Fluid Funk is kicking off festival season with a bang, launching their brand-new compilation series, ‘Fluid Files’. The first installment, ‘Fluid Files Volume 1’, features a stellar lineup of both familiar faces and fresh talent, delivering a trio of tracks that are sure to get your body moving.
Reggie Dokes Kicks Things Off with “A Minute of Time”
The EP opens with Reggie Dokes’ laid-back yet captivating “A Minute of Time.” This track immediately draws you into a “cottony sonic bubble” with its intricate, Afro-funk-infused polyrhythms and tape-delayed chords. A jazzy saxophone and hazy synth textures create a truly sensuous and hedonistic atmosphere, setting the perfect tone for the compilation.
Orlando Voorn Delivers Dreamy Dancefloor Vibes with “Running Slow”
Next up is label stalwart and Dutch techno and house legend Orlando Voorn with the exquisitely vibrant “Running Slow.” This string-laden house chugger is a masterpiece of orchestration, featuring cinematic violin movements, a poignant piano melody, and a dynamic momentum that will have dancers floating in a dreamlike state. It’s a perfect blend of functional machine funk and elevating, otherworldly vibes.
Sykes Rounds Out the EP with the Soulful “Our Love”
Closing out the package is multi-faceted Rotterdam artist Sykes with the shuffling boogie number “Our Love.” This track is a heartfelt tribute to Chicago’s soulful, slow-burning grooves. With its silky smooth piano line and enveloping vocals, “Our Love” effortlessly draws you into the zone. Its easy-going rhythm promises to make it a go-to track for DJs this summer and beyond.
