Flow Whiteme (Original Mix)

Artist: Alejandro Mosso
Title: mosso007
Cat: mosso007
Label: mosso
Format: 12” & Digital
Release:	August 2016

2016 is a new turning point year in Alejandro’s career. With a unique sounding album coming out at the end of the year in the respected english label Third Ear Recordings and a new palette of sounds and inspirations, Alejandro is slowly shifting to a more deep and complex sound. Still accesible to the club, but wider and richer in sound design.

These two new titles in the label’s catalogue carefully thread different periods in mosso’s evolution, showing the continuity of that personal sound defined by precise crafted percussions and playful melodies, appealing to the mind, body and soul.

Kander on the A side immediately sets the club pace with a rolling rhythm that serves as foundation for that classic mosso combination of riffs and counterpoints that build tension thru the song bringing it to an emotional peak before quickly stripping down back to the basics. The beat gently goes on, asking for the next ride of excitement.

Tikjda on the B side shows a similar beat, but we soon discover a completely different mood and tone. The percussions go darker, the meandering melodies become unstable and the timbres get nostalgic. A complex balance of north african drums, orchestra winds and drifting synths, build a song that proves as challenging to access as rewarding for those who give in and immerse themselves.

Kander (preview)

Akbal Music has now been turning out essential dance music for a whole ten years and to celebrate this milestone the label puts out a vinyl only release from a fine selection of contemporary artists.

Vinyl only treat starts from long time German talent Sascha Dive,the Deep Vibes boss’s ‘Lab#4’ is a quick and prickly number that sucks you into a shady groove underpinned with real bass menace. 

Next up is Superlounge with Uluwatu Dub. The track starts swiftly with clever percussions and a lush pad quickly to progress with several drums rhythms into the bass that will keep the listeners tuned into its groove.

Romanian Mano Andrei appears with a sleek and stripped back tune that is full of electronic soul and infectiously bumpy drums and hypnotic vibes.

Finally minimal master Eastenderz and CatchRecordings associate Doubtingthomas is next with his vinyl onlyoffering, going for a much more intricate, synthetic, richly designed deep house tune that is soft, succulent and truly sublime.

This is a fulsome package that packs plenty of punch and showcases exactly the sort of quality dance music that Akbal Music has been, and will always be, about.
