Beginning with the jazz-rock group Placebo in the 70s, Moulin later formed the electro-pop act Telex, which represented Belgium at Eurovision in 1980. As a solo artist, he merged jazz with electronic and downtempo sounds, collaborating with artists like Sparks and Lio. His production, marked by complex instrumentation and atmospheric depth, solidified his reputation as a key figure in both jazz and electronic music. Whether drawing from the cool jazz of the 60s or the laid-back grooves of 90s chillout, Moulin&#8217;s music transcends genre boundaries. On this album, the music explores a subtle interplay of muted trumpets, congas, and guitars, blending sensual, smoky vocals with a deeply rhythmic pulse. There&#8217;s an unmistakable touch of classic jazz, reminiscent of legends like Wes Montgomery and George Benson, while the rhythms pull you into a more contemporary space, aligning with the downtempo beats that were popular in the 90s. Tracks like &#8216;Into The Dark&#8217; and &#8216;What?&#8217; unfold with a breezy yet intricate sense of rhythm, offering both chilled vibes and moments of tension. &#8216;Organ&#8217; offers a groove-heavy track, with its jazz roots merging seamlessly with a funk-infused, hypnotic backdrop. The bonus remixes serve as a fresh take on these original compositions. From the midnight mood of &#8216;Organ (Cosmos Midnight Express Remix)&#8217; to the deeper house flavour of &#8216;Into The Dark (Karma Fever Reminiscent Step Remix)&#8217;, these remixes take the core of Moulin&#8217;s vision and deepen it, offering something for both the jazz enthusiast and the dancefloor. This release crystalises a rich moment in Moulin&#8217;s career as he updates the familiar jazz and downtempo idioms with the intricate, soulful grooves of funk and electronic experimentation, keeping his sound vital and relevant.<\/p>\n<p>Label: Music On Vinyl<br \/>\nFormat: limited numbered gatefold 180 gram audiophile orange vinyl 2xLP<br \/>\nCat: MOVLP 3839C<br \/>\nReleased: 23 Apr 25<br \/>\nGenre: Broken Beat\/Nu Jazz<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.juno.co.uk\/products\/marc-moulin-top-secret-expanded-edition-vinyl\/1080619-01\/?ref=motionfm&#038;utm_source=affiliate&#038;utm_medium=affiliate&#038;utm_campaign=affiliate_dashboard_referral\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>BUY<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Track List: <\/p>\n<p>Side A<br \/>\n1 Into the Dark<br \/>\n2 What?<br \/>\n3 Bottle<br \/>\n4 Theo<\/p>\n<p>Side B<br \/>\n1 Organ<br \/>\n2 In My Room<br \/>\n3 Tenor<\/p>\n<p>Side C<br \/>\n1 Day Fever<br \/>\n2 It&#8217;s to Say<br \/>\n3 Feet<br \/>\n4 Organ (Midnight Express Remix By Cosmos)<\/p>\n<p>Side D<br \/>\n1 Into the Dark (Reminiscent Step Remix By Karma Fever)<br \/>\n2 Tenor (Fall Remix)<br \/>\n3 Organ (Headhunter Remix By la Malice)<br \/>\n4 Into the Dark (Deep House Remix By la Malice)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Marc Moulin&#8217;s long career, establishing him as a pioneering figure in Belgium&#8217;s music scene, continues its journey on this release, with &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":20594,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[16],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/motionfm.com\/wp2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20593"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/motionfm.com\/wp2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/motionfm.com\/wp2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/motionfm.com\/wp2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/motionfm.com\/wp2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=20593"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/motionfm.com\/wp2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20593\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":20595,"href":"https:\/\/motionfm.com\/wp2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20593\/revisions\/20595"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/motionfm.com\/wp2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/20594"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/motionfm.com\/wp2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=20593"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/motionfm.com\/wp2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=20593"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/motionfm.com\/wp2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=20593"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
