Makèz is a music duo whose work embodies multiple layers, inviting listeners to delve deeper than surface-level expectations. Drawing inspiration from genre-defying artists like Slum Village, Masters at Work, Moodymann, and Theo Parrish, they create music that celebrates nuance and connection. Their journey began in high school, united by a shared passion for house music. Over the past 15 years, they have cultivated a sound that blends underground club grooves with melodies that resonate beyond the dance floor, incorporating elements of hip hop, jazz, and disco. This fusion results in electronic music that feels both familiar and fresh, bridging nostalgic rhythms with contemporary production. After relocating to Amsterdam, Makèz fully embraced the city’s vibrant nightlife, transforming their youthful curiosity into a professional endeavor that has captivated audiences worldwide. Their collaborative dynamic is marked by a near-telepathic connection, where their differences enhance their creative expression rather than hinder it. With a discography featuring releases on notable labels such as Heist, No Art, Balance Recordings, and Classic Music Company, 2023 was a pivotal year for Makèz, highlighted by their international breakthrough track "Downstream ft. Life On Planets," which became one of the summer's most sought-after IDs.
