And here it comes Birdee and Oyobi joining Jorge Montiel, Juan Laya & Andre Espeut in order to provide an awesome package of remixes of the single "Universal Flow", released on the London based Imagenes Recordings imprint as part of a new series of curated collaborations to be rolling along through the months to come.

Universal Flow" celebrates music as a life force, guiding us to find our rhythm and connection in the universe.

Lyrics:

Now I'm rolling back the days listening to Motown

I want all their bass lines in my life

You can tell by the way

they'll make you feel better

In the right space

In the right time yeah….yeah eh….

I just thought of something now

It's not just music

Heard the other day

Yeah music is Life….

Yeah such a natural high

There's nothing better

I know

Find your space in time

Universal flow

Got to get it right

(get it right)

The universe is always right (get it right)

All around there's something there for us all

And it all makes sense when you know

Now it always takes some time to feel the flow

Now it always takes some time

And I'm just saying

Find your space in time

Universal flow

Find your space in time

Universal flow...

From the vibrant heart of Rio de Janeiro emerges ALEH, a singer and multi-instrumentalist whose growing reputation has seen him closer with titans of the Brazilian music scene, including: Cassiano, Banda Black Rio, Sandra De Sa, and Seu Jorge. With a discography already boasting singles that have graced national television, ALEH is no stranger to success. His recent foray into London's studio scene, partnering with producers Juan Laya and Jorge Montiel, has proven to be a fertile ground for innovation, merging his distinct Brazilian vision with their production expertise.

The fruits of these collaborations are vividly showcased in their latest single, "Musa." This release offers a fascinating duality. The original version is a masterclass in fusion, a West Coast-infused Disco Funk sound that's seamlessly blended with a distinctly Brazilian flair. It conjures an intriguing sonic image, as if Marcos Valle were to jam with P-Funkadelic – a bold and exciting combination that's both familiar and refreshingly new.

The alternative version of "Musa" delves into a different, yet equally compelling, sonic landscape. Here, ALEH and his collaborators explore the deeper spectrum of Afro/Brazilian/Electronica. With hints of a "Favela Funk" sensibility, the track is elevated by a jazzy sophistication and an array of brilliant processing. It's a testament to the three artists' ability to push boundaries and create something truly unique.

"Musa" is a powerful testament to ALEH's, Juan & Jorge's artistic growth and their willingness to experiment. The "bipolar" nature of the release isn't a flaw, but rather a strength, showcasing the versatility of ALEH's talent and the exciting potential of his collaborations with Laya and Montiel. This is music that speaks to both the rich heritage of Brazilian sounds and the exciting possibilities of global electronic music.
