Maybe
there is no such thing as an autobiographic song in electronic dance
music but Valentino Kanzyani's 33 certainly comes as close as it gets.
Marking the artist’s 33rd birthday in 2008 – the ‘Christ’s years’ as
one would say in his home country of Slovenia – the record was intended
as a symbolic milestone in his highly successive career.
As an artist who loves being surrounded by a crowd in professional as
well as in personal life Kanzyani soon began organizing huge birthday
parties where he performed together with his friends. The sets were
readily released on promo records, which received a lot of attention.
Finally, Kanzyani & Tomy DeClerque took it a step further by
canalising the motivating atmosphere of their summer performance into a
full-fledged studio release. True to their unique grip, which manages
to break up the monotony of classic techno without thereby softening
its sharp edge, they expand their trade marked Mediterranean style of
highly danceable but yet tender electronic dance music. As a fine
example of Kanzyani’s & Tomy..s recent work, 33 builds up the
atmosphere slowly and gradually, carefully adding up drama to maintain
the listeners attention until it reaches its high peak in a series of
beautiful dominos-falling sound effects.
When a certain level of mastery is reached in electronic dance music
there can be no right or wrong manner of producing it: the thing is,
rather, to find one’s own way. And they have found it quite some time
ago and it keeps on taking them higher and higher!
All tracks written and produced by Tine Kocjancic and Tomislav Brkic.
