De-phazz
Pit Sounds
The importance of De-Phazz in electronic entertainment music since the turn of the millennium is undoubted. Anyone who has held a cocktail in a lounge in Berlin, Miami or Ibiza since 1997 knows the band from Heidelberg. Pit Baumgartner, creative head of De-Phazz, presents his magnum opus "Pit Sounds", which combines different sounds in an unconventional way. Baumgartner describes his working method as creatively mining a huge collection of sounds to find acoustic precious metal and bring it into a new context. Even though it is of course an expression of pure self-irony, the album certainly stands up to the tongue-in-cheek comparison with the Beach Boys classic "Pet Sounds". Cozy 60s choirs meet classy jazz guitar licks, syrupy retro strings à la Bert Kaempfert, singing cowboys, Latin American standard dances, multilingual language snippets and even football horns
