Da Funk Junkies - Give It To Me (Radio Edit) [CRMS160]

Out Now On Friskybeat Records:

1.  Canto
2. Canto (Jam Edit)

.
Miguel Leiva is Casomado, a producer and DJ based in Vancouver / Montreal who draws influence from his early life in South America as well as the varied history of music over the past five decades. His multi-faceted house music sound moves feet and souls alike, and his recent experiments with Afro-house have expanded his sound in exciting directions. Casomado's latest single, "Canto," explores this further, opening with various elements providing rhythmic counterpoints over a strong bass line punch. Melodic chants are cut-up into the mix as short synth hits and subtle pads accentuate the vibe. A Jam Edit is also included, stripping down the elements and showcasing the richness of the drum track and bass tones. A crucial groove.

.
Tony H (Dirtybird) – “The Jam Edit is pretty slick.”  
Tyler Stadius (Deepsite) – “Nice, vibey rhythms.”  
Alvaro Hylander (DeepWit Recordings) – “Nice track and atmosphere. Groovy and shaky, I like it.”  
Sumsuch (Colour and Pitch) – “A great, moody groove.”  
Daz-I-Kue (RBMA Radio) – “This is quite the nice, groovy jam.”  
Tommy D Funk (DJ Times Magazine) – “What a beautiful track. Just haunting.”

Canto

Casomado - Canto (Friskybeat Records)

Out Now On Friskybeat Records:

1.  Signs Of Love
2. Signs Of Love (Synth Edit)
3. Get it Right

.
Friskybeat Records presents "Signs Of Love," a collaborative venture between Label Owner/DJ/producer Luis Machuca, keyboardist/composer Max Zipursky, and flamenco-jazz guitarist Andre Stepanian. The three talents blend soul, funk, latin, and nu-disco house rhythms to orchestrate a tasteful offering for discerning music aficionados.

“Signs Of Love” is a splendid nu-disco flavored house cut full of energy and emotion. The framework for the track is a four-on-the-floor drum beat, driven by hi-hats, groovy percussion, and anticipated muted bass. The musical layers feature a vintage organ, lush piano strings, and electric guitar, all topped off with a soulful vocal loop to add extra heat.

The Synth Edit replaces some of the guitar parts with funky chord stabs and arpeggiated synths layers making the track slightly deeper and dance-floor focused.

The bonus track, “Get It Right,” is a superb latin house tune powered by slick percussion and frisky drum beats joined by a rich grand piano, evolving bass lines, warm synth pads, and electric guitar overtones and melodic riffs. The orchestration still allows the soul-powered vocal samples to take center stage.

The unique and signature voice samples in this release will leave the listener guessing … yet the singer's voice is so rich that it should be recognizable.

.
Distant People (Seamless) – “Wow, this is super cool. Just has everything you want.”  
Andrew Emil (Glenview Records) – “Just perfection.”  
Daz-I-Kue (Future Soul Records) – “Soulful vibes, which I’m loving.”  
Deepshizzol (MyHouse YourHouse) – “Ooooh! Love this.”  
Norbert Borchers (House Sound of Hamburg) – “Beautiful. Dope vocals!”  
Michael Fossati (Spirit of House Web Zine) – “Simply wonderful music.”  
Jeannie Hopper (WBAI FM, New York) – “Reminiscent of Tortured Soul. Loving the live grooves and vocals.”

Signs Of Love

Luis Machuca, Max Zipursky, Andre Stepanian - Signs Of Love (Friskybeat Records)

Out Now On Friskybeat Records:

1.  I Feel So Lucky
2. I Feel So Lucky (Cosmic Dub)
3. I Feel So Lucky (Radio Edit)
4. I Feel So Lucky (Luis Machuca Pleasure Edit)
5. I Feel So Lucky (Luis Machuca Afro Latin Mix)

.
Casomado’s new track, “I Feel So Lucky,” is the first release since the Canadian/Chilean producer revamped his home studio to feature analog gear. Inspired by the memories and musical influences of his father's disco and funk collections, Casomado explores his sound with various new production techniques.

The foundational loop is a sampled groove shaped by an array of percussive samples, 808 drums, and a funk-acid analog bass line. Extracting from another record, Casomado blends a vocal verse inspired by a newfound love in his personal life.

The Cosmic Dub explores Casomado’s affinity for psychedelic music. Reimagining the original mix, he creates a landscape of texture and layered synthesis. With a spacey drum foundation and filled with effects, this mix caters to a more spiritual listening journey rather than a dance floor banger.

Exciting additions to the single are Luis Machuca’s Edit and Afro Mix. The edit focuses on Machuca’s favorite moments of the original, adding emphasis to the rhythm with a more house-driven arrangement. Machuca’s artistry stands out on the Afro Mix in his reprogramming of the drums, including a nifty bongo pattern and crunchy snare. Sitting beneath the rhythmic saxophone cuts and sultry vocals is a lush new chord sequence that gives a whole new dimension and playfulness to the cut.

.
Wilbour Craddock (Groovewest) – “Everything that makes people love house music … A great groove, sexy sax and a trippy spacial vocal hook. This is pure dance floor love.”  
Gene Hunt (Rush Hour) – “Groovy baby!”  
Al Mackenzie (Field of Dreams) – “The Afro Latin mix stands out.”  
Klaus Benedek (Fortunea Records) – “I’ll take the Cosmic Dub.”  
Kosta (Vibe FM) – “Yes! Casomado @ it again … loving this, will support.”  
Steve ‘Griffo’ Griffiths (The Flow Mechanik) – “It's freezing here but the Luis Machuca Afro Latin Mix is a full on summer groover that brings some warmth. Nice!”
