IO (Mulen) - Looking For Million

"Jungle Generation" is the third release on Outcast Planet, signed by his resident dj Bakked.

All the tracks are dance-floor oriented, characterized by dynamic drums, acid and trancy melodies matched together with a deep soul, as this guy perfectly knows how to do.

Hot on the heels of the Sweely album comes a new EP on Butter Side Up from Velvet Velour. The silky four tracker comes in early December with artwork by Sophie Douala.

Velvet Velour is based in Portugal and has made a quick impression in the last two years with music on Welt Discos, Nuances De Suit and Small Hours. His signature sound is a vibrant fusion of catchy hooks and characterful basslines that fuse UKG, breakbeat and house into something fresh. That is the case again here with a mouthwatering mix of stylish, club-ready sounds.

Opener 'Ready' is a playful cut with nimble bass and crisp broken beats. Neon hues and colourful synths add up to a vibey bit of electronic funk that will get fists pumping. 'Hard 2 Explain' ups the ante with a driving tech house groove overlaid with bright chords. The knotted bassline tells its own story down low as this feel-good cut cruises on through the stars.

There is extra grit to 'Jetski' with its mechanical drums, stiff arps and thumping kicks demanding you dance. Chopped-up vocal stabs and balmy pads add detail as this subtly euphoric and kaleidoscopic jam races into the future. Closer 'Introduce This' sinks into a deeper garage groove with twitchy acid and sharp hits. The muted chords bring warmth and soul that really shines through.

On this EP, the ever-more essential Velvet Velour proves he has real range.

It is with distinguished sensuality that Mazargues Affair have crafted this release for Sentaku, an EP effortlessly blending the sizzling sunshine of Southern France with the decadent personality of Tokugawa Ienari. By infusing their melodies with a delicate touch of extravagance and an intoxicating yet delicious buzz, the collective are set to captivate the imaginations beyond their local scene of Marseille. Electrifying beats pulsate throughout the tracks, with intricate and vigorous sonorities reverberating against the floating soundscape. This indulgent house composition is reminiscent of the Edo nightlife under the reign of shogun Tokugawa Ienari, a time where the senses are consumed by nothing but absolute pleasure.

B2. Mazargues Affair - Move To The Best Point

Yasuke's legend originates in the Sengoku, period and is known to be the first samurai of African descend to have served in Japan. According to the Shinchō kōki (Oda Nabunaga's chronicle), he was believed to have been gifted a hand forged katana which he used to fight for unification in Japan. Today, we celebrate our very own Lamalice's welcoming to the Sentaku family with two astonishing yet opposite interpretations of Yasuke's weapon in battle.
