LennyMendy’s Kyoto: A Neon-Drenched Trip You Didn’t Know You Needed
Let’s get one thing straight—LennyMendy’s Kyoto isn’t your run-of-the-mill electro house album. Released in 2015 under Italy’s Get Over Records, this little gem punches way above its weight class. It’s the kind of record that sneaks up on you when you're least expecting it, like finding an extra fry at the bottom of the bag. And trust me, once it sinks its teeth into you, it doesn’t let go.
The title track, “Kyoto,” is where the magic kicks off. Imagine cruising through neon-lit streets in some futuristic version of Japan (because, well, Kyoto). The beat drops hard but smooth, like a velvet-covered brick. There’s this synth line that just loops in your head for days—it’s sticky, infectious, and kinda hypnotic. It's not trying too hard to be cool; it just is. You don’t listen to “Kyoto”—you experience it. By the time the breakdown hits, you’re already lost in its pulsating rhythm, wondering how something so simple can feel so damn cinematic.
Then there’s another banger—I won’t spoil all the surprises—but let’s talk about “Neon Pulse” for a sec. This track feels like the chaotic cousin of “Kyoto.” It’s got sharper edges, grittier basslines, and a vibe that screams late-night adventures. The drop? Oh man, it slaps. Like, proper face-melting stuff. What sticks with me most is how LennyMendy layers sounds here—you think you’ve got it figured out, then BAM, he throws in these tiny details that make you hit replay just to catch ‘em all. It’s playful but deliberate, like he knows exactly what buttons to press to keep you hooked.
Now, sure, Kyoto might not reinvent the wheel or anything groundbreaking like that. But honestly? That’s part of its charm. It doesn’t need to overcomplicate things because it nails the basics so damn well. Electro house fans will eat this up, no questions asked. Even if you’re new to the genre, tracks like “Kyoto” and “Neon Pulse” are gateway drugs—you’ll be diving headfirst into playlists before you know it.
Here’s the kicker though: after listening to this album, I couldn’t help but wonder… does LennyMendy ever sleep? Because creating music this vibrant and full of energy seems like the kind of thing that only happens when someone drinks six espressos at 3 AM while staring at a city skyline. Or maybe he’s just really good at channeling those electric vibes from wherever artists pull their inspiration.
So yeah, give Kyoto a spin. Whether you’re working out, zoning out, or just vibing in your room, it’s got the juice to turn any moment into something special. Just don’t blame me when you can’t stop humming “Kyoto” for the next week.
