Hands Up EP by Marian (BR)

Hailing from Brazil, Marian weaves the rhythms of his home country into every track. With releases on Hot Creations, CUFF, and Deeperfect, plus his standout seven-track EP "Marian Moods" on Mood Child - backed by Joseph Capriati and Marco Carola - his momentum keeps building. After appearing on Hottrax's "Jams Vol. 1" alongside Yolanda Be Cool and Fast Eddie, he now steps up for a solo return and delivers three dynamic cuts mixing old-school vibes with new-school energy.

This EP was really inspired by Jamie Jones' sets - the music he plays, the energy he creates, and the tracks I love to listen to and play myself. It's a fusion of old-school and new-school, blending a lot of styles mixed in these three tracks with a powerful bassline in all of them and a touch of Latin sauce.

Up first is "Hands Up," a slinky house mood with punchy beats and warping rhythms vibrating through its core. "No Paramo" follows, injecting a playful funk with rolling percussion and crisp bongo accents, nodding to his Brazilian heritage. Closing out, "Keep On" strips things back to a refined, understated groove, balancing deep bass tones with smooth, effortless movement.
