Release Text:
Chilean artist Massiande is back on Freerange with his second
lease for the label entitled Dancing Is Life. Those of you familiar with his releases on the likes of Ibadan, MOS, Phonica and most recently Midnight Riot and Groovin, will have a good idea what you can expect from this talented producer; top drawer classic US house sounds with a minimal approach and attention to production which makes his tracks sing on a big system.

Opener Dancing Is Life features Detroit poet and vocalist Diamondancer
who you may know from Jimpster’s remix of Delano Smith’s Message For The DJ amongst others) who delivers a powerful performance to accompany the bass-heavy, stripped-back underground groove.

Next up Massiande goes for the jugular with the powerhouse that is Here Comes The House Music. Primed and ready for peak time club spins this muscular 909 jam will hook you in with it’s looped up vocal, moody Detroit pads and propulsive rave stabs. An absolute weapon for your sets!

I Feel It takes us back into deeper territory with a rolling bassline bouncing around a shuffled house groove punctuated with fizzing synth stabs and vocal samples.

Closing out this brilliant release we have Focus which goes deeper still complete with a classic Nu Groove-esque sound palette and blissed out atmosphere. One to get lost in in the early hours!

PREMIERE: Massiande - I Feel It [Freerange Records]

German-born, Amsterdam based don Retromigration (AKA Malik Kassim) steps into the big leagues, letting loose his debut album on WOLF Music. ‘Straight Foxin’ contains fourteen expertly executed tracks, ranging from hazy beats and jazz-tinged broken rhythms to club-ready groovers, deep excursions, soulful footwork and even some jungle energy. An LP that has long been in the works (and for good reason), it’s packed with a flavour for every occasion. You just know a long player from this player is going to cover all bases.

Over the past few years, Retromigration has built up a loyal following and gained solid support from tastemakers within the electronic music press and radio landscape. For example, BBC Radio 1, NTS Radio, Worldwide FM, Mixmag, DJ Mag, Phonica, Ransom Note, 5 Magazine, Bolting Bits, SlothBoogie all giving his music their seal of approval. With representation from one of the scene’s most credible DJ agencies, Sounds Familiar, Retromigration has also got a busy international DJing schedule and will be touring to support the album release. With an impressive run of releases via Handy, Healthy Scratch, wewillalwaysbealovesong and WOLF in a relatively short space – Retromigration has established himself as hot property and it’s clear to see why. A distinctive style and energy permeate his tracks with a breadth of influences on offer, from hip hop, to jazz, soul to funk.
 
His debut LP, ‘Straight Foxin’, is a carefully curated and crafted journey showcasing the creative explosions firing off in his brain. Joining the dots between genres, taking elements from here, ideas from there – twisting and turning yet never out of place. Take the opening three tracks, all of which are tied together by a deep fondness for jazz, served up in different styles. ‘Kunta’ kicks off proceedings with a hazy and low-slung blend, ‘Formant’ leaning into the realms of broken beat and DnB and ‘Be Someone’ cruises in with the off-kilter house.

Elsewhere, there’s prime examples of Retromigration’s signature sample-laden house with deeper cuts like ‘Mada’ and ‘Bouncer’, sitting side by side with more soulful explorations such as ‘New Cribs’ and ‘ITWT’. As we delve deeper into the record another course of Retromigration’s expansive taste is served up, with four high-energy hits. The bouncing footwork flavours of ‘Kush Love’ ft. Passion Deez and ethereal excursion ‘What If’ lead into a captivating nod to the heydays of jungle and DnB on ‘Mild Fever’ and ‘Bad Knees’ respectively. Straight Foxin, mad flexin – Retromigration has laid down the law with this LP, a debut album done right.
