New Audio: LutchamaK Shares Propulsive Banger “Extra Information”

French electronic music producer and JOVM mainstay LutchamaK continues to be restlessly prolific with the recent release of the four-song Extra Information through Urban Kickz Recordings‘ Special Series.

Extra Information as the JOVM mainstay explains features material that’s slightly slow in pace, richer in tone and layered with color. The result is an EP that specifically focuses on grove, while proving that you can be hypnotic without having to make frenetic material. The EP’s latest single, title track “Extra Information” showcases the French producer’s commitment to melodic house, pairing a chopped up vocal sample with rolling, propulsive beats and warm synth textures. “It’s restrained but alive – subtle melodic fragments and atmospheric detail weave through the rhythm, giving the track depth beyond its tight framework,” LutchamaK says.

The result is a song that’s both club and lounge friendly, while nodding at Kraftwerk and “Rhythm Is A Dancer“-era Snap!

New Audio: LutchamaK Shares Dreamy “No Right Or Wrong”

French electronic music producer and JOVM mainstay LutchamaK further cemented his reputation for being restlessly prolific with the recent release of the five-song Libra EP. 

Libra EP features opening and title track “Libra,” and the EP’s latest single “No Right Or Wrong,” sees the JOVM mainstay effortlessly balancing in-your-face swagger and skittering boom bap with dreamily ethereal yet soulful synths. And much like its predecessor, “No Right Or Wrong” manages to be simultaneously lounge and club friendly.

New Audio: JOVM Mainstay LutchamaK Shares Ethereal and Soulful “Libra”

French electronic music producer and JOVM mainstay LutchamaK further cemented his reputation for being restlessly prolific with the recent release of the five-song Libra EP.

“Libra,” the EP’s opening and title track is a deep house banger, anchored around a hypnotic and rave-friendly motorik groove, broodingly atmospheric synths, skittering boom bap., electronic glitch and robotic vocal samples. Channeling Larry Levan, Kraftwerk and Between Two Selves-era Octo Octa, “Libra” manages to be simultaneously ethereal, soulful and dance floor friendly.

New Audio: JOVM Mainstay LutchamaK Shares a Glitchy Banger

French electronic music producer and JOVM mainstay LutchamaK continues to be remarkably prolific. His latest EP, the four-song Coming Back 4 U was released through RZ Muzik.

The EP’s latest single “Know Dis” is a swaggering club banger, anchored around dense layers of glitchy and energetic synth arpeggios and a futuristic, somewhat vocodered vocal sample. While continuing to showcase a producer, with an unerring knack for crafting catchy and enormous hooks, “Know Dis” is a subtle refinement of the song he has established over the past few years — with song nodding at footwork and other underground styles.

New Audio: LutchamaK Shares a Slick, Deep House Banger

French JOVM mainstay LutchamaK‘s latest EP, the four-track  Hybrid EP sees the prolific producer continuing to bounce around several different styles and genres of electronic music, all while showcasing an uncanny ability to make it cohesive.

I’ve managed to write about three of the EP’s singles:

  • EP title track “Hybrid,” a slick synthesis of joyous Larry Levan-like house, and glitchy, industrial-leaning Detroit and Berlin-like techno that slaps hard.

  • “Innsæi,” a swaggering banger that recalls Tour de France-era Kraftwerk and John Carpenter soundtracks paired with some glitchy, retro-futuristic synths. 

  • “Outside Observer,” a brooding and subtly menacing bit of house featuring skittering, tweeter and woofer rattling hook, atmospheric bass synths, glitchy oscillations and a spoken word vocal sample. While reminding listeners of the JOVM mainstays uncanny knack for sleek productions paired with razor sharp hooks, “Outside Observer” continues a run of remarkably cinematic yet club friendly material.

“What We Do” sees the French JOVM mainstay crafting a deep house-meets-Tour de France-era Kraftwerk production featuring stuttering boom bap, shimmering synths and glistening oscillations with a retro-futuristic vocal sample. Out of the EP’s four singles, “What We Do” may arguably be the EP’s most direct and straightforward deep house banger.

New Audio: LutchamaK Shares Swaggering “Innsæi”

French JOVM mainstay LutchamaK returns with the four-track Hybrid EP. Released today through Chicago-based Urban Kickz Recordings Special Series, the French JOVM mainstay’s latest EP sees him continuing to bounce around several different styles and genres of electronic music, all while showcasing an uncanny ability to make it all cohesive. 

You might recall that I recently released about EP title track “Hybrid,” a slick synthesis of joyous Larry Levan-like house, and glitchy, industrial-leaning Detroit and Berlin-like techno that slaps hard. The EP’s latest single “Innsæi” is a swaggering banger that recalls Tour de France-era Kraftwerk and John Carpenter soundtracks paired with some glitchy, retro-futuristic synths. But interestingly, “Innsæi” may be the most cinematic track of the JOVM mainstay’s growing catalog.

