Future hit 💥 I was lucky enough to grab a test pressing copy of the EP “Minima Bem Li” from Rush Hour and could not resist sharing my favorite song from it.
In his 5th release, Arp Frique keeps a rich colorful sound and his ability to team up with outstanding musicians, while exploring slightly different music genres (particularly Zouk in this case). This cocktail of uplifting songs comes at a the right time to make us travel to warm places, and I am certain that it will be a smashing success when released in October.
Hats off again to Antal from Rush Hour for harvesting such amazing talents of the thriving Amsterdam scene 🙇♂️

Louie Vega Feat. House Of Rhumba – Steel Congo (Roots Mix) – 2004
Going back to his Caribbean roots, this is a lesser-known and refreshing production from a leading figure of the NY House sound. The conga and steel pan instrumentation by House Of Rhumba provides a perfect beach party bliss at every listen.

Daniel Dimbas – Carnaval Soca (Antal Edit) – 2019
Another splendid discovery we can thank Antal for. Along with the almighty Palms Trax, the iconic boss of Rush Hour released 2 edits of songs taken from the “La Diferencia” LP by Guadeloupean Zouk legend Daniel Limbas. Both are great titles that will make the sun shine everywhere ☀️
