XL ep

“Freddie’s Groove” is Crackazat in full-on jazz mode. The nod to Freddie Hubbard is clear, and Crackazat cleverly takes ideas from both the jazz legend and his legendary French sampler, Pepe Bradock for this track. The horns are deep and moody, the groove is jazz-house at its best and Crackazat’s soft vocals have the perfect amount of fragility to fit the groove. The changeover into a stabby synth section halfway through the track is a subtle reminder from the skilled producer that – even with all these musical elements – he can direct you to the front of the dancefloor with the twist of a note.

Crackazat - Freddie's Groove

Pre-Order now: lnk.to/Rampue-BubblebathTrance-ATribeCalledKotori
@rampue

This long-awaited project from A Tribe Called Kotori marks the collective's first full-length venture, featuring the immensely talented Rampue. Known for his phantasmagorical soundscapes, Rampue navigates the realms of electronica, abstract music, and balearic-infused progressive house with exceptional mastery. Based in Berlin, this virtuoso manages to mesmerize and elevate listeners through twelve extraordinary tracks, forming the foundation of this resplendently textured sonic journey. His compositions oscillate between understated euphoria and riveting exoticism, reflecting his prowess in evoking contrasting emotions through his music.

The creative journey leading to the birth of 'Bubblebath Trance' is a tale of irony and serenity intertwined. As Rampue recalls, "It all started and ended in the same moment: my cherished feline companion, my laptop awash with an unintended bath, and alas, a dearth of backups." This unfortunate series of events led to an outcome echoing a kind of chaotic tranquility. This serenity, born from stepping into a bubbling primitive chaos, permeates throughout the album, enriching the overall listening experience.

Rampue's debut album subtly imitates the "euphonious strains" of iconic PlayStation 1 video game soundtracks from his youth. The music sweeps listeners into a paradoxical emotional experience—imbued with nostalgia, yet vibrant and dynamic. It’s as though listeners are offered a bird's eye view of the world below, allowing them to rise slowly through the atmosphere's layers towards uncharted territories.

Rampue’s artistic mastery shines in ‘Harmonie,’ a true paragon of his unique take on classic electronica. The track radiates a poetic flame, consuming and transforming all within its reach. Picture yourself riding a chocobo across the sandy expanses of North Corel while this composition echoes in the distance. It paints a vivid scene for Final Fantasy VII aficionados.

The album embraces a rich variety of musical hues and subtleties. From the brass-heavy coastal jazz influences in 'Schattenschranz', to the chopped-up, trip-hop-adjacent electronics in 'Inside', Rampue demonstrates his ability to shape-shift across genres. Other tracks like the joyously chaotic 'Tripomatic', and 'Ich hasse Sonne', with its cinematic flair, contribute to the diverse soundscape.

The album’s eponymous track, 'Bubblebath Trance', is a piece both exuberant and deeply moving. It could well serve as the album’s centerpiece—a lucid dream of dancing shapes, colors, and sentiments to envelop your consciousness. It elegantly drifts from a liminal state of awareness into the rapids of one's inner turmoil, offering a mirror into the artist's inner world.

To round off this musical odyssey, the tranquil ambient tones of 'Die Leiden des hungrigen Fruehstuecks' seal the album with a stamp of affirmation. 'Bubblebath Trance' emerges as a rare class of albums—one that creates its own lexicon apart from the usual norms and expectations. It educates the listener with its new language, weaving through their ears, challenging the boundaries between the real and unreal.

This album exists as an ethereal object, withholding its secrets even after countless listens and awe-inspiring moments. It's an ever-evolving musical enigma, with its meaning and interpretation left to the listener's perception. It resists being confined to any singular definition, instead unfolding in real-time to the rhythm of the listener's heart and mind. The release date is set for August 25, 2023, and is sure to be a milestone in Rampue's career and for A Tribe Called Kotori.

Rampue – Ich Hasse Sonne [Snippet]

Following a couple of low-key EPs, Green Sequence lands on DOBRO with a surprisingly impressive debut album. The Macedonian producer clearly has talent, with his dusty blends of jazz instrumentation, warming grooves and choice samples more often than not hitting the spot. He begins with a dash of slow-motion, head-nodding headiness, before serving up nine floor-friendly workouts that explore the woozier and sunnier side of MPC-driven deep house loveliness. Our picks of a very strong bunch include the twinkling, Rhodes-laden brilliance of 'Leavin', the disco-sampling, bass guitar-propelled deep dive of 'Messin' The Harp', the rubbery excellence of 'Voovojgrad' (which makes great use of chunks of an obscure, horn-heavy Eastern European big band soul jam from the 1960s) and the deliciously dubby, breakbeat-driven deep house shuffle of 'Moonlanding'

DC Promo Tracks: Jimpster & Crackazat "My Harmony" (Dub)

Two leading lights of UK house join forces for a special collaboration which delivers every bit as much as you would expect from anything with the Jimpster & Crackazat stamp on. Having been introduced to Crackazat’s vocal and lyric writing on his acclaimed Evergreen LP from last year Jimpster was keen to team up to bring some of that flavour to his own sound. Born out of a desire to stretch outside of their comfort zones, and with a mutual respect for each other’s productions, the ‘Natural Child EP’ brings two original vocal tracks and two dub versions covering a spectrum of moods from classic soulful to deep, atmospheric, contemporary house. 
Opening track ‘Natural Child’ leads the charge with Crackazat’s trademark jazz-influenced piano part, swirling Moog lines and vocal being complimented with Jimpster’s punchy drums and warm, rounded bassline. The result is a spacious and deceptively simple track which will wrap you up in its warm confines. Next up we have a completely different take on ‘Natural Child’ which ups the BPM and adds a more live, percussive, and rolling vibe which will no doubt get the house dancers throwing down. ‘My Harmony’ comes next with its slick and soulful sound which draws inspiration from golden era NYC sounds of Blaze and Louie Vega while Nick Cohen’s live bass brings a bounce to the chunky, shuffling house beats. Closing out the EP is a dub version of ‘My Harmony’ which loops up the Rhodes part, strips back the groove and adds layers of FX and arpeggiating synths resulting in a heads-down deep and soulful track to warm up the dance floor.

LV Premier - Jimpster & Crackazat - Natural Child [Freerange Records]

In the last few years, we’ve seen French DJ and producer Laroye delivering the goods time after time on respected labels such as Atjazz Recordings, Compost, Makin Moves and Foliage. His most recent LP just released on Local Talk has been getting big support picking up plays on Radio 1, 6Music, Worldwide FM as well as spins from Natasha Diggs, Gilles Peterson, Craig Charles, Louie Vega, and Honey Dijon. Freerange is proud to welcome him back for the follow up to 2020’s release Be The Change, presenting you with a killer 4 track EP entitled ‘First Sight’.
 
Leading the charge, Laroye is joined by influential Detroit artist, DJ, producer, and vocalist Javonntte who has written and recorded a brilliant vocal for the title track. Laroye’s fat beats, jazzy chords and soulful touch make the perfect production for Javonntte’s vocals. Up next, we have the ‘Percussive Dub’ mix of ‘Uku Dance’ in which Laroye strips things back to the bare bones making for a serious percussion tool work out to spice up your sets. On ‘Uku Dance’ a bass-heavy groove is punctuated with vocal chops and deep Rhodes part which adds a moody, late-night touch. Just the kind of soulful, dubby, afro track that will get the house dancers throwing down like their lives depended on it! Closing out the release you’ll find an instrumental version of ‘First Sight’.
