Vintage Sutra, the versatile debut EP from All Good Record’s Muzzy Bearr, has been flooding music and social media sites since its release—and for good reason.

Kicking off the six-track collection is “Suede,” a fresh track with a smooth boom-bap groove. The intro is laced with flawless lyrics, delivered in unorthodox style by rapper Denmark Vessey.

Dan Hacker’s gritty guitar riffs and clever use of effects make the “Bougie” an instant future-funk classic. Also laying down his sweet, sweet sax sounds on the track, is All Good Record’s head-honcho GRiZ.

Also featured on the release, are Exmag, BRANX & Benny Bloom (The Shady Horns). “Radio Glider,” the product of this all-star collaboration, is sure to have you out of your seat regardless of your setting, therefore you must listen with caution.

The buttery outro to Vintage Sutra, “Seduction Cup,” keeps things at a chilled-out tempo while Muzzy goes to work shredding on his strings. As the EP fades to a close, you’re left wondering, simply “why can’t there be more?”

Vintage Sutra without a doubt competes for the year’s hottest electro-soul release.
