The sound of Vienna-based duo dZihan & Kamien (pronounced Jee-hahn and Kammy-en) can easily be compared with downtempo, soulful house sounds of Jazzanova, P’taah, or the Naked Music compilations. The duo hit popularity in 1996 with the single Der Bauch, which went big in european clubs and made appearances on several compilations. Their full-length album Freaks and Icons was released in late 2000.

Vlado dZihan is originally from Sarajevo and grew up in a predominantly musical household. As a drummer, dZihan became known in the local scene and recorded for the soundtrack of the film Arizona Dream, starring Johnny Depp and Faye Dunaway. He met his production partner, Mario Kamien, while studying in Vienna. Kamien, German born with both an Italian and Polish heritage, shared {dZihan's} interest of traditional music from the Near East, especially Turkey, and a love for Arabic strings. Combining their musical interests with their musical backgrounds, the two released Freaks and Icons on their label, Couch Records. The album focused on a down-tempo house sound, using samples from traditional Near East sources. It was proceeded by three EP’s, Tearroom 2004, [ B]efore fter, and Code: No Pork Please. The mix album Refreaked appeared a year later, followed by 2002’s Gran Riserva.

dzihan & Kamien run their own record label Couchrecords in Vienna.

I kinda wanted more dZihan & Kamien.... but I ended up getting Air. It's not that Music Matters is bad, it's just not what I was looking for.

Bring us some more Gran Riserva and Freaks&Icons style. I couldn't believe on the change they made with Music Matters. Let's wait for some improvements for a next one...

Streaming the new B-sides collection from their site... sounds more like DK than Music Matters. I hope they go back to their roots for the next release!

I agree, it's like they abandoned all of their previous influences and sounds that made their music unique. Gone are the Middle Eastern notes of Freaks and Icons and the jazzy riffs of Gran Riserva; now they're doing generic pop music. I mean, I do enjoy generic pop music, especially done competently, but it's not what I was hoping for from these guys.

Oh wow... I love their older releases but 'Music Matters' is a total let down for me. They're making pop music now???
