Inimitable German duo Andhim return to their Superfriends controls with a beautiful moment of reflection… 

‘Nice To Meet You’. Less of a pleasantry, much more than a simple greeting; this is an affirmation. A powerful confirmation that now, right this minute, is THE time. 

This is what we’ve been waiting for, for so long. We’re right in the middle of a beautiful summer. And this is Andhim’s take on the whole experience. 

We’ve waited through winter and spring. We’ve waited through the last two years of weirdness. Now we are in the thick of the first full summer of the 20s so far. And it’s a hot one, too. Savour the moments, savour the encounters. 

Nice to meet new people, meet new views, meet new strangers, meet new locations and new crowds. Nice to meet old friends, new friends, best friends, Superfriends. Nice to meet YOU

MBR508: Fahlberg - The Light (EP)

Fahlberg is back on MoBlack, yet again showcasing his visionary studio acumen and an extraordinary ability to deliver a multi-dimensional experience through music. Gleaming first, the Stockholm-based DJ/producer casts 'The Light'. A symphony of blissful melodies, poignant riffs and effervescent rhythms, this stunning title track trajects a luminous ascension to celestial paradigms. Fahlberg's dreamy voyage carries on further upon the atmosphere. Layering airy synths, lithe cadences and dewy electronic undulations, 'Above the Clouds' is a soothing saunter through billows of moist rapture. The three-track EP concludes with nascent intimacy through a timeless egress: 'Trust Me' is an idyllic finale, perpetuated by radiant strings, mesmerizing beat patterns, and solacing harmonies.

MBR508 - Fahlberg - The Light (Original Mix)

Paula Fernandez and Zahira Sanchez, both from Havana, have a distinctive take on house music that draws on their rich local cultural references. The result is a sound rich in organic percussion and Afro-tinged drums that are authentic and alive every step of the way. They have been associated with Get Physical for a while and have released solo EPs and contributed to the Cocada - The Second Season compilation in the past. Here they work with Arema Arega, a Cuban singer-songwriter, music producer, painter and fashion designer. 'Caliente' is a brilliantly rich house sound with organic percussion and hypnotising vocals from Arega. The groove bumps and shuffles, with wooden hits and bubbling bass next to slick synth work and sensuous sax sounds which add up to a seductive and cultural track. Label mainstays Monkey Safari then step up with a remix that goes deep. It's sprinkled with shakers, delicate chord work and moody grooves that snake late into the night and get you in a trance. This is a superb introduction to the forthcoming Cuba, Get Physical! EP.

Damian Lazarus delivers his own take on Crosstown’s first release of 2023, unveiling his re-shape of Made By Pete and Zoe Kypri’s gripping and euphoric ‘Horizon Red’.

A staple of his sets throughout 2022 and into the New Year, Made By Pete and Zoe Kypri’s captivating and alluring collaboration ‘Horizon Red’ has served as a heavily-requested anthem for Crosstown Rebel’s head honcho Damian Lazarus. Greeted by elated cheers and euphoria from crowds across the globe with each play, the striking production and first label release of the year is now given a special re-work by the imprint boss as he serves up his own re-shape to open February.

Harnessing Kypri’s luscious and entrancing vocals and building on the original’s striking piano chords by introducing snaking grooves accented by rich organic percussion and pulsing bass stabs, Lazarus’ re-shape grows and builds to showcase an expertly crafted take balancing energy and tension impeccably.

Damian Lazarus’ re-shape of Made By Pete & Zoe Kypri ‘Horizon Red’ drops via Crosstown Rebels on 3rd February 2023, with the remix also available on vinyl alongside the original and dub mixes.

Yepes returns to Abracadabra following his recent ‘My Way’ single with Sounds Of Rituals, this time collaborating with Presi On and Renate for the powerful vibes of ‘Mawu’.

Yepes picks up the story; “the story of this track began on a road trip to Cartagena. While we were listening to different songs, we hit a song from Adriatique that caught our attention at the same time as the sunset. The melodies and emotions they put into their track got us thinking and wanting to deliver a track with that emotion. That's how we came up with "Mawu," a very emotional and inspirational track. "Mawu" is a musical tribute to the powerful creator goddess of Dahomey mythology. This track is infused with heavenly harmonies and angelic chords, designed to capture the essence of Mawu's benevolent and nurturing nature. As we composed this track, we sought to convey the many facets of Mawu's character, from her role as a protector and nurturer of all life to her strength and determination in the face of adversity. The melody is designed to evoke feelings of hope and perseverance, capturing the essence of Mawu's journey and her unwavering determination to achieve her goals. Mawu is a goddess associated with the Sun and Moon, and we used this idea to create a track that is both light and dark, with a balance of different instruments, to create a harmony that reflects the balance of the universe. As you listen, let yourself be transported to the mystical world of Mawu, and be reminded of the power of the divine and the importance of living in harmony with the natural world.

Cameron Jack teams up with Stones & Bones to deliver something truly special with their collaborative single ‘Ancestral Praise’ featuring Reine Mash.

The single sees London born Cameron Jack follow on from a slew of successful releases with ABRACADABRA, as well as a remix for Damian Lazarus’ iconic Crosstown Rebels imprint. South African duo Stones & Bones have been busy themselves, with their self-described “Afro-Rock” sound finding homes on labels such as Merecumbe Recordings, Movement Limited and Spitfire Music.

Cameron explains; “Casper and KG (Stones & Bones) reached out asking if I wanted to collaborate on one of their records for their latest release. They sent me a selection of really nice tracks to pick from. The minute I heard the vocal on Ancestral Praise I knew it was the one. I love working with uplifting vocals like this. Music for the soul!”

Marrakech born DJ/producer Jalal Ramdani returns to ABRACADABRA with a new single and new collaboration with Tommy Chiabra.  ‘Together’ explores the themes of friendship and solidarity via a prime time slice of feel good Afrobeat, and a track that’s already featuring heavily in the sets of Blond:ish this summer.

Jalal picks up the story “(Tommy) and I met at one of the UNICEF charity events in Capri 2 years ago, finding out that Blond:ish was one of our common friends. Repeatedly meeting again at random in those charity events, we decided to materialise some form of collaboration, that would touch the widest audience, hence forming a music track.  We have named it ‘Together’. It is about togetherness during challenging times. In-between worldwide conflicts and divisions, we decided to produce a song that sing unity beyond provenience, religions, or any material boundaries.  It’s a track where the listener is automatically happier after listening to it. It has been supported by Blondish & others since we finished it, right before Burning Man 2022.  This is one of our many upcoming collaborations which goal is to uplift the listener both on and off the dance floor”.
