Notes:
Released in-store at Rush Hour in the Netherlands on 22 October 2025.
A new drop from Louis Vega's own self-titled label is always guaranteed to get us interested. This one comes from his own live band project, Elements Of Life, which is inspired by greats like Cymande, Stevie Wonder and Herbie Hancock's Headhunters. Over the last quarter of a century, it has served up going musical delights across multiple sub-genres and here they start with a vibey cover of Brazilian band Black Banda Rio's 'Maria Fumaca'. John Coltrane's 'Giant Steps' gets the same treatment on the flip with edgy, unhinged jazz energy and mad solos all bruising out of the speakers and done up Rumba-style with guest Christian McBride on upright bass. Red hot!
