Close Counters would like to thank everyone who helped facilitate the creation of this record, from the many studios or make-shift recording spaces where these songs were written, produced and mixed, to the supportive friends, family and community. We’re ever grateful.

Management by Rick Bridgman for Good Intent

This record was made predominantly on stolen land belonging to the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation and the Gadigal people of the Eora nation. We wish to pay our respects to the elders past present and emerging and note that sovereignty was never ceded.

CONSTANT LOVE feat. Jace XL

No Use (Crackazat Remix)

Captain Planet returns with "Tony's House," a high-energy dancefloor tribute to Afrobeat legend Tony Allen. Inspired by Allen’s groundbreaking rhythms for Fela Kuti & Africa 70, the track blends elements of his classic "Afro Disco Beat" with bass-heavy house. Captain Planet calls Allen a dream collaborator and credits Afrobeat with opening his mind to music. This first single teases the upcoming 6th full-length album with global club energy.

Waves Within is a genre-blending triumph from Mexican producers Luca Ferrand and Selva in which they serve up sounds that evolve through deep house, broken beat, jazz, nu-disco and hip-hop. Opener 'Bona Fide' pairs dusty jazz and disco-house with a slick hip-hop switch and some superbly sunny melodies. 'Zarapes (After the Rain)' marries Mexican folk and broken beat, then 'Back To That Thang' twists jazz guitar into a genre-fluid ride and the title track evokes tropical 90s house. Closer 'Lynx' is a shapeshifting house cut with bulbous bass and sophisticated sound design that really brings it to life.

All tracks composed, arranged, mixed and produced by Mauricio Quintanilla and Mauricio Pech.

PREMIERE: Luca Ferrand & Selva - Back To That Thang [Deeppa Records]

Taken from our new compilation:
THE SUNSET MANIFESTO Vol 2

Moods (Rotterdam) and Nic Hanson (Philadelphia)
Moods and Nic Hanson have reconnected to deliver an electrifying synth-funk odyssey with their latest single, ‘Music Never Looked So Good’. Following their previous collaboration on Moods’ 2021 single “Sinner”, the pair once again demonstrate a remarkable chemistry, effortlessly fusing bubbly synth bleeps, deep underwater chords and a hypnotic bounce into a track that is both expansive and driving. Moods continues to push the boundaries of funk, soul and R&B-infused electronica. Since his debut album, the producer has carved out a distinct sonic identity by balancing tight, rhythmic precision with expansive, genre-blurring soundscapes. We are more than pleased to have unique producer Moods and Kraak & Smaak’s “Boogie Angst” crew on board again, after The Sunset Manifesto Volume 1, where Moods delivered a wickedly original Vulfpeck cover.
