WEALSTARR MARACANA

We’re absolutely thrilled to hear Parisian producer Wealstarr is back with new material. As with ‘Piu Piu’ from his previous EP, ITB2, this unique talent’s latest cut, ‘Macarana’, confronts us with a mutant and profoundly psychedelic strain of House. Blending a Baile Funk-inspired vocal hook, elements of Congolese dance music, glistening space-age synths and a throbbing rhythm section, the eclectic style of ‘Maracana’ is typical of his recently released EP, ITB3, which manifests as a celebration of multiculturalism, bringing together disparate global genres (and hopefully peoples) into a multifaceted yet cohesive whole. This celebration of multiculturism is also reflected in the lo-fi video for ‘Macarana’, paying tribute to Congolese music legend General Defao and his fabled dance moves. Global music for an increasingly global generation. -KJ
