{"product_id":"games-change","title":"Games Change","description":"\u003cp\u003eBoogie Angst is proud to present the first EP by newly found duo Marcel Vogel \u0026amp; LYMA.\n\n\u003ci\u003eGames Change\u003c\/i\u003e is a collection of songs written about the wonders of childbirth, and how this can affect\nthe relationship that made the child happen in the first place. Drenched in a healthy serving of Soul and\nFunk, Games Change is the groovy parent's anthem, and perhaps a roadmap for those about to become\none. Sometimes the themes are wrapped in innuendo, but often times they pronounce it blatantly in your-\nface.\n\nHaving released two stellar singles prior to this full EP offering, Marcel Vogel and LYMA have quickly\nsparked interest in the appropriate corners of the music world, with their already signature brand of\ngenre-mashing greatness.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\nDJ'ing across the globe, remixing the likes of Hot Chip, Phenomenal Handclap Band and Flamingo Pier,\nor A\u0026amp;R'ing releases on his own record label Lumberjacks In Hell, Marcel Vogel is the good vibe guru.\nFuelled by the dance floor connection, Marcel offers up an eclectic blend of Disco, Soul, House and\nGospel. Amsterdam-based LYMA is an RnB and Soul powerhouse. Also, part of the LIKEMINDS\nensemble, LYMA skirts the genre borders with his eclectic mix of moveable goodness.\n\nThe EP opener Funk Money launches the manifesto with an expensive, forward-moving groove.\nExuberant synth stabs bounce off highly static Electro-like leads—moving it into prime-time, drive-time\nradio territory. After opening up in exceptional fashion, we find the sexual breakout single Head Back In\nThe Game. An enticing mid-tempo'd bounce lures us in, right before a vocal delivery reminiscent of a\nplethora of 70s Soul crooners seals the deal. Syrupy chordal movements guide us through several\nswanky passages describing the willingness of sexual resurgence and a desire for a sexual return to\nform, so to say. Next we find the previously released Keep On Stepping. On this, a luxuriously\nsyncopated and heavily saturated bass line lays underneath a washed out vocal cut. After which, a guitar\nriff reminiscent of early Prince makes friends with a rather ambiguous synth stab. All whilst the hypnotic\nanalog hi-hat pattern fills in the blanks. The second part of the song introduces some interesting Acid\nHouse inspired elements, but firmly planting them in their own world. On Cruisin' we find a hypnotic,\nalmost sample-esque motif, over which the tasteful Acid House reference rears its head again. Round,\nbut sharp in message, Cruisin' is a metaphor for taking the best feeling directions in life. Pop My Cherry\ndrops all the innuendo and gets straight to the point; sexual prowess front and centre. The Teddy\nRileyesque closing tune is a perfect summary of the EPs mission statement, in that the duo holds no\nholes barred.\n\nOverall, Games Change is ferociously lustful, sexually charged and smooth-as-butter. It just knows how\nto twist, bop, wine and dine us into loving Marcel Vogel \u0026amp; LYMA even more—even though they didn't get\nmuch sleep last night.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Boogie Angst","offers":[{"title":"Black 12\"","offer_id":51245845381451,"sku":"2016254","price":19.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/test_6127fdb4_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1739228569","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/products\/games-change","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
