After his debut LP ‘Temmuz’, released at the beginning of last year, Houschyar is back on Macadam Mambo with his new album: a less danceable but more personal opus. Being locked up on the rooftops of Istanbul, Houschyar repurposed a satellite dish, making use of its perfectly round and concave shape to create strange metallic-sounding percussive loops which he painted with sonic atmospheres that contained diverse shades of blue. ‘Mavi’ is an introspective pallet of emotions condensed into 7 hybrid compositions highly improvised which divagate into a very jazzy modern state of mind, jamming with pianos, electronic organs and rhythm boxes to produce another type of spiritual music that sounds absolutely timeless. In a very prolific year - with his release with DJ Sofa and Okay Temiz on Music from Memory and the initial EP of Raphael Kosmos’ newborn label Späti Records -, Marius Houschyar leaves no doubt about the level of his talent and him being part of a new generation of artists to keep a close eye on. To discover as soon as possible!

Alleviated Records is proud to present the Dovie Cote' EP as well as to present his first release with us. This collaboration has been years in the making & we hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed working on it. Right off the heels of "The Storm" EP, this two- track EP delivers soulful, funk feels with some surprise additional flavors. "My Desire "takes you on a deep atmospheric journey of yearning and delight with a soulful bubbling bed of jazzy & tribal undertones alongside Dovies' warm floating vocals. "Change Lanes" offers a urban-soul-funk style in the tradition of groups like Slave, Cameo or The Ohio Players. We hope you enjoy these selections at the club and at home for a long time to come. Musically Yours...
