If you ever wished you could have the best elements of the jazz, funk and neo-soul genres combined into one track, Stefan Sands' "Downtown" has got you covered.

Opening up with a short buildup consisting of a siren and a catchy groove, the track immediately blossoms into funky and soulful madness. Wah guitars and jazzy brass phrases playfully alternate between left and right in a conversational fashion, while the storytelling of the vocal lines firmly holds the track grounded and smooth.

As part of the Catalyst EP, "Downtown" is only one of the four similarly flavored gems, so if you're digging the upbeat funky vibe, check it out below!
