PHASE: Bonding

Transition symbolizes the encounter between two soulmates, who are ready to embark on their journeys together, in their new lifetime. Finding each other brought them one step closer to ascension, and so the song follows them on their path of getting to know each other and is meant to bring insight into how the bonding stage takes place as we move through life. Essentially the two are growing closer in love and light, and want to see where the possibilities can take them.

The Debut Album by Detroit Swindle. It has everything you would expect from the Swindles, some slow burners with a hint of disco, some deep house, some banging club monsters and hey, even some leftfield hip hop jams.

The album opens with "B.Y.O.", a track that balances nicely between the DS shuffle and an old school New York style block party. The track is a taste of things to come for the rest of the album, hinting towards a big party vibe, but mellow enough to make it a really interesting listen.

The one thing Detroit Swindle are known for best is their knack for picking the right vocals. For Boxed Out, they came up with some perfect partnerships. They recorded "64 Ways" with none other than one of America's finest soul singers: Mayer Hawthorne. Being a fan of their sound he proposed to do a track together in return for a remix on one of his album originals to be released in 2014. "64 Ways" has a lazy shuffle, a bunch of catchy rhodes chords and few well placed layers of synths that give this track a hint of "Detroit Experiment", wrapped up in an almost poppy house jam.

One of the other vocal tracks is "Thoughts of She", that effortlessly samples the voice of UK soul singer Alice Russel from the track "Pushin' on" by "The Quantic Soul Orchestra". There's also the gorgeous track "Center of Gravity" that has Berlin based, Ghanese-Canadian soul singer Sandra Amarie on vocals. It's particularly this track that reflects the true spirit of Detroit Swindle's music, a mixture of soul and UK garage meets Detroit house slowed down to a sexy groove with some of their trademark pads and stabs.

They pushed themselves to explore different tempos as well, which not only resulted on some slow house burners, but also in 2 hip hop tracks. "For the Love of..." is a homage to the old school sounds of "J. Dilla", "A tribe called Quest" and "The Pharcyde", combining off-beat shuffles, a gritty bass line and a warm cut-up soul sample. "You, Me, Here, Now" is almost a love song, disguised in a s(w)ing-a-long down tempo type of track. It's one of those "one more tune" kinda tunes.

So there's hip hop, there's soulful vocals, but It just wouldn't be a Detroit Swindle album without a few bangers on it. "Huh, What!", "Shotgun", "The Fat Rat" and "He's Just This Guy, You Know?" are all relentless dance floor monsters, pushing the tempo to match old school Chicago and New York house cuts from the late 80's and early 90's.

With these tracks "Boxed Out" has a great combination of gritty percussions, hot vocals and catchy chords and it is exactly this recipe that has become the much-loved trademark of Detroit Swindle's house universe. The album has a little bit of everything in exactly the right dose, making it both a good listen, and an extremely infectious club album.

"Master Volume" is a collaborative project born from the encounter of two Parisian producers united by their love for funk, specifically the 80's Minneapolis music scene, epitomized by artists produced by Prince, such as "The Time," "The Family," and beyond Prince's tutelage, a band like Mint Condition.

On one side, we have the producer/beatmaker "Lemy Leopard," who has already honed his craft in producing a kind of New Jack Swing 2.0, characterized by edgy, syncopated beats that captivate the body, sometimes approaching the distinct energy of Minneapolis-made funk. On the other, the composer/arranger Buddy Sativa, whose stylistic range, although very broad and somewhat elusive, is fundamentally based on influences from hip-hop, funk, and jazz.

Following an interview of Buddy by Lemy, a camaraderie formed over their mutual love for this music, leading to their first collaboration on the instrumental track "Master Volume 1" as a tribute to this genre. Pleased with the outcome, the two decided to take their collaboration further, resulting in an EP, the second track of which you can already enjoy."

Lyrics:
Ooh baby
This time I think we made it
Let’s celebrate now because
Ooh baby
This time I think we made it
You and me

Long time ago
We were rolling down that bumpy road
You never gave up on me
Now we’re bringing home that diamond ring

Well we took a couple Ls along the way
All the love we found
Through the ups and downs
And we’re here to stay

Ooh baby
This time I think we made it
Let’s celebrate now because
Ooh baby
This time I think we made it
You and me

Love’s fantasy
Strolling through the vines of Tuscany
We used to sit up in the balcony
Now we’re touching wood at MSG

Well we took a couple Ls along the way
All the love we found
Through the ups and downs
And we’re here to stay

We Made It

When I first heard Tuxedo, Mayer Hawthorne's and Jake One's project on Soundcloud, I particulary loved So Good, and wished the song would run longer. I reached out, and they kindly let me dabble with their original recording. Fast forward a few years, Tuxedo is now out globally and with a full album too. 
I can now finally offer you, dear Soundcloud followers,  this extended remix to enjoy, and freely download with Tuxedo's approval.

Lyrics:
You come around
You make me sick
With that cool lovey dovey shit
You never care
How far you go
You just can't get enough of it
I bite my tongue
I bide my time
You lick your lips
You drink your wine
I keep on waiting
Waiting in line
Hoping for some kind of sign

I pretend that I don't notice
But I know down deep inside that

I want a love like that
I want a love
Strong like a heart attack
To fire me up

Call me up
Real late at night
When the sex isn't dynamite
Let's skip dessert
That mini skirt
Yeah you know it's the one I like
I wish you well
You wish me worse
I write you speeches
That sound rehearsed
I keep on reaching
But in reverse
Hoping I can break this curse

I pretend that I don't notice
But I know down deep inside that

I want a love like that
I want a love
Strong like a heart attack
To fire me up

Going out my mind
Waiting for some sign
Going out my mind and I say
Going out my mind
Waiting for some sign
Going out my mind

You got to Fux with the Tux

You got to Fux with the Tux

We're on our way
And we won't stop til we reach the top
Town to LA
It's the hardest thing that ever dropped

Ooh wee
We got ourselves another one
No complaining just champagning
Because the only you wear a Tuxedo
Is when it’s time to party
You don’t need to flex
It’s just the T-U-X
Ho!

Fux with the Tuxedo
Let's have some fun
That gangster boogie funk
It's number one

Lyrics:
I think it's gonna be better
The second time around
I think it's gonna be better
We can work it out
We can work it out

I felt a super sensation
From the second I laid eyes on you
Never gave into temptation
‘Cause I didn't want to lose my cool
Then the sparks they flew
Nothing we could do
But the aftershock was much too strong
If we start as friends build it up again
Maybe we can make through
Longer lasting brand new

I think it's gonna be better
The second time around
I think it's gonna be better
We can work it out
We can work it out

I had my standard rotation
I was satisfied to get back to
Forget about our relation
Keep it pushin’ down the avenue
Then a late night call mixed with alcohol
Reconnected right where we left off
If we start as friends build it up again
Maybe we can make through
Longer lasting brand new
