tour-maubourg: dreams ep
Francisco Espregueira
Floating somewhere between late-night introspection and dancefloor glide, Dreams EP arrives as a natural next step for Tour-Maubourg. Known for threading jazz sensibilities into deep house frameworks, his sound has steadily matured since earlier releases on labels like Pont Neuf Records and Noire & Blanche. Here, that signature palette is again very refined. Soft keys drift over steady grooves, while subtle improvisations give the tracks a lived-in, almost conversational feel. There’s a patience to his production, shaped as much by crate-digging culture as by club intuition.
Released via Noire & Blanche, Dreams EP expands its world through thoughtful collaborations, including contributions from Kareem Ali, Nic Hanson, and Cyan Lu. Each guest adds a new shade without breaking the flow, keeping the record cohesive and dynamic in our sound system. It’s music that breathes, equally suited for headphones or dimly lit rooms. Compared to Floating on Silence EP, there’s a deeper sense of identity here, less about proving and more about settling into a groove. Tour-Maubourg doesn’t rush the moments. He lets them unfold, one warm chord at a time. Available on vinyl.
