Disco and Jazz-Funk producer Maryag jumps back aboard The Disco Express with his latest incarnation 'Joy Frequency'.

_______________

Lead track 'I Will Dance' sets the tone for the EP with pulsating bass lines, shimmering keys, and tight, rolling percussion. A hypnotic groove underpins the track, while subtle brass stabs and synth flourishes add texture. The arrangement evolves organically, balancing deep funk sensibilities with forward-thinking production.

Following suit is FIFA World Cup inspired 'Mundial'. An anthemic fusion of global influences, Brazilian percussion, Afrobeat-inspired rhythms, and funk-driven basslines, its syncopated groove builds momentum, while layered horns and electric piano riffs push the track into peak-time territory. The result is a percussive, high-energy jam built for the Summer day time joy.

Sleek, driving, and packed with tension, 'Gimme Love' leans into Maryag’s poppier side. A rich, full-bodied bass line anchors the track between vocoded hooks, delayed guitars and warm pads.The track a oozes a late-night, neon-lit aesthetic, making it equally suited for club play and home listening.

Closing out the EP, '296' is a raw, groove-heavy instrumental driven by live musicianship. A locked-in rhythm section lays the foundation for expansive solos, with saxophone and trumpet leads trading off over deep, rolling bass. The track carries a distinct live energy, capturing the spontaneity and warmth of a jam session while remaining tightly structured for the dance floor.
