For the first time, an album that talks about humans, emotions, and Fakear. It is both filled with nostalgia and hope, love and anger, loneliness and celebration. A sort of autobiography that draws its roots from his teenage years as a skater / metalhead / emo kid who struggled to find his place in the world, while the adult writing it pretends to be certain that it’s all good now, that he's happy, that he has found his role, his destiny. An album full of contradictions, where the lightness of the title contrasts with the intense emotions expressed in the music. Everything is darker, more festive, and more extreme, just like the most vivid and memorable emotions are.
what you made was probably the most rewarding song for Hausmane to produce, despite being one of his most minimalist tracks. Hausmane wanted everything to feel warm and intimate. The guitars, the vocals, the woody textures in the beat... every element is there to make you feel as close as possible to what the song is trying to say. He wanted the production to leave space for the emotion without overdoing it — like the song is sitting right there next to you.
This track holds a special place within the album’s universe. Conceived as a turning point between late afternoon and the beginning of the evening, it unfolds through a natural balance between funk and house, with the ability to accompany a transitional moment while setting a soft and warm energy.
The piece is built around the meeting of acoustic percussion, programmed guitar, and enveloping textures, carried by a choir and the Fender Rhodes, Blanka’s instrument of choice. Together, these elements create an organic, luminous, and deeply inhabited atmosphere.
Rue des saveurs is a vibrant tribute to one of the most emblematic places in salsa culture: Calle del Sabor in Cali, Colombia. A true temple of dance and popular music, this legendary street inspires a track that captures the overflowing energy of Colombian nights, where percussion resonates until the early hours and salsa is part of everyday life.
“Rivoli Street” is a collision of bass music, rap, and techno brought to you by Oskar and LK9. A powerful and slightly offbeat, club-oriented track, accompanied by an official music video, a Spotify Canvas, and visuals designed to complement the track's dynamic atmosphere.
This track was born when Fakear switched his old machines back on. Chopping up a sample the way he used to, adding a few chords - there’s really not much to it, and that felt good. Simplicity and spontaneity. He realized he was spending more and more time polishing tracks for hours, and this one felt like a breath of fresh air. The sound choices reflect that too: it’s an almost lo-fi track, written on a winter day, wearing slippers, with a big coffee by his side.
Don Yaya offers two tracks built for the club, with a powerful UK Garage sound and touches of hip-hop. "Roadman Riddim" is a track inspired by Speed Garage, a genre Don Yaya adores. It has an old-school sound with an aura that evokes UK Garage culture from the very first notes. "Everybody Say" maintains this old-school feel but incorporates rhythms closer to 90s Hip-Hop. Its second drop returns to a more UK sound with a very fat bassline influenced by Skeptic tracks.
Moka Only and Blanka team up on this hip-hop jazz-infused track. Expect classic hip-hop drums blended with jazz guitar and Fender Rhodes played by live musicians. It's the perfect bridge between these two musical worlds, allowing them to share their musical journey and discover, over the years, what hip-hop and jazz bring to their souls and life experiences.
Two powerful and hypnotic tracks by Soumaé, melting speed garage with caribbean rythms!
The first single from the album, Guayas opens the journey as a tribute to Guayaquil, Ecuador, where it all begins. Carried by sun-soaked deep house, warm textures, and a slow groove, the track moves gently and captures that very particular feeling of the first days: when everything is still blurry, yet already intense.
