Description

In-demand Amsterdam-based duo Makez step into new ground with the release of their album 'Arriving Home Elsewhere', via ANOTR's No Art label. A kaleidoscopic project that moves between deep house, cosmic jazz, R&B, broken beat, and club-ready energy, the record is both a declaration of identity and a dissolution of boundaries - proof of the duo's rare ability to merge worlds without diluting or compromising their true essence.
Where most albums that span electronic realms lean on functionality, 'Arriving Home Elsewhere' reaches for something much more expansive. The project is a true hybrid: half shaped for the intimacy of a headphone listen, half designed for the electricity of the dancefloor, together forming a seamless continuum between reflection and release. Tracks like 'REARRANGE YOURSELF', 'BE REAL', and 'LOOKS LIKE IT (SPACE TALK)' are stripped to the core of house music's driving pulse, made for bigger systems and peak-time release. In contrast, 'Dreams', 'Fruits of the Universe' (with douniah), and 'Without The Sun' (with Oliver Night) explore lush, textured arrangements where live instrumentation and improvisation carry equal weight to rhythm and groove. Collaboration is at the heart of the album, with Makez inviting a constellation of voices who each expand the project's palette. Ben Westbeech, LIV East, and SANITY bring soulful intensity; 30/70 and dreamcastmoe connect Amsterdam to Melbourne and DC; Cor. Ece and Oliver Night weave delicate threads of emotion; Goya Gumbani and Javonntte guide the production with their vibey, groove-led performances; while Life on Planets reprises his role as a core creative partner, appearing across the album on tracks including the standout 'BE REAL' and the previously released 'ILLUSIONS' alongside rising Amsterdam talent AVA LAVA. Together, these contributions shape an album that feels less like a singular statement and more like a living, breathing ecosystem. For Makez, 'Arriving Home Elsewhere' is as much about philosophy as it is about music. The title encapsulates a tension central to their art: the feeling of belonging to multiple worlds without ever being confined to one. Jazz, house, soul, and experimental club sounds are not separate influences but parallel languages, and in merging them, the duo has created a record that mirrors the fluidity of contemporary identity and expression. And while it may speak in many voices, the LP tells one clear story - that of Makez, arriving, again and again, home elsewhere. Tracklisting: A1. Intro + Dreams (feat. LIV East) A2.
