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 Brooding “Outside Observer”

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. 

So far, I’ve written about two 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” is 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.

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.
