Melodiesinfonie: Tropicololo

Incorporating various live instruments (flute, congas and more), Swiss producer Melodiesinfonie’s (aka Kevin Gabriel Wettstein) label debut, “Tropicololo,” is light and charismatic. There are obvious disco and world music influences, but he pulls from many other genres—from hip-hop to soul and electronic. Wettstein crafts infectious rhythms and impressive sets, which he’s toured and supplied to Soulection shows.

Kindness feat. Seinabo Sey: Lost Without

A trifecta of CH favorites, Kindness, Seinabo Sey and Kelela have teamed up for a warm house- and disco-influenced tune called “Lost Without.” Co-written by Kindess and Kelela, the song features Swedish singer/songwriter Sey on vocals and string arrangements by Rob Moose—overall creating a sound underpinned by an unfaltering, groovy bass line.

Freddie Joachim feat. Natalie Olivieri: Backyards

From his upcoming LP Beyond The Sea of Trees, Freddie Joachim’s new tune “Backyards” is a lush, jazzy tune. With plenty of horns, an unwavering beat and minimal vocals by Natalie Olivieri, the song is richly layered with a sharp but languid quality that’s only possible with skillful production. Beyond The Sea of Trees is out on Jakarta Records, 24 May.
