Stefan Ringer and Marquinn Mason return with another collaborative offering, a four-track journey born from rhythm, friendship, and creative exchange.

Opening the release is "Bossa Beat," a slow-burning groove inspired by the warmth and intimacy of bossa nova. Built for movement and connection, the track blurs the line between dancers and strangers, inviting everyone into its hypnotic pulse. Effortlessly inviting and undeniably addictive, it's the kind of record that lingers long after the music stops.

"Bounce" picks up the pace with a jazz-infused house workout packed with soul and intention. Relaxed yet undeniably energetic, the track captures the chemistry between Ringer and Mason while reflecting on their shared experiences in Marseille. Ringer's lyrics celebrate their creative partnership and the spirit of discovery that inspired the project. As the song reminds us: Good Motion & Good Energy.

On "Moving Steady," cosmic boogie takes center stage. Anchored by a driving bassline and crisp percussion, the track transforms the dance floor into a steppers' paradise. Soulful, spacious, and undeniably funky, it provides the perfect backdrop for Ringer's expressive vocal performance, where cosmic soul and groove converge.

Closing out the EP, Ben Hixon delivers his interpretation of "Moving Steady." Reframing the original through a tropical Latin house lens, he elevates the groove with rolling percussion, hypnotic low-end, and vocals that glide effortlessly across the mix. Built for peak moments and late-night sessions alike, Hixon's remix turns an already infectious track into pure dancefloor currency.

Created during a week-long artist residency in Marseille, France, these recordings capture a unique moment of artistic exploration and collaboration. The residency culminated in a live performance featuring more than ten original compositions written and produced during the week, showcasing the creative spark that fueled this release.
From Atlanta to Marseille, Ringer and Mason continue to build bridges through rhythm, proving once again that groove speaks a universal language. Good Motion & Good Energy.
