In association with Goldminds International, Maison De Funk are proud to present physical editions of Acquired Taste from Breeze Mantana, with production by acclaimed Portland producer Trox.

In an era where playlists reward immediacy and algorithms chase virality, Breeze Mantana’s Acquired Taste offers understated style - this collaboration with producer Trox is less a commercial release than a curated experience—designed for those who sit with their music, who listen twice, who crave narrative over noise.

From the noir-tinged beats to the tailored verses, the album unfurls like a designer garment—sharp cuts, fine threading, and layers that demand a closer look. Trox’s production sets the table with soul-inflected loops and minimalist drums, giving Breeze the sonic space to reflect, reminisce, and reaffirm. Every song is served like a course in self-definition, with tracks like “Favorite Things” and “With Love from Miuccia” hinting at luxury but grounded in emotional storytelling.

Standouts like “Fiends Paradise” (featuring Marcus Stokes) grapple with addiction and ambition as twin forces, while “Keep Stirring,” a smooth posse cut with 100GrandRoyce and Maze Overlay, radiates hunger and camaraderie in equal measure. What ties it all together is Breeze’s delivery—measured, confident, and deeply self-aware.

Acquired Taste is a manifesto for those building something lasting. It rewards listeners who appreciate the details: the crackle in the loop, the double meaning in a throwaway line, the elegance in restraint.

For anyone drawn to music that values craft over clout, Acquired Taste is more than a project—it’s a palette cleanser.
