dj koze might be one of the worlds best producers. but above all hes a dj. and it’s his dj ear that governs. just as in a great set. so with his releases: seeing aliens came out of nowhere. a big buzzing beast of a track. to announce that koze was back on the scene and prime everyone for the coming album. knock knock. but now that koze has your attention. it’s time to remind everyone what’s most important about club music. pull things back. take a turn to the left. and get deep into the groove. thus pick up: the second single from knock knock is 100% pure groove. doubly so in the extended 12inch version. in a sense its incredibly familiar it is essentially a filter disco record. very close to something you could imagine coming out of paris around the turn of the millennium. but of course. this is koze. nothing is normal or familiar in his world. and hes taken this most foundational of clubland staples into new territory

kanja records is sincerely honored to present its sixth vinyl release. based on a concept called sunday mornings. with this series of releases we will focus on that warm up. early morning. after party gems and slowly fading away from peak time music. our philosophy behind this concept is that the focus goes to the tracks being timeless. and music that you can listen to in every time of day and night. music that offers a vast variety. but in the end coming together in that sweet and warm morning glory. bidon by university of nowhere was definitely our first pick for the first track on this release. nice warm pads and steady broken beats are becoming a trademark for their production. astral control by maurice giovannini perfectly sits beside our opening track with its laid back mood and again nice moody pads. insen gathway by widovski. an opening track on our b side. with nice minimalistic grooves. warm pads and freaky background ticks. surely deserves a spot on this release. defenders of prisma by gabriele carasco and enzo pietropaolo is the final track on this vinyl release. a really special track. which has a very mysterious and sentimental vibe and nicely rounds up our sixth release.

the people in fog are back on sov! as smooth sky blue colour cat can represent. this ep has a smoother beat than the artists usual style. if you remember their previous ep with a darker colour. now the punching kick and identical house bass are gone and this ep is true showing off the producer s ability as a musician who can adapt to any kind of diversity. the first track last song has deep bass and atmospheric sounds. like a typical romanian loop. but after the long trippy beat when the piano sounds kick in. the atmosphere changes and brings back the emotion. the second track get funky is also truly hybrid version of house. while the combination of funky vocals and the endless hi-hat and shaker keep the groove tight and the deep down pad sounds mixed smoothly with the forest of beat make for a truly a unique character. the last track alright is a very joyful one. even though it uses a typical funky house vocal sample. its unique way of playing percussion and vocal keep the groove totally all-right

maria an organic piano-laden house track with a moody. ominous. misleading filtered start which flourishes into a feel-good house track with compelling whispering vocals and layered chords. got the taste zones in on the relentless groove with breathless vocal stabs and unforgiving deepness which conforms to a simplistic affable approach. rounding up the ep is maria remixed by berlin based producer beaner the la mission label head serves up a trippy off kilter-creation with a clever contrast to the original.
