!!! This is a stripped-down 160mp3 snippet of the original track !!!

Artist:  Arno E. Mathieu
Release:  Contemplation II – Colline (incl. remixes by Mark E, Next Evidence)
 Catalog No:  CPT 590-3 
Format: digital

Tracklisting:

1. Colline (Original) (6:07)
2. Colline (Mark E Remix) (5:46)
3. Colline Au Zenith (Next Evidence Vocal) (6:10)
4. Colline Au Zenith (Next Evidence Dub) (6:10)

Following the first EP of his new CONTEMPLATION project, Arno E. Mathieu delivers here a real Mediterranean French boogie tune. Dedicated to the landscape of his hometown in Provence, the track has been thought as a walk in the hills, but with a typical and local gypsy funky twist that brings a true balearic mood. 

After the bass line, latin guitar and funky drums opening, chords and melodies come quickly to introduce all the fresh vocal modulations of the Marseille native singer, Zula. Her performance sounds like she is showing us a small path in the hills, taking our hand for a walk under the sun of summer, and whispering us the warmest words about almond trees and thyme bushes parfums.

Mark E takes the most electronic side of the original for a dope deep and hypnotic reinterpretation, evolving in sobriety with super elegant strings over driving drum and guitar gimmicks, keeping the essence of the original but with a housey touch.  

For the second remix, Arno wanted to ask his old friends, the duo Next Evidence, to team-up once again, 20 years after their timeless and classic album «Thrills», to revisit «Colline»…

It is maybe the best feeling Arno had about a comeback of Next Evidence, as the result is an ultra energic funky jam, full of great music references, but with a real personal touch, delivering a dope dancefloor killer for funk and disco addicts.

VM Radio Show #86 - Emmet Read

Oslo's Rave-enka is back on Paper with an EP that translates as the aptly named 'deep dive'. His trademark dry analogue drums and tech stylings put through the Norwegian wobble filter are present and correct.

Dypdykking goes subterranean with crisp percussion and a sinister bass before breaking to a Detroit pad that builds in intensity before the filters are open and it growls into late night basement stylings.

Drepern wobbles and bumps with a jacking analogue bass and minor synth chords as a pad from the outer breaks the tension. 

Lystigheten is all about the lightness of touch with congas that roll, synths that spark and drums and MPC2000 beats. This is equally at home in Detroit or Berlin.

Ladders takes a nod to the 90s with it's good time stabs and mellow arps and plenty of cosmic stylings.

Laurent Garnier: "Looove this EP!"

Sean Johnston: "Great stuff!

Jim Baron/Ron Basejam: "Very nice Rave-Enka sounds!"

Olle Abstract: "Strong EP. Good to have Ravi back"

The Alma Negra Live Band - San Jon (Alma Negra Night Mix) 
Alma Negra Records
Release : 2.9.2022

Alma Negra are back with more sunshine grooves to nice up open air dancefloors and lift the spirit from Berlin to Bali from Mombasa to Lagos.  The ‘San Jon EP’ is the debut release from ‘The Alma Negra Live Band’.  Although the band has had many international gigs and adventures, this is the first release that Alma Negra has recorded with their team of talented musicians live in the Alma Negra studio. Co-ops with a myriad of musicians has become an integral part of the Alma Negra sound of today and over the past 5 years.

 

This EP is one for the live heads as ‘Mombasa to Lagos’ kicks off this head-nodding package from the Basel based collective plus their live band members.  It’s a straight up Afrobeat dance work with electronic influences laced throughout its journey from East to West.  ‘San Jon’ takes its inspiration from the street procession in Cabo Verde which celebrates the religious festival of St Jon. This cut is played out over a 3/4 rhythm with drums and the loose-limbed swanky dancer firmly in mind.  

 

‘Taxi Radio’ is one wild journey where up-tempo beats, hints of reggae, wild frenetic percussion, and some nasty synths are all combined on this pacey cut. With his remix, Mehmet Aslan expands the rhythmic variety with his Soca interpretation of ‘San Jon’, resulting in a tripped-out joint to be played deep into the extended hours of the club.  ‘Alma Negra's Night Mix’ of the title track rounds out the EP with a deeper and more moody interpretation of the original.

- Cringe Groove doesn’t ask for permission -

Born from shadow,
nourished by courage and melancholy,
this track weaves like a sunbeam through the dense branches of the inner world.

With pulsating basslines that echo like heartbeats,
and shimmering synth layers that flicker like light on closed eyelids,
Kiss the Sun isn’t about the sun –
it’s about dancing with it.

It’s a track for those who burn,
but do not go under.
For those who don’t hide,
but dance with their scars.

Kiss the Sun doesn’t ask if you’re ready.
The track feels you.
It knows your pain.
And transforms it –
into sound.
Into strength.
Into a golden rhythm of Evinution...

Kiss the Sun

“Yūgen Flame” drifts through cedar fog at a hidden Shinto sanctuary — a sacred place where breath, sound, and stillness converge.

This piece is a quiet ritual of reverence: breath-driven whispers, shrine-chorus hums, the haunting shimmer of the shō, and one-stroke taiko pulses echoing through bamboo wind and gravel footsteps. No lyrics. No performance. Only the hush that exists between presence and disappearance — the mystery of yūgen made audible.

Breath

Soulful House is an instrumental journey through warmth, groove, and light. Inspired by the elegance of a Mediterranean summer terrace, this album blends smooth gospel chords, deep Moog basslines, lush pads, and organic rhythms into a refined house experience. No vocals — just pure emotion, movement, and soul.

Each track is crafted with high-end hybrid analog/digital production for a clean, immersive, and textured sound. From rooftop sunsets to cozy home listening, this is music for bodies that dance and hearts that feel.
