Two original house tracks. One unified message. Soulbound / Abracadabra arrives as a double single within our new XPRESS Singles Series, uniting the gritty South London soul with refined French-American house energy—a release crafted for those carefree moments on the dance floor.

In "Soulbound," Bustin' Loose delivers cutting-edge, disco-soul-infused house music straight from the concrete soundscape of South London. Sung and produced by Bustin' Loose himself, the track features a pulsating, elastic bassline, warm strings, and intense vocal emotion—modern house with classic soul DNA. Capturing the energy of London's rich musical culture, Soulbound is simultaneously energising, euphoric, and rooted in street music. Inspired by the music of Fatboy Slim, rappers like JME & Ghetts and London club culture.

On the other hand, Magnolia & Sam Karlson's "Abracadabra," featuring Los Angeles rapper Relaye, oozes French house sonics, blending refined filters, captivating wah guitars, and punchy grooves with razor-sharp rap vocals. Picture a fusion of "Music Sounds Better With You" and Q-Tip's charisma—hypnotic, stylish, and irresistibly repeatable.

The remix package further propels the release into club territory:
• Dam Swindle transforms Soulbound into a deep, driving underground cut, rich in groove and late-night atmosphere.

• Phil Weeks delivers his Ghetto Mix of Abracadabra, crafted on his beloved MPC sampler—raw drums, essential funk, and a clear nod to house music's roots.

• La Felix closes out with a deep nostalgic remix of Abracadabra, featuring sounds that hark back to the early 2010s, balancing modern refinement with timeless dancefloor warmth. [distributor's information sheet]
