- Riding a line between house, jazz, acid and techno...a live act unit based in Zagreb Croatia.Jan and Regis are a deep house/jazz duo and a live act unit based in Zagreb Croatia. For well over 15 years Jan’s been a regular fixture on the regional music scene through his activity as techno/house DJ, producer, live act performer, radio broadcaster, label owner and a party organizer. Basically, if you scratch the surface of electronic music in Croatia, it’s hard to come across something Jan hasn’t been involved with. Regis had a somewhat different path. Born in Northern France, in the city of Amiens, he began dabbling with musical instruments at the early age of four and some years later started taking classical piano lessons. It didn’t take long before he developed a soft spot for a more open approach in playing which inevitably led to jazz piano in his early twenties, a discipline he’s been committed to ever since. After spending some time in Canada, Regis moved to Zagreb in 2010, where he soon became an integral part of the local jazz scene. Jan and Regis met during 2016, and the fact they’re both coming from different geographical and musical backgrounds makes the line where they connect that much more interesting. When combined, their roots become an eclectic amalgam of genres - ranging from house, to jazz, acid, Detroit techno and classical music; paired with improvisational nature of their live shows this is what makes it possible to ride that fine line so well. In May 2018 their debut, the collaborative album “In Plain Sight” got released for PDV Records - a staple of regional alternative music. It is a very jazz-informed deep house record through which they tried to explore the combination of genres they’re influenced by, and put their own spin on it. The music throughout the album almost invariably leans towards organic and looser side of house music, and features two additional musicians - Zagreb bassist Luka Veselinović from the Veselino Jazz Project and Mirsad Dalipi, a Kosovo-born drummer and percussionist from Gipsy Groove band. The record consists of 6 songs, 4 of which are studio pieces, 2 are taken directly from live show recordings. The album has been getting immense support from all over the world and from the likes of Laurent Garnier, Volcov, Alex Barck (Jazzanova), Claude Young, Rainer Trueby, DJ Nobu, Tony Humphries, Marcel Vogel, Kai Alcé, Lefto and many others, which just confirms Jan and Regis are onto something good.̸Ivan 'Mamão' Conti - Katmandu [Far Out Recordings 2020] CVER - Feeling U, Feeling Me (Jan Kinčl Versions) [Oye Black Label 2020] Jan Kinčl & Regis Kattie - Two Sides Of Blue Funk / Deux Côtés De Funk Bleu EP” [PDV Records 2019] Jan Kinčl & Regis Kattie - “In Plain Sight LP” [PDV Records 2018] Jan Kinčl & Regis Kattie - “Florette Versions” [PDV Records 2018] Jan Kinčl & Borut Cvajner - “Grind” - Muscae Volitantes VA [Titzero 2016]
