The mystifying M.K. hails all the way from Brazil to joins forces with the ever-steady Sputnik in order to deliver life saving edits carrying all good things from slow trance to pumping disco for those who dare to dream about trembling jaws and sweaty skins touching each other under the moonlight.

LEG005 A1 MK - KibeLezah

Fuga Ronto's second release Greatest Treasure is a musical journey exploring different kinds of territories by blending elements of synth funk, dub, fusion, new wave and ambient with household noises, reverb vocals and quotes from movies to adventure games. Out of playful recording sessions the Zurich duo Schweizer and Shiller created songs with track names that read like movie titles. The treasure quest begins with a tongue-in-cheek intro before the title track kicks in. It’s all about exotic boogie with adventurous lyrics and voodoo magic. The rhythm guitar, percussion and multilingual chanting driven single „Falling Star“, lures even unathletic feet onto the dancefloor. "Columbo De Domingo“, a rolling instrumental based on a four chord sequence creates an illusional staircase moment. The tracks on the B-side guide towards slower and dreamier attempts. "Mirror To Water" builds on swaying synth pads that lead up to a laid-back song with breathy male and female vocals over a shuffling drum beat. It’s epilogue "Wobble In The Pool" sticks to the mood and takes the sounds further into dubby lands. The closing chapter "Mystery Of Zambio" is a delightful two- parter. Nostalgic melodies take the lead at first to be replaced by chords and a choir in the second part, until they dance away into the fade-out. Maybe a hint for a continuation of the story? One would hope so.

[PHI-19] Fuga Ronto - Greatest Treasure LP snippets

Funny story: while zapping through TV this summer, I came across the video clip of this 1996 hit by French pop singer Zazie and immediately felt the potential of its surprisingly dreamy, breakbeat instru ✨

So here is an edit mixing both instrumental versions with and without choirs, playing around with percussion loops and female choirs to give a dancefloor twist to this pop track 🕺
