Eclectic Vibes - May 2022

Eclectics release 'Let It Pass' by Statues

Essex-based trio Statues return to Eclectics with another four-track EP. There’s no change to the MO – two exceptional OGs rock up to the party, each with a +1 in the form of a killer remix.

Rotunda is all swagger and shoulders. A mid-paced beast that swaps sharp edges for a slow roll, that rocks… but gently. The synthetic bass dives deep, providing balance and ballast while the upper register takes advantage of this free reign. Zither glissandos ebb and flow while guitar lines drift in and out, marshalled into time by a neck-snapping shuffle with a sense of slow, unhurried purpose.

Showing a similar, singular focus, is Gold Suite, AKA Bali’s Joey Fitzgerald. Opening the original up wide enough to drop in a piano, acoustic guitar and lead line licks, he builds a remix that is in equal parts balearic groover and 3am mover. The result is a certified banger that will see arms raised quicker than any armed bank heist.

Lessons, by contrast, sees Statues in repose. A simple cymbal pattern leads the way as organ, strings and bass join in, laying the ground for the mournful vocal refrain “The past is a lesson”. What follows is a blissful slice of horizontal balearica pitched perfectly for these times. With the world opening its arms to us once again, this is the soundtrack for us all to sway into its embrace.

Coyote take the remix reins, their deep dub adding lift to the kick and bounce to the bass. They pare back and stretch out, filling the space with found fragments and soft sonic furnishings. The result is a very different destination, but one that still wraps itself around you like a welcome hug from an old friend. Expansive synths and tightly echoed effects ride the wave of a way-out sound without losing sight of the original.

It’s a lesson to us all.

Premiere: Cody Currie & Eliza Rose ‘Flame’

Enjoying a hugely successful year, following the release of his vibrant debut album ‘Somewhere Between Beauty & Magic’ Joeboy releases his new single ‘Sip (Alcohol)’. With production from Nigerian producer and collaborator Tempoe, ‘Sip (Alcohol)’ gives fans another taste of the unique sound and creativity that have placed JOEBOY on the map as one of the most exciting and promising acts on both the Afropop and international music scenes.

Sip (Alcohol)

This release is individually 300 hand-numbered limited edition. The first 100 copies are pressed on PURPLE vinyl (AR023).
Parma-based singer and songwriter Loreni’s released her synth-pop version in 2020 and here the always charming Mushrooms Project are joined by Deep88 to provide four subterranean reworks. Translated as ‘snow in May’, the song alludes to the confusing and unexpected times through which the world is currently living, and Loreni’s bittersweet vocals offer ample inspiration for the chosen remixers to work their respective magic here. Fellow Parma residents Marco and Girogio unite under their Mushrooms Project banner with three distinct interpretations.
The duo’s work is always immaculately formed, and here they open proceedings with their ‘Disco Maxi Single’ version, where throbbing synth bass and atmospheric waves are joined by crisp machine drums for a pulsating club workout. Their ‘Balearic’ mix finds them in familiar territory as they join Leo Almunia to compose a blissful soundtrack to immersive ocean-side reflections. As the name suggests, their ‘Rave’ version is designed for dubbed out dancefloors, with bass-heavy rhythm and wigged-out effects periodically lifted by dreamy chords and distantly gliding vocals. Finally, Alessandro ‘Deep88’ Pasini arrives with his authentic dream house version, with emotive pads caressing Loreni’s reverb-soaked vocals over a chugging four/four rhythm.

Lumberjacks in Hell is a one-man mission founded in 2010 in Amsterdam by Marcel Vogel, as a family and platform for soulful artists around the globe. The seminal labels output is a testament to Marcel’s impeccable taste and golden eared A&R skill. No gimmicks required, just a passion for raw, warm, soulful shades of house and disco. LIH has proudly released killer cuts by the DJ’s DJ Rahaan, Red Greg, Jamie 3:26 & Cratebugs, the late Soulphiction, Dan Shake, Karizma, Giovanni Damico, Mendel, Rayko, Eddie C, and the don that is Al Kent.

For its next release, LIH takes a surprising turn with an eight track LP by Berliners Panna Cotta. This duo came together one summer evening on the legendary Berlin airfield of Tempelhof. Their debut album is the sonically sweet and heartfelt audio delight entitled ‘Sunrise’, produced, and curated with blissed-out, sun soaked, love filled days in mind.

Sitting somewhere between sultry disco and polished pop, French-born Alex Arslan, and Italian Riccardo Pirotto, take the listener on a journey to the blissful planet joy. All tracks are composed, mixed, and mastered on vintage analog gear, maintaining a feeling of past, and making for a sublime combination of warm keys and heart beating drums. The music is inspired by Panna Cotta’s soulful search for instant happiness and long-lasting love through poetry in musical moments.

Opener ‘Tasting Sugar’ takes us on a psychedelic cosmic journey, while ‘Sweet’ picks up the yacht rock pace a touch. ‘Childhood’ with its slo-mo vibrations, encourages the dancers to sway, while ‘Nobody’ surprises with its broken beat breakdown and impressive drum solo. ‘I Feel Love’ plays with analogue synths and steady drums, with flecks of acid beneath the uplifting vocal, all floating along on a killer groove. Track ‘ Sunrise’ allows the honeyed vocal harmonies to take centre stage amidst the blissed-out soundscape, with Marcel Vogel adding muscle and more acid twists with his interpretation, taking us on an even further exploration of Panna Cotta’s cosmic disco universe.

Panna Cotta have travelled space and time in search of these poetic moments. Enjoy the sweetness.
