DUKTUS 黑胶唱片和CD

Review: Duktus and Maya Killtron is a perfect coming together of vocalist and beat maker and this new 7" is simply irresistible. 'So Natural' opens with glossy soul vocals and boogie bass but also has some epic balearic guitar riffs to bring that beauty sundown vibe. It's a heartfelt tune but one that goes big for dancers too. On the back-side is 'It's Our Time' again featuring Maya Killtron, but this time it is a more seductive and late night sound. The scuffed up drums echo Dam Funk and the boogie bass, retro synths and superb vocal all melt the heart.

Review: The recently found Soul Imago label delivers its first 'various artists' compilation and makes itself known thanks to some help by a rather talented fellow. Soulphiction, founder and label-head of the ridiculously on-point Philpot imprint, comes through with "Swing Low" and it's as jazzy as the dude gets, where nervous piano keys meet a big wood-bass and a little electronic post-production. Also featured are tracks by Russian house aficionado Lay-Far, whose "Looking For Changes" is remixed by Pablo Valentino, Noa Siano's minimalistic "Rhodesy", and the slow-building, chug-alicious "Tokyo Hotel" by Duktus & Blunted Monkz.
