Awon Iye

Magic Black is happy to share with you this third release by already featured label artist LAROYE. This very particular ep showcases this time his talent to do an unique mixture of afro, lapsteel guitars and yoruba inspired theme and grooves. This ep's roots are deep in the collaboration with Maïa Barouh, whose magnificient flute playing abilities give a soulful afro driven groove and a cosmic touch that reminds us the best hours of Clausell or Chez. Her playing on Awon Iye was very inspiring for Martin Iverson, better known as Atjazz, who picked the tune and turned it into a blasting uptempo broken jazz fusion that he can only create.The opening track is also a must have track which breaks barriers between house, bossa, lapsteel and dreamy vocals. Already a Favourite for many radio deejays. Last but not least, Basamsike is a deep driven afro conga track with vocals coming from a beautiful Malian singer who stays secret for now. Here you have cosmic, groove, melodies and uncommon patterns all together in the best way : definitely what Magic Black has always came for.
