Doppelschall Records follow up Dollkrauts “Loot” with another jewel from the Netherlands.
This time it’s the stunning debut EP of Rob Rolefes, who calls himself “Boze Man” and
creates music one could outline as cinematic jazz techno.
It can be said that the eastern part of the Netherlands is not really inspiring for the alternative music producer or DJ.
But growing up here, eventually encouraged Rob Rolefes to turn that into an asset.
With residencies in clubs that he would rather burn to the ground, Rob found a good way of earning money to invest into a studio.
So while DJ-ing was mainly a crowdpleasing business with the effort to play as much true music the crowd would accept,
the need to make something credible and exciting was fed by his musically immature crowds.
There just had to be some compensation. The ignorance of these crowds could only be taken as something inspiring as well.
With this, Rob had his testlab full of faithful guinea pigs to test relations between tones, moods and individual tracks.
Rob takes time to get his Boze Man tracks right. He believes that it’s best to make music from a listener’s point of view.
A good song is merely the result of a chain of good and personal decisions.
The best parts of a song are accidents which only a good listener can anticipate.
For his debut EP, Boze Man (translation: evil man) has asked German acoustic techno trio Brandt Brauer Frick
to do a cover version of the title track „Joe & Tina“.
