We welcome London-based selectors Rosie Cain & Nadia Harris aka Kiara Scuro to join the label family, kicking off the 2025 year with their debut EP Night Crush.

The pair are well established DJ’s and have been on the European festival circuit for several years already, having also held down long standing residences at Rinse FM and Balamii before that.

Night Crush delivers 3 low-end focussed rolling club tools. Each track captures a huge sense of scale with shimmering delayed vocals and ethereal synths focussed around rhythmic rolling bass lines.

Words from Kiara Scuro:
For this EP we took inspiration from our favourite club memories across our 8 year journey as a duo. As we hadn’t known each other long before we started djing together, our friendship was formed over hazy nights gigging in some incredible places. We used a mixture of our own vocals and samples to conjure up an image of those late night club sets where the mist is flowing from the smoke machine and no one cares what time is, it’s always Witching Hour. We wrote the first two tracks originally, over and over until they became stripped away with barely any melody, so there’s nothing to carry you through, you can just get lost in the weirdness. Track 3, Zeki’s Dream, was written when Nadia was at the end of her pregnancy, inspired by her Lebanese roots, it’s a dedication to her son. All three tracks are tied together with the same group of drum sounds / percussive elements.

For the imprint’s latest release, Last Year in Marienbad is pleased to welcome French producer Moonee back into the fold, who brings to the table an EP filled to the brim with his signature blend of euphoric and emotive grooves…

Moonee’s music, one of François Lefevre’s main aliases, touches upon the airer side of dance music, tapping into the feeling of inner reflection and escapism. His ability to create impactful but softly spoken songs leaves impressions on those who come across it, and his records are deep dives into these carefully constructed sonic experiences. Originally focusing on deep house, Lefevre has taken Moonee on recent releases into a number of new spaces, perhaps best demonstrated on the LP ‘Sandquest’ which came out on parent label Oath last year. The manner in which Moonee curated that experience helped expand his musical universe immensely, and when it comes to palettes of sound, there isn't much better than his finely tuned discography. Finding spaces in-between is a joy on his records, with the attention to detail and emphasis on the free flows and intuitive make repeat listens all the more enjoyable.

‘Brotherhood’ is his latest offering, and it is perhaps his most finely packed and delicately poised record to date. As soon as the ‘Glitched’ version of the title track begins, there is a sense of latent urgency but also a story found within waiting to be told. The steppin’ garage beat acts as a pivot between the lo-fi vocal sample up top and the intensely deep low-end bass and kicks, with the listener bouncing along within the mids to great effect. ‘Existenz’ comes next, and this takes the 4 to the floor energy to new heights. The kicks provide the core for hi end rhythmic elements to offer texture, with focus drawn to the emerging melodic palette, that feels almost orchestral in its depth and reach. One to drift into, for sure.

‘Panorama’ builds on some of the key motifs from the opening two tracks, almost rounding off that chapter of the EP to great effect. The skipping vocal samples shift around up top whilst an upbeat bass line drifts up and down beneath the drums. A playful and joyous track, this one feels like mid-morning wrapped up with late night all at once - one to soundtrack that late-night voyage through the city. Finally, fellow Oath affiliate Moomin is brought on board to remix the title track, and he brings a slice of electro to proceedings. Whilst the original is presented with a gloss of high energy, this version is more understated and laid back, butt this focus on rolling provides an excellent counterpoint. Slowly building, quietly shifting, it is a mini-masterclass in allowing energy to build and release - a perfect ender to this EP.

If enriching grooves, enticing melodies and warmth are what you wish for in life, then ‘Brotherhood’ has you covered. Trailblazing across the electronic slipstreams, gathering energy at canters then gallops, this EP has a bit of everything - press play, and dive right in….

PREMIERE: Moonee - Brotherhood (Moomin Remix)

Our friends Kiara Scuro, the London-based duo made up of Rosie Ama and Nadia Harris, have built up a repertoire of spooky tracks over the last few years for the likes of fabric Originals, Ritmo Fatale and Accidental Meetings.

After hunkering down in the studio last year, they're now joining the Faux Poly family for their debut EP, Night Crush. Layering their own vocals with samples, the pair deliver three percussive, rolling club tools that draw inspiration from late, hazy nights spent together in the club; the place where their friendship blossomed.
