: Release Notes: \/ , \/ ,
' '
,: æDΘbutsÆ is France-via-Brussels duo, Nikitch & Kuna MazeÆs (aka :,
: Nicolas Morant & Edouard Gilbert) first full length album. :
:' Building on their collaborative EP ôMushö, æDΘbutsÆ continues ':
,: to explore the melting point between jazz and club culture, :,
: interspersed with the signature sounds of broken beat, Chicago :
:' footwork, UK garage, Detroit house, and underpinned by their ':
,: road-tested new live format. :,
: :
:' æDΘbutsÆ seeÆs the band push their musical and creative ':
,: development further, a result of touring extensively around :,
: Europe with a live drummer and playing everywhere from high-brow :
:' jazz festivals to sweaty basement clubs. Tracks such as ô46 Rue ':
,: Du Fortö and ôMonopoli Driverö tie the feelings of shared :,
: experiences at geographical locations to the music itself. A :
:' frantic taxi driver in the Italian village of Monopoli is ':
,: cemented into the footwork frenzy of ôMonopoli DriverÆ, ô46 Rue :,
: Du Fortö is the address of the rehearsal space in Brussels, and :
:' ôFrancisÆ Themeö is a soundtrack dedicated to Edouard and ':
,: Nicolas, the FrancisÆ boys û a nickname given to the duo by :,
: their drummer. The album includes standout tracks from the :
:' ôMushö EP; the vibrant jazz-funk explosion ôZBRAö, broken beat ':
,: revivalist anthem ôBrukö, downtempo and spoken words snippets of :,
: ôJPSö, the frantic footwork and juke influences in ôThe Leakö, :
:' and soul-saturated ôCBDö. ':
,: :,
: Nikitch & Kuna Maze channel their instrumental skills to create :
:' compositions using their common chemistry; blurring the lines ':
,: between improvisation, production and the art of DJing. All :,
: these aspects become the creative DNA for the duo and become a :
:' catalyst in the music itself. ':
,: :,
: æDΘbutsÆ is fronted by lead-single ôHey, This Must Be Deep", a :
:' track that evolves from a string-synth soundscape intro into a ':
,: bruk swung-groove, with a firm nod towards Brazilian jazz/funk. :,
: The title of the single is a homage to the words spoken by :
:' jazz-poet Gil Scott-Heron at one of his legendary one man ':
,: shows. :,
