Regular members of the Ohxala Records family : To Ricciardi and Magupi join forces for the Velvet Ep.
This creative relationship results in 2 track Ep with a outstanding Remix by Kekonoma (Ohxala/Magupi).
Velvet Ep fuses melodic and organic elements with deep electronic sounds in a cross-genre between organic house, downtempo, and dub.
Green Velvet takes us on a organic melodic journey with African percussive rhythms and melted synth layered grooves. The Talented Portuguese guitar player João Morais known as (O Gajo) adds the unique sound of the Viola Campaniça (a traditional Portuguese guitar) to the original track.
Kekonoma takes the original and with their unique footprint delivers a dance floor oriented banger.
Blue Velvet presents a dubby bubbling bassline fused with rolling drum breaks and etheral vocals taking us on a downtempo journey.
