Just received this one from Bear Funk. Soirée, labelowner Stevie Kotey’s new project with Max Essa is a real beast that fuses all the good bits from balearic house, disco, funk and anything soulful. The title tune “Zim Zim Zar Zar”, a freaky minimalist arabesque house piece with Max Essa uttering magical nonsense a la Sim Sala Bim, is an instant classic. “Overgroomed” has just the right amount of lazyness you want your dancefloor to always have. “Day to Day Life” has amazing spoken bits by Max Essa on top of an unstoppable cinematic groove. Highly versatile album with top quality songwriting from head to toe – something you rarely get from dance albums these days – you should definitely give it a go.
