Mazde – Battas feat. LissA

Off Mazde’s new three-song EP Mazde x LissA, Battas represents a subtle shift towards a smoother, darker vibe for the Berlin producer. While you can still find his signature trip hop sound in the latest project, Mazde’s new exploration with melodic house (and at times orchestral segments beaming with cinematic grandeur) really sets this EP apart. When trying to define Mazde’s varied sound, perhaps try following his bio’s instructions: “Take his dad’s obsession with Jack Johnson, mix it with East Europe’s obsession with dance music, add some Chrome Sparks, Ta-Ku, Jamie xx, Hayden James and more and bake for 10 minutes, then you have Mazde.” That’s a combo we can get behind.
