Funk&Soul

There was magic in the air, the room was packed and crowded with wonderful people who danced as if they were floating upon beautiful delicate clouds.

The music roared and echoed between the tall walls and a thick, dense fog obscured limbs and cast wandering shadows between each reveller.

This was a special place, a wholesome place in which one and all were safe to be as they felt they should be. It was not heaven or hell but something else entirely - a place in which the sparks would simply fly and the night jaguars would roam.

Quantic makes an appearance on Will Saul's longstanding record label Aus Music with a release destined to delight euphoric, happy go lucky dancers all over. This one has the feel good factor and we think you might be hearing it a lot in the coming months.

PREMIERE: Quantic - Night Jaguars [Aus Music]

Panoram’s „vivid and eccentric new album“ (based on Philip Sherburne via Pitchfork) gets the remix treatment by Quiet Village and Luca Lozano. A cornucopia of possibilities, aural delicacies and pulsating sounds, Acrobatic Thoughts would be a rewarding task for any remixer and is a real gift for the relevant guests.
	
Matt Edwards’ and Joel Martin’s Quiet Village project can’t be beat when it comes to meandering, prolix and cinemascope-styled tracks and remixes (see their Allez Allez African Queen one for further notice). Thus, their version of „Seabrain“ is a 11 minute long interpretation. Propelled by ocean travel transmissions, deep sea fantasies, sonar tones and a bubbling bass line, it’s the finest piece of submarine house and feels like a long lost cousin to Link’s Amenity (we take a bow). Addictive and refreshing.
	Wandering Frames follows a similar path on the desk of Luca Lozano. But instead of the abyssal-benthic zone, he takes it higher up in the air. Sitting comfortably on little fluffy clouds, reinforcing the UK bleep continuum and adding skippy beats, Lozanos remix appeals to hypno house collectors, slow-motion b-boys-girls and ecstatic dance fans alike. Peak time can have many hours.

Arp Frique is back, delivering four dance floor ready cuts in his signature style. 'Minina Bem Li' is loosely inspired by Arp Frique’s Cape Verdean connection through Rotterdam and Americo Brito, echoing the spacey 70s sounds of some of his favorite music. On vocal duties and doing em BIG is Mariseya aka Marissa Nyamekye. Dancefloor flavours with a zouk flow and arpeggiators on blast.

Three’s a charm, as they say. After „Waste The Time“ and „Socialo Blanco“ „Money“ completes Daniel Meuzard’s Feater triptych. Again joined by the likes of Eric Owusu and Sam Irl and their musical as well as technical skills, as well as by the lovely voice of Vilja Larjosto, the ageless beauty and intellectual brilliance of „Money“ is impossible to resist. It could have been imagined, written and recorded almost anytime in the last 50 years. Inspired or - better put - troubled by the rise and transformation of capitalist systems, fatalism, extravism, climate change and - surprise - the power, corruption and lies revolving around money, its topic is anything, but bubblegum. The music though, is ranging from powerful songs to clever synth experiments. Incredibly executed with a perfectly wonderful result. And even if Daniel writes that there is „no need to worry, I want you to panic“, we want you to listen to this album, while you do so! Hats off to Feater. „

RBINC007LP Feater - Money (samples)

It's a welcome return for Ketama on Italy's essential Cosmic Rhythm imprint. As we've come to expect from them, the 12" inch comes stacked with four shimmering, balearic tinged deep house cuts. Calling back to house music's golden period but with a distinctly modern flavour "Mentalmismo EP" offers up a lucid yet joyous ride. Here we turn the spotlight onto the B2 cut 'The Secret', with its seductive whispering, gentle keys and organic rolling drums hitting the spot in all the right places

Words: Joe Morris

PREMIERE: KETAMA - The Secret [Cosmic Rhythm]
