about

New York City producer Kaazi conceives of his woozy rhythm experiments in lofty terms – utopian extensions of self, alternate windows of perception, “something to move beyond the static,” etc. – but their mesmeric and transportive properties require little explanation. Zen Travel voyages through nine winding, textured terrains of breathy acid funk, foggy jungle dub, and violet vaporous house, inspired by youthful trips to Tokyo and the synthetic fusion of Hiroshi Yoshimura and Yasuaki Shimizu.

Recorded in the summer and fall of 2015 using a Bass Station, Prophet 600, and minimal palette of FX, the tracks were born from long-form improvisational sessions, then later edited for brevity and essence. The titles gesture at the mood and motion of each microcosm – “Air,” “Tropics,” “Skate,” “Street,” “Cruise” – but taken as a collection Kaazi conjures a sense of expanse, altitudes, flux, and feeling, where dance floor and devotion dissolve into one state of being.

Great ! Huge fan of Akasha System (Hunter P. Thompson) albums. I'm so glad I could pick them up here. So peaceful calm, warm electro deep ambient house music. Whole albums are so beautiful & groovy. Sound research defines a particularity very specific to the artist. Don't miss it for a lo-fi house moment! Open your hears ! jef37
