Bustin' Loose / Magnolia & Sam Karlson / Dam Swindle / Phil Weeks - Soulbound / Abracadabra [The Disco Express]

Format: 12".
CAT: XPRESS107

Two original house cuts. One statement. “Soulbound / Abracadabra” arrives as a double A-side single within our brand new XPRESS Singles Series, connecting the rough-edged soul of South London with elegant French-American house energy: a release designed for those most exquisite moments on the dancefloor.

“Soulbound” sees Bustin’ Loose deliver cutting-edge disco-soul infused house music straight from the urban textures of South London. Sung and produced by Bustin’ Loose himself, the track moves on an elastic, potent bassline, with warm strings and raw vocal emotion: modern house with classic soul DNA. Capturing the energy of London’s extensive music culture, “Soulbound” is at once uplifting, euphoric, and streetwise. Inspired by the music of Fatboy Slim, rappers like JME and Ghetts, and London club culture.

On the flip, Magnolia & Sam Karlson’s “Abracadabra” featuring LA lyricist Relaye oozes French house sensibilities, blending shimmering filters, sticky wah guitars, and thumping grooves with razor-sharp rap vocals. Imagine “Music Sounds Better With You” colliding with the cool charisma of Q-Tip: hypnotic, elegant, and irresistibly repeatable.

The remix package takes the release even deeper into club territory:

• Dam Swindle transforms “Soulbound” into a deep and driving underground roller, loaded with groove and nocturnal atmosphere.

• Phil Weeks delivers his signature Ghetto Mix of “Abracadabra,” crafted with his beloved MPC sampler: raw drums, minimal funk, and a pure nod to the roots of house music.

• La Felix brings things full circle with a deep, nostalgic remix of “Abracadabra,” tinged with that early 2010s essence, balancing modern polish with timeless dancefloor warmth.
