FAVOURITE

Aldorande  is a band of five groove adventurers, led by their founder and captain Virgile Raffaëlli, who are pushing the boundaries of music with boundless passion and unparalleled instrumental mastery. After two critically acclaimed albums, the group returns with "Trois", the final chapter of their cosmic trilogy, recorded on tape at a prestigious Parisian studio.

"Trois" is an epic album, driven by bold instrumental explorations and waves of celestial choirs. Drawing inspiration from the 70s fusion movement, it honors the genre’s masters while adding a unique, contemporary twist. The galactic textures and sophisticated arrangements transport the listener on an unforgettable astral journey.

Once again, Favorite Recordings has poured its heart and soul into this album. Every note, every arrangement has been meticulously crafted to capture the essence of that era, with a relentless drive to ensure that every step of production and recording stays as true as possible to the genre’s iconic references.

On drums, Mathieu Edouard lays down a killer groove that leaves no one indifferent. Florian Pellissier, on keyboards, unfolds an interstellar sound palette with a spectacular collection of instruments: Fender Rhodes, Yamaha CP-70B, Moog Minimoog Model D, Sequential Prophet 5, ARP Solina String Ensemble, Roland Juno 106, Roland Jupiter 8, and Oberheim OB-8. On percussion, Erwan Loeffel scatters a jungle of intoxicating rhythms. Laurent Guillet, on guitar, fires off hypnotic, irresistible riffs, while Virgile Raffaëlli, on bass, anchors the entire experience with deep, melodic bass lines that give the band a captivating and unique dimension.

Get ready to take off with Aldorande  and their album "Trois", which promises to take you beyond the stars.

STAFF COMMENTS

Matt says: Frenetic jazz-funk from this French collective who've more than a casual penchant for old school synthesizers. Alongside the electronics, the instrument playing is second-to-none; making this a heady brew of modern grooves delivered by the good folks at Favourite.

Magic Source

Voodoo Ray / Interplanetary Bounce

Magic Source is back with an exclusive 2 tracks single filled with their special rootsy cosmic funky touch.

Led by producer & notorious tape operator Björn Wagner (of Mighty Mocambos, Bacao Rhythm & Steel Band and Mocambo Records), the group follows up to the release of their 2nd LP last year, "Voyage Spectral". This time again, the German band dives into the tropical and international aspects of disco and funk music, always using 100% organic production and recordings material.

On this two track single, you’ll first find blazing and unexpected covers of “Voodoo Ray”, the classic acid-house track by A Guy Called Gerald, with special vocals by Mounam & Gizelle Smith. Following up to this already dancefloor classic, comes “Interplanetary Bounce”, a new and exclusive composition from the band also tailored to make you move, with its boogie touch and heavy breaks. Unmissable! 

STAFF COMMENTS

Matt says: Taking cues from Psychederek's cover of "Pacific State", we get another Manchester acid house anthem given a jazz-funk twist.
