🔸 Makèz You Move - Part 1

Vulkanausbruch in Indonesien

Makèz have come a long way since they first sneaked into Amsterdam’s studio 80 at the age of 17 to hand over their demos to Dam Swindle. Those demos led to their debut EP ‘Different planets’on Heist in 2019 which gained major support from artists like Seth Troxler and Chez Damier. Quickly after, they signed two records on New York based label Let’s Play House. Fast forward two years, and here we are with their debut album.
 
‘City Of All’ shows a level of sophistication and matureness, effortlessly bridging genres across its thirteen cuts. You can feel the thought that has been put into this record, with tracks blending into each other as Makèz submerge themselves in their concept of accidental encounters, inclusiveness and what it means to live in a city like Amsterdam.  
 
On this album, Makèz bring together all the musical influences they’ve picked up in their life as music fans, clubbers, and art students. The jazz-funk of opening track ‘The Entrance’, feels breezy and casual, like freeform rhythms played in a jazz club soundcheck. Energy oozes from ‘Not So Different’, featuring the smooth vocals of LYMA. There’s a hint of the house-meets-R’n B vibe that made Anderson .Paak the star that he is now. Brilliantly funky, this song shows the talent of Makèz, who cleverly use pop & soul cues to create one of the album’s highlights. 
 
What follows is four cuts ranging from the syncopated Balearic funk of ‘Orbit’, the strings of title track ‘City Of All’, the organ-led, ‘Gonna Getya’ and the downbeat ‘Sonder’. Allysha Joy, as part of Melbourne Hip Hop collective 30/70, features on the deep and jazzy ‘Looking Up’.  If Makèz and Allysha are all looking up, it’s clear they’re seeing the same thing! These kindred spirits perfectly complement each other, the deep bass, warm harmonies and jazzy percussion prove to be a perfect foundation for Allysha’s rhymes.
 
Is it an album all about jazz and soul to listen to at home? Far from it. There are dance floor-oriented tracks, where the distorted filter funk of ‘Roselane’ featuring Fouk, proves to be a highlight along with what is arguably the heaviest cut of the album ‘Bent With Funk’.
 
In an EP context, these house tracks would surely do their work, but they really come to life in this album. No compromise has been made to storytelling and the house tracks all play their part while still standing their ground in a club. 
The expert production and smart arrangement gives this collection its casually funky feel.  On ‘City Of All’ Makèz showcase their remarkable talent for writing an album that goes to so many different places, but most of all, just really feels like home.

Release Text:
Makèz have come a long way since they first sneaked into Amsterdam’s studio 80 at the age of 17 to hand over their demos to Dam Swindle. Those demos led to their debut EP ‘Different planets’ on Heist in 2019 which gained major support from artists like Seth Troxler and Chez Damier. Quickly after, they signed two records on New York based label Let’s Play House. Fast forward two years, and here we are: the release of their debut album “City of all”.

"City of all” shows an admirable level of sophistication and matureness and effortlessly bridges genres across its 13 tracks. You can feel the amount of thought that has been put into this record, with songs happily blending into each other as Makèz submerge themselves in their concept of accidental encounters, inclusiveness and what it means to live in a city like Amsterdam.

On “City of all”, Makèz bring together all the musical influences they’ve picked up in their life as music fans, clubbers and art students. The jazz-funk of opening track “The entrance” feels breezy, casual almost, like the freeform rhythms that are played in a jazz club during soundcheck. That energy also oozes from “Not so different”, which features the smooth vocals of LYMA. There’s a hint of the house-meets-R’n B vibe that made Anderson .Paak the star that he is now. The song is brilliantly funky and shows the songwriting and arrangement talent of Makèz, who cleverly use pop & soul cues to create one of the album’s highlights.

What follows is 4 cuts ranging from the syncopated Balearic funk of “Orbit”, the strings of album title track “City of all”, the organ-led jam “Gonna getya" and the downbeat “Sonder”. Allysha Joy -best known for performing in Melbourne Hip Hop collective 30/70 - is featured on the deep and jazzy cut “Looking up”. If Makèz and Allysha are all looking up, it’s clear they’re seeing the same thing. These kindred spirits perfectly complement each other on this track, where the deep bass, warm harmonies and jazzy percussion prove to be a perfect foundation for Allysha’s rhymes.

Is it an album all about jazz and soulful tracks to listen to at home? Far from that. There’s a nice bit of dance floor-oriented tracks, where the distorted filter funk of “Roselane” featuring Fouk proves to be a highlight along with what is arguably the heaviest cut of the album: “Bent with funk”.

In an EP context, these house tracks would surely do their work, but they really come to life in this album format. No compromise has been made to storytelling and the house tracks all play their part while still standing their ground as powerful club tracks. It’s the expert production and smart arrangement that gives this album its casually funky feel. On “City of all”, Makèz showcase their remarkable talent for writing an album that goes to so many different places, but most of all, just really feels like home.

