Demoscene
Groove, texture, and hybrid production have been part of my musical language from the beginning — moving between electronic music, jazz improvisation, remix culture, and cinematic atmosphere.
My relationship with production began through early computer music, tracker software, and the demoscene — shaping a lasting interest in sequencing, groove construction, and electronic sound design long before these worlds became integrated into contemporary jazz culture.

Groove, Remix & Club Influence
The Berlin / Tokyo Dawn Records period was where my groove-based thinking met a more club-oriented, production-focused world. During that time I created several remixes for the label, and Moonboy was featured on the TDR compilation The Move 3 — a piece I still consider a personal milestone.

Jazz & Electronic Hybrids
The Blue EP won the album of the month prize at Giant Step in 2012. Jazz harmony is textural and everything flows below and around the female voice.
A summer downtempo record
Halsütő
“Halsütő” is best translated to English as “Fish Grill” – it refers to the beachside, summer vibe of the album by the Csordás brothers Gyula and Gábor. Both of them are pianists at heart, Gábor has released modern jazz and electronic-funk in the past, and his brother Gyula is more known for his accordeon and koto skills.
The album has a strong Brazilian influence, mainly from the music of Marcos Valle, Azymuth, Deodato, and it fuses those summer moments with some meditative Koto playing, and a touch of chill-out electronica. The style lingers between funk, smooth jazz, Brazilian sounds and downtempo electronica.

“The colourful but coherent selection of nine tracks on the disc raises our heart rate invitingly to a rooftop party heated with the last rays of summer. From here we might teleport to a tropical beachside to get washed away by the waves of underwater funk, just to find ourselves in outer space expanding the limits of our subconscious.
The pianist inside Gábor is not getting cornered for a moment on this album, he takes the hand of his producer-self and guides him rowing through the more electronic music influenced waters. The album opens itself up: sparkling musical layers and impressions collected at various locations around the globe guide musical adventure seeking ears in traveling. 80’s boogie infused with African rhythms, science fiction funk piano improvisation, 70’s jungle groove, chilling balearic deep house, urban boogie-disco, tropical synth pop jet ski ride, playfully experimental modern jazz, or a cosmic funk groove – these are only some of the destinations that “Funkventure” offers us. Such a colourful composer and pianist Gábor is, so many faces he is showing us from the electronica infused synth jazz sound.
“My goal was to create something danceable, rhythmic, but without any constraint to be “fit” for modern dancefloors. I wanted to make music that is driven by rhythms, that is founded in funk, and where i’m in the center of the attention. The album summaries what I have learnt from electronic music, from jazz, funk and even from pop. I liked the title “Funkventure” because through this title i was able to put into shape what connects these tracks. On the album all the songs are really different from each other, but all of them have something to do with traveling. This is what connects them, if you listen to a track from the beginning to the end you feel like watching a movie or going through a travel. This music is adventure, that always drifts to a new, different style, and the compositions picture stories. It is very typical of me to write every track only once. So this is important that not two tracks on the album are similar even from a distance. But still, they are all on the same vibe, the same frequency. “ – explains Gábor. “
