Review: Over the years, Gorje Hewek has released numerous singles and EPs on All Day I Dream, almost all of them alongside long-time studio partner Izhevski. On debut album Collages he's largely operating solo, though there's no discernible dip in quality. Musically, it's as melodious, colourful and mood-enhancing as you'd expect, with Hewek wrapping tech-tinged deep house beats and warm, smooth basslines in all manner of vibrant melodies, chords and exotic instrumentation. There are a handful of quietly impressive collaborations - see the picturesque, sub-heavy Lost Desert hook-up 'Aya' and fragrant M.O.S joint production 'Amulet' - but for the most part it's the genuinely solo efforts the linger longest in the memory. If you dig the melodious All Day I Dream sound, then you genuinely need this album in your life.
