groovy sunny vibes

Effervescent nu-disco act Bad Business Club present their second supremely refined full-length album, the deliciously sun-soaked and harmonically rich 'Naked Neighbor'. Following several releases on the revered Midnight Riot, the Bad Business Club return with eight delicately honeyed cuts certain to ring out blissfully over pool-sides and ocean panoramas throughout the long hot summer and beyond.  Informed by an irresistible blend of ‘Moroder-infused’ disco vibes, yacht rock flair, and understated nu-disco gloss, their sound is the aural embodiment of a gentle summer breeze.  'Naked Neighbor' was written at a hilltop cottage in Puerto Rico, while examining the theme of leaving old baggage behind as they reflected on their break from everyday life in Brooklyn.

The infectious vocal of opening cut ‘Flip me Over' glides over lush pads, hypnotic arps and tight drum patterns to create a dynamic disco bullet that revels in both night-time excitement and morning confusion.  The bittersweet refrains of 'Tired of Being Over You', are subtly melancholic and life-affirming as they weave the tale of “washing away an old flame”. 'Too Hot to Tame (Prelude)’ is a sunrise meditation, with celestial keys soaring over reverbed atmospherics and psychedelic guitars, co-produced with San Francisco-based DJ Cole Odin. The horizontal 'Runnin' from You' showcases sugary harmonies forged between Alex Van's baritone and Sam Behr's enchanting lead. The vocals power over a tight bed of funk-flecked instrumentation, making way for guitar solos, deeply weighted bass and crisp drums.

Named after the Puerto Rican house in which the album was recorded, the nu-disco energy of 'Casa Soleada' bursts with good time vibes, before the tempo drops making way for sweeping pads and muted guitar plucks of 'Reflections' to meditate over the album's theme.  'Early Morning Hours' unfolds to an engaging arrangement, as the vocals drive the track along a steady groove, with wistful lyrics combining layers of detailed melodies and emotive harmonies.  Closing this summer album is LA-based WOLFY who delivers his ‘Summer Sunshine Version’ of 'Flip me Over'.  Stripped backed sonics allow space for the soothing vocals to breathe before astral synths add a mind-altering sheen to the intoxicating groove.

PREMIERE : Bad Business Club - Flip Me Over

Multi Culti launch a new quarterly 12” series in step with the seasons beginning with SOLSTICE I:

Post-pandemic lockdown inspiration can be found in the great planetary balancing act that has taken place since a cataclysmic impact with an asteroid caused mass extinction and set our earth’s orbit off axis. This AXIAL TILT, or obliquity, is responsible for the seasons, and life as we know it has evolved around these unleashed forces. As our lives and for many, careers, have spun dramatically off axis as of late, we look ahead to the coming seasons, with the hope that we can weather the changes, and maintain inner stability.  To aid in this quest, Multi Culti promises to deliver sonic support with utmost regularity at the peak moments of cosmic significance, with each Solstice and Equinox.

Beginning this journey are some of the label’s most beloved artists. Israeli duo RED AXES provide a chakra-elevating soundtrack with their inimitable blend of psych-garage-tronica, a sun-kissed banger that signals a long-awaited return to the togetherness of the dancefloor.

Here's rework from another 80s classic from Libyan-Egyptian singer Hamid El Shaeri. Can't get enough of his poetic vibes and the associated  image of a some sort of 70s/80s cosmopolitan Middle-East golden age.
