Celebrating its 10th release, Esquimau welcomes French producer Saint Paul with the jazzy and refined EP 'Are You Jazz?' Co-founder of Moonrise Hill Material, alongside renowned house figures Folamour, Kaffe Creme, and Ethyene, Saint Paul channels his deep-rooted influences of jazz, into a release that perfectly embodies the label's warm aesthetic. The title track 'Are You Jazz?' is a horn-driven composition, blending smoky brass arrangements with steady house grooves. Its smooth flow makes it suited for intimate lounge settings and sun-drenched garden sessions, balancing dancefloor energy with laid-back groove. On remix duties, Justnique reinterprets the title cut from a broken beat perspective. Gradually unfolding into a classic house framework, the remix is beautifully adorned with dubbed-out jazz textures, adding depth and movement while maintaining its organic feel. Closing the EP, 'Jammin' leans further into deep house territory. Built around warm Rhodes progressions it delivers a groove-driven experience that rounds off the release with elegance.

French producer Saint Paul was raised in Lyon with Ivorian and French heritage and is now based in Reunion Island. He was a founding member of Moonrise Hill Material and continues to refine his style, which is infused with jazz, funk, hip hop and African rhythms. Though built for the dancefloor, it comes rich in introspection that marries energy and soul. This six-track EP on GLBDOM takes in the horn-laced New York house vibes of 'I'm Ur DJ', swinging MAW-esque kicks of 'We Can All Groove With It' and jazz-laced depths of 'Extreme Vibration'. It's an EP full of class and character with the late-night lounge sophistication of 'Elixir De Bons Souvenirs', another highlight.
