Eastern Block by Kovacs

EN.
Our first release is by Nandor Kurtossy, the young Hungarian producer. He started making music in ’96, so nowadays he has his own massive musical archive including his works under the name Kovacs as well as the rest of his side projects like Savages (downtempo), Vega Ass (funk breaks), Cockchafer (trip hop). The pseudonym Kovacs covers dirty jazz mixed with sensual electronica. What he simply calls “nu-jazz”, however, is proved to be much more beyond its common meaning.

Első megjelenésként egy magyar producer munkáját mutatjuk be. Kürtössy Nándor ’96 óta foglalkozik zenék írásával, aminek gyümölcse mára egy masszív zenei archivum lett. Több fedőnév alatt munkálkodik (Savages, Vega Ass, Cockchafer), ami mind különböző irányba mutat. “Kovacs” alteregó alatt a piszkos jazz-t keveri érzéki elektronikával, amit ő egyszerűen “nu jazz”-ként aposztrofál. Ám a köztudatban szereplő “nu jazz” kifejezésnél ez jóval távolabb mutat…
