After releasing his amazing debut “Diamond Days” on Traum and the follow up “Nothingness EP” Egokind told us he had the idea for an album already sitting in the back of his head.
To be able to convert all of his ideas he asked his long time friend and collaborator Ozean to work with him.
The album shows that Egokind and Ozean both draw ideas from multiple genres resulting in eccentric club tracks, interludes which are based on improvisation and composition and mesmerizing downbeat trax.
Nevertheless Egokind & Ozean’s long player feels personal rather than patchwork and a lot is due to their individual approach of not paying attention to establishing formulas but to develop their own.
The whole album does not feature one synth sound instead all is recorded and transformed using: Guitar, Rhodes, Piano and manipulated voice.

Egokind and Ozean are trained musicians who play in bands and study at the school of arts in Berlin. The idea for the album was to come up with a composition which is harmonic and can be played also on the piano itself.
Although both of them like melancholic and dark music as they state it was their intention to create a “friendly album” which is capable of embracing the listener and the clubber.
For their album they both say Terry Riley was one big influence.
Egokind and Ozean have been working together for years, but have not released much as a duo. One of their first tracks produced together (“Sinus”) was released on Traum in February 2014 , you can find the track as one of the two bonus tracks on this album.

The Berlin based duo keeps a low profile, reflective of both their refusal to attach themselves to any linear narrative of what it means to be an artist in the digital age and a vast talent for creating their own language and sound design.
With their music Egokind & Ozean show a new generation of listeners and clubbers how to embody music without having to know the rules. In a way they give you permission to discover music.
The album starts with “Mega” a track which illustrates their approach to touch many grounds resulting in something gigantic. The track itself begins rather acoustic inviting you to the private world of Egokind & Ozean, before it becomes a joyous balearic tune that despite its wealth keeps slight dissonances coming and going. …More
