Lui Mafuta presents This Ain’t Jazz, a boundary-pushing new EP that fuses live musicianship with electronic sensibility—an exploration of jazz influence through a deeply personal and collaborative lens. The release is available on digital platforms and as a limited vinyl edition. At the heart of This Ain’t Jazz is a long-gestating idea: to bridge electronic music with an organic, band - oriented aesthetic. Lui Mafuta reunited with four longtime friends and collaborators - Paul Janoschka, Felix Roos, Jonas Esser, and Benedikt Jäckle - who all studied music together in Mannheim before scattering across the globe. Under the loose collective named Weiller, they came together once again to create a sound that lives between genres. The EP is a globe-spanning production. Piano was recorded on Paul Janoschka’s Steinway in his Frankfurt apartment; trumpet and clarinet were tracked in a rural French studio with Felix Roos; drums came from New York via Jonas Esser; and saxophone was laid down in Lui’s own studio in Mannheim alongside Benedikt Jäckle. All elements were finally assembled and shaped into a cohesive vision back in Mannheim. “There’s less synth work on this one than usual,” Lui says. “Most of the textures come from the instruments themselves and a lot of sample mangling. I wanted it to feel raw, human, and alive.” Despite its title, This Ain’t Jazz is a love letter to jazz’s influence. “I called it that just to be safe,” Lui jokes. “It isn’t jazz—but it’s coming from that space.” The project also serves as a reconnection to his roots: two of the four featured musicians are teenage friends from his earliest days making music.

When Berlin’s Jacob Groening and Barcelona’s Lennart Nicolas join forces, something special happens. Their new track “Solara Mira” is a dreamy, sun-soaked piece of chill-out music that showcases their shared passion for warm textures and laid-back grooves. A track full of feel-good energy and subtle depth, “Solara Mira” drops on December 5th on Tori Music – a label dedicated to soulful, authentic sounds.

On New Year’s Eve 2024, I had the honor of playing a DJ set at Réveillon Duna – an extraordinary and exclusive celebration held in the stunning Lençóis Maranhenses, Brazil. The festival took place in a protected reservoir hidden within the dunes of this surreal desert landscape, making it one of the most unique and unforgettable locations I’ve ever played at. The production was absolutely world-class: intimate, thoughtfully designed, and carried out with so much love and attention to detail. The crowd was incredible – kind-hearted, open-minded, and extremely welcoming. It was an absolute joy to be part of this experience. I had so much fun playing my set and I’m truly happy to finally share it with you. 🎧 You can now listen to the full set on all Platforms Track Id: @lui_mafuta [soon on @kamai_music ] #DJSet #ReveillonDuna #LençóisMaranhenses #DesertFestival #NYE2024 #ElectronicMusic #FestivalVibes #DJLife #DeepTech #HouseMusic #KamaiMusic

The first track Mangrove Swamp is the spice in this ep. Playful, sweet staccato reverb sound pieces dance with a pulsating bassline. Followed by the title track „Tsubaki' which is framed by 3 elements: Energetic organic drums, Acid basslines and Dreamy pads. Sold! Medina showcases Nhii's longtime experience as a producer, tribal shuffling synths try to catch the kick drum surrounded by a dramatic wild east oud pattern. As the cherry on the cake, Namito delivers a strong remix of Tsubaki, but sometimes a bassline says more than words, pls HEAR IT LOUD!
