Out July 31 via SUNCTURE, the new single is FunkTide’s fourth outing on the imprint launched earlier this year by SUNORA
Sunora’s burgeoning SUNCTURE imprint continues its prolific run of releases in 2026 with Locelafalit, the latest single from label regular FunkTide, arriving July 31. Combining infectious house grooves with virtuosic trumpet work, Spanish spoken-word vocals and bold electronic textures, the new record further showcases the producer’s knack for crafting characterful club music that balances musicianship with dancefloor functionality.
Driven by punchy drums, a rolling low-end groove and distorted synth lines, Locelafalit unfolds through an evolving arrangement of layered percussion, hypnotic vocal phrases and expressive trumpet melodies. A standout trumpet-led breakdown injects the track with warmth and tension before giving way to a powerful return of its driving rhythm, resulting in a record that feels dynamic, playful and peak-time ready.
Blending organic instrumentation with crisp contemporary production, the single draws inspiration from house music’s timeless foundations while embracing a modern sonic palette. The result is a distinctive club cut that feels both familiar and forward-thinking, adding another compelling chapter to FunkTide’s growing catalogue on SUNCTURE.
Locelafalit marks FunkTide’s fourth release on the imprint, reinforcing his role as one of the artists helping define the label’s musical identity. Since collaborating with Sunora on SUNCTURE’s inaugural release, Echoes of Light, he has continued to showcase his versatility through the groove-heavy Hold It Right There and the disco-inspired collaboration Disco Voices. With Locelafalit, he once again steps into the spotlight with a solo production that highlights his instinct for infectious rhythm, memorable hooks and finely crafted musical detail.
Founded earlier this year by DJ and producer duo Sunora (the collaborative project of Chertkovski and Alar) SUNCTURE was created as a platform for groove-led, emotionally resonant electronic music rooted in warmth, atmosphere and artistic freedom. Since its launch, the imprint has steadily established itself through a carefully curated catalogue spanning melodic house, indie dance and contemporary house music, united by a commitment to timeless songwriting, organic textures and dancefloor-focused production.
From the label-launching Echoes of Light EP to subsequent releases including Hold It Right There, Sunset to Sunrise, Disco Voices and Kapir’s Fractal Ecstasy, SUNCTURE has cultivated a sound that is both cohesive and diverse, championing artists who prioritise musicality and authenticity over passing trends.
With Locelafalit, FunkTide delivers another confident statement of intent. Rich in groove, personality and instrumental flair, the single captures the producer at his most refined, seamlessly weaving Spanish spoken-word vocals, expressive trumpet passages, layered percussion and driving electronic production into a record built to leave a lasting impression on dancefloors throughout the summer and beyond.
FunkTide – Locelafalit is released on July 31 via SUNCTURE.
