Trauma & Groove: Inside Al Kenizo's "Don't Lock Me Out" Right, let's dive into this sonic soup, shall we? Al Kenizo's "Dont lock me out," a single teasing an upcoming album, has arrived. And… it's doing things. Things to my ears, things to my soul, possibly things to the structural integrity of my coffee table, which I may or may not have started tapping my foot on. https://open.spotify.com/album/3zlLqdL4N4H60BALBvqTcF?si=yZSd1aJuSc-2tn-R0OuikA The genre is tagged as "Soulful Electronic," and, yep, that hits the nail somewhere near the head. It's groovy, for sure, making you want to move in ways you probably shouldn't in public. It feels akin to stumbling upon a lost recording from a 1970s sci-fi film – retro yet futuristic, familiar yet strange. Did anyone else just think about cheese for a second? No? Just me? Okay, moving on. Al Kenizo, a solo electronic artist, funnels trauma and personal experience into their music. Rollo Armstrong comparisons feel deserved, not beacuse their styles sound the same. Its the shared emotional landscape between artists. "Dont lock me out" is a plea, a bargain, a contradiction wrapped in a pulsating beat. The speaker is clinging to someone, a muse perhaps, a source of life… even while dreaming of independence. "Give me another chance," the subtext screams, "but also, I might just fly away."

Al Kenizo on Creativity, Vulnerability, and the Journey of Self-Discovery The music from Al Kenizo comes from two opposite musical spheres - sentimental piano melodies that strike deep emotions while deep house rhythms drive your body to dance. Through his latest single "Find My Own Way" the Australian musician reveals how he transformed difficult situations into a thing of beauty. The recording took place in what nobody would suspect - the bathroom became his creative sanctuary. The way Harnes made his music occupies the same level of fascination as his musical production. When he began performing in Sydney's club venues Al developed a strong desire to produce his own musical creations. You will detect elements from Ludovico Einaudi's emotional melodies mingling with Chicane's electronic synthesis though you hear a completely fresh composition from him. Since making music he has expanded his artistic expression to include painting alongside his musical compositions while trying out unique ways to fully express his inner ideas. Our interview with Al focused on his song "Find My Own Way" and music's power to transform us while exploring his upcoming plans.
