Charmeine is an emerging electronic artist whose sound is driven by rhythm, intuition, and emotional clarity. With percussion at the forefront of her productions, she builds groove-led tracks where movement and feeling take precedence, creating a hypnotic and physical listening experience. Her music draws inspiration from the spirit of jazz, not as a genre, but as an attitude of freedom, honesty, and individuality. Approaching production as a personal and instinctive process, Charmeine creates without imitation, trusting her own taste and emotional response to sound. Her work reflects a deep connection between rhythm and feeling, where references to jazz culture serve as a source of inspiration rather than nostalgia. With Jazz, her debut release, Charmeine introduces a sound that is soulful, and deeply personal, marking the beginning of an artistic path defined by authenticity and creative independence.
Feeling extremely excited and proud for giving continuity to KEENE and Kaleta's release 'Ayessi', this time in collaboration with the internationally renowned music producer and composer Henrik Schwarz. It also includes an outstanding remix from one of our favourite artists 'Philou Louzolo', responsible for bridging the gap between afro diaspora sounds and House and Techno. Henrik Schwarz came up with two versions in wonderfully colourful fashion, sunny vibes and a triumphant feel that completely envelops this production, with shimmering disco hi-hats bringing the rhythm urgency and subtle strings and blips filtering away in the bedrock of the composition. A buzzing synth bores a tunnel through the centre of the groove while perfectly blending with Kaleta's vocals. Philou Louzolo showed his prolific production skills in all its glory with each element carefully positioned to keep things energetic, laying the foundation of a dancefloor bomb. It features an array of warm arpeggios that adds bright colours to the mix, with driving afro percussion pushing the track along with a gentle sort of power. Kaleta's vocals and blasts from sprightful trumpets were efficiently used bringing tension to the mix.
