Electronic artist Sanoi unveils ‘Count It’, a standalone single to kick off the new year on Loop Electronic. The track arrives as a pivotal moment within Augenblick, an album project deliberately split into Side A and Side B to mirror its creation as an entire body of work.
Musically, ‘Count It’ stands out as one of Sanoi’s most unexpected productions to date. The track draws clear influence from the mid-2000s LA beats scene, echoing the era’s loose swing, raw rhythmic sensibility, and experimental edge. Clocking in at under two minutes long, ‘Count It’ delivers its impact with immediacy - distilled, focused and intentionally brief.
Released between the two halves of the album, ‘Count It’ follows Augenblick: Side A (December 5, 2025) and precedes Augenblick: Side B (February 20, 2026). Positioned at the project’s midpoint, the single serves as both a connective bridge and a focused introduction for listeners newly discovering Sanoi’s sound.
Known more for his house and techno releases, Sanoi explores new sonic territory on Augenblick, finding the producer exercising his creativity in the studio. The album features explorations in ambient, lo-fi beats and deep house, alongside experiments with odd time signatures and sub-bass drops. The result is a genre-blurring, unexpectedly introspective listen - reminiscent of the heydays of labels such as Warp Records and Brainfeeder, reimagined through the lens of a seasoned dance music artist.
