Operating under his Orion Westbrook alias, Venturi man Olivier Azemar delivers two killer cuts of funk-infused house with serious groove. On Side A, Pasadena's Moniquea brings her unmistakable blend of singing and rapping to a modern boogie beat that results in something smooth, bold and effortlessly stylish. Despite only meeting once, her chemistry with Westbrook is electric and clear to hear. Flip to Side B and Mae Rojas from Cee-O-Funk steps in with a silky r&b vocal that rides a cosmic, bass-heavy groove. The tune is both intimate yet danceable and, like its A-side, blurs the lines between club and cruise with future funk and soul freshness. Got Payfone vibes all over it this one
