Warm Nights

“Warm Nights” by Lucas de Mulder sets the scene for the summer solstice with bubbling grooves and reggae flavors. De Mulder recalls having “Fancy” by The New Mastersounds on heavy rotation over the course of a particularly hot summer in his hometown of Madrid, Spain, and pulling heavy influence from the spellbinding grooves on that tune. A standout element of the track is the interlocking guitar parts performed by De Mulder and Eddie Roberts. The two engage in a conversational solo section that melodically represents Roberts passing along the torch to new deep funk and boogaloo artists such as De Mulder while he holds court in the production realm. The track also features Chris Spies (keyboards), Nate Edgar (bass), and Alejandro Castano (drums).
