Otherwise Records presents the ‘Phunkadelic’ EP, a new release by DJ and producer Marian that offers a sonic experience flowing effortlessly between Deep Tech and Minimal, crafting precise rhythmic journeys over subtle grooves. Featuring three original tracks – ‘The Phunkadelic,’ ‘Diskette,’ and ‘Late Night’ – the EP highlights the artist’s ability to balance technique and creative sensitivity, delivering compositions that evoke sophistication without losing their connection to the energy of the dancefloor.

Opening the EP, ‘The Phunkadelic’  adopts an organic bass groove, where synthesizers weave through percussive layers, drawing a connection to the roots of 70s funk and soul, filtered through the lens of contemporary electronic music. Meanwhile, ‘Diskette’ evokes the aesthetics of the early digital era, with meticulously crafted percussion and full-bodied basslines, blending mechanical clicks with minimalist pulses. Closing in style, ‘Late Night’ dives deeper into the nocturnal atmosphere, wrapping the listener in a dense ambiance, perfect for the peak-time moments of the night.

In ‘Phunkadelic,’ Marian reaffirms his ability to navigate between analog and digital spheres, while preserving the essence of the underground. The release not only explores the best of Deep Tech and Minimal but also channels a fluid and engaging energy, connecting the body to the dancefloor. This effort places the DJ and producer in tune with some of the most referenced names in these styles within contemporary electronic music.

You can now listen to the full premiere of ‘The Phunkadelic’ exclusively on When We Dip. Enjoy!
