nate08: furaha
Francisco Espregueira
Hold up. Needwant just released one of the best records of the end of 2022. Furaha, by Mumbai-native Nate08 combines a mixture of jazz, r&b, pop and dance music to create a lovely mix of chilled out and intricate compositions. The record producer, bassist and all round talent is clearly a groove-oriented funky head and that shows all throughout Furaha, presenting his most accomplished work to date.
After becoming one of the most interesting new acts in India’s independent music scene, Nate08 is able to find a very unique ‘voice’ in Furaha, laying the groundwork for success in other independent scenes across Europe. R&B and house influences make his productions instantly stick in your head as he combines the familiarities of classic records of the past with the energy and production techniques of the modern day. Furaha manages to strike a chord within a range of audiences with upbeat tunes and manages to blend all of this into pop like electronic bangers. Available on vinyl.
