Raz Ohara’s invites us into a transcendent meditation on intimacy, memory, and sonic evolution in 'Memories Of Tomorrow'

There’s a certain magic that lingers in the margins of Raz Ohara’s music — a flicker of something ungraspable yet deeply felt. On 'Memories Of Tomorrow', his ninth studio album, the Berlin-based artist delves into that intangible space with remarkable grace, offering a body of work that feels at once cinematic and visceral, a mirror to both personal history and collective longing.

Released via House Of Frequency, 'Memories Of Tomorrow' arrives with the spellbinding lead focus track “Vessel Of Love”, a sprawling meditation on the repression of intimacy and love within modern society. Swathed in warm analog textures and tethered to Ohara’s quietly devastating vocal delivery, the track conjures an atmosphere that’s both timeless and deeply current. It’s a moment of stillness amidst motion — a kind of sonic alchemy that channels the emotional spaciousness of artists like Bonobo or Connan Mockasin, while remaining rooted in Ohara’s unmistakable creative fingerprint.

Premiered on CLASH Magazine, with early support from Electronic Groove and Radio Eins, the album is already gaining traction — and rightly so. Across its runtime, 'Memories Of Tomorrow' plays like a dream archive of Ohara’s 30-year musical journey: genre boundaries blur into insignificance as elements of ambient, jazz, folk, downtempo, and minimal techno thread together with seamless cohesion. It’s also entirely performed live — no loops, no samples — which lends each track a tactile, breathing quality that’s increasingly rare in electronic music.

“The album title refers to, in a spiritual sense, passing beyond the realm of space and time, and so looking into life and the world from the other side of the veils of our matrix we experience as human beings in life. From this perspective, we look upon the future and the past at the same time.”

Ohara, whose previous collaborative orbit has included the likes of Apparat, Chilly Gonzales, Acid Pauli, and Luomo, remains a figure at the edges of classification. Whether through his solo work or projects like The Odd Orchestra and Feathered Sun, he has consistently resisted the industry’s gravitational pull towards predictability.

At its core, this is an album about space — emotional, sonic, and temporal. It invites close listening, rewards patience, and resists passive consumption. Whether you’re drifting inward on a late-night drive or watching the sun rise on a Balearic beach (perhaps during his upcoming summer residency at Babel, Ibiza), 'Memories Of Tomorrow' is less an album and more a feeling — quietly urgent, endlessly expansive, and unmistakably Raz Ohara.
