MACCA Vinilo y CD

Review: Emphatic liquid soul with added welly, Macca and Loz Contreras's partnership is wholly complementary. Both cuts here manage to slam and shimmer in equal measure; "Always Yours" rolls with a sound that recalls Hospital in the early noughties... All dreamy, deep and awash with immersive loopy elements and organic instruments. "Wanna Be Your Lover" is more reminiscent of the early Brazilian explosion at the turn of the century. Heavily sample-based with slick, sharp beats, this could have been released any time in the last 15 years and be received with same warm praise. Two young talents to keep on your radar, Macca and Loz have cooked up something very special here.

Review: Fokuz's "Hateful Eighty" project continues to deliver with another superlative slice of liquid fizz: Macca & Loz is a powerful vocal swinger that tips a huge nod at the legacy and influence of Break. Silence Groove's "Kinky Questions" retains the early 2000s soul sparkle but with more of a sultry edge thanks to the deft use of a classic E-Smooth acapella sample. Don't play it while your nan is round.

Review: The words 'Technimatic' and 'remix' should be enough to whet most junglists' whistles right here... Taking Macca and Loz's 2014 breezy, break-fuelled roller and stripping back into something a little more delicate and hypnotic, it's straight out of the remix rule book. Flip for a brand new original from Polish player Silence Groove. Conjuring up similar feels to Brookes Brothers "Tear You Down" but with heavier emphasis on the orchestral sample, it's coated in so much emotion you may have to provide post-drop counselling to the more sensitive members of your dancefloor.
