high vibrations

With its deep-house heartbeat, shakers swaying like hips, and airy synth pads that roll in from the sea, celebrated trumpeter Theo Croker floats jazztronica tempos into the cosmos on the single “high vibrations”. There’s an early sense of hypnosis that’s not rushed, just patterned and precise: looped pads swell in and out of phase while vocal-shaped synth textures hum overhead. By the time the glass-bottle percussion taps into the mix’s midsection, the track’s already gone from coastal pulse to cosmic sail.

Singer MALAYA pulls up sweet and sun-lit, all sugar tones and rhythmic lift. She rides the tune's bossa-house BPM as if she’s breezing through highway lanes with one hand on the wheel and the other out the window. She sings in sweet declarations, stretching out lines like “Beautiful pain / And beautiful pleasure.” Her voice flickering between the glow and the gravity of her lyrics. 

There’s a beat flip tucked mid-track that feels like the floor reshaping itself beneath your feet. D'LEAU (fka Brook D'Leau from J*DaVeY fame) trims the beat into something tighter and trickier. His synth leads skip like flat stones across the rhythm while Theo threads his horn through the commotion - dropping in lines that move sharp and staccato at first, then stretch into something warmer. 

By the final downbeat, the whole thing feels like a slow-motion spin through some Carnaval bloco—horns still flying, drums still dancing, bodies moving loose as the light fades out.
