July 2021

Summer trax

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.

Private Paradise  (Extended Mix)

French Girls / Slipping Away

French Girls

Just take the L and go
So we both get our way
We'll burn at both ends and say
Who started it anyway

All these stolen kids
Who die in their sleep
Don't mean anything

When you don't see in color
And you don't see the changes
A new moral arrangement
Is taking over
The dead are all dying
But not soon enough
You can look in their dead eyes
And not see anyone

So take the L and go
Before we both fade away
We'd burn all you people
If we just had the chance
We'll get it yet

Everything outside
Traditions we override
The voices we keep inside

Start to takeover
So let's go for a ride
We've got nothing to hide anymore
We normalize violence
On the voices we've silenced
We like when they're quiet
And they don't use their mouths
We're taking the system
And bleeding them out

What Next?

After seven years since this Dutch duo released their infamous “Attic edits EP”, Moiety & Manik are back. Voodoo Hoodoo is their brand new 3-track EP filled with psychedelic analog heat for dance-floors and tribal rituals. Each track tells its own story from voodoo scenes to deep water worlds. This EP won’t let itself be defined by genres, but the style can be described as percussion driven electronic music that will play with your imagination and take you on a trip.

Manik is also known as Jo Bissa, half of Umoja and is founder of the well established record label called INI Movement.
Moiety has just recently released his new album called ‘ZEN’ for his alias LOVE APE and is also known for his releases on INI Movement.

The duo gained big success with their Attic Edits EP, which received millions of streams without any significant promotion.

As their production skills and taste for different musical influences developed, they held a jam session in mid 2020. This resulted in the Voodoo Hoodoo project, where everything came together and formed their new electronic tribal sound.

Premiere : Moiety & Manik - Dance Of The Puppets [Rugged Society]

Artist: https://soundcloud.com/tadan127, https://soundcloud.com/neda-baltiej-t
Track: Pleiadian Message
Label: https://soundcloud.com/electric_shapes
Format: Digital, LP
Release date: 23/7/21
Purchase: https://electricshapes.bandcamp.com/

The shaman uses ceremonies to transform fear and guide others through their own transitions. In ceremonies we learn to be present with the direct experience of fear, even when we want to avoid it.
Sound has long been known to have deep therapeutic qualities. The main element of healing music is the root sound. The focus on one note brings the listener to the present. It is grounding and can induce a higher state of consciousness. Combine that with dancing and you are now moving the energy, freeing your body from stuck emotions.
This is the purpose of this album. These are the tools for the modern shaman.

After releases on Toy Tonics, Whiskey Disco & theBasement in recent years, Bustin' Loose serves up a sure-fire EP of original nu-disco flavours on his own label The Disco Express. The lead track, Sugar Rush, is a buoyant synth bomb tipping its hat to 90's house identities. Featuring powerful diva vocals, rolling drums and a fun bouncing bass line, it is exactly what it says on the tin, a sudden rush of energy full of drive & delight.
