After solid works published on Feinstoff, Club Mackan, and Volition, to name a few, French-born, Barcelona-based producer Jo Kazan arrives on the Espacio Cielo imprint with “Ride of the Bat,” a compelling two-original EP that showcases his ability to craft music with both dance-floor impact and emotional resonance. The parcel is complemented with reworks from JG Outsider (FREEDL052) and the collaborative team of Silicodisco & Mao Fonnegra, offering listeners multiple perspectives on Kazan’s distinctive sound. With its carefully balanced blend of club energy and atmospheric depth, this EP demonstrates why Kazan has been gaining attention in the Indie Dance and Dark Disco circuits.
Premiered here, the title track immediately establishes itself as the EP’s centerpiece – a dark, pulsating journey that commands attention from the first beat. Built around a muscular, undulating bassline that seems to breathe with its own organic energy, the theme creates an almost palpable sense of anticipation. Kazan layers in subtle melodic elements with surgical precision, allowing just enough light to pierce through the track’s shadowy foundation. The rhythm section drives forward with relentless purpose, making this an ideal weapon for those transformative late-night moments when the dance floor becomes something more than just a physical space.
You can find (and buy) this and other music pearls on the Beatport page of the label.
