møziz, a Montréal-based artist originating from the Ivory Coast, is a self-taught polymath whose work explores the delicate balance between settings, cultures, and fashion. Stretched generously across a double LP, the artist delivers a mammoth nineteen track journey for his debut album ‘E-møtion: Time Machine + Cycles’.

 

Across the LP, møziz demonstrates his ability to distil his influences into emotive, engaging, and varied electronica, as exemplified on ‘Fallingisgrowing’, which sees vivid claps and flanged shakers shine through a bed of dynamic synthesis and vocal slices.

 

‘I composed this song in April 2019, and since then so many evolutions have taken place. In the beginning, the song was called \”fall\”. With more learning and experience, I reopened the project during the first lockdown in 2020. I\’m used to exploring different palettes of emotions. The emotions that come out in this song emerged during a period of recession that we all experienced around the world.’ – ​møziz

 

Elsewhere on the release, from the shuffling and crisp opener ‘Humankind’ to the closing vocoder laced number ‘Let it go’, møziz’s skill for crafting profoundly warm and personal music is abundant across all nineteen tracks.

 

By bringing together disparate elements from genres such as ambient, R&B, and more, møziz provides a wide-ranging yet laser-focused sonic palette for his debut LP, providing ample proof of unique and multi-faceted talent to watch closely.

 

møziz ‘E-møtion: Time Machine + Cycles’ drops on Collection Disques Durs on 26th March. Lead single ‘Butterflyeffects\’ is out on 19th March.
