Some years later, charme evolved from an awaited moment of a night to a whole movement of parties just playing that kind of music. On this record I tried to make something that brings this emotional feeling to my music in a modern way.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMuch like the original genre-not-genre he drew inspiration from, Zopelar’s approach across his latest LP spans different moods and tempos. There’s blissful, sultry mystery lingering around ‘Clara’ and ‘Do You Feel?’ while OSAGIE lends some chops to the exquisite, Rompler-powered synth funk of ‘Chain Net’. The lead singles ‘Shibuya’, ‘Charme’ and ‘Passado’ all tap into varying shades of deep house, from slinky City Pop-tinted loungers to peak-time dance pop and Larry Heard-influenced flavours, with the constant being Zopelar’s immaculate production and the unbridled warmth of his compositions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContinuing the Latin-rooted theme of the album, the artworkconception of Charme was realized by multidisciplinary artist and curator Ode, showcasing a popular style of street paintings made by anonymous artists throughout Latin America.

Ritmo Freak took root in studio experiments for a momentous — and rare — live set at São Paulo festival Não Existe in 2023, where Zopelar was caught up in one of those right-place, right- time moments we carry with us through life. As he explains himself: “This album is dedicated to freaky club culture. While I was playing at the festival there was a crazy tropical storm outside and the room was packed with the freakiest crowd. I’ve tried hard to immortalize that feeling on this record.” With the intended energy in mind, Zopelar focused on a particular mode of production centred around 12-bit sampling from his ample record collection. Considering his background as a trained pianist, here his musical instincts are forced to work within the limitations of short, snappy cuts from dusty 12”s. The lo-fi sound sources and the resourceful ways Zopelar works them gives the record an unmistakable old-skool flavour which he applies to forthright house, techno and electro funk rhythms, always taking care to draw out the soul of the music.The stylistic touchstones flow past thick and fast on Ritmo Freak. From the amped up fierceness of the title track with its gaudy, cut n’ paste, vintage techno flavour to the effervescent electro funk of ‘Gabriellinha’s Boogie’ on to the surreal Balearic inversion of ‘Distraction’, this is a high-velocity, endlessly charming record bursting with the musicality Zopelar has made his name on. As the driving force behind many warehouse parties in São Paulo,Zopelar has been immersed in club culture for a long time, and his distinctive catalogue of jazz, funk, acid and techno has graced highly respected labels like Apron, Selva Discos and Mother Tongue. Throughout, he’s displayed an affinity for the tangled roots of the groove with an open-eared, big-hearted sound.

It also serves to highlight how much time has passed, and how much has changed. 2018’s follow-up \u003ci\u003eLo Siento Mucho Pero No Hablo Tu Idioma\u003c\/i\u003e was a step into many other musical approaches and made clear Graef didn’t want to rest on the broad appeal of his earlier funked-up, jazz-sampling house sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eNatural Element\u003c\/i\u003e is the sound of an artist more at ease with the parts of his legacy which hold true, and those he wants to let go of. But there absolutely is funk to be found on Natural Element. It’s in the low-slung chill-out of ‘Sports (Is Good For You)’ and the nagging synth-slap-bass underpinning ‘Around The Globe’. But the glue which holds the album together across all kinds of tempos and energies is a shimmering, organic psychedelia — dreamy chords and artful sonic brushstrokes which gleam out of the mix. It’s a quality universal across the aqueous beauty of tropical breakbeat roller ‘We are the World (Test Drive)’ and the cascading slo-mo ecosystem of album-opening double-act ‘Sound Bytes’ and ‘Zitar’. Casting one ear back to that landmark debut LP feels like listening to an entirely different epoch, not just for Graef but for music as a whole. What’s heartening is that the magic which made Graef stand out back then is still absolutely present and correct in his new guise. It would be far less rewarding if he was just trotting out more of the same formula, after all. As he says himself: “There is nothing worse than stagnation and conformism. I still am the same person, my ideals and values have not changed much, but my influences and approaches have.”\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tartelet Records","offers":[{"title":"Black LP","offer_id":50428593570123,"sku":"2194798","price":22.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/TARTALB022_TARTALB022_Artwork_93bf2afd_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726833771"},{"product_id":"honeycomb-1","title":"Honeycomb","description":"\u003cp\u003eWith his roots in Assam, northeast India, and his hustle now based in Brooklyn, the psychedelic soul-savant known as Jitwam drops his second album on the Copenhagen-based label Tartelet Records. \u003ci\u003eHoneycomb\u003c\/i\u003e hits the sweet spot between jitwam’s work in dance music and efforts as a bandleader, connecting people in studio and on-stage.
