We are kicking the new year off with some really dope gems... enjoy !!
Discuji "Imperial loneliness" (FunkHut Records Promo)
Make sure you don't miss out on this amazing release by Discuji entitled "Imperial loneliness" available through FunkHut Records. Somewhat slower than your typical house track, "Imperial loneliness" clocking in at 116 BPM is a true gem using smooth yet irresistibly thumpin' rhythms as foundation for luscious keys and the incredible vocal stylings of An Only Child and Kevin Pinder. Label head DJ Pope contributes a glorious rework spreading a hypnotic deep house vibe sure to cast a spell on you.
Wamptronica "Paradise over peace" (Poly-Groove Records Promo)
Back in July 2021, we introduced you to "Paradise over peace" by Mwalim DaPhunkee Professor, an ingenious fusion of soulful house rhythms with his signature soul-funk-jazz sound and his unmistakable velvety vocals. Now this gem returns in a mind-blowing interpretation by electronic dance music group Wamptronica who add their own spin to the song while staying true and respectful to Mwalim DaPhunkee Professor's original. Essential.
