Bodaishin and 9DEEP Explore Atmospheric Depth on Tales of Feathers

There’s something different about how 9DEEP and Bodaishin are introducing Tales of Feathers. It doesn’t arrive like a club weapon or a peak-time statement. It feels intentional, paced, and very aware of the space it wants to occupy. Out February 6, 2026 under the new Feathers of Life concept from Circle of Life, this release reads like a tone-setter rather than a single chasing attention.

The framing matters here. Feathers of Life is positioned as a refined extension of Circle of Life, leaning into cinematic structure, atmosphere, and emotional depth. That might sound familiar on paper, but in practice, this track commits to restraint in a way that actually feels disciplined. It unfolds slowly, and it trusts you to stay with it.

A New Direction That Feels Personal

For Bodaishin, who has played rooms from Ibiza to Miami and Barcelona, this feels like a recalibration toward intimacy. His background in melodic electronic music is still there, but here the scale shrinks in a productive way. It feels more internal. 9DEEP complements that shift with a similarly measured approach, and together they land somewhere between club functionality and focused listening.

I respect releases that resist the pressure to overstate themselves. This one does that. It stays composed. It lets silence work as part of the arrangement. That confidence is harder to pull off than a big drop.

If Feathers of Life is meant to be a long-term concept, this is a strong opening move. It sets expectations clearly and leaves room to expand. For listeners who prefer electronic music that unfolds rather than demands, Tales of Feathers offers exactly that kind of experience.