New Audio: LutchamaK shares a Glitchy, Club Banger

French electronic music producer and JOVM mainstay LutchamaK begins 2025 with the Want U Back EP. Released through Brique Rogue, the five-song EP features an eclectic assortment of material with the JOVM mainstay bouncing around American Techno, Break Acid, Tech House and 80s Italo disco. 

Earlier this week, I wrote about Want U Back single “Stack 104,” a track that saw the French JOVM mainstay meshing elements of glitchy house with old school breakbeats and meaning synths to create a song that’s swaggering yet deeply soulful.

The EP’s second and latest single “Hibiscus,” continues in a similar vein — glitchy house but anchored around skittering, tweeter and woofer rattling thump and bursts of vocoder’d, radio fuzz-like vocal samples. It’s a big, club banger meant to get your ass moving.

New Audio: LutchamaK Shares Soulful “Want U”

French electronic music producer and JOVM mainstay LutchamaK has had a busy 2024: 

  • The JOVM mainstay began the year with a two-track release through Techno Parade titled Job Done, which featured “Job Done,” a glitchy and swaggering bit of techno meets footwork featuring machine gun-like skittering beats, glistening synth arpeggios paired with tweeter and woofer rattling thump. It’s an accessible and euphoric club banger meant to be played loudly and meant to encourage you to dance and sweat.

  • He followed that up with Flip the Funk, a four-track EP, which was digitally released through British electronic label Biotech Recordings and featured EP track “Pride,” a lush and soulful bit of deep house-meets-techno that reminded me of house music nights on WBLS back in the day. 

  • Then there was the standalone track, “Acid Drift” a slick, seamless synthesis of tribal house, deep house and drum ‘n’ bass that slaps hard while being dance floor friendly, which was released through Rue des Trois Rois Records.

  • Over the summer, he released the eight-track mini album  Great Broken Masses of Land through his own TERMusik. The album featured album opener and album title track “Great Broken Masses of Land,” a trance-inducing, late night, club banger anchored around skittering tweeter and woofer rattling thump and dense layers of oscillating yet melodic synths, a chopped up mantra-like vocal sample paired with his unerring knack for incredibly catchy hooks. “City Energy,” a crowd pleasing, club banger featuring glitchy oscillations, bursts of glistening synths and some industrial, tweeter and woofer rattling thump that showcases an artist, who actively pushes his sound and approach in new directions, while still remaining wildly accessible. And “B Queen V 2,” which featured glitchy oscillations, bursts of glistening and melodic synths, skittering beats and remarkably catchy hooks paired with a dreamy vocal sample. 

Last month, the JOVM mainstay released the four-song Lunar Ascending EP, which featured: 

  • “Lunar Ascending,” a woozily hypnotic banger that’s heavily indebted to Detroit house and a bit of Tour de France-era Kraftwerk.

  • “Healing Dub” is a synthesis of trance-inducing dub and house music that features glistening synth stabs with skittering, tweeter and woofer rattling riddims paired with a reverb-soaked patois vocal sample. 

LutchamaK closes out 2024 with the C10Cl10O mini-album and the Altered Oceanic Climate EP. 

C10Cl10O featured “1989,” a a melodic bit of house that sounds inspired by Larry Levan‘s Paradise Garage DJ sets — but with a modern feel.

Altered Oceanic Climate EP single “Want U” continues the Larry Levan-era deep house inspired vibe with the song anchored around a skittering boom bap-driven groove, atmospheric synth blasts paired with a chopped up soulful vocal sample and a euphoric hook. House music all night long, y’all!

Continuing a remarkably prolific period, the French producer and JOVM mainstay recently released the eight-track mini album Great Broken Masses of Land through his own TERMusik. “The whole thing is more dance floor than sofa listening,” LutchamaK explains. 

Throughout the week i’ve written about about two of the album’s singles:

  • Album opener and title track “Great Broken Masses of Land,” a trance-inducing, lat night, club banger anchored around skittering tweeter and woofer rattling thump and dense layers of oscillating yet melodic synths, a chopped up mantra-like vocal sample paired with his unerring knack for incredibly catchy hooks.

  • “City Energy,” a crowd pleasing, club banger featuring glitchy oscillations, bursts of glistening synths and some industrial, tweeter and woofer rattling thump. While continuing to see the JOVM mainstay play with and mesh several different styles and subgenres, “City Energy” not only accurately evokes its title, but shows an artist, who actively pushes his sound and approach in new directions while still remaining wildly accessible.

Clocking in at a smidge over six minutes, “B Queen V2,” Great Broken Masses of Land‘s latest single continues a run of late night club bangers. And much like its predecessor, features glitchy oscillations, bursts of glistening and melodic synths, skittering beats and remarkably catchy hooks paired with a dreamy vocal sample that bursts out from the mix. “B Queen V2” manages to be a subtle refinement of his firmly established sound that retains the melodic yet crowd-pleasing quality he’s best known for.
