Coming soon: Breakbeat

Review: From Marseille, DJ Marrrtin and Deheb return with a break-heavy jazz-funk weapon that nods to blaxploitation cinema, dusty library cuts and 90s beat tape aesthetics. Cuts like 'The Punch' and 'Funktionaries' come laced with classic breakdance flair, built around taut snares and wiry guitar stabs, while 'Tambourine'-featuring Boston's Saucy Lady-adds shimmering disco sparkle to the mix. There's a playful, chase-scene energy running through 'Cold Blood' and 'Jet Raw Tool', with smoky organs and wah guitars trading blows, and 'Payback Run', co-produced by Fusik's Felix, strikes gold with tightly-wound basslines and cinematic horns. 'Black Hole' and 'Cloud Ten' offer hazier psychedelic detours without sacrificing groove. Deheb and Marrrtin's solo time clearly sharpened their shared palette-this one feels live and vivid, but also precise. Like The J.B.'s filtered through a Madlib lens, it's music made for footwork battles, lowrider sound systems and anyone who still dreams in grainy VHS colour.
