Through a clap-on/clap-off global pandemic, the liminal mindscape inherent during a paradigm shift, and lots and lots of absurd weather, French Press Lounge dips below the equator to link up with young Brazilian producer André Pádua aka dedeco.

Many moons ago I was sent a rather nice email along with some rather nice tunes by a rather nice Brazilian fella. Instantly dedeco's music connected with me: a classic New York-meets-French house sensibility tied together with tape warmth, melancholy melodies, and N64 soundfonts. Imagine if Pete Heller's Big Love grew up playing Bomberman Hero and Snowboard Kids while listening to Daft Punk and this would likely be the debut record of such an amalgamation. Full-on 64-bit pumped-up joy tracks! Its a pleasure to finally share these tunes :-)
