DE-PHAZZ: Death By Chocolate (Reissue Remastered 25 Years Anniversary) 2LP

First of all, “ Death By Chocolate ” captivates with its sophisticated and unique sound, which skillfully blends lounge, nu-jazz, trip-hop and downtempo elements. On the other hand, the album is not limited to just electronic aesthetics – it also features lively jazz instrumentation, soul-inspired vocals and subtle shades of Latin American rhythms. As a result, the music sounds both retro and surprisingly modern, creating an atmosphere reminiscent of a movie.

It's also an album that works equally well as background music or as a conscious listening experience. Calm, sliding rhythms, playful samples and warm harmonic layers create a sense of relaxation, while maintaining musical depth. It's no coincidence that De-Phazz is often compared to names like St Germain or Gotan Project , although their sound remains distinctive and easily recognizable.

Since its release, " Death By Chocolate " has been considered a classic of the band. Tracks such as " Heartfixer ", the title track " Death By Chocolate ", " Sabbatical ", " Jeunesse Dorée " or " Trash Box " have become favorites among listeners and perfectly reflect the stylistic diversity of the album. Therefore, it is one of those rare releases that you want to listen to from beginning to end, without missing a single track.

The visuals are no less important. The stylish, three-color retro design has become iconic and perfectly complements the album's aesthetic. Finally, to celebrate its 25th anniversary, " Death By Chocolate " returns as a remastered limited edition 2LP edition with a luxurious gatefold cover. This reissue not only improves the sound quality, but also adds collector's value, making it a great choice for both long-time De-Phazz fans and those just discovering the world of lounge and nu-jazz.
