Malive, Morgado, Gogoia, Gabriel Paes 'Quintal' on Madorasindahouse Records

Riding high after the release of Emanuel Satie and Tim Engelhardt's remix of Malive's 'Quintal' on Madorasindahouse Records, the track has already found an early champion in Super Flu, who placed it sixth of 10 in their Believe chart on 22 Jul.

Out since 19 Jul, the original is a warm and uncluttered piece of Afro house from Malive, Morgado, Gogoia, and Gabriel Paes, in which percussion keeps a steady conversation with the low end. There is no crowding, no thinning, and no needless volume, just a clear, bright finish that gives each element room to speak.

The remix, from Emanuel Satie and Tim Engelhardt, adds a fresh momentum for the dancefloor. Satie, with over a hundred releases to his name and a home across Get Physical, Defected, and Innervisions, brings an assured touch. Malive, meanwhile, continues a steady run of releases that have found a natural home on Diynamic and Get Physical, and here, as on those records, the result is a groove that feels both considered and alive. With Super Flu's nod of approval, expect this one to be heard in the right places as the season hits its stride.
