Soul Notion EP by Jean-Jez

Jean-Jez has made waves in Berlin’s underground for a good while now, with his Kedi Bounce parties (which he co-founded) quickly becoming a celebratory cornerstone of community and culture. His DJing style and production approach act as a core expressional loop, with Jean-Jez embracing a multitude of styles and sounds with both. Bridging the gap between house, Jazz, Hip-Hop, Afro-Latin, and beyond, Jean-Jez is all about nurturing the collective joy found within music - either through his own tunes or deep in the mix at a Kat Nip party.

"Soul Notion" wears its heart on its sleeve and embodies the core musical principles that Jean-Jez holds so dear. "Did you want to dance" kicks things off with a deep melodic embrace before spreading outwards with brassy frills, evocative simmering drumming patterns, and vocal samples that kick the inner consciousness into another gear.

"Take Me to the Moon" features an up-front piano lead, with uptempo drums adding a twist and flair to proceedings. Some inspired vocals further enhance the atmosphere, which is one of airiness and emotional escapism.

To wrap things up, "What is it tell me" stirs into life with a wide scope through the low ends, but Jean-Jez cooks up a storm with some wondrous jazz guitar that weaves one final spell to get lost deep within.

Jean-Jez looks to celebrate and resonate through his music, and this EP is a full demonstration of his ability to bring things together. Seamlessly blending some of his favourite styles, this record contains all the feels to be wished for and an experience that leaves plenty of room for return visits.
