Lui Mafuta presents This Ain’t Jazz, a boundary-pushing new EP that fuses live musicianship
with electronic sensibility - an exploration of jazz influence through a deeply personal and
collaborative lens. 

The release is available on digital platforms and as a limited vinyl edition.

At the heart of This ain’t Jazz is a long gestating idea: to bridge electronic music with an
organic, band oriented aesthetic. Lui Mafuta reunited with four longtime friends and
collaborators: Paul Janoschka, Felix Roos, Jonas Esser and Benedikt Jäckle - who all studied
music together in Mannheim before scattering across the globe. Under the loose collective
named Weiller, they came together once again to create a sound that lives between genres.

The EP is a globe spanning production. Piano was recorded on Paul Janoschka’s Steinway in
his Frankfurt apartment; trumpet and clarinet were tracked in a rural French studio with Felix
Roos; drums came from New York via Jonas Esser; and saxophone was laid down in Lui’s own
studio in Mannheim alongside Benedikt Jäckle. All elements were finally assembled and
shaped into a cohesive vision back in Mannheim.

“There’s less synth work on this one than usual,” Lui says. “Most of the textures come from
the instruments themselves and a lot of sample mangling. I wanted it to feel raw, human and
alive.”
Despite its title, This Ain’t Jazz is a love letter to jazz’s influence. “I called it that just to be
safe,” Lui jokes. “It isn’t jazz but it’s coming from that space.” The project also serves as a
reconnection to his roots: two of the four featured musicians are teenage friends from his
earliest days making music.

Save Soul was created during very special period of time when Le’ Gram was seeking the new ideas of sound production that can convey the meaning of song lyrics . Combining the eclectic wind instruments with the soulful vocals , mixing with analogue drums brought us to non-ordinary downtempo sound. Remixed by talented AmuAmu, who has courage to bring his special sound style brought this track  to another level .

"hugs (in circles)" is a warm, dreamy track that lives between melancholy and hope. It’s a song about connection, the small rituals that hold us together, and the quiet joy found in shared presence.

@luimafuta & @cemgemalmaz’s version of Unmade brings a new groove to the original track. With a touch more tempo, silky textures, and a laid-back flow, it offers another take on the smooth, jazzy house feel, adding warmth and a hypnotic vibe.

Unmade

Comfort Zone moves between stillness and motion, between what grounds us and what unsettles us. It’s an album about balance — about knowing when to rest and when to move, when to hold on and when to let go.

The comfort zone is not one thing. It’s the familiar rhythm of everyday life — the way things have always been, where everything feels known, effortless, and undisturbed. Yet it’s also the quiet safety we build to keep from being overwhelmed.
A soft line separates what we know from what we might become. Comfort is a circle: inside, everything moves slowly, gently repeating itself. To step beyond it can feel like a quiet breaking, a necessary loss.
Outside lies uncertainty, where control gives way to growth. It’s uncomfortable, sometimes chaotic, but essential. Old patterns dissolve and new ways of being begin to take shape.

Musically, Comfort Zone drifts through harmonic warmth and gentle energy: floating grooves, soft pulses, and melodies that breathe. Each track moves with intention, but t’s a sound that invites rather than insists. Grounded yet weightless, warm yet searching.

“Castles” isn’t about what you see, but about what crumbles when you wake up. It’s a reminder that everything we build—with sounds, with thoughts, with love—is made of the same stuff as silence. What remains when the castle disappears?

Such a good combo with Lola and Copycow! Tune in! 

Track Info:

COPY048, the long-awaited release by Lola Villa, serves up a psychedelic smoothie of house and slow groovy electronica that accidentally morphs into jungle reggaeton (don't ask how, it just does). Her album is a harmonious chaos of warm percussions that'll make your hips move whether you want them to or not.

"Hermanita Jaguar“, remixed by Opera Portátil, throws cinematic orchestras into bed with opera in the most beautiful collision ever. Plot twist: Lola recorded the sounds of Mexico City's last living river and went full mad scientist creating her own instruments for this album.

Total dancefloor catnip, all bathed in Mexican pink. Pro tip: pairs exceptionally well with fungi of the fun variety.
