Inspired by the vibe at his monthly Vancouver residency, Better Days, DJ Luis Machuca has crafted the grooving house cut “Sounds Right” for his Friskybeat imprint. The track draws upon diverse house music styles — soulful, deep, jazzy, and afro-latin — which reflects Machuca’s multi-faceted DJ sets at the club night. “Sound Right” starts with an understated kick drum rhythm as swirling chords build. Percussion and handclap raise the feel, further enhanced by a crunchy baseline and a cool vocal drop. The track’s secret weapon is a live baritone saxophone by Dave Say, joining “Sounds Right” to provide a dose of jazzy melody. “Sounds Right” is a warm, cozy affair, perfect as the nights get cooler.
