Kosh – “Lost In Change” (Syncrophone) [May 9, 2025]

With Lost in Change, Kosh delivers a bold, introspective dive into sonic evolution and emotional complexity. Known for his finely tuned blend of techno, electro, and breaks, the Moroccan producer pushes his palette further on this latest EP, blurring the lines between nostalgia and futurism.

The opening track sets the tone with warm analog synths layered over skittering percussion. There’s a subtle melancholy woven into the pads, hinting at the “change” referenced in the title for a theme that echoes throughout the project. As the EP unfolds, Kosh navigates between weightless, dreamy textures and sharply defined grooves, creating a sense of movement that feels both internal and kinetic.

Standout moments include the title track, which pairs broken beats with a restless bassline, evoking a feeling of drifting through unfamiliar emotional terrain. Meanwhile, “No Exit” leans into electro territory, with crisp drum programming and eerie melodic fragments that give the track a sense of digital dislocation. It’s danceable, yes, but it also invites quiet contemplation. “Whiplash” provides minimal drums, haunting synth cords and a relentless, driving bassline.

What makes Lost in Change especially compelling is its restraint. Kosh resists the temptation to go for peak-time anthems, instead curating a cohesive listening experience that rewards patience and close attention. Each track feels like a chapter, building a narrative of transformation, loss, and resilience.

Overall, Lost in Change is not just a collection of tracks; it’s a statement. It’s Kosh in transition, embracing complexity without losing his signature clarity. Fans of deep, intelligent electronic music will find much to love here. This EP marks a new chapter for Kosh, and if this is the direction he’s heading, the future looks promising indeed.
