Following a debut EP praised for its freshness and boldness, S-Pazz returns with Birth of
Light, a second release that fully confirms the potential of the Parisian duo. Blending elements
of house, jazz, broken beat, and ambient, the record sees them refine their musical identity
with a more intimate and introspective approach, yet always deeply rhythmic and luminous.
Composed four-hands during a moment of personal transition, the EP feels like a rite of
passage where music becomes a space of unity, resilience, and imagination.

“This EP reflects a major transition in our lives, as it was written during Nathan’s move out of the
shared flat where we also had our studio. Despite the change, we managed to preserve the unique
creative world that defines the identity of S-Pazz. We deliberately infused it with a wide range of
influences, spanning different eras and cultures. ‘Birth of Light’ builds on the foundations laid with our
first EP: crafting music at the crossroads of our respective influences, always driven by our love for
cinematic soundscapes.” S-Pazz

The opening track, “Ce Matin-Là”, unfolds with a dreamlike atmosphere, led by lush string
arrangements from Nathan’s father, a double bassist already sampled on their first EP. “We wanted to
get closer to those tracks that bridge electronic and orchestral music, like what 4Hero, Bonobo, or
even Air have done,” explains S-Pazz. The track also gets a reinterpretation from Tour-Maubourg,
who delivers a deep house remix tinged with bossa nova, infusing the piece with a warm, summery,
and organic tone that extends the EP’s globe-trotting spirit.
With “Together”, the Parisian duo pays tribute to the UK broken beat scene through a syncopated
and generous track where analog synths and live grooves coexist with subtle balance. “We wrote it in
Instagram | Youtube | TikTok | SoundCloudthe summer of 2024. It combines a lot of sampling and a growing passion for synths we’ve developed
over time. For the percussion, we drew a lot of inspiration from producers like Da Lata, 4hero, and
Chaos in the CBD.”

“My Heart” captures the EP’s dancefloor soul, a hybrid of broken beat, jazz, and funk. Warm brass,
Prophet 5 bass doubled with a Rhodes, and a breathy vocal that bridges groove and emotion. “It’s a
blend of jazz, dub, and funk. Club music that speaks to the body as much as to the heart.”
The fruit of a year-long process, “Bees Die After Stinging” brings together afro-influenced 6/8
rhythms, field recordings of beehives, and finely crafted jazz arrangements. The illusion of a live band
is meticulously constructed in-studio. “We’re especially proud of this track, it really captures the
meeting point between our two musical worlds.”

The closing track, “Ocean Reflections”, deliberately breaks away from classic house structure,
embracing a freer, more ambient form. It brings the EP to a contemplative and fluid end. “We wanted
to close the EP with something special, no four-on-the-floor kick, but a preserved groove that invites
introspection. We invited our friend Claire Grunenberger to sing, and Grégoire added a jazz solo as a
tribute to the early days of St Germain.”

S-Pazz is a project formed by Nathan and Grégoire, close friends and creative partners both on and
off stage. Their music reflects a rare intersection of jazz, house, broken beat, and narrative-driven
electronic music, shaped by their distinct backgrounds: Grégoire is a jazz-trained multi-instrumentalist,
while Nathan is a DJ and beatmaker influenced by hip-hop and raised in a family of musicians. Their
debut EP Tales of Dancing Waters (2024) quickly caught the attention of listeners and curators alike,
racking up hundreds of thousands of streams and landing on playlists alongside artists like Berlioz,
Barry Can’t Swim, Dublon, and Tour-Maubourg. Now, with Birth of Light, the duo takes a major step
forward in their evolution, laying the foundation for a deeply personal, immersive, and resolutely
luminous musical language.

About:
The highly anticipated collaborative album, GOLDFISH, sees two of contemporary hip-hop's most revered and distinct production minds, Hit-Boy and The Alchemist, finally join forces for a full-length statement. Far from a simple beat-swap, this project is a masterclass in sonic cohesion, blurring the lines between their signature sounds to forge a new, golden-hued identity. Beyond production, the duo step from behind the boards to behind the mic to trade verses throughout the project, adding a personal layer to their creative vision.

GOLDFISH is a deeply immersive listen, perfectly balancing the West Coast muscle and polished, anthemic quality of Hit-Boy's work with the dusty, abstract texture and cinematic suspense that defines The Alchemist's aesthetic.

The result is a sound that feels both street-tested and museum-worthy. A collaborative manifesto, showcasing the infinite possibilities when two generational talents decide to link up, creating an instant classic in the canon of producer/MC albums.
