Wet Summer / Night Raid

Night Raid

‘Outside’ is a scorching, after hours dance anthem blending elements of beloved disco and pop tropes. It finds Petch crooning about a night out that took an unforeseen turn…

This one is very special to us. We linked three of our cherished musical family together; the wonderous band SOYUZ, legendary cult artist Asha Puthli and Swedish maestro Sven Wunder, for an exclusive production made especially for the Mr Bongo Record Club 7 compilation. We were so blown away with the results, we wanted to share it as a stand-alone single too. 

They say don't meet your heroes, but this is not the case with Asha Puthli. You couldn't meet a more inspirational, gutsy and funny spirit, who is rich in stories, experience and knowledge. At the age of 79, Asha has embarked on her first-ever world tour, returning to the stage after over 40 years.

The track that would go on to become this collaborative piece, started out in Minsk just a month before the outbreak of full-scale war in Ukraine and SOYUZ’s emigration to Poland. Spending time in the studio playing around with different instruments and recording ideas, SOYUZ’s Alex Chumak wrote the initially piano-driven track, influenced by Azerbaijani pianist and composer Vagif Mustafazadeh, with hints of Holger Czukay weaved within.

As longtime fans of Asha’s music, SOYUZ were incredibly excited about the prospect of a collaboration. Asha loved the demo, so the band recorded a proper studio session, sending it to her in Miami where she returned it with her mystical vocals, that as Alex explains “were like a revelation – strange and beautiful at the same time!”.

To put the icing on the cake, Alex met one of our heroes, producer and composer Sven Wunder from Stockholm, whilst playing Sessa’s live band. After playing him the Asha track, Sven wrote a glorious string arrangement that was recorded with the Stockholm Studio Orchestra and conducted by Erik Arvinder. 

Lifting the track even further, subtle percussion by Anders Scherp and Anders af Klintberg delicately dusts the grooves. It was a pure goosebumps moment when we first opened the finished track at Mr Bongo HQ and got to hear the song in its entirety. At just over two minutes it's short, but oh-so-sweet, beautifully encapsulating Asha's character and personality - playful, wise and serene, whilst also perfectly capturing SOYUZ’s cinematic, song-writing prowess and Sven Wunder’s distinctive style.

Riding a wave of critical praise and positive feedback for his most recent Emperor Machine album, the fabulous Island Boogie, Andrew Meecham returns with a typically wild and dancefloor-focused set of dubs, ‘versions’ and remixes.

According to Meecham, Island Boogie is his most personal set to date – a full-length excursion that not only delivers perfectly formed expressions of his dub-tinged, off-kilter synth-boogie sound, but also tracks that draw deeply on his earliest influences and long-held musical expressions.

It’s fitting, then, that this remix EP begins with his own sparse, stripped-back ‘version’ rework of ‘S-S-S-Single Bed’, a fine cover of the mid-80s Fox single featuring the vocals of Michelle Bee. Meecham’s dub-wise revision is a skeletal and driving affair, with snippets of echoing guitar, colourful synths and Bee’s distinctive vocalisations rising above a weighty dub disco bassline and rock-solid percussion.

It's followed by two revisions of album favourite ‘Wanna Pop With You’ from A Love From Outer Space main man Sean Johnston under his now familiar Hardway Brothers alias. Combining his own love of raw, analogue-sounding electronics and trippy dancefloor psychedelia with select elements of Meecham’s original – percussion, synth sounds, crisp guitar licks and elements of Séverine Mouletin’s lead vocals, Johnston’s main ‘remix’ is a weighty, mid-tempo treat. Arguably even better is his accompanying dub, which is more groove-and-effects focused and makes more of Meecham’s superb original bassline. It’s heavy, spaced-out and undeniably intoxicating.

To round off the package, long-time friend of the label (and sometime contributor) Rose Robinson dons her Tigerbalm pseudonym and gets to work on ‘La Cassette’. Brilliantly cutting up Séverine Mouletin’s vocals, she delivers a driving slab of spaced-out, synth-heavy dub disco that adds more weight and energy to Meecham’s original. It’s a fittingly on-point way to close out a superb selection of club-ready revisions.

So Get Up! (feat. MIchael Rault)

Soaring further forth into the stratosphere of contemporary Brazilian jazz-funk, Caixa Cubo's newest single "Jureta" gives us another glimpse into the mystical realm of their new album "Modo Avião" (Airplane Mode).

On “Jureta” Caixa Cubo’s infectious joy of playing acts as a kind of jazz ‘gamification’. A dreamy 90’s video game-esque world, in which João Donato and Azymuth watch on approvingly from the grand castle of Brazilian groove. 

Born from over 14 years of musical camaraderie, “Jureta” features the Fender Rhodes and synth wizardry of Henrique Gomide, Noa Stroeter’s swinging Brazilian bass magic and João Fideles’ intricate drum and percussion mastery.

Modo Avião, featuring "Jureta," releases on 15th November, 2024, via Far Out Recordings. Available on vinyl LP, CD, and digital platforms.
This November Caixa Cubo embark on a European tour, with performances in the UK, Denmark, Sweden, Germany, The Netherlands and France.

FOCUS TRACK
: “Go Big or Go Home”
ABOUT THE
ALBUM
The album is the 1st to be co
-
written and co
-
produced by the duo and
it just works. The production shines through the richness of textures
and infectious groove, making it
multi
-
dimensional listening
experience. Lyrically, it’s about love, empowerment, confidence, fun,
aspirations, and of course, a little drama. There’s emotional range, wit,
sarcasm, beauty and most importantly, truth to be found.
IN DETAIL
Go Big or Go Home Album Press Release.docx
It talks about
falling in and out of love with other people, but also, most
importantly with yourself. Be it that “Electric” feeling you get when you
fall for someone, the emotional depth and intensity of connection that
comes through in “Dancing (Like Nobody’s Watching
) or that
empowering feeling and amazing confidence that comes from being
comfortable with and loving yourself in songs like “Big Girl” or being
able to recognize and appreciate something or someone’s value before
it’s gone like in “Rosy Cheeks” and the in
evitable “We’re Done” when
we fail to recognize that.
It’s about life goals, ranging from modern society’s fascination with the
materialistic, like in “Private Airplane” which hints at the allure of that
glamorous, celebrity lifestyle, to the embrace of si
mplicity and
mindfulness, such as being able to appreciate the sun’s warmth on your
face, like in “Laid
-
back Living”

Artist: Groove Boys Project 
Track: The Jazz Palace (Long Ride Mix) 
Release name: Keep On Dreamin' EP
Label: MATE Records
Release date: 3-Mar-25
Format: 12"

For the latest release on his consistently impressive Mate Records imprint, Madrid stalwart Rafa Santos has turned to Parisian twosome Groove Boys Project. Their take on house tends towards the nostalgic and musically expansive, and the four tracks assembled here fit that description. They begin by joining the dots between Kerri Chandler style garage-house and dreamier European deep house on 'Keep On Dreamin' (Club Mix)', before expertly fusing elements of new age house, Italo-house and solo-laden US deep house on 'Sunrise (Underwater Mix)'. Over on the flip, 'The Jazz Palace (Long Ride Mix)' is a vibraphone-solo laden chunk of rolling deep house warmth and Rawai hook-up 'Djoon Trax (937 Classsic Mix)' sees the duo add delicious jazz guitar solos to a sun-soaked deep house groove rich in rubbery synth-bass.
