Episode 133: JAN KINCL CYCLE RECORDS

Hello Decisive Series Subscribers,Roberto Ingram your podcast host and producer here, I'm thrilled to bring you yet another insightful conversation with a remarkable artist shaping the landscape of electronic music. Today, we have the privilege of delving into the world of Jan Kincl, a Croatian DJ, record producer, remixer, engineer, and live performer whose work has captured the attention and admiration of audiences worldwide. International media placed Jan among "the most interesting voices coming from the region", and his debut album, a deeply jazz-informed house record "In Plain Sight" recorded with a French keyboard player Regis Kattie, got described as “one of the most significant pieces of regional contemporary dance music” with support from Laurent Garnier, Derrick Carter, Alton Miller, Jazzanova, Volcov, Tony Humphries, Lefto, Claude Young, Jimpster, DJ Bone, Mark Grusane, Kai Alcé and many more.“An amazingly beautiful album! Very deep.” - Claude Young“The funk's all over this project!” - Kai Alcé“Superb deepness!” - Laurent GarnierBorn and raised in Zagreb, Jan is a product of the late 90s clubbing scene emerging in Croatia. A then-teenager, who embraced the music of the Motor City as a teacher has grown into a recognizable presence in the regional music life. Today, Jan is equally recognized for the music crafted in his Cycle studio, and life-long dedication to the art of DJing. Influenced equally by jazz and hi-tech jazz, he is devoted to a more traditional way of presenting music and feels more aligned with artists not limited by genres or eras. New, old, fast, slow, soulful, or rough. For Jan, the juxtaposition of all this is what DJing is about.Even though the majority of his work is dance music, this broad approach allowed him to operate in different scenes. Remix for a Brazilian legend Ivan Mamão Conti (Azymuth) on the legendary Far Out Recordings, remixes for a German jazz-funk band Key Elements on Jazzanova’s Sonar Kollektiv label, a solo 12” under CVER alias on Oye Black Label, and a track on Deep Inspiration Show Records’ ‘Family Things Volume 1’ all came out in a period of a single year. The last project to hit 2020, though, were reinterpretations of Radojka Sverko’s ‘Kud Plovi Ovaj Brod’, a special 50th-anniversary re-release of a 1970 chanson classic which holds a unique place in Croatian music folklore.In 2021, Jan is continuing the string of releases for BBE Records, PDV Records, Get Physical, and Deep Inspiration Show Records. On top of that, a debut record from Cycle Records, his recently launched label, is coming out. Titled "For A Minute", a 12" features two of Jan's original versions, and two remixes from a Chicago house legend Gene Hunt.In parallel with working on his own music, Jan's had a decade-long run lecturing on the subject of ‘History of Electronic Music’ at the Music & Sound department of United Pop Academy, still ongoing, and is running CYCLE - a studio, and music production company based in Zagreb.Contact us here to book Jan for a DJ show, live performance, or lecture/workshopJoin us next time for another episode of the Decisive podcast series, where we'll continue to explore the stories and sounds shaping the world of music today. Until then, stay tuned and stay inspired."

This is your dedicated host, Roberto Ingram, extending heartfelt wishes for a fantastic New Year 2024 to all of you. Over the years, I've been privileged to serve as a platform for electronic creatives, including DJs. Throughout this journey, it has become abundantly clear that my mission for Decisive extends beyond mere entertainment – it's about curating exceptional content with the singular aim of satisfying open-minded individuals and communities that value and appreciate the diverse tapestry of creative artists connected to the world of music.As we step into 2024, a wind of change is blowing, propelling us toward new horizons. One of the primary objectives for this year is to delve deep into scouting and showcasing emerging talents. Today marks an exciting chapter as we welcome a live band that has been a part of my musical journey for over a decade. Their ability to deliver electrifying performances, whether on intimate stages, grand venues, or even arenas, is nothing short of extraordinary.This band has mastered the art of infusing soul, funk, R&B, and hip-hop into a spiritual and uplifting experience that captivates audiences, keeping the dance floor alive and echoing with joyous melodies. It is with great pleasure that I introduce to you our esteemed guests for the Decisive Podcast Live Entertainment Series – none other than the phenomenal Absence Of Color (AOC).Prepare yourselves for an unforgettable musical journey as we dive into the soulful sounds of AOC. Stay tuned for an episode filled with rhythm, energy, and a celebration of the boundless creativity that defines Decisive.About Absence of Color Fronted by the Jackson twins, Scharod "Danger" and Scharodrick "Preach" as well as Terrence "T.Murf aka D.R." Murphy, the AOC sound is at once contemporary and reminiscent of their musical roots. The Jackson twins bring to the table a strong tradition of gospel music foundations with deep, strong voices honed over many years of performing in church. T.Murf, grounded in gospel traditions as well, provides smooth soul vocals along with the best of contemporary pop and Hip Hop. Meanwhile, Pfun Pfun delivers consistent rhythm guitar, lead and backing vocal support, and stunning Hendrix-like solos, and Nate "Almighty" Johnson serves as the group's musical foundation, holding it all together on keyboards and vocals. The group’s live touring unit also includes Eddie Allen Jr. on bass, and Micah Johnston on drums. Formed in Atlanta, Georgia, AOC's musical career has evolved into a global sound from several years of touring in Europe and Asia. Performing in night clubs, crooning other artist's songs night after night was an "eye-opening and beneficial experience" for the group. Since their first stint in Japan in 1992, AOC has continued to take advantage of their continuous travel opportunities by building a loyal fan base in these countries. 25 years on the road has also given them the chance to hone their live performance skills. "It is very important to perform as often as possible," says T.Murf. "There are alot of artists out there that don't have enough performance experience or are not comfortable on stage." The experience has clearly paid off, as the group easily effuses a comfortable rapport with audiences. AOC's performances include high-energy dance routines, which are further electrifying "We don't have to communicate and we end up doing the same thing." True to their name, they don't plan to limit themselves to any one style. "We've been doing this for so long and have traveled so many places," says Danger. Our goal is to translate those experiences in our music, which we hope will be something unique that the whole world can share." Instagram AOC - https://www.instagram.com/aoc_4_life?igsh=OGZ1ZXgxb2RvcnNnYoutube AOC - https://shorturl.at/AMWZ2

Now, a resident at "Club Rote Sonne," Kareem's DJ sets weave tales that transcend boundaries, effortlessly blending genres and playing with the ebb and flow of sound.Despite his modest demeanor, Kareem's musical journey reached a crescendo with releases on Ilian Tape and RFR in 2018, followed by a solo EP on Molten Moods in 2020.

He sees himself as a musical vibe provider, steering away from the notion of education and aiming only for the shared joy of music.Operating with four decks, Kareem is a tech enthusiast, delving into gear and techniques with relentless curiosity. Yet, he remains a maestro of restraint, allowing tracks the space to breathe while utilizing his technical prowess for seamless transitions and a constant flow.Kareem's commitment to music extends beyond a hobby; it is a meditative refuge and an intrinsic part of survival, a testament to an enduring passion.
