The producer and composer of electronic
music known as Coflo has released his latest EP album, “Gazin.”
The extended-play record has been proudly published on the Catch the
Ghost independent music label, which is also home to such popular
up-and-coming artists as Tomahawk Bang and Noey Lopez. “Gazin” is
composed of four tracks for an approximate total listening time of 30
minutes (the “Gazin” original version, plus three disparate
remixes) making for a roundly satisfying and comprehensive
introduction to Coflo's style. Mellow and sophisticated, excellent
for dancing, background music, or night drives across town, “Gazin”
by Coflo is reason to pay attention to this exciting new artist and
recording label.
Coflo cites as main artistic influences
Floating Points, Atjazz, Flako, Theo Parish, Moodyman, Tomahawk Bang,
and DJ Cecil. While many similarities emerge when comparing “Gazin”
to releases by these other considerable talents, Coflo's music is
more subtle and reliant on sonic undercurrents than most EDM
producers. His beats are solid and grooving, but not overt, and his
bass is not the focal point of any one of the tracks. Coflo's
instrumentation is carefully balanced and blended, marked by
attributes of ambient music, and changes from track to track to
produce entirely different feels without completely divorcing any one
remix from its stylistic relation to the others.
Speaking of his impetus in composing electronic music, Coflo often talks more about dancing than he does composition.

“As a student of dance for the past
two decades,” he writes, “music is fundamental in how I express
myself.”
He describes his new EP in succinct and
exact terms.
“'Gazin' is a journey through sound
and syncopation. There are three very different mixes that provide a
different sense of atmosphere, from a casual listen to a late-night
dance floor.”
More than merely a dancer and music
producer, Coflo busies himself with in-depth researches into the
thoughts, theories and histories of dance. His official artist's bio
states that “His respect extends to all of those who came before
him and with great humility does his best to recreate the great
lessons, thoughts and styles of the past … Creating something that
is entirely new is all too difficult when we can probably benefit a
lot more from respecting the past.”
“Gazin” by Coflo is available
worldwide from Catch the Ghost (link provided below) and over 750
music outlets online.
