In Part Time Chaos Part Time Calmness, Kito Jempere steps out from the house music stage he’s known for to embrace a more intimate, genre-crossing sound. Known for his work in dance music, Kito’s newest album ventures into downtempo pop and showcases his evolution as both a musician and family man. This album is what he describes as “the soundtrack for a movie I’ve never made,” an introspective and cinematic exploration of the dualities in his life.
Rooted in nostalgia, Part Time Chaos Part Time Calmness brings Kito back to basics with his guitar, setting the foundation for tracks like “Killer Line” and “Love Myself But I Can’t Make It Love.” The album also features collaborations with artists such as Jimi Tenor and Adam Evald, whose contributions enhance Kito’s genre-blending approach. The result is an album that combines his club-driven past with a newfound emotional depth.
Opening with the folk-inspired “Killer Line,” the album flows seamlessly into the eclectic flamenco-jazz of “Before Music Dies” and the 80s-infused “Sounds of Love.” Through tracks like “Footsteps” and “In The Countryside,” Kito weaves references to pop culture, lending a playful, cinematic element to the album’s storytelling.
The album explores a wide spectrum of styles and emotions, from the powerful synths in “Absent Ascent” to the gentle tranquility of “Shorespotting” and “Lovers.” Each song is a chapter in Kito’s journey of growth and freedom, embracing both nostalgia and progression.
Part Time Chaos Part Time Calmness captures Kito Jempere’s evolution with a genre-blending vision, offering a soundtrack for life’s complex, contrasting moments.
