Yoni Mayraz - 1999

As the days grow longer and the weather slowly begins to warm up, The Offline has gifted us with a sonic journey to the summertime with his latest release on “Le Club”. Through his blend of cinematic soul and funk, the track invokes the mood of carefree travels to popular surf spots along the French coast.

The Offline seamlessly connects his new track to the sonics of his first project, continuing his journey into an analogue feel reminiscent of old funk and jazz albums that are often sampled in hip-hop. This cohesive style shows his growth as an artist while still maintaining a consistent sound.

The soulfully visual tune is elevated by its dramatic and cinematic arrangements, paying homage to the moody soundtracks of 1960s and 1970s film composers such as Francois de Roubaix, Brian Bennet, and David Axelrod. The track is a true sonic journey, transporting listeners to a place of summer adventure and nostalgia.

The Offline jumped online for a moment to tell us ““Le Club came about when I was hanging out at a French beach on a sunny summer afternoon. I was capturing moments on my analogue camera, but also wanted to interpret those moments sonically. After arriving back in Hamburg, I teamed up with a bunch of great musicians to bring the track to life.”

Due to drop on Roots Records, 16 March, “Le Club” marks his first single since his 2022 debut EP ‘En Clar-Obscur’, and a perfect continuation of the Hamburg-based composer and photographer Felix Müller instrumental cinematic soul project, The Offline. Part of the DeepMatter Records family, Root Records specialise in instrumental music free of genre restraints.

The Offline's ability to create a soundscape that so vividly captures the essence of a season is a testament to his talent as a musician. This latest release is perfect for those looking to escape to the warm, sunny days of summer, and is sure to be a go-to track for beach trips, backyard barbecues, and any other summer adventure that lies ahead.

Welcome to the 2nd Volume of the Jazz Room series compiled by DJ legend and label owner Paul Murphy.

Following on from the success of the original Jazz Room compilation released by BBE in 2019 Paul has compiled a double vinyl volume of Jazz dance tracks that range from heavy funk of New Orleans to Latin grooves and contemporary jazz from the new generation.
Tracks written by Dizzy Gillespie sit with those from the musical pens of Raul Monsalve and Fela Kuti.

Paul's own label, Jazz Room Records, specialises in re-issues and it is his expertise in finding the rare and the obscure and matching with the new and the fresh that creates the joy filled atmosphere on this compilation.

This album really is as much for the party people as it it for the headz and links the audiences from his legendary gigs in the 1970s and 80s at the Electric Ballroom, 100 Club and The Blue Note to those at his current appearances at Spiritland, Shiftless Shuffle and
Brilliant Corners.

Indeed, among the rarities and the global rhythms in this collection are some excellent cover versions of tracks from the aforementioned Fela Kuti, The Stranglers, Azymuth and The Human League (yes, The Human League). What Paul Murphy has done here is compile a selection of tracks that could easily be a DJ club set, a soundtrack to a party, a Summer festival highlight or a night of music appreciation with a favourite tipple and partner.

The Jazz Room Volume 2 is a must have compilation and, along with Volume 1, is a masterpiece of music curation.

Los Po - Boy - Citos - Fried Neckbones And Some Home Fries

Baby watch me 
Watch me feel beautiful 
For a long time I felt so terribly weird
Now that it seems 
That I found the right door 
with the right key
Now it finally feels compete

That what loves does to you
That what Love does to me


Sometimes I feel like 
Sleeping naked tree
It will take sometime to see
Until or und it again in me
Watch me

Naked tree

Space For Love / A Path To You is the third chapter of FOXTROTT’s series of musical diptychs, started last Spring.

Through the two new pieces, FOXTROTT reaffirms her distinct sound and creates a sonic universe oozing with warmth, refined production and soulfulness. FOXTROTT pursues her quest to blur the lines between electronic and organic, masculine and feminine.  Space For Love is a radiant, forward-moving declaration of love. “I come to you with nothing but space for love. Here, close to you, growing in a place of enough.” The second piece, A Path To You,  is a highly meditative instrumental track, luminous and entrancing –  a perfect Spring companion.

About the series of diptychs:

With her new series of independently released double-singles, FOXTROTT throws away the rulebook and wants to take us along on her journey. “I love the short form of the diptych in music, where one piece resonates with the other, in a dialogue. It’s a mini-universe of its own. After a few years navigating the music industry with its ups and downs, I wanted to reconnect with spontaneity, ease and the joy of sharing music. By moving away from more rigid structures, I feel a renewed enthusiasm. Honestly, I feel like I am just getting started.” 

About FOXTROTT:

MH Delorme, also known as FOXTROTT, is a producer, vocalist and multi-instrumentalist born and raised in Montreal. Her genre-defying, unique experimental pop has been making heads turn since the release of her first EP “Shields” in 2013. With her Polaris Music Prize nominated LP “A Taller Us” (2015) and her trilogy “Meditations I-II-III” (2018), both released on esteemed UK imprint One Little Independent Records, Delorme has worked on building a musical universe of her own, pairing intricate, raw yet elegant productions with a strong sense of melody and commanding, soulful vocals. In 2022, she releases the first two iterations of a series of diptychs. The independently released The Motion / Looking For Your Love and Take it Back / Go for Joy, has garnered support from Benji B on his BBC Radio1 show, and tastemakers across the globe (Lefto, Le Mellotron, CBC radio, etc.), as well as significant playlisting support on streaming platforms. In the last years, her work has garnered support from the likes of the BBC 1 & BBC 6 (Lauren Laverne, Annie Mac, Jamz Supernova, Don Letts and more), international press (I.D, Dazed, The Fader, Line of Best Fit, Nowness, etc) and has taken her to perform in London, New York, Paris, Berlin, Tokyo and beyond. 

She has also worked with Redbull Music Academy as a studio mentor, is currently teaching production classes for Women on Ableton Live. In 2021, she participated in BBE Records’s critically acclaimed tribute album to David Bowie, “Modern Love” with her version of “Chant of the ever circling skeletal family”. Over the last few years she has applied her skills as a film composer, scoring multiple short and feature films.She recently won “Best Original Music” at the Canadian Screen Award for her work on “Sugar Daddy” (Dir. Wendy Morgan, 2021). Her most recent scoring work is on the feature film “Mà Sai Gon” by director Khoa Le, premiered at Visions du Réel in April 23. 

Throughout her own releases and in her work as a film composer, producer and collaborator (Ouri, Jean-Michel Blais, Cadenza, Pierre kwenders and more), FOXTROTT flows effortlessly through different musical worlds without ever losing her distinct signature, at once accessible and deeply insular. The answer seems to lie in the way she relates to music: “I try to forget about it all, I aim to hear something I haven’t quite heard before. I am not really interested in copying codes. My relationship with music is inside out rather than outside in.”

‘Equanimity’ is the new single by South African producer L E F, taken from his forthcoming album ‘Melodic Utopia’ (03.11.), featuring Bologna-based beat smith Koralle. On his second album for Melting Pot Music, he teamed up with Lofi heavy weight LESKY, upcoming Dutch producer Afroham, Greek producer Drips Zacheer and UK producer Jake Milliner.

The dreamy free-floating sound of ‘Melodic Utopia’ stays away from all Lofi stereotypes and puts his melodic productions known from his previous album ‘Antidote’, released in 2022, on another level.
