@blurrecords_ao is proud to present the second album of South African DJ, Producer and Live Performer - @vicmarick!

Since his debut album ‘Audiodidact’ dropped 2016, he has been in a state of subtle evolution and growth. His sound palette has grown and his musical curiosity has seen him arrive in a place that is not strictly rooted in House, Electronica, Afro nor Jazz but rather a combination of all these musical spaces in which he has quietly built a new collection of songs he is calling ‘Window Curtains’.

The album is a warm, introspective journey best enjoyed as the title suggests: sitting nice and cosy in a safe space while peering outside into the world beyond as the subtle groove, melody and harmony of Vicmari’s musical wonderings encourage you to let your mind drift away.

A culmination of a 3 year period of creativity and exploration in the dubbed-out soundscapes and warm harmonics that set the tone throughout this thoughtful album, his music has taken him beyond his hometown with collaborations with artists such as songstress Boskasie, Matthew Garton from Good Thinking Music where he recorded Congolese drummer Dieumerci Tshimanga, Nigerian guitarist Akinwale James and local bassist and producer Jerome Bezuidenhout. The album also features collabs with Angel D and Hörschwelle as well as 2 remixes from NY-based Brendon Moeller.

The emergence of a career as organic and natural as Vicmari’s is rare anywhere in the world, let alone KwaDabeka township in Durban, South Africa, where his relatively humble beginnings forged a sound that is not only unique but also true to his background, true to his story and true to where he is headed.

PREMIÈRE: Vicmari Ft. Hörschwelle - Melancholia

Label mainstays Fouk just dropped the perfect dancefloor Bomb with ‘Mirage’ paired with a high-octane Elisa Bee remix 

We all know Dutch duo Fouk from their soulful, bouncy take on house music. They’re also responsible for some of Heist’s biggest tracks like Kill Frenzy or their Lil Louis inspired 2021 release ‘Blue Steel’. On their new EP, the talented duo shows us a fresh side of their sound: the main-room hands-in-the-air-going-wild side. To top things off, Italian producer Elisa Bee made time in her busy schedule of DJ’ing and releasing for artists like Ben Sims on his Hardgroove imprint and Unknown to the Unknown to deliver a killer remix of the title track. 

Fouk’s return to Heist after 3 years is a welcome one and with ‘Mirage’, they might just have given us their biggest house track in their decade spanning career. The track is built around a stuttering synth loop and a seductive female vocal chanting ‘What made you wanna…” The real star here is the bassline, which propels the track into a seriously infectious groove. Add some lush strings and moody changeovers and you’ve got yourself a full-blown dancefloor weapon. Mirage has been a staple in Dam Swindle’s sets for the past months and has been one of their set highlights ever since.

“Coffee” is one for the classic Fouk fans. It’s got lovely Rhodes, a joyous combination of whoo’s, snare-rolls and synth hits grooving on top of an infectious orchestral background loop. “Tapioca” is a hybrid latin-electronic groove that builds on punchy synths, live percussion and drunk keys to balance the energy of the track. 

Elisa Bee’s remix of ‘Mirage’ is an intense percussive workout that builds on a breakbeat loop and a rave-bassline. The tempo is turned up a notch or 2 and that stutter synth and vocal of the original make this remix a wild warehouse affair.

Closing track of the EP is ‘Abalone’; A lovely bleep-house affair that still has a bit of that warehouse vibe. It’s got the perfect amount of distortion the drums while keeping things dreamy with some face-melting pads throughout the track. 

As always, enjoy the music and play it loud!

Fouk - Mirage

Originally from Malaga but a Berlin resident for the past 13 years, Carlo is thrilled to unveil his first album released under his own record label, Bisiesto. This label stands out for its unique approach, releasing just one album every four years on leap day, February 29th.  In contrast to his previous style, this album blends all his musical influences into a unique mixtape of instrumentals. 
 
The inspiration emerged when, caught in the circumstances of the pandemic, Carlo immersed himself in creating a sonic landscape that captured the essence of his experiences. Amid those challenging months, he found solace in sharing the book "Where the Wild Things Are" with his son before bedtime. A nightly experience that turned into an emotional journey to the land of imagination, weaving the uncertainty of those days with the joy of fatherhood into a tapestry of sound. Featuring excerpts from classic animations The Fruitties, Dragon Ball, Captain Tsubasa, Sesame Street, He-Man, ThunderCats, Mazinger Z, and Wacky Races evoking childhood nostalgia and characters.
 
Reminiscent of Nightmares on Wax, Kid Loco, and Mushroom Jazz, this album offers a unique auditory experience. Lora Ute brings a hint of tangy mellowness to ‘Because’ balancing dreaminess with playful notes, while Jose Fernancaster, with his immaculate guitar skills, infuses ‘Todo Mal’ with sexy guitar riffs and wahs.  Intr0beatz's hip-hop touch enhances ‘Lemon Haze’, while Black Loops, a percussionist at heart, collaborates on ‘Midnight Cruiser’ to encapsulate the solitude of night-time city cruising with a lo-fi sound. Piek rounds off ‘Esperanza’ with an empowering bassline, tying the track together with a golden ribbon.

In a world that's often too loud, chaotic, and fast, Carlo extends an invitation to filter it out, lay back, listen and immerse yourself in this unique musical journey combining childhood nostalgia with the artist's own emotional evolution

Aurore 404 kicks off 2024 with a new digital solo EP series spearheaded by French artist Disset. His 5-track EP, featuring a remix by Harry Wills, marks the inaugural release.

In this EP, Disset literally constructs a realm of melodies, where bass lines serve as foundations, drums echo through streets, and notes intertwine like inhabitants of a fictional city he envisions: Calamero. Each track represents a different aspect within this fictional city. 

The concept of retrofuturism is portrayed musically through a combination of modern electronic machines and samples of traditional instruments, tribal percussion, and ambient sounds.

"On his musical journey to date, Jarmey has showcased a particular dexterity to crafting music, a polymath of sorts who has been able to nurture his sound carefully as to expand into and above multiple facets of Dance music and electronica. His musical universe is one permeated by a series of prevailing threads that come together at very exciting thresholds, a dizzying array of sounds that boil and simmer with intensity and intelligence, whilst always sounding thoughtful and expertly crafted. Its a journey that has seen Jarmey experiment sonically within the realms of House, Ambient, D’n’B, Jungle, Breaktbeat, Electro, techno and so on and so forth, and within all of these musical spaces Jarmey has always found a balance and a rhythm which sounds and feels so exciting to the ears and to the heart. His releases speak for themselves, a continual build up and release exercise that has seen his sound grow and prosper into new and bold realms, with Wing Theory, X-Kalay, Holding Hands, Dansu Discs and the like all calling themselves homes of Jarmey’s music. His work also as Ocean Stirs and as a member of Mother of Pearls (alongside Birmingham based producer Ed Hodge) only adds further to his sonic mystique and depth, and as a place to walk back into there is plenty to delve deep within and linger for a while."
