Crazy For ( Thinking this is love )

Makèz have come a long way since they first sneaked into Amsterdam’s studio 80 at the age of 17 to hand over their demos to Dam Swindle. Those demos led to their debut EP ‘Different planets’on Heist in 2019 which gained major support from artists like Seth Troxler and Chez Damier. Quickly after, they signed two records on New York based label Let’s Play House. Fast forward two years, and here we are with their debut album.
 
‘City Of All’ shows a level of sophistication and matureness, effortlessly bridging genres across its thirteen cuts. You can feel the thought that has been put into this record, with tracks blending into each other as Makèz submerge themselves in their concept of accidental encounters, inclusiveness and what it means to live in a city like Amsterdam.  
 
On this album, Makèz bring together all the musical influences they’ve picked up in their life as music fans, clubbers, and art students. The jazz-funk of opening track ‘The Entrance’, feels breezy and casual, like freeform rhythms played in a jazz club soundcheck. Energy oozes from ‘Not So Different’, featuring the smooth vocals of LYMA. There’s a hint of the house-meets-R’n B vibe that made Anderson .Paak the star that he is now. Brilliantly funky, this song shows the talent of Makèz, who cleverly use pop & soul cues to create one of the album’s highlights. 
 
What follows is four cuts ranging from the syncopated Balearic funk of ‘Orbit’, the strings of title track ‘City Of All’, the organ-led, ‘Gonna Getya’ and the downbeat ‘Sonder’. Allysha Joy, as part of Melbourne Hip Hop collective 30/70, features on the deep and jazzy ‘Looking Up’.  If Makèz and Allysha are all looking up, it’s clear they’re seeing the same thing! These kindred spirits perfectly complement each other, the deep bass, warm harmonies and jazzy percussion prove to be a perfect foundation for Allysha’s rhymes.
 
Is it an album all about jazz and soul to listen to at home? Far from it. There are dance floor-oriented tracks, where the distorted filter funk of ‘Roselane’ featuring Fouk, proves to be a highlight along with what is arguably the heaviest cut of the album ‘Bent With Funk’.
 
In an EP context, these house tracks would surely do their work, but they really come to life in this album. No compromise has been made to storytelling and the house tracks all play their part while still standing their ground in a club. 
The expert production and smart arrangement gives this collection its casually funky feel.  On ‘City Of All’ Makèz showcase their remarkable talent for writing an album that goes to so many different places, but most of all, just really feels like home.

Ahmet Sendil End Of Year 2020 Mix

In a near saturated world of DJ’s, how do you get one that can properly cut the mustard and raise the roof at a party? The DJ that you talk about the most, even once you’ve sobered up and the party is over. Tina Hart is that DJ - she’s been spinning records for the past 22 years and has mastered the art of getting a crowd to dance even in the small hours of the night/morning.
 
With a vast musical career that spans across the globe. Her roots lie within the underground music scene in London, Brighton, Belfast, Thailand and Bristol. The past decade has seen her hold numerous residencies to include at forward thinking Bristol club nights Minotaur Sound, Amoeba and Hush.
 
It’s hardly surprising how, after such hard work to get her talents recognised, that Tina has stepped into a natural limelight. Her initiation into Djing consisted of playing out at illegal raves in Brighton in 1999. She would be one of the only women turning up with her records trying to blag a set, usually at around 8am in the morning after all the guys were mashed up. By the time everyone had been lambasted with 140+bmp hard techno, Tina would play house or old skool rave tracks and bring everyone back to life again whilst the sun would rise. It’s what Minotaur Sound calls the ‘Tina effect’ and she still has that magical knack today.
 
Tina is the perfect example of a DJ playing in her ‘flow’ and quotes ‘Music is like oxygen, I can’t breathe without it. It saved me from dark times and lifted me to new heights. Djing is a feeling, it flows through me like a lightsabre of energy. I’ve never been fixated on one kind of sound. To me music is energy and sometimes the room just needs a totally different energy shift. This is just like life and I’m never afraid to do this as that’s generated some of the best crowd reactions’.
 
Her cross-genre talents have seen her support an array of musically diverse artists such as Alter Ego, Fatboy Slim, Shapeshifters, Paul Harris, Steve Mac, Colin Dale, Radio 1's Annie Nightingale, Andy George & Jaymo, Octave One, Alex Metric, Hoxton Whores, Chris Liberator, Billy Nasty, Rob Tissera, Beardy Man, JFB, Queen Bee, DJ Derrick, Alex Banks & Radioactive Man.
 
Tina came runner up in a Pioneer Lady DJ competition in Bangkok in 2010 and has organised and resided at some illustrious underground parties to include Vibe Sound, Pride, Kosmik, Volks and Mynt. Her musical influences are vast – including Doorly, Jimpster, Honey Dijon, Alex Kenji, Format:B, Eli Brown, Detroit Swindle, Motor city drum ensemble, Zeb Bias and Patrick Topping to name just a few.
 
She’s held a charismatic stage presence at Blue Mountain, Basement 45 and more recently at Shambala Festival and Loco Klub. With her versatility and crowd-reading ability Tina is the perfect addition to any electronic music event and is certainly a DJ to watch.
