Tailored to breeze across dance floors with seamless panache, the new four-track delivery from Fluid Funk packs a mix of feelgood coastal vibes and slapping funk, right on cue for busy beach parties and Indian summer explorations.

Boasting an easy-going combo of dazzling synth shimmer and laid-back classic house shuffle, Simon Hinter’s “Waverider” breaks the EP in on a daydreaming note. Built around a steadfast kick and snare-heavy chug, Hinter’s bokeh-like sound design captures an oneiric headspace flush with brittle key modulations and gorgeous sun-streaked envelopes to wrap your ears around as the groove unfolds. Up with an even jazzier, cozier second cut, Ricky Tinez and Matt Wilde team up on the exquisitely lounge-oriented “Between Borders”. Cut from the silkiest cloth, the track oozes pure piano-laden voluptuousness laced with a transparent deep house sensibility, nimbly surfing the edge betwixt backroom hedonism and ethereal weightlessness.

Trading the opening cuts’ gentle cross-pollination of elated grooviness for a slightly more frontal approach, Klankarbeit’s “Cole” is straight out no-nonsense, pumped-up house NRG draped in a velvet shell. Absolutely lethal workout material bass-wise, the track alternates between its hi-impact, floor-focussed engineering and soothingly airy electronics bound to have your mind doused in proper cottony bliss. Last but not least, Ascension rounds it off with the slo-burning “Beyond” - a stripped-back live jam giving maximal space to languid proto-jazz chords, stealth bass maneuvers and cascading synth notes out a pixelated dream. Effortlessly swaying its way into serene, after-ready house territories, there goes a solar four-track package, sure to get the vibes pouring in unrestricted amount both on and off the dance floor.
