manuel darquart: the del sol ep
Francisco Espregueira
Manuel Darquart, an aficionado of all things delightful, graces us once again with musical production duties based in very recommendable sonic influences in The Del Sol EP. This four-track wonder, dropping tomorrow on Wolf Music Recordings, seamlessly blends italo, boogie, and deep house textures, conjuring visions of sun-soaked coastlines, the rustle of Guayabera shirts in the breeze, and the cool embrace of an icy beer in hand.
Darquart's signature style is a celebration of joy, evident from the vibrant synths and enchanting chords that illuminate the opening track, "Jerry's Song," showcasing the artist's mastery in crafting sonic celebrations. As part of Wolf Music Recordings, a true gem in the UK's independent label landscape, Manuel Darquart's new EP stands out as proof of his artistic finesse. "Del Sol" beckons with a deep house rhythm infused with Balearic vibes and new age melodies, perfectly tailored for beachside sundown dancing. The remix of "Del Sol" by Space Ghost adds a club-ready dimension while maintaining an air of fantasy so characteristic of his work. Closing the EP is "The Vibe," a jazzy deep house gem radiating with love. As Wolf Music hits its 71st release and celebrates fifteen years in the music game, Manuel Darquart’s The Del Sol EP is a record to play and revisit. Available on vinyl.
