Tracks such as ô46 Rue ': ,: Du Fortö and ôMonopoli Driverö tie the feelings of shared :, : experiences at geographical locations to the music itself. A : :' frantic taxi driver in the Italian village of Monopoli is ': ,: cemented into the footwork frenzy of ôMonopoli DriverÆ, ô46 Rue :, : Du Fortö is the address of the rehearsal space in Brussels, and : :' ôFrancisÆ Themeö is a soundtrack dedicated to Edouard and ': ,: Nicolas, the FrancisÆ boys û a nickname given to the duo by :, : their drummer. The album includes standout tracks from the : :' ôMushö EP; the vibrant jazz-funk explosion ôZBRAö, broken beat ': ,: revivalist anthem ôBrukö, downtempo and spoken words snippets of :, : ôJPSö, the frantic footwork and juke influences in ôThe Leakö, : :' and soul-saturated ôCBDö. ': ,: :, : Nikitch & Kuna Maze channel their instrumental skills to create : :' compositions using their common chemistry; blurring the lines ': ,: between improvisation, production and the art of DJing. All :, : these aspects become the creative DNA for the duo and become a : :' catalyst in the music itself. ': ,: :, : æDΘbutsÆ is fronted by lead-single ôHey, This Must Be Deep", a : :' track that evolves from a string-synth soundscape intro into a ': ,: bruk swung-groove, with a firm nod towards Brazilian jazz/funk. :, : The title of the single is a homage to the words spoken by : :' jazz-poet Gil Scott-Heron at one of his legendary one man ': ,: shows. :, : : :' ': : ' '.. ..' .. . :........... . . . . ............: . . ______________ ______________ \ / \ / \ / Shout out to all our homies from: \ / \ / \ / \ / iPC BOSS HiT2000 1way UKi i8 RNS \ / \ / RAGEMP3 MANDY DV8 pLAN9 BUTT \ / \ / \ / \/ ____ ____ \/ \ / F A N G \ / \/ 2 0 2 0 \/
