Described as one of the most significant pieces of Croatian contemporary dance music, this is a deeply jazz-informed house album recorded by Croatian-French duo Jan Kinčl and Regis Kattie as their debut.
In Plain Sight almost invariably leans towards the organic and looser side of house music, and features two additional musicians - Zagreb bassist Luka Veselinović from the Veselino Jazz Project and Mirsad Dalipi, a Kosovo-born drummer and percussionist from the Gipsy Groove band. The record consists of 6 songs, 4 of which are studio pieces and 2 taken directly from live-show recordings.
