Mario Luciano & Lauren Santi

Mario Luciano & Lauren Santi – Shades Of Mauve (Madlib Invazion Music Library, MILS008). Library‑grade soul engineered for samplers and cinema alike: plush Rhodes, hushed strings, brushed drums and Santi’s wordless harmonies drifting through analog haze. Conceived by Madlib and Egon’s MILS series as a licensing‑friendly palette, the album also stands on its own—a suite of miniatures that evoke ’70s European library LPs and modern lo‑fi soul in equal measure. Sequenced for needle‑drop inspiration, it’s a producer’s playground and a deep‑listening gem for fans of texture, mood and melody.
