With a tribalistic percussion launch into a warm and silky bassline, Supply Shuttle spins the dice on the deep house edges through linear but meticulous patterns of synth simplicity. 

The scarcity of snares puts the track just enough into the dance-floor realm but still exquisite enough for sun-drenched coast places especially with that subtle rhodes washing over the faint 303 shots in the background. Notal pulled a smooth move here further erasing the faint border between the two genres. And yes, sometimes the border gets pushed more into one over the other. 

Such is the case with Airlock Nation, clearly showing this imbalance in the most pleasurable way. With a straightforward shake onset floating on a solid rhythm throughout the ride, the track leans more on the floor side covering the early night with subtle and warm darkness step by step. The midnight glow emitting from the melodies is beautifully cocooned into deep sway smudged by ritual bongo hits. The track exports a sentiment of nostalgia in a positive and warm way while cleverly pushing the vibe over the mentioned border into a night dance. 

A Walk Thru The 20th continues this sway but implements a synth carrier into the foreground further developing the club feel. And this is where Notal shines truly because even in this kind of atmosphere he almost unnoticeably lays the track on perfectly fitting tribal shoulders stamping the core of the track with earth-grounding charisma. Both audio worlds, one audio shine. 

And still, on the other side of the playfield, Nature Of Offences is grounded heavily in slow and throbbing kicks paralleled with equally heavy claps and constant interchange of beautiful pads, strings and percussions. Although the track is stirred with a filtered 303 bassline, the overall feel points into a deep and seductive zone. 

It flows subtly through different areas of analogue and synthetic forms spewing a late 90s warm-up feel. Well rounded release from Aleqs Notal!

Groovence Invite Roy Vision

Zopelar arrives on Tartelet Records with Charme – an album of effervescent machine funk harking back to a golden era of Brazilian party music, releasing October 21.

Stemming from an emotional sincerity to reconnect with his Brazilian background, Pedro Zopelar releases a 10-track celebration of life, music, and good times enjoyed.

The album is inspired by a particular phenomenon that caught on at suburban parties in 1980s Rio de Janeiro:

“Charme was like a mix of slow boogie, R’n’B and new jack swing. DJ Corello started calling ‘charme’ the moment at a party when he played slow grooves and the people started dancing with sexier, synchronized moves. On this record I tried to make something that brings this feeling out in a modern way,”
Zopelar says.

Much like the original genre-not-genre he drew inspiration from, Zopelar’s approach across his latest LP spans different moods and tempos. There’s blissful, sultry mystery lingering around “Clara” and “Do You Feel?” while “OSAGIE” lends some chops to the exquisite, Rompler-powered synth funk of “Chain Net”.

The lead singles “Charme”, “Shibuya” and “Passado” all tap into varying shades of deep house, from slinky City Pop-tinted loungers to peak-time dance pop and Larry Heard-influenced flavors, with the constant being Zopelar’s immaculate production and the unbridled warmth of his compositions.

Zopelar’s music has been emotionally charged since he first broke through on Brazilian labels like Mister Mistery and D-Edge, before connecting to international crews like Apron, Connaisseur, and Endless. As a multi-instrumentalist growing up in rural Minas Gerais, his musical training has been applied to various collaborative projects such as My Girlfriend, Radioworkers, and Sphynx.

Continuing the Latin-rooted theme of Charme, the artwork conception of Charme was realized by multidisciplinary artist and curator Ode, showcasing a popular style of street paintings made by anonymous artists throughout Latin America, using walls to paint food and drink menus and the like.

Charme is out October 28. on vinyl and digital.
