And the samples chest was full of marvel … Getting back to my jazzy hazy freestyle realm I took the basic ingredients (chords, vox, drum and percussion loops and a rap line) and worked out a moving track that also features a restrained Rickenbacker Dub Bass accompaniment and a short synth melody line by the end of it. The piece is divided into two parts. Hoping to catch your ears as well. Enjoy the upcoming summer feeling and hold on to your dreams. Cheers beat maker fellows!

Claudio Malz is an up-and-coming DJ and music producer 
Claudio’s journey into the world of electronic music began in his early years. Born and raised in Argentina, Claudio was exposed to music from a young age. With a natural ear for rhythm and melody, he gravitated towards electronic music during his teenage years, particularly the sounds of house and techno that were shaping the global dance music scene.

Inspired by the groove-driven sounds of tech house and deep house, Claudio began experimenting with production software, learning the intricacies of music production and sound design. His passion for dance music and the energy of the club scene led him to develop a sound that would eventually become synonymous with his name: deep, infectious grooves, and punchy basslines paired with catchy vocal chops and dark, minimalistic elements.

Berlin based producer, freelance artist and Art and English teacher. At the age of 9 I was taught playing piano, switched to the oboe when I was 14 years old and bought my first soprano saxophone ten years later. Electronic and Jazz music infected me in my early adolescence. The intention to make music is merely an intrinsic urge to create worlds of wonder and amazement.
