Marc Brauner - City Hopper (EP) [Gabu Records]

Dive into Marc Brauner's latest EP, City Hopper, and you are instantly transported. The beats echo the rhythm of an urban wanderer, an artist unafraid to dip his toes into new waters with every city he hops. The narrative of a musical exploration across late 2022 serves as the cradle for the tracks "City Hopper" and "Talk to Me," born from the back-alley beats of numerous cities Brauner graced. It's a physical journey translated into a digital narrative. Marc revisits the roots of classic house music, keeping the rhythm alive with his MPC Live2. The tracks exude a certain rawness, a direct reflection of an artist touching base with his roots. The track “City Hopper” is a euphonic diary of Marc’s nomadic musical trip, while “Talk to Me” serves as a prelude to his sets, setting the ambiance just right.

The concoction of loops, chords, and a funky baseline in the backdrop of chopped vocals. It’s the old school meeting the new in a modest yet striking fashion.
