Name: R&B 2-step Mix vol. 2 by Toof
Duration: 1 h 6 min 44 s
Description: What’s good people, it’s been a while so I figured it was about time to dust off the r&b steppas. Same as before: just over an hour of groovy r&b infused 2-step and the occasional cheese. Hope everyone’s bless 🥰

Tibi Dabo returns with ‘Overture’, a third tantalising single from his forthcoming Crosstown Rebels album, with remixes from Map.ache and Aline Umber.

The first two singles from the project, ‘Triple Frontier’ and ‘Licht’, have shown what Barcelona’s Tibi Dabo is all about - forward-thinking electronic music with original drums (a result of him having toured the globe with his band) and plenty of cosmic twists and character. A label favourite having dropped his ‘Isla’ EP on Crosstown Rebels back in 2022, ahead of his much-anticipated debut LP comes this third superb taster from it.

The superb ‘Overture’ is an eight-minute gem with super smooth percussion and elastic grooves, with wispy sci-fi chords and gentle synth modulations. It’s full of future feels and catchy drum funk that is sophisticated and smartly detailed with choppedup vocal fragments.

First to remix is Leipzig’s Map.ache, co-founder of Kann Records and member of the Giegling family. His take builds with fatter drums that are just as infectious, while rippling synth loops weave in and out as flashy basslines cut loose and balmy pads add extra cosmic absence to a hypnotic mix of the heady and the physical.

Aline Umber, a collaborative live project from French composers, producers and DJs Aline Brooklyn and Aman Umber, are second to remix. They run the Airfunk label and are no stranger to playing cult spots like Rex Club in Paris. Their ‘23% Eventide’ mix is a blissed-out and synth-laced trip with subtle, smeared chords and starry-eyed keys that have you gazing off into the distance as you get lost in the warm drums.

Following the success of their EPs released last year on Scissor and Thread, Frank & Tony return with another outing of deeper than deep house with a three track EP including an expansive collaborative exploration with Comatonse recording artist Will Long. 

The title track, Understanding takes a nod to 90s Chicago deep house with a slow rolling groove set against plush pads and euphoric stabs sure to send dancefloors swirling in the earliest of nights and mornings alike. 

We Begin, a dreamy trip of emotive soundscapes, kicks things up a notch with jazzy undertones but a drive meant for peak times as it unfolds in moods and grooves for ages. 

The EP then culminates with a vast rework of the same track in collaboration with Comatonse artist and DJ Sprinkles collaborator, Will Long, pushing the EP to psychedelic lengths as the essence of what we call a house groove reaches new idiosyncratic heights.  Essential.

https://www.theransomnote.com/music/premiere-rampue-inside-a-tribe-called-kotori/

In the realm of Rampue, where unicorns prance,
Lies a tribe so wild, it's like a mad dance,
"Inside [A Tribe Called Kotori]" they chant,
In a bubblebath trance, they love to enhance.

With feathered hats and shoes that squeak,
They slide on rainbows, oh so unique,
In a bubbly river, they giggle and speak,
Their nonsense language, oh so chic.

Rampue's skies are made of lemonade,
Marshmallow clouds provide the shade,
In a bubblebath trance, they wade,
Laughing at pineapples in a serenade.

Squirrels play trumpets, birds play the drums,
As they dance with pineapples, their silliness hums,
The moon joins in, doing twirls and sums,
All lost in the trance, where absurdity strums.

So if you're looking for a whimsical chance,
To escape reality and join in the dance,
Find Rampue's tribe in their bubblebath trance,
With Kotori's spirit, let your nonsense advance!

Rampue's Bubblebath Trance is the A Tribe Called Kotori label's first foray into long players.  Venturing into extended musical narratives they invite Berlin-based producer Rampue who examines electronica, abstraction, and "Balearic-infused progressive-house" no less. Rich textures and intricacies form a "lushly textured promenade in sound."

We're premiering Inside.

Bubblebath Trance

PREMIERE: Rampue - Inside [A Tribe Called Kotori]

— I'm glad Chris has let us jam. Listen, what if we start a live duet?
— Come on, I'm too old for this crap. And how do you manage to do all that with your paws?
— I just watch educative broadcasts on Alien-TV sometimes. They talk about different software, hardware and approaches to music production.

The sound was spreading through the body, naturally causing headshakes and goosebumps. It all came down to an instinctive feeling of the world encapsulated in a cosy room. There was a mystery here, the one the comparison with which the previous adventures couldn't stay. Amongst many dimensions, the current one had a particular elusive magnetism. The charm of the home studio reflected punctuality and a love for music. Improvised delights called out kindred spirits, guiding them to the moment of mutual dissolution and self-adjustment.

— But there are lots of curiosities that are out of reach of science…
— Feel the Zen effect, my friend; the chosen path is not accidental.
— Cat? Did you just say that?!
