Album Review: Koh Samui by Kali Kinki Tognetti Alright, let’s talk about Koh Samui, the 1996 gem from Kali Kinki Tognetti. If you’re into electronic music with a progressive trance twist, this Italian release on Subway Records might just hit the spot. Written by Davide Cali, it’s one of those albums that feels like a little time capsule, transporting you to a beach in Thailand—or at least, that’s what I imagine when I listen to it. The album has three tracks, all variations of the same vibe but each with its own flavor. Let’s zoom in on two that really stuck with me. First up is “Koh Samui (Lamai).” This track is smooth as butter, man. It starts off slow and dreamy, like you’re walking barefoot on warm sand at sunset. Then, bam—it builds into this hypnotic beat that makes you wanna close your eyes and sway. It’s not too in-your-face; instead, it sneaks up on you, layer by layer. That’s what I love about progressive trance—it doesn’t rush you. By the time the main melody kicks in, you’re already floating. I remember this track because it feels like a journey. Like, if you played it during a road trip, you’d suddenly realize you’ve been staring out the window for way too long, lost in thought. Then there’s “Koh Samui (Chaweng Ver.).” Okay, so this version is a bit punchier. It’s got more energy, almost like someone decided to throw a party on that same beach after dark. The bassline here is solid—like, you can feel it in your chest kind of solid. What gets me is how it balances chill vibes with a bit of edge. You could totally dance to this one, but it’s still mellow enough to vibe with on headphones late at night. I think this track sticks with me because it’s versatile. Whether you’re cleaning your room or zoning out after a long day, it fits. Now, I gotta say, listening to this album feels a bit like finding an old mixtape in your attic. It’s got that ‘90s charm without trying too hard. And yeah, while the production might not be as polished as today’s standards, there’s something raw and real about it. You can tell it was made with passion, not algorithms. Here’s the thing though—why name all the tracks after places on Koh Samui? Makes me wonder if Davide or Kali ever actually went there. Did they sit on the beach scribbling notes, or was it all imagined? Either way, they nailed the tropical-meets-trance vibe. So yeah, Koh Samui isn’t perfect, but it’s got soul. Listening to it reminds me of simpler times, even though I wasn’t even born in ’96. Weird, right? Anyway, if you’re into progressive trance or just need some background tunes that won’t bore you to death, give this one a spin. Who knows? Maybe you’ll find yourself booking a flight to Thailand afterward. Or at least dreaming about it.
