Ever since we recorded that iconic Quantic set video on the boat (now +4M views 😮), I've wanted to record a set of his partner in crime on the Ondatrópica project, Mario Galeano! So here's finally Mario, also known as the leader of the psychedelic cumbia project Frente Cumbiero, and a prime researcher and record collector of everything cumbia and Columbian traditional music. I had the chance to record him on my last trip to Bogota in the lovely Paradisco bar in the Chapinero neighborhood, a highly recommended audiophile and music lover spot if you're in town! Enjoy!

A few words from Frente Cumbiero:
Desde Bogotá para el mundo, una selección de discos (+ delay) principalmente de 45s colombianos que se mueve entre la cumbia, charanga, salsa, fandango, champeta etc. Ritmos tropicales pa los corazones y los pies. Gózalo.

🎛️ Only a few weeks after the release of their beautiful EP "Sequences", French jazz/hip-hop quintet is already releasing their first mixtape tomorrow on French Menace label. A solid contribution to the genre and a confirmation of the band's virtuosity. We're proud to contribute today with the Premiere of "Quiet Storm", one of the many already future classics on the album.

After their EP "Séquences" the modern Parisian jazz band Underground Canopy is back!

"Uncut Gems" is a raw exploration of what constitutes the cornerstone of our world. Unearthed over a year of work and experimentation in their studio, these pieces have been brought to the surface, like diamonds in the rough, by the direct and spontaneous energy that connects us.

These precious moments, these "gems", were invented and collected during the sessions in which all the members of Underground Canopy participated. They are now presented to you, in the form of this authentic disc, illustrated by the sincere imagery of the cover of Davor Gromilovic, which perfectly synthesizes the visual embodiment of the project.

🎛️ Very happy to premiere the next diptych from Montreal based producer, vocalist and multi-instrumentalist FOXTROTT. Been a fan of her experimental pop production for years. Today we're premiering "Take it Back" from her new single "Take it Back / Go for Joy" out tomorrow!

Check it out on our YouTube and Soundcloud via the link in bio.

Following the release of The Motion / Looking For Your Love in the spring of 2022, FOXTROTT presents Take it Back / Go for Joy, the second diptych of her new series. Pushing forward her unique sound, FOXTROTT releases two magnetic, highly textured and percussive tracks. The very bouncy “Take it Back” is a call to reclaim personal power and leave a toxic relationship. It’s the soundtrack to a cool and confident walk towards a better life. Through this new series of diptychs, FOXTROTT throws away the rulebook and wants to take us along on her journey. “I love the short form of the diptych in music, where one piece resonates with the other, in a dialogue. It’s a mini-universe of its own. After a few years navigating the music industry with its ups and downs, I wanted to reconnect with spontaneity, ease and the joy of sharing music. By moving away from more rigid structures, I feel a renewed enthusiasm. Honestly, I feel like I am just getting started.”

🎛️🔥 Another hot Premiere today! Very happy to premiere "Playa Poco Sexy" by Sexo y Fantasia, an obscure 80's erotica soundtrack which will get released on Madrid based label Glossy Mistakes next Friday!

Check it out on our YouTube and Soundcloud via the link in bio.

In the midst of the summer of 1988, a duo of artist from Belgium and Italy got together in the surroundings of the infamous X-rated film Rocket 23 Studios Molenbeek to build a seductive sound.

Originally involved in the cinematography and art direction of adult movies, the two mavericks decided to compose the soundtrack of what was going to become a cult movie of the late 80s erotique era: "Sexo y Fantasia".

🎛️ Brand new Premiere today! We're thrilled to Premiere the next release by William Florelle "Vessel (Side to Side)" featuring Shama Joseph on French label Groovence which will get released next Friday!

"Vessel" is the latest release from the genre-hopping creator, William Florelle in collaboration with Groovence, the esteemed French label that houses Cody Currie, Moonee, Kassian, Tour Maubourg, Kevin Over, and more on its repertoire.

The release explores a new flavour of deep house/broken beat-infused dance music. Both tracks are led by the voice of William Florelle and "Vessel (Side to Side)", features the entrancing spoken word of Shama Joseph.

In form with the theme of William Florelle’s lyricism, "Vessel" is a call to express and be oneself, especially on the dance floor - ’(you’ve) got all the answers, don’t hide yourself, don’t hide your bubble’.

[ ⚠️WHY WE CANNOT LIVESTREAM ON YOUTUBE ANYMORE]
But we have the solution here -> www.lemellotron.com/
Dear listeners, here we go again... 😕Since few days, you may have been searching for our 24/7 radio livestream we used to run everyday.
We are exactly in the same situation as last year: we are facing a copyright strike with Sony Music Japan.

You can still listen to us using our website (audio stream) or TuneIn.
This is a rough time for music channels. Hundred of our videos have been blocked these past few months (nope, this is not something we want for those who ask "where the f*** this video is?").

Thanks a lot for your understanding, your support and your kind messages
With love from Paris ❤️
