soulphiction: 24/7 love affair
Francisco Espregueira
Dusty grooves and soulful emotions form the foundation of Soulphiction’s new album, 24/7 Love Affair: a fantastic selection of 17 bumping house tracks, taking influences across jazz, hip hop and afrobeat realms. Soulphiction (a.k.a. Michel Baumann) - one of Germany's most respected artists who is also known under the equally successful and iconic alias Jackmate - masters both mood and texture on this intense release, curated by Local Talk Records.
24/7 Love Affair constantly builds and drops a dancefloor momentum, from ecstatic and funky feelings to more soothing sounds. Executed to perfect precision, the album is perfectly suited for an introspective listening as it is in a club setting, flowing with a purposeful care combined with a storytelling blend of emotions rarely heard in a house music album. While the whole project is available digitally, 24/7 Love Affair is divided through three separate parts on vinyl. Part 1, Part 2 & Part 3, courtesy of Local Talk.
