Picture this: sunset on a Tulum beach, salt in the air, percussion rolling like distant thunder, and a velvet vocal whispering “All My Love” right into your soul. That’s exactly the vibe Oktave and Brazilian songstress MARENNA bottled up in their brand-new single on Palosanto Records.
If you’ve been chasing that perfect blend of tribal afro house, melodic house, and late-night chill grooves, stop scrolling — you just found it.
Released just days ago, “All My Love” is already picking up massive early love from the scene’s heaviest hitters: Keinemusik, Marten Lou, Samm, Francis Mercier, and the whole MoBlack crew are hammering it in their sets. When those names back a record this early, you know something special is cooking.
Let’s talk about the track itself. The intro hits you with deep, rolling log drums and ethereal flutes — pure ethnic hypnosis — before MARENNA’s smoky, emotive vocals glide in like warm Caribbean wind. The bassline is fat but restrained, leaving plenty of room for those intricate tribal percussion layers to dance around. Around the 2:30 mark the melody lifts into this shimmering, almost spiritual breakdown that feels like the musical equivalent of watching bioluminescent waves at midnight. It’s melodic house at its most emotional, afro house at its most polished, and chill house at its sexiest.
Oktave (real name hidden in mystery, French roots, now NYC-based) has been quietly building one of the most exciting underground movements in New York through his Palosanto parties. If you’ve ever stumbled into one of their warehouse or rooftop events, you already know — the man has an ear for blending organic instrumentation with modern electronic production in a way that feels both ancient and futuristic at the same time. His travels through Mexico and Europe shine through every transition.
Teaming up with MARENNA was a masterstroke. The Brazilian vocalists have been dominating the global house scene lately (think Maz, Vintage Culture, Mochakk collaborations), and MARENNA slots right into that lineage with a voice that’s equal parts sensual and haunting.
Honestly? This is the kind of record that soundtracks your summer romance, your 4 a.m. afterparty comedown, and your next flight to Ibiza all at once. It’s climbing Beatport’s Afro House and Melodic House charts for a reason.
Stream “All My Love” everywhere now — Spotify, Apple Music, Traxsource, Beatport — you name it. And if you’re in NYC, keep an eye on @palosantonyc because their events are straight fire.
