Turn the Volume Down

The latest musical coup from the Tyrolean Producers and Dj's The Waz Exp. & Mr.Kju on Electunes leads us into a more melancholic sphere.

This release tries to describe the atmosphere during the coronavirus lockdown in Austria.Life & Work on a reduced level.

The Remix by The German jazz pianist and electronic musician "Loopus" reveals a housier style and impresses with a deep atmosphere. His maxime is to merge electronic music with the human factor of a live performance. Thus except some samples of the original version, all synths, Rhodes piano and a majority of the drum patterns were recorded live by the artist and have been quantised only to a minimally necessary degree.

Hillberg and D-Tex – the alter Egos of Giorgio Merano and Donna D´Estate (or is it the other way round?) are usually based around Linz Austria and meander between their base, Merano in Italy and their apartments in Hollywood Hills, Los Angeles – however...:

Their remix is meant to reflect 2020´s very special nature: Therefore they utilized voice samples from a video of Chinese activist and citizen activist Chen Qiushi in the song´s intro: In this video he describes the terrible conditions in Wuhan´s hospitals at the beginning of the Corona-crisis.

Chen Qiushi "disappeared" in February 2020 – until now without a trace.
