Uto Paradise "Call Me"

Sounds from Switzerland

12/12/2025 |

“Call Me” by Uto Paradise is a buoyant, meticulously crafted slice of electro-funk that struts with the confidence of a 70s soul revue filtered through a 21st-century lens. At just under three minutes, the track delivers an irresistible cocktail of rubber-band basslines, crisp guitar chops, and a groove so smooth it turns even the most mundane moments—like eating supermarket sushi in a parking lot—into cinematic vignettes. The Swiss trio masterfully channels retro vibes without falling into pastiche; instead, they infuse their sound with a playful modernity, blending analog warmth with digital precision. The result is music that doesn’t just soundtrack your day—it elevates it.

Formed in 2019 by longtime collaborators Michel Spahr (guitar), Severinf Graf (bass), and Maxime Paratte (drums), Uto Paradise thrives on handmade detail and joyful experimentation. “Call Me,” the title track of their third album, exemplifies their ethos: music made with care, curiosity, and a wink. Following the warmly received “Cheap Drinks” (2021) and “Surprise Enterprise” (2023), this latest offering solidifies their signature blend of funky rhythms, vintage textures, and contemporary flair. Uto Paradise doesn’t just evoke nostalgia—they reimagine it, creating a sonic paradise that feels both intimately familiar and refreshingly original. Put it on, and suddenly, you’re not just walking—you’re leading the scene.
