DJ Koze, Unbelievable review
DJ Koze, born Stefan Kozalla, is a distinguished German DJ and producer, recognized for his distinctive approach to electronic music. Born in Marrakech, he has carved out a reputation for blending psychedelic influences with unconventional sounds, creating a style that stands apart from current trends. Koze’s music consistently defies genre boundaries, offering listeners a unique auditory experience.
His latest single, “Unbelievable”, featuring Ada, is his upcoming album Music Can Hear Us (due for release on April 4, 2025). The track is a haunting, dream-scape of broken toys and bass that eludes traditional structures, combining elements of beauty and discomfort. This collaboration between Koze and Ada creates an ethereal atmosphere where comprehension is suspended, and the line between the familiar and the uncanny is blurred. Ada’s jazzy voice adds a layer of depth to the track, imbuing it with a sense of otherworldliness. In “Unbelievable”, DJ Koze once again demonstrates his ability to craft music that is both forward-thinking and deeply emotive.
Using music to treat Alzheimer’s
Music therapy is happening in laboratories around the world. In this enlightening study, researchers employed functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to delve deep into the intricate workings of the brain. They identified a distributed network involving several key brain structures that exhibited activity levels fluctuating in similar patterns among all participants as they listened to classical music compositions that were entirely new to them. This remarkable synchronization suggests not only a universal aspect of musical appreciation but also hints at deeper cognitive and emotional connections forged through shared auditory experiences.
The compelling results of this study were published online in the European Journal of Neuroscience, further enriching our understanding of how music can resonate within us all, creating bonds and fostering social interactions across diverse audiences.
