Although relatively unknown, his first album *Lonely Happiness* received strong support from Theo Parrish, Norm Talley and Luke Hess amongst others. Combining analogue synths and drum-machines with acoustic elements and samples from old records, the trained sound engineer is a rigorous technician aiming to create sophisticated deep house atmospheres. Hold Youth provide a breeding ground for open-minded and innovative music, and Zalas Second Life EP ticks all the right boxes. Exploring sounds from a broad spectrum, *Ms Blue* is the moody opener that creates a melange of raw minimal jazz, while the B side continues in this vein with more of an obvious off-key German micro house influence. *Considered Done* references the late Herbie Hancock, sampling his voice over a flowing piano melody and punchy bass line, while *Tribute to Willy Simon* goes all out funky, full of brass, with a classic Hip Hop swagger.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/t12W4RFmQKo?si=Uz6rxk21DUqetSo3\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e","brand":"Decks","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":61903612051786,"sku":"2532","price":13.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0836\/8187\/0154\/files\/cc_front_88e9e8cd-6582-4008-a109-6a8961ceddc8.jpg?v=1779545630","url":"https:\/\/chippychasers-recordstore.com\/products\/damien-zala-second-life-ep","provider":"Chippy Chasers Record Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
