The debut release from Thanksmate on Soul Express Records, SEX001, is a journey into the deep and groovy side of house music, blending 90s influences with contemporary, sophisticated club sounds. Across the six tracks, the record moves between lush, dreamy melodies and hypnotic, driving rhythms that create an immersive experience both for the dancefloor and for introspective listening.
The EP pulls from a wide palette of inspirations: the raw energy of early Chicago house, the emotive textures of Balearic beats, and the gritty funkiness of Italo house. Each track brings its own vibe—some leaning towards warm, soulful grooves, others more minimal and punchy—while staying true to the Thanksmate signature sound: elegant yet playful, with a focus on analog textures and timeless vibes. SEX001 feels like a love letter to late-night sets, where subtle details, storytelling, and deep cuts reign supreme.
