“Modern Life,” the upcoming EP from resourceful Brazilian producer Encanto, emerges like a half-remembered dream from the flickering projector of a midnight cinema. Set to release on the Mexican powerhouse Kyma Komplex, this five-track voyage melts acid, deep house, and Balearic hues into a Lynchian palette – where the mundane twists into the surreal. Drawing from urban solitude and the liminal space between sleep and wakefulness, the EP stitches together hypnotic basslines, ethereal pads, and cinematic progressions, crafting a soundscape as suited for dimly lit clubs as for solitary drives through rain-slicked streets. It’s a sonic tapestry woven with threads of nostalgia, longing, and the eerie beauty of the uncanny.

Premiered here, “A Whole Life,” the opening cut, is a paradox – both luminous and weighted, like sunlight filtering through closed blinds. Its buoyant kick drums and achingly tender melodies create a push-and-pull between euphoria and quiet sorrow, a dance-floor daydream with an undercurrent of yearning. The track doesn’t just invite movement; it demands emotional surrender, wrapping the listener in a groove that feels at once intimate and expansive. This is House Music with a heartbeat, pulsing with the quiet magic of a moment suspended in time.

You can find (and buy) this and other music pearls on the Bandcamp page of the label.
