Kuna Maze - Layers

Out Friday 7th March, 'Layers' is the sophomore album by Brussels-based producer, multi-instrumentalist and DJ Kuna Maze, aka Edouard Gilbert. The live-driven, 11-track LP features previously released singles "Blast", "Stab", and "Bristol Changes". Following the success of Kuna Maze's debut album 'Night Shift'—a concept record exploring the journey into the night and praised by Groove, Four Heads and Mo Ayoub (BBC Radio 1) — 'Layers' offers a dynamic fusion of textures and tones, creating a listening experience that reveals new depths with each spin. 'Layers' is a project deeply influenced by Kuna Maze's experience of touring with his live band. "My aim was to capture the energy and improvisational spirit of live performances, while diving deeper into the jazz influences of my music, all while maintaining the electronic vibe that has always defined my sound". Kuna Maze worked directly with the band in the studio to record his compositions, channelling the energy, emotion and spontaneity that are present in his live shows. The title 'Layers' reflects Kuna Maze's approach to music and art as a whole. "I love the idea of multiple levels of listening, where each time you hear a song, you notice something new. My composition process often involves layering instruments and tracks, gradually building a rich, textured sound."
