Vinyl - https://lengrecords.bandcamp.com/album/last-night-in-sant-celoni-incl-in-flagranti-remix

With summer finally making its presence felt, Payfone makes its Leng Records debut with a simmering, sunset-ready sizzler that oozes drowsy heat from start to finish. It’s a slow-burn dancefloor beauty all right, but we expect nothing less from Anglo Italian Phil Passera and his growing band of musical collaborators.

Since making their debut with the brilliant “International Smark” back in 2013, Payfone has delivered a swathe of superb singles which cannily combine elements of boogie, disco, NYC proto-house, acid house and Balearica in uniquely alluring ways. Passera has a reputation for using no samples in his creations, instead favouring live instrumentation, classic electronic hardware and ear-catching vocals.
 
Since we last heard from Payfone, Passera has moved his studio from his East London warehouse to a wooden shack in Sant Celoni, a sleepy Catalonian town near Barcelona nestled in the foothills of the Montseny and Montnegre mountain ranges. The inspiration of his new surroundings is clear on this warm, groovy and undeniably picturesque composition.

“Last Night In San Celoni” is a  love letter from two girls meeting and falling in love amidst the tumbling streets and dramatic views of this little-known town just a few miles up the Mediterranean coast from Barcelona.

Featuring the innocent, under stated singing of Los Angeles’ based Jaz James and the seductive Spanish speech of Beunos Aries-based Lumdilla Rodriguez, the duo narrates a romantic, bilingual love story that will melt your heart. Incidentally, it could well be the first (partly) English-language song dedicated to Sant Celoni, but don’t quote us on that.
 
Musically, Payfone is in fine form on “Last Night in San Celoni” where Phil Passera offers up a warm and humid chunk of soft-touch dancefloor bliss underpinned by a combination of vintage analogue drum machine, 1980s style slap bass, rich electric piano motifs, and casually brilliant jazz guitar flourishes provided by regular Payfone guitarist Royce Wood Junior.
 
This result of years of collaborative work  (this song began as a keyboard riff written in a New York studio in the heatwave of 2014), the track’s sumptuous groove seems to gently tug at the senses like the lapping waves on a Baleric Mediterranean beach at Sunset.

The original mix comes accompanied by a more up-beat interpretation by Swiss stalwarts In Flagranti. Opting to fatten the groove whilst dubbing out many of the assembled musical elements, the experienced duo brilliantly wraps lo-fi synthesizer lead lines and 1980s package holiday pop flourishes around a chugging, low-slung groove that will have even the laziest dancers skipping towards the dancefloor.

For this new release we asked Bosq to explain a bit more about the project behind it: It feels kind of poetic that this record, the first one I started fresh when me and my wife moved to Colombia, happened to drop exactly 3 years to the day that we first arrived here with a few suitcases and two duffle bags filled with music gear. It certainly wasn’t the plan to wait three entire years to start releasing projects in our new home, but at the same time I really didn’t want to rush it. Working with teachers and musicians here directly has helped me so much in terms of understanding local rhythms and styles but there is also a certain amount of ambient absorption that happens with music just like it does with language, and a lot of that cannot be rushed! There is also the relationships and connections you build with collaborators that really can’t be forced, and to me you can hear the difference between a one off session with someone you sent the files to online vs. people you work with continuously and spend time with... 
I met the crew from La Bogota Orquesta Afrobeat after seeing them live here in Medellín and we clicked right away because they all have great taste in music and are good people too. I went to Bogota with the Rumbero instrumental basically as it is now but without horns (have to shout out Max Perez Coymat for his guitar work on that, he has a great understanding of Disco & Funk styles which is harder to find here than in the US) and Beto who laid down the Djembe including that wicked solo in the middle. 
We recorded horns on I think 4 tracks that day in their studio, Mambo Negro Records and I’ve been back a bunch of times since as well. They are also the ones who put me in touch with Nidia. 
Something that I really respected about Nidia is that she wanted to meet up and talk about the project before agreeing to work on it, we talked about music and the track but much more so about politics and human rights. I was nervous and still embarrassed about my Spanish but it was clear we saw eye to eye on things and Rumbero was born! 
Corazon was a lot more of a solitary effort in terms of the music since I played everything, but it was really dope to work with Camilo again after having remixed a track for Mr Pauer featuring his vocals a few years back. I love that his style falls somewhere between an MC, classic roots reggae, dancehall, and even salsero at times. He’s super dynamic and writes really well too. I want to include what he wrote about his lyrics as well (especially helpful if you don’t speak Spanish) “This lyric focuses on keeping love in your heart and staying connected with nature and its many teachings. We are part of nature as it is within us and all around us. The bomba rhythm really transported me to my childhood home town of Utuado, Puerto Rico where I was surrounded by nature. Love is when you can nurture yourself and connect with your source which is our amazing planet. From there everything manifests the way it should. Keep love in your heart and you will see!”
