Deep, warm, lovely
It's the first release of our catalog.
Feeling This Music is the latest pearl from Roland'Sousa and what a pearl.
It starts with the drums, subtle and wicked, filled with a proper funky sub bass, then kicks in an ethereal pad driving the track mood into an abstract fresh dreamy trip. It rolls and when its time to turn the vibe, the mood converts itself from the fresh ethereal landscape into a hole of warm vibes provided by the new burning hot pad. Dreamy the way we like!
M. Philips pushes the sonic boundaries further and brings us Questions. Im sure we all want to answer him about this, but not before to taste it till the trip gets finished. M. Philips digs deeper with a dubby groove filled with loose panned hats all around and guide us to pleasure with his warm minor chords. But if this is not enough, the vocal line will assure that the promise don't get unjustified. Sweet.
Label co-owner Fragoso take us into his vibe. Mint is the theme and like the word itself describes, Mint is a proper house track designed to the extreme detail. The groove is simple yet effective, the bassline is strong, round and funky, the sexy yet polite vocal stabs claims the delicate taste in it and the whole track progression is delivered by a section of detailed elastic pads, making the groove swing back and forth to keep you hooked to the vibe. It seems that the recipe gets locked to this, but its not. Then it cames the typical Fragoso signature with chord progression controlled with a filter that goes through a sensible range of resonance of spicy notes. With all these details combined with profound class we hope you understand why Mint was the perfect name to this pearl.
To finish this pack, weve got to pick a track that is strong in groove to keep you addicted, but is also a well designed landscape to fly into a dreamy sunrise mood, typical from the Andys most loved After-Hours.
Andy Caz is the other co-owner of our label and don't leave the credits undeserved.
Morning Theme is the answer to the praise, the drums are typical from Andy, crispy, elastic and mid toned groove. A polite bassline fills the swing and mild leads drive you into an abstract moment to remember you that the flight hasn't finished yet. The perfect mood to early morning hours, delivered by an After-Hours Warrior!
Unmissable!
