A new imprint surfaces: Playbook, distributed by Kompakt, arrives with its debut release — a limited edition vinyl-only EP that announces a clear and confident sense of direction from the outset.
Four tracks spanning dreamy, vocal-led deep house, Detroit-infused warmth and deep, driving soulfulness, the whole record carrying an anonymity that lets the music speak entirely for itself. Recommended listening for anyone drawn to Ben Kaczor, Leafar Legov or Moodymann.
Angel Edit opens with the kind of vocal-led warmth that sets the tone immediately, while दुनिया का राजा and Free carry the record through deep, driving territory with soulful conviction. The closing Moonchild shifts register entirely — a whimsical, nostalgic close that drifts somewhere more reflective, its melodic character lingering well after the needle lifts. A confident and quietly compelling debut from a label worth keeping an eye on.
