INFO

Moodfamily buddies Niels (AMyn) & Ijsbrand (member of Stavroz) have been nurturing Mosley Jr for quite some years by now. Combining strengths and joining forces, these two are succeeding in pushing boundaries and carving out a unique, innovative space for themselves in electronic music. Their unnerving, vague and unpolished sounds are crafted with care and precision.

The result of years of hermitage and grinding has now culminated in their much-anticipated debut album "Lonestar Retreat" (set to release on June 30) – a sonic escape to a more creative reality and both the imaginary and physical place you visit when in need of solitude and peace of mind. Brought to you in cooperation between yours truly and Core Records.

Supported by The Glitz, U-one, Xinobi, Paco Osuna, Lazarusman, Joseph Capriati, …

(2LP gatefold) There’s something Stavroz wants to share with you. ‘Take a seat’

Let it all sink in. Let your feet rest. Let your thoughts drift. Stavroz invites you to step away from the noise, from the scrolling, from the pre-packaged nonsense, from the GPT’s doing the thinking for you. It’s a gentle reminder to pause. To breathe. To remember how it feels to simply… wonder.

Stavroz offers their soundtrack to take that step back with them, guided by them. A journey, spanning over one hour, touching different genres while maintaining their signature sound. Stavroz has matured.

14 songs join you in that step, on vinyl no less! All the more reason to avoid skipping to the instant satisfaction part. Just start on side A and end on side D. Pop it on your record player, turn up the volume… and take a seat.

Tracklist

A1. Kick Up The Dust
A2. Her Eyes Were Red
B1. Dae-El (feat. Poltrock)
B2. Valente (feat. Castello Branco)

"A Seamless Symphony of Harmonious Electronica" - Jazziz

Emerging from over a year of creative hibernation following their debut album, Stavroz's upcoming EP "Kick Up the Dust" jolts them back into action. The EP flows gently, yet the overall mood of the journey isn’t always easy to pinpoint. There’s a certain vagueness to Stavroz’ sound which allows for bizarre experiments to seep through without interrupting the course. “We like to keep it lightly twisted, like a wink with a frown,” says the band.

In the title track however, Stavroz boldly steers towards the heart of the dance floor: efficient, remorseless, powerful, intense and most of all... elegant. Guiding you harmoniously through the club is a delightful duet of trumpet and saxophone, timed perfectly to heal you where it hurts most.

"Her Eyes Were Red" does what it says on the cover. There's melancholy - without sadness. Power - without force. Love - without lust. Stavroz's music possesses a distinct power that feels both natural and organic, never resorting to brute force or aggression. In their own way, the Belgian quartet offers an astonishing journey of saxophone & duduk, supported by broken beats and chopped vocals.

In Dae-El, a track featuring the Brussels-based producer and sound designer Poltrock, ethereal-sounding synths and duduk are combined with ghostly high-pitch distortions. Despite a backbone of muffled beats, the tune has vaporous qualities, reverberations that wobble and tinkle into space – it’s an easy listening experience but in a trippy, spaced-out way. “We’re trying to go for the sweet spot between the couch and the club”.

Adding further depth to their EP, Stavroz collaborates with Brazilian singer and composer Castello Branco in "Valente." Here, intimate Sade-like vocals harmonize with rubbery scratches, acoustic guitar, and horn segments, crafting a lush lounge piece that seamlessly balances both relaxation and empowerment, transparency and provocation. It's a testament to Stavroz's versatility and their knack for creating music that defies easy definition, leaving listeners eagerly anticipating the next twist and turn in their captivating musical journey.

INFO

Straight from the melting pot of Berlin, Luca Musto serves up a solid and fresh house dish in his first album on Moodfamily.

The songs stretch the imagination and touch the borders of hip hop and electronic beats. He intertwines his own musical journey with the sounds of his hometown. It is also the attempt at a new genre by blending hip hop elements with electronic music to create something unique.

This funky fusion expresses itself in three original tracks. “What We Witness” introduces us into the rhythmic exploration of the record. It adds some spicy P-Funk vibes and blurs your senses with drowsy horns, served on a velvet platter. "Toledo" - the first single of the EP - gives a thrilling continuation to the EP. This one is sure to cause a ruckus on the dance floor. Finally, “Keep Rollin” further defines the genre-blending character of this project, and gives a slight nod to the West coast of the US.


Xinobi (Lisbon, Portugal / Discotexas) and Mosley Jr. (Gent, Belgium / Moodfamily) deliver some exciting remixes to the EP, both with their unique signature spin.

- “This shit’s gonna break the rules.



Early support from Support Super Flu, Audiofly, Acid Pauli, Florian Rietze, Maxim Lany, Be Svendsen, Maga, Iorie, Stavroz, Paco Osuna, …

(Lawrence, AMyn, Dewalta remixes) efficient club tune for the early hours including remixes by Giegling's Lawrence, Moodfamily's AMyn & a terrific intricate minimal techno trip by Dewalta.


TRACKLIST
A1. Baba Yaga (original mix)
A2. Baba Yaga (Dewalta’s Birdtwitch Remix)
B1. Baba Yaga (Lawrence Remix)
B2. Baba Yaga (AMyn Remix)
B3. Baba Yaga (Varaz Alternate Mix)

INFO
Varaz returns with a thundering revelation of growling synthwork. Baba Yaga, his second release on Moodfamily and is accompanied by remixes of none other than Lawrence (Giegling), Dewalta & Moodfamily's very own AMyn.
Lovers of Berlin's nightly hours will certainly feel Baba Yaga's purpose. It's exactly how a boogeyman is supposed to come across, slightly haunting, in dark rooms, surrounded by smoke and people dancing as if they are summoning the demon of the early hours.
Terribly awesome, horrifically effective yet it feels like divine intervention. Hauntingly beautiful.
