Cazeaux O.S.L.O brings his lyrical genius to this hard-hitting collaboration with renowned Australian drummer Alexander Flood in this fiery dancefloor heater. O.S.L.O’s slick words bounce effortlessly around Flood’s 4-to-the-floor rhythm as the arrangement evolves and intensifies into an all-in house cut. Erica Tucceri shines through with a recurring syncopated flute riff reminiscent of St. Germain’s “So Flute”, with Dylan Paul and Finn Rees holding down the bassline and chords.

LIFE IS A RHYTHM also features flowing rhythmic layers from Brazilian percussionist Aduni on congas and Cuban percussionist Alexander Scull Castillo on bata, recorded in Berlin’s infamous Red Bull Studios.
