stefan ringer & marquinn mason: marseille sessions volume 1
Francisco Espregueira
Creative chemistry is one of those things that is almost impossible to fake. Stefan Ringer & Marquinn Mason’s unfold naturally on Marseille Sessions Volume 1. Recorded during an artist residency in the south of France, the EP captures the spontaneity of musicians sharing ideas in the same room. Atlanta producer Stefan Ringer has long blurred the lines between house, jazz, broken beat and boogie through labels like FWM Entertainment, while Marquinn Mason brings an equally soulful perspective to the collaboration, not shy in venturing in his saxophone to deliver a layer of smoky sexyness in the room. Together, they turn a week of experimentation into something warm, fluid and full of life.
Each track explores a different corner of that shared language. "Bossa Beat" eases in with understated elegance, while "Bounce" leans into jazz-infused house rhythms and celebrates the duo's creative connection. "Moving Steady" shifts toward cosmic boogie, pairing infectious basslines with Ringer's unmistakable vocals before Ben Hixon closes the release with a tropical Latin house remix that feels tailor-made for late-night dancefloors. Throughout Marseille Sessions Volume 1, groove remains the common thread, proving that when the musical conversation flows this naturally the result is often brilliant.Like this one.
