Of course we can’t resist the smoky, late-night vocals delivered across caustic basslines and the telling drums of this new single by HUMANS. It’s all that and more touching at sensibilities and a possible range of emotions that don’t neatly occur all at once. Musically The Feels also contains some beautifully sculpted sound effects and

Hello and welcome to Magazine Sixty Ricardo. Love your new release for Music For Freaks: SA-2 EP. Can you tell us about the idea behind the title for the EP and where it came from? Hello! SA-2 is a basic and super cheap model of a little keyboard. I bought it in a market in

Fusing together the elements that have made House Music just as vital and exciting now as then is this explosive number from Ricardo Baez. So let’s break it all down to bare essentials: pounding kick drums, smouldering basslines, nagging synthesizers plus neatly addictive voices all compound the formula perfectly. Add to that a remix from

If the title alone isn’t enough to get readers of Magazine Sixty elevated in anticipation I don’t know what else might be. This brilliantly enjoyable romp through music that defined its own space outside of American R&B veers between the charming synthesized melodies of Party Talk by André De Koning right down to Front 242’s

And this is precisely why I love this label. It can release music of such tranquil, melancholy perfectly realised for the moment like this, then by the next breath pulverising, brutal structures. Zeb Wayne returns to the fold with this emotionally drenched blend of dramatically enriched vocals care of Ziwi plus an amalgamation of finely

The second instalment from Cari Golden’s sizzling label sees Los Angles producer Translucent deliver music that is high on life, high on feeling. Featuring the yearning vocals of Frankie Diaz whose heavily treated expressions underpin this series of blistering Acid infused rhythms notably. Love the sheer audacity of this unforgiving yet thoroughly funky exploration of
