IAMNOBODI Maputo Dance

Here's a woozy groove named after the capital of Mozambique off Elevated, the new album from Düsseldorf's IAMNOBODI. Quite a cheerful track, with a quickly rising beat. As Soulection explained, IAMNOBODI's intention was "to shed light on inspiration to create no matter what sort of living environment you're immersed in." Music that uplifts -- we're into that.

IAMNOBODI's sound slides the spectrum of the beat scene, from deep vibes like Bel Air (don't miss the solid outro) to more soulful R&B like Amel Larrieux's For Real remix. Jeff over at Earmilk probably explained the feeling of listening to his music best:

"Imagine yourself walking into a German nightclub"”you're wearing a leather jacket with too many zippers, and you're the most attractive person, ever. The bartender says something in German, snaps his fingers, and slides you a drink. This ... is playing when you walk in."

Elevated dropped on October 1. You can listen to the full album on Bandcamp. The label behind the album, Soulection,  has been carrying the flaming torch for all things neo-soul. Keep on top of them via their website.
