Luca Musto and Child May present their new single „Whizz Kid“ !

A drifty bass line that sticks to one’s guns and takes center stage melting into an impulsive groove - ready to be paired with funky slaps. Contrasting dreamy delay shimmers make sure to take you deeper underground, forcing you into its collaborative fusion.

Drawing inspiration from a vibrant energy, the duo's use of live instruments, guitars, drums and piano adds this human touch to the track. Inspired by the pulsating urbanity and its enchantment with timeless grooves, Musto’s and May’s commitment to creating an authentic and dynamic sound inside a heavily saturated genre.

Musto and May have crafted more up and coming collaborations, fading into a full EP dropping early 2024.

Everything flows. Arutani‘s third album is a very personal note on change and life. The stories we see and create, the balance of hope and melancholia that accompanies every step we take. Calm, light, modest and mindful as the artist himself, with a glimpse of light in every aspect. Minimal in character and rich in detail.

And all of a sudden - the baseline kicks in. This feeling maybe best encapsulates this final single release by Luca Musto and Child May called „Trabant“. Proving once again their ability to create music that transcends traditional boundaries, Musto and May set a drum intense and idm- influenced song into place - covering tender, yet exciting sonic layers. Avant-garde aspects of minimal music is meeting groove-heavy electronic beats, never leaving elements by Child May’s guitar work behind.

Produced by MAUGLI (@mauglimau) & Terry Callier
Mastered by Jan Soutschek (@jansoutschek)

In the mystic realm of 1960s Chicago, Terry Callier, a troubadour of folk jazz and soul, graced the shadowed stages of underground clubs and  coffeehouses. 

In 1972, he released his "Candyman“, a truly powerful seven minute bass-driven soul groove.

After retiring as a musician in the 1980s, Callier's music was discovered by some of London's trip-hop legends in the early 1990s. They invited him for recording sessions, which led to a late taste of commercial success.

In 2024, MAUGLI is taking over, sending "Candyman" on yet another journey with modern sampling techniques.

This winter, I began learning how to produce music. My initial experiments hardly resembled music, but that changed when I started practicing percussion instruments and dusted off my guitar. The folder "Sounds like music" was created in which I started project after project. This is project 19 and my first fully finished track.

I hope you enjoy it 
All the love

It's Good To Be A Tree is a deep and organic record label that focuses on tracks with downtempo grooves with trippy atmospherics, and the imprint is back with the third instalment of its annual various artist compilation.

'G2B3:comp-03' features nine tracks by artists including Fawno Feat. Dilob, Xente, Last Gentleman On Playa, Betelgeize, Daniel Hokum, Yassen, Valique, Kapchiz, DIBIDABO, Waxwood and Begiroquai.

Many of the artists on this release have featured on previous It's Good To Be A Tree releases, but others such as Fawno and Begiroquai are making their debut on the imprint.

Collectively the artists on this release have individually featured on other respected record labels such as Leveldva, Underyourskin Records, LNDKHN, kosa, Cafe De Anatolia, Baikal Nomads, Bar 25, Cosmic Awakenings, Pipe & Pochet, and Shango Records.

First on the release is Fawno's track "Cumbinsqui" that also features Dilob and Xente. Cumbinsqui is a dreamy track with live percussion and trippy vocal tones sequenced into a downtempo groove.

Track two is Last Gentleman On Playa’s track "Moloca Sunrise" which has chugging guitar chords and ambient bird sounds layered with shamanistic vocals.

Betelgeize's "Svoboda" is third on the release, and it's got a hallucinogenic vocal sample layered over the shuffling rhythms of heavy percussion.

Daniel Hokum's "Holy or Sinner" is the fourth track, and it has soulful vocals layered with an acid bassline as the foundation of its stripped-back groove.

Fifth on the release is Yassen's "Pantheon" which unfolds with building suspense as the sweeping pads flow between the dynamic percussion.

Valique's Karivarg is the seventh track, and it’s got an upbeat vibe with a pulsating bassline and a fluttering flute that combine to create an experimental groove.

Track eight is Kapchiz's "Largo," which has an uplifting vibe with a chugging groove, trippy vocal textures, and cosmic synths.

DIBIDABO's "Trismegist" is the penultimate track on the release, and it lifts the tempo with psychedelic guitar chords and haunting vocal textures that create a mesmerising groove.

Waxwood and Begiroquai collaborate on the release's final track "A Calendar of Wisdom" which is a soothing cut with feel-good piano melodies, and uplifting vocals that bring the release to a close.

Picking up the pace as it builds from start to finish, this is a masterfully curated compilation that is packed with DJ-friendly gems, but played as a single stream of music, it’s also a perfect home listening experience.

PREMIERE: Daniel Hokum - Holy Or Sinner [ It's Good To Be A Tree ]

Eyes open, still winter. At least your head tells you so. 
A perspective, shattered. A taunting memory you're desperate to keep. An unexpected error noticed only after the ink has dried. 
You can't quite remember the last time you felt that you belonged. 
This gray veil around you seems here to stay, at least for a while. 
You wonder why everyone outside of it manages to be so happy all the time.

This is Erratum.

Luca Musto - Excuse Me

Moon’s Voyager (aka Arman) is one of the new generation of artists making waves in the slow house, chill rave, downtempo scene. Surrender EP marks his first appearance on Moodfamily. As enticing and welcoming chords swirl around your hippocampus, Moon’s Voyager seductively lures you in with his velvety, soothing voice, bolstered by a slow, stumbling groove. Few elements are needed for him to get his message across. Oh that blissful sunday afternoon feeling is draped like comfy pajamas. Lean back & let go. Let him take you on a … voyage (yes, you saw what i did there).
