Amigo (60 Hertz Project  Mix)

As the clocks turn back and the light fades early, Seasonal Affective Disorder offers warmth for the colder months ahead.
This six-track EP blends afro house, deep house, chill house, organic textures, and soft jazz tones into a comforting sonic escape — music for slow mornings, quiet evenings, and reflective nights by the fire.

Each track feels like a warm hug on a dim day — gentle percussion, glowing Rhodes chords, and deep, breathing grooves that invite calm and connection. It’s the kind of music that turns melancholy into movement and solitude into sanctuary.

Press play, light a candle, and let Vastel’s signature sound remind you that warmth still exists — even in low light.

Reaching the milestone of its 100th single/EP release, Circus Company welcomes back Aquarius Heaven with a new EP of poignant, uplifting house music loaded with a meaningful message for these transient times. 

It’s nearly three years since Brian Brewster delivered the Parallela Mundi 12”, and in that time he has been on a relentless mission to spread his unique blend of house music, Caribbean roots and psychedelic magic across the globe in a whirlwind of live performances and collaborations. In a manifestation of his well-travelled soul, these new pieces call upon traditional influences in amongst the modern motifs that Aquarius Heaven has been built on, while lyrically dealing with the pressing issue of refugees escaping conflict, poverty and famine.

The proud drum throwdown and carnival bleeps of “Bato Chargé” conceal the seriousness of its theme. In Brewster’s native tongue Creole, bato chargé translates as overloaded boat. With the Caribbean as equally rooted in the history of displaced humanity at the hands of sinister powers, the groove of “Bato Chargé” takes on a defiant, hopeful tone directly inspired by the traditional percussive music style Gow Ka.

“50 Drops” by way of contrast takes on a noirish tone with its gritty, street-weary tale and nocturnal melodics played out through enchanting arpeggios and warbling leads. Cooling off the tempo and heading into a digi-dub skank that plays off Brewster’s roots in reggae and dancehall, “Marie Galante” takes those same warm synths and runs them through a slow-but-heavy stepping landscape; the perfect backdrop to the vocalist’s dexterous ramblings on the mic. It’s not often you hear Creole New Release Information delivered in contemporary electronic music, with a rare exception being the legendary work of Tikiman et al with Rhythm & Sound in the 90s.
As with the previous releases we have presented from Aquarius Heaven, in every deft lyric and musical flourish Bato Chargé demonstrates just how much range this ever-evolving artist has in his globetrotting soul.

Aquarius Heaven - Bato Chargé

Based out of San Francisco, Extra Classic is a unique live band formed with a keen appreciation of vintage reggae & vintage sounds. The aesthetic, and certainly the skilled method of their production, is an ode to the art of that classic style as referenced to the term coined by the Cool Ruler himself. Recording in their own studio, Nopal Recording, the band employs a taster’s choice of analog equipment and is devotedly tracked, spliced and mixed in-house direct to tape. However, as the group’s name itself implies, there is a dose of something extra and new in this swirling mixture of space echo, heavy phase, and emotive, psychedelic California-soul. 

Built upon the rock of an early-era dancehall swing, their first single in conjunction with Brooklyn-based imprint Names You Can Trust entitled In This Life, is a perfect slice of lover’s rock gone sideways, a decidedly left-coast piece of roots and bliss driven by Adrianne’s lovely lead vocals and the steady, dusty echoes of the locked in players. Presented in the traditional format with a B-side version as per NYCT fashion, the dub mix incorporates a soothing dose of synare beams and underwater instrumental dreams.