Enjoy the music,
Maarten & Lars

Rhythm Section International proudly presents it’s 8th offering from local boys Chaos In The CBD. Born in New Zealand, but based in Peckham for the last few years (literally just around the corner from Henry Wu and Bradley Zero), these brothers have made a real mark on the scene here in London town and with their latest set of productions are set to take this message further afield. 

Having already released internationally on labels such as ClekClekBoom (Paris), Hot Haus (London) and Amadeus (Montreal), the duo’s approach to production has matured immeasurably in the last year, as is evident in the restrained potency and poetic subtlety on the 4 tracks across this accomplished EP, Midnight in Peckham. 

Taking it’s title from the locale the boys have come to know as home, the record channels a delicate late night energy - equally indebted to the hypnotic incantations of Ron Trent as it is to the hazy suburban atmospheres of Burial. These 4 classic cuts pay homage to deep house in it’s truest sense - at once sublime, melancholy and meditative. Chaos In The CBD have clearly taken their cue from the mid-west masters of the genre but have not been afraid to let their own influences and environs creep in, and in doing so have created something that is unmistakably London and in fact, timeless.

Beach Jazz (ft. MarBlu)

We recorded this song in the same studio where Bohemian Rapsody and  a lot of other songs from the era were done.
I still can't believe how we blagged it .
Done only in a couple of days we left the studio  when Hatton Garden WC1 London was starting .
Watching the world waking up when we could barely remember we were in the middle of Cash Diamond Planet ready to trade .We , of course had absolute zero pennies between the three of us.    Great rocking time

Found within the new material is a remix from Belfast based DJ and founder of Body Fusion: Bobby Analog. He flips the title track with energy, building a soulful anthem highlighting warm chords, a seductive bass line and a jacking rhythm. The ‘Different Planets’ EP is essentially a complete package from Makèz and one that will have all eyes on them moving forward. 

‘Different Planets’ EP is set for release September 13 on vinyl and September 16 on digital.

Fouk & Junktion - 24 Carrot #2
Release date : 4th december 2020
Label : 24 Carrot
https://soundcloud.com/justsayfouk https://soundcloud.com/junktionmusic 

Following in the footsteps of Outplay’s offshoot 24 Carrot’s number one iteration published last year, Fouk & Junktion are back with the second volume in their carotenoid-rich series - again soberly titled, ’24 Carrot#2’. Known for their juicy blends of low-slung house and tribal funk, the Dutch duo take an outright peppy shot at the news threads’ continuous doom-and- gloom with four delectably carefree cuts that’ll boost your lockdowned arses to proper upward feelings.
Moving the cursor from Afro polyrhythms to sample-heavy house and everything in between, ’24 Carrot#2’ serves up a quartet of jacuzzi-warm treats, starting with the fun-loving ‘Winner Winner’ - an effervescing, Fela-meets-Ethiopian-jazz-inflected fusion of groovy piano, percussive friskiness and further classic Chicagoan-derived programming.
True to the classic filtered house recipe, tasty slab ‘Chicken Dinner’ gets the vibes flowing and swing swirling cheeky-fowl-style, with its savvy mixture of snappin’n’slappin' cello, straight shuffling patterns and FX-altered vox sampling.
Flip sides and here comes the piquant ‘Mustard’ - a breaksy, drum-driven number merging pizzicato’d punk-funk with typical padded deep-house atmospherics and further wonky downtempo electronics.
Rounding off the package is the rewarding after-dinner ’Smokes’, better tasted with a glass of quality whiskey in one hand and a flock of friends by the dancefloor. Taking us on a helluva cinematic, B-movie-friendly jaunt, Fouk & Junktion dish out a fine blend of acidulous bass, rowdy boogie and solid cosmo-discoid pulse pouring over from distant spaces, as they keep the swing-o-meter ticking its way smack dab in the incendiary zone.

We welcome back Deep House don Deeplomatik for his second official Large Music release and our final outing for 2020. The trademark sound of Deeplomatik always features a heavy dose of potent groove and melody and these two top tracks both embody that model perfectly. I love both tracks and really had a hard time picking which one should be featured. We will let you decide. Enjoy!

Deeplomatik - Hit The Beat  _ Large Music

Demuir is probably one of the artist that delivered the best classic house music in last five years: funky basslines, well-chosen samples and jackin' beats has been the formula to be able to release in labels like Hot Creations, Desolat or Robsoul among others. His debut EP on the label contains a two house music original tracks plus two huge remixes by wAFF and Brett Johnson.

'AhhHurrrWeGoAgain' is about a groovy bassline and shuffled percussion ready for the dancefloor. wAFF took the vibe of the track and adapted it to his classic sound: hypnotic bassline and techy feeling. 'Don't Drink The KoolAid' is built around a piano hook and a dirty vocal sample, real house music made in 2020. The US house music legend Brett Johnson putted the cherry on the cake delivering an introspective remix, real underground vibes closing a pretty cool release ready to a wide range of electronic music lovers.
