Info for Rebirth

Jazz must trigger ecstasy, if Arno Grußendorf and Jakob Seeber from Die Therapie have their way. Too often it is considered undanceable, academic, elitist: their song "Renaissance" speaks of a "dark age". So the guitarist and the drummer replace blinkers with innovation. Jazz with stomping beats and gloomy synth sounds that reek of underground house and drive ravenous party addicts into a frenzy of movement. Therapy aims to whip the genre out of the darkness and into the light of the dance floors with a 1000 volt blast.

What began with Bach and De la Soul is now an amalgam of influences: A curiosity and boundlessness that feels connected to the London scene around Tom Misch or Yussef Dayes. As Die Therapie, Arno and Jakob mix street dirt with indulgent hedonism. Whipping breakbeats meet billowing synth rhythms, glistening guitar figures swing through songs like "Level" or tear distorted holes in the melodies of "False Flakes". Frenzied solos combine with the menacing sounds of gloomy electro-club and casual hip-hop beats. The massive, pompous sound serves a single purpose: to electrify the audience.

Because when "Renaissance" says "I learned jazz dancing. It's time for a renaissance!", that's the program: Therapy disposes of the cliché of a music genre for the initiated. Sexy, cool and gritty, the songs are meant to transmit their kinetic energy to the audience. And end the dark age of jazz.
