Klaz, known for his intuitive collaborations with musicians as a producer, is launching his own third album Comfortzone II in summer 2022. This new collection of tracks aims to create a listening experience that focuses on positive vibes and a spectrum of upbeat moods. Â
Each track charts an atmospheric path exploring a theme or feeling, bringing in uplifting brass composition, soaring strings and fragments of conversation. The music moves from quiet solos to energetic big band flurries, picks up expressive vocalisation and is pushed forward by snappy percussion.Â
For this album Klaz works with a variety of rhythms, emulating both classic and more contemporary feels. He has blended funk, trip-hop and syncopated beats with bright, chilled interwoven melodies and voice excerpts to create a series of evocative, instrumental pieces.
