REARRANGE YOURSELF (ft. Ben Westbeech & Obi Franky) (Radio Edit)

When there are so many different sounds and techniques at one’s disposal, it’s a waste to repeat what’s already done. That notion is embedded deeply into the core of NO ART, the label by ANOTR. Instead, the imprint is colored by innovation and focuses on a sound that’s edgy.

Like any story, Makèz's music carries multiple layers. Their recent projects reveal an approach that challenges listeners to listen beyond surface-level expectations. Inspired by artists who defy easy categorization -like Slum Village, Masters at Work, Moodymann and Theo Parrish- they create music that finds beauty in nuance. Each track becomes an invitation: a moment to explore, to feel, and connect.

The duo found each other in their early high school days, through a shared love for house music. They’ve spent over 15 years translating their taste and vision into music that lives somewhere between underground club grooves and songs that resonate beyond the dance floor. Drawing from the rich textures of hip hop, jazz, and disco, they craft electronic music that feels both familiar and fresh—a bridge between nostalgic rhythms and contemporary production.

Their journey from teenage music enthusiasts to international artists, is a narrative of organic growth and musical intuition. After moving to Amsterdam, they immersed themselves in the city's nightlife, transforming their youthful musical curiosity into a professional pursuit that would reach dance floors across the globe. The two developed an almost telepathic connection—complementing each other's strengths both on stage and in the studio. Their differences aren't obstacles, but the very source of their creative language.

Makèz’s discography has been marked by releases on labels like Heist, No Art, Balance Recordings, and Classic Music Company. However, 2023 marked their definitive international breakthrough with "Downstream ft. Life On Planets" as summer's most sought-after track ID.

My passion for music began when I was young and recorded my own playlist on a cassette using my grandfather's vintage stereo. As a teenager, my friends and I would often take road trips to the nearby big city, but the local radio stations never played what we wanted to hear. That's when I took matters into my own hands and brought along my own mixtape.

My friends loved the music I curated, and it quickly became a tradition to listen to my mixtape during our trips. Soon, others in my small town caught wind of my mixes and started asking for copies. I saw this as an opportunity to create something more personal, so I began branding my mixtapes with the name "CiaE".

As more and more people requested copies, I realized how much I loved creating music that people enjoyed. This early experience ignited a passion within me that would later shape my career as a musician.
