The dynamic Dutch duo Offshore and Coen are back on Lazy Days after their 2020 Yearning release. The boys have been busy refining their deep and precise sound in their new studio as of late with releases on Freerange and Atjazz Record Company as well as Citizens Of Vice.

The EP opens up with Around Midnight, a lovely deep instrumental track, based around their much loved DX Solid Bass and a haunting piano sample, with plenty of live percussions.

Acquiescent Song follows with a dreamy breakbeat vibe, pads, plucky synths and spoken word. Hopeful and longing, this is one for the sunset/sunrise sets.

The title track Everything passes continues on that introspective vibe, reminding us to not stay attached to anything as everything passes. Once again, featuring their love of recording live instruments, in this case Maarten (Coen)’s voice as a choir.

Indian Summer drives the EP home with its driving rim shot beat, pads and arpegios aplenty with the same message about not getting caught up in our past and do our present dance.

Closing things off, we’re very happy to have our own Matt Masters on remix duty for Everything Passes. Matt’s been on fire as of late with his collaboration with Milton Jackon and solo EPs on Lazy Days, releases on Freerange and forthcoming remix for Chez Damier. He even finds time to do the monthly Freerange show and welcome a new baby girl to the Masters family (congartulations!). Matt’s remix re-interprets the song and takes it on a whole other level with a beautiful chord progression in the middle and plenty of synth madness.
