2024 Fuzzy Lounge Sounds

Drive Master

Afro-Latin beats collide with live bass and synthesizers in this downtempo journey. The groove oozes deep, funky vibes reminiscent of 90s nu-jazz and electronica. 

Crafted at Seattle's Fuzzy Lounge studio, the track features Nick Mardon on bass guitar and Lionel Reinert on keys, with Sandman Theory at the helm, laying down synths, keys, and dub-inspired production.

Positive Horizons

Next in our Mr Bongo’s Record Club mix series, we are excited to welcome Mexican-French, DJ, radio host and deep digger, Sabor A Mi (Sophie Legay Peñaloza).

With a culturally rich well of lived experience through her Mexican and French roots, Sophie’s borderless approach to DJing sees her join the dots through all manner of genres. Underpinned by a love of Afro-Latin rhythms her sets tell stories that link anything from salsa and cumbia, to Latin house, Dembow and beyond, all with a motive to make you dance. Her Rinse France residency is one to check and with DJ sets across Europe and Latin America including Gilles Peterson’s Worldwide Festival, people have been fast turning onto her talents.

This two hour mix showcases Sophie’s signature style:

“This mix was conceived in two parts, an introspective part where the intention was to transport you into a conscious listening experience, then gradually show a more danceable, groovy atmosphere, showing us the richness of Latin, Afro-descendant and mixed music across its genres and eras. It includes many genres that, in the end, were carried by racialized communities. Some tracks carry profound messages, whether through lyrical or musical composition, this mix is full of little details where I share a part of my soul with you. The songs selected are melodies that have influenced my childhood, and my personal development right up to the present day.

They're all favourites of mine, but if I had to pick just a few..:
- Lucia Gutierrez - Morena: This song is particularly close to my heart, as it denounces the problem of classicism and race facing Mexico, my country of origin.

- Richard Bona - Bilongo: One of the finest examples of fraternity between Africa and Cuba.

- Alain Peters - Rosée su Feuilles Songe: A treasure of Maloya music from Reunion Island, whose origins lie in slavery.

- Natalia Lafourcade - Maria La Curandera : A song composed from a letter written by Mexico's greatest healer, Maria Sabina. It has become the feminist anthem of all Latin America."

Big thanks to Sophie for the mix, be sure to give her a follow to keep up to date with her gigs and radio shows.

Mr Bongo Record Club Guest Mix - Sabor A Mi

A fresh and inventive twist on the downtempo genre, reminiscent of downtempo artists like Kruder & Dorfmeister. This track seamlessly blends analog synthesizers, tape echoes, and samplers to create a captivating, atmospheric experience. Perfect for setting a mysterious, laid-back mood.

From Scratch (feat. Deejaypryme)

PRE-ORDER - https://lengrecords.bandcamp.com/album/fifteen-years-of-leng-records

When Leng Records founders Paul ‘Mudd’ Murphy and Simon Purnell marked the imprint’s 10th birthday, they did so via a celebratory compilation that mixed classic catalogue cuts, remixes and exclusives. Five years on, and with the label’s 15th birthday upon us, they’ve decided to look to the future via a compilation made up entirely of fresh productions from Leng’s roster of current and new artists.

Presented on limited-edition gatefold double vinyl with a bonus 10” single, the collection offers an updated showcase of Leng’s much-loved trademark sound, a distinctive fusion of mid-tempo sleazy-disco, Balearica and chugging house interspersed with elements of electronic psychedelia and synth-powered space disco.

Fittingly for a compilation that wholeheartedly looks to the future, you’ll find first contributions from a handful of label newcomers. Fast-rising duo Flying Mojito Bros give their spin on ‘Smoke Signals’ by label debutants Joe Harvey-Whyte and Bobby Lee, turning in a heady and inspired revision that sits somewhere between dusk-ready cosmic disco and flash-fried desert blues. There’s also an appearance from Swedish producer Bo Wosticz with the dreamy and ultra-deep nu-jazz of ‘Bs As’.

Naturally, you’ll also find plenty of heat from those who have already proved their mettle through prior releases on Leng. Danish duo Liminal, who made their debut earlier this year with the much-played ‘Keep Coming Back To Me’, open proceedings with the tactile, slow-disco flex of ‘Tzatziki Bay’ where sweet synth melodies and a heady electric piano riff ride a warming groove.

Roberto Intrallazzi and Dario Piana from Italy’s original Afro-cosmic movement return with ‘Plutos’, a typically deep dubbed-out cosmic chugger. Then there’s Rose Robinson AKA Tigerbalm, whose ‘Mexicana’ featuring singer Joi N’Juno is presented across the package in two different forms. Pete Herbert, who contributed to some of the earliest Leng releases, drops a driving dub disco take on the main compilation, while Robinson’s original mix – a more organic, percussive and horn-heavy affair blessed with plenty of hallucinatory intent – opens the bonus 10”.

There’s a welcome return to Leng for the brilliant Payfone, whose ‘Dime Algo’ is a typically classy, analogue-rich affair in which attractive Rhodes riffs, atmospheric female vocals and pitched-down house pianos rise above shuffling drum machine beats and a slow-motion bassline. Long-serving label contributor Lex (Athens) delivers the loose-limbed nu-disco breeze of ‘Stolen Dance’, while the imprint’s San Francisco connection ¬– the ever-brilliant 40 Thieves collective – drop the dubbed-out Bay Area brilliance of ‘Such A Great Trip’.

Then there are the contributions of the label’s most storied artist, Andrew Meecham AKA Emperor Machine with ‘Eumig’, a deliciously slow, synth-rich chugger full of colourful chords, bubbly electronic melodies and jaunty electronic bass. Then, to round off the bonus 10” single, Meecham joins forces with Paul Murphy (as Mudd) on ‘Road To Nikko’, an extended, Japanese musical culture-influenced slab of pitched-down alien-funk packed to the rafters with squelchy synth sounds, effects-laden percussion, chiming melodies and rubbery bass guitar.
