Makebo stays firmly rooted in his unmistakable sonic identity with ‘Stolen Nights’, a release that quietly unfolds his philosophy through detail rather than declaration. Emotional depth isn’t handed over outright; it’s uncovered slowly, living in subtle shifts, atmosphere, and an ever-present sense of inner motion.

Released on Makebo’s own label Rubicunda, the composition evolves with patience, like a memory resurfacing in fragments rather than a linear narrative. A restrained, meticulously balanced groove anchors the track, allowing space for each element to breathe. Half-tones, textural tension, and understated melodic gestures form a palette that feels introspective and intentional.

Rather than pushing toward a defined climax, ‘Stolen Nights’ invites the listener to remain inside the moment itself. To feel the passage rather than anticipate the destination. It’s a deeply immersive piece that rewards presence, reflecting Makebo’s continued mastery of nuance, control, and emotional storytelling through sound.

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