GAPS by RZWD

The core idea behind GAPS was to use developed themes as a starting point for further variations and exploration within DANCE NOISE CLUB MUSIC.

This time, the instrumentation includes bass guitar and an ever-expanding, mutating layer of modulation. Therefore, the album features four brand new compositions alongside four remixes of tracks from previous albums.

The album also features guest appearances by: DANIELIUS PANCEROVAS from the Lithuanian band KANALIZACJIA, adding a saxophone touch to the track DIESEL, and KRZYSZTOF FREEZE OSTROWSKI - a renowned Polish electronic musician and producer, bringing a new sonic perspective to EURO TRACK from the DMO EP.

Among the multidimensional concepts blending environments, genres, styles, and techniques found on GAPS, the pursuit of synthesizing acoustic and electronic sounds stands out. RZWD creates a space where the boundaries between these domains blur and lose their significance.

The result is a groove-driven and noisy mix of dance music styles such as RAVE, TECHNO, HOUSE, and FOOTWORK, played beyond rigid tempo measurements and DAW limitations, relying on natural skills and intuition. It’s a soundtrack that works best as a backdrop to movement, whether coordinated or not.

"Rozwód, a band based on the outskirts of Poland’s metropolises Wrocław and Toruń, create music that sounds recycled, juxtaposing elements of the rock tradition with electronics recalling the likes of My Disco or Radian. Trance motifs, monotonous ambient passages, and sonic interventions in the background are balanced by a dense ‘rock’ sound albeit one achieved with a set of instruments unusual for the genre".
Jakub Knera, (The Quietus)

"File under: uncategorizable! Love this kind of genre-defying sound. Wouldn't know where to place them in the musical landscape but the mix of synchopated beats from the live drums combined with abstract synthesizer parts is stunning."
Dirk Markham (Digital in Berlin)

"Twisted, unrelenting, cinematic and groovy, GAPS by RZWD keeps you on your toes with top notch musicianship, total disregard for genres and forward thinking production."
Ilia Gorovitz (Edelfaul Records)
