Losean by JO BISSA x KAN

Dutch music producer JO BISSA and Mauritian artist KAN have embarked on a captivating sonic journey with their full-length album, “Losean." Four years in the making, “Losean" emerges as a musical testament to the power of collaboration, crossing continents and cultures to unite two visionary artists whose shared passion for environmental awareness and artistry knows no bounds. Drawing from their diverse backgrounds, JO BISSA and KAN have sculpted a collection of tracks that dive deep into the heart of the ocean's mysteries and the urgent need to protect it.

Rooted in the Mauritian cultural landscape and inspired by the troubling reality of pollution in the region's waters, "Losean" serves as both a plea and a celebration. The album's title, derived from the Mauritian Creole word for 'ocean’, encapsulates its essence: an expanse of musical waves that mirror the vastness and vitality of the sea KAN. His mastery as a multi-instrumentalist seamlessly blends with JO BISSA's innovative downtempo beats. The result is a hypnotic fusion that resonates with the rhythms of Mauritian Sega, a tribute to the cultural roots that ground this musical endeavor, mirroring the different backgrounds of the two artists behind this project.

As an ode to the sea's majesty, "Losean" extends beyond the auditory experience. Each track is a chapter in an ecological narrative, a call to action, and an invitation to immerse oneself in the heart of the natural world. KAN's 'Trash to Music' project, born from his dedication to confronting pollution through art, is echoed in the album's melodic exploration. From the depths of the ocean's soul to the distant shores of electronic innovation, this album becomes a vehicle for change. The remarkable synergy between JO BISSA and KAN remains an anomaly. Although they've never met face-to-face, their music bridges the physical and emotional gaps, a testament to the unifying power of art and shared purpose. "Losean" is a testament to their profound connection, a connection that transcends boundaries and speaks directly to the heart.

Co founder of the label, INI Movement and part of the international duo UMOJA, who played the last 4 years all across Europe and Africa doing shows and recording music.

JO BISSA moves trough a wide range of flavours during his sets going from eclectic house to vibrant exotic rhythms, funk always in favour of the dance floor.
