Dreamy electro groove house track exploring the pain of unrequited love in the friend zone. Deep, mellow baritone vocals from an African American male singer deliver vulnerable confessions over crisp piano chords, lush ambient acoustic strings, groovy live bass, punchy brass flourishes, and breezy percussion. Confident female ad-libs in a cool, detached tone contrast his emotional rawness. Reverb-rich, spacious mix with subtle synth layers creates beachy, romantic summer vibes. Builds to powerful drops, catchy choruses, and emotional breakdowns. Moderate tempo 126 BPM in A minor for a somber yet uplifting, funky disco-infused feel. Perfect for late-night reflections or dancefloor catharsis. #funkyhouse2025 #nudisco #soulfulhouse #groovehouse

For their first release of 2017, the Parisian crew digged harder than ever to propose edits still in the spirit of the afterparty they organize. 

The EP is composed by four tracks, finely picked and slightly edited by the DJ’s of the crew. They cover a wide range of genres, from french boogie to cosmic disco through west indies or new-wave influenced lyrics. There is definitely something for all tastes on this EP.

Elegy. Electronic. Elephant. Ele is back with its 5th serving and it is a big one! A young label known for its dusty jazz samples and superb deep house releases is coming strong this September, with the ELE 005 EP, courtesy of house music legend: Cottam. Following the triumph of their last collaboration ELE 001 - Cottam Edits it only seems right! Get ready for some more beautifully enchanting music. The first track ‘Love Affair’ is a floor-filler and ready-made disco classic. The second ‘Jigsaw” is an alluring deep dark bassy one. The tracks on the record are signature Cottam brilliance with pristine touches, sample-heavy cuts and David Mancuso-esque editing. Each track is made with love, passion and true feeling. 

First track, ‘Love Affair' will have you spinning around in a disco fueled haze with its uplifting groovy sounds. Using the same techniques of editing and mixing as the great Larry Levan, Cottam has crafted another floor-filler for dancers everywhere. As a craftsman who never does anything by half-measures, Cottam digs deep to find 70s disco jams from Constellation Orchestra and moulds the track into his own new funky vibe that is a true hit! Balancing his own hectic life as a father, this track touches the hearts of listeners fighting their own struggles and was made for anybody in need of momentary bliss.

Whether the Preston producer is building a happy-go-lucky feel-good track or a dark alluring afro beat spectacle, his music is filled with spirit and vitality and to celebrate the release of ELE 005: Cottam Edits 2 we interviewed the enigmatic sampling guru! Read the full interview inside.

INTERVIEW

PREMIERE: Cottam - Love Affair

Having shared edit duties on Universal Cave’s 10th release, Philadelphia duo @superprince1 take the reins solo for UC011 with four slices of Philly rework heat. From the soulful Caribbean funk of ‘Mama’ to the syrupy, slo-mo boogie of ‘Rose’, the A side is a sublime double header of slow jams to kick off the EP. On the B side, Superprince picks up the pace with delicious, private press disco for the dancefloor in the form of ‘Come To Me’, before the dubbed-out balearic bliss of ‘Buy You A Dream’ closes out the affair with a chuggier and cheekier high note.
