Muta - Praise

This track was created around the intro of a classic soul-boogie tune from the 80's by <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mdGNeC2G1AU" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> Jocelyn Brown</a> that LuiGi sampled a while ago, after finding the 12'' hit-single ' Somebody else's guy ' on a local flea market near his place for a bargain price. It's rather rare (for MonkeyRobot) to start composing a tune from vocal chops; it is actually more common to add vocal bits when the track is almost layered. In this case (even we knew the original track for a long time) the deep and soulful intro from Brown instantly gave us inspiration. LuiGi previously recorded some chords and a melodic structure that we just had to bring back to another key scale, in order to match the vocal chops. The edgy drum pattern and bassline were layered on the same day.
It is our pleasure we finally can share this track, that for an unexplainable reason was put on a dusty shelf for a long period. Most people pretend beats aren't getting better with age like red wine…well, in this case 'Hooked up' still sounds fresh to us.
Enjoy.

Sweatson Klank 'Like I Need You' EP (out February 13th)on @fofmusic

Sweatson Klank (fka Take), a staple in the Los Angeles beat scene that he helped construct in the early 2000’s, returns with a new EP filled with his signature production style, melding electronic genres like Future R&B, Soul inspired beats and dance rhythms into a delectable yet wholly original flavor. Led by the massive single “Like I Need You” featuring vocalist Ana Calvo, the EP’s sounds travel between grandiose and tender, finding a home in a place all its own. B-sides “Bamboo King” and “Wanted More From ’84” give the listener a glimpse at the well of depth this producer has in his bag ahead of his new album, ‘Fine Lines’ out in May.

Arapaima's debut EP, "Sun Key" comes to an end with its second part. After its more bass-heavy precursor, this one showcases a softer, yet still quirky sound deeply enrooted in either oldschool house or r&b. 

"Sun Key" is the English interpretation of the Romanian term (sanky) for 'syke', a half passionate, half tongue-in-cheek attitude towards or regarding something. With a mixture of witty edits of older club classics and his soothingly intense trademark sound, Arapaima gives everyone a glimpse into his artistry and general demeanor. 

Having a side-job in the local scene's pop music production, Robert emphasizes his versatility and sense of genre-borderless appeal through his output on Origami Sound.
