SIMPLIFY is radiOzora's brand new 'spoken word' series hosted by BLAZE about breaking down unnecessary structures and patterns in our minds.

Tune in on 8 October 2014 Wednesday 6pm CET on the Chill channel. After the live stream the interview will be available on radiOzora's Soundcloud channel. Stay tuned!
“At times, an interviewer has to step put from the shadows and let subjectivity take over the sacred requirement of objectivity. Crowded House was the only music in my life where someone came up to me and said: “I think you would like CH”. The next day I went and listened to it and bought their Best of album straight away. Though my musical tastes have widened and evolved since, I find that the impact of CH at its best has not lessened they remain my favourite band. So when I heard that Youth (aka Martin Glover) the producer of Together Alone is playing at O.Z.O.R.A., I jumped at the chance.” — “Nobody Does It Like O.Z.O.R.A.” by Blaze, in The Ozorian Prophet, 21 August, 2014.
The infamous Youth (Martin Glover) has achieved near mythical and a somewhat legendary status as record producer over the years. Production and remix credits include U2 ,Guns and Roses and Paul McCartney including The Verve’s classic ” Bitter sweet symphony”.
As well as pioneering dance music with the legendary Dragonfly recordings in 1993, the original psy-trance and dub mothership based around the infamous Butterfly studios in Brixton South London. This was where Simon Posford, Ott and many more musical illumini were to be mentored as they refined their skills as successive in-house engineers.
Youth’s tastes as a DJ are to be heard to be believed. He has more classics, more gems and more hidden goodies than anyone else. His set in Ozora last year turned the chillout into a 3000 person full power rave up for 5 hours! .
