Our friends from great label Endless Flight from Tokio asked Mat le Munk if he wants to do an EP on their label. He didn’t think twice as we all love what the guys of Mule do. Mat sent them some of his weirder new stuff he did this year… and here it is: The Yes! Yes! EP.
3 tracks full of cut up vocal bits, John Scofiled kind of melodies and fucked up bass lines. This is not disco at all. This is like jazzfunk going spaced out in 3333.
Out now via Kompakt.
