The IT EP

There’s more to Brazil than feathers and samba. This EP draws from the cozy dance floors of Leblon, Maresias or Buzios. Ideally, you should feel surrounded by lush vegetation and imagine that you¿re dancing on a wooden deck with slender, tanned creatures dressed in white.  You’re likely not there now but this EP will give you a feel for “It” nonetheless. Rulian Ross initiated this sunny fantasy for his third release on Minoi Music. A well-rounded, polished Deep house track; Clavs and drums softly take you on a tour. Minoi Family powers their version of the track with an old-school kick/hats combination and pushes the envelope of standard filters and effects. Finally, newcomer Festina Lente from Italy remixes The It with an extravaganza of synths and a defining lead trumpet.

Magical EP

Magical is the new project of the Minoï Familly, remixed
by B. Original. It all began with two friends jamming a deep, old-school track. Jo then decided to ask his friend B. Original, owner of Pin Up recording, to soup the track up and give it the Deep flavor “made in the U.S. of A.” that is so influential to Minoï Music. Jo also bounced the track to Rulian who gave it the surgical edit treatment for a minimal version that might well par with acclaimed EP “La Main” on the dance floors.
