With the UK summertime set to be hottest on record for 50 years, London label Kumasi Music turn up the heat with their 2nd EP of 2014, a collection of 6 summertime jams perfectly suited for any poolside, beach or terrace, whilst remaining equally as explosive in the club.
Saccao & Haze-M’s ‘Murmus’ is sunset chill at its finest. Swirly synths, emotive piano hooks and a Nile Rodger’s-esque guitar riff combine to dreamlike effect. Brazilian Re Dupre delivers one of the most eagerly anticipated nu-disco remixes of the year, and shows just the sort of form that we expect to see his native Brazil replicate during this summer’s Football World Cup. Unearthing a mesmeric slap-bass hook to remember, his remix of ‘Murmus’ is fuelled with groove and emotion. The Latin America vibe continues to flow with fellow Brazilian artist Sonic Future once again proving why they’re currently regarded one of the hottest Deep House producing duos in the game. Sumptuous piano melodies and windswept vocal stabs combine to deliver a sublime rework which evokes images of peace, love and happiness.
Next up Athens-born Saccao goes solo with dynamic deep house anthem ‘Everything For You’. Combining funk, energy, and euphoria with an infection groove, Everything For You is perfectly suited for any dance floor situation. As the EP gathers pace, Kumasi’s Russian representation comes via the collaborative effort of Anturage & Biatlone. Space like synths fuse with a heavyweight bass line and memorable chorus hook to devastating effect - the result, a deep house weapon assured to blaze a trail through any dance floor. Australia’s Flex Cop completes this sparkling package of house and disco delicacies with his lush broken beat disco take of ‘Everything For You’.
Whether your electronic continent of choice is Australia, Asia or South America, Kumasi Music’s April EP offers a slice of underground perfection to suit every dance music purist.
