Degiheugi Returns With Endless Smile 2

French producer Degiheugi released Endless Smile 2 on April 24, 2026, a 16-track tribute to his 2015 album Endless Smile that housed early career highlights like "Betty."

The album focuses on instrumental compositions enriched with samples and organic textures inspired by the 70s, veering through Brazilian nods ("Ipanemax"), cumbia-dub hybrids ("Juanita Bonita"), and melancholic trip-hop. Recorded between 2023 and 2025 in his studio Endless Smile Records and mixed by longtime collaborator Mr. Gib, the project sees horn sections led by N'Zeng and organic keyboards immersing listeners into his musical world.

The album closes with "Enivrez-vous," an outro inspired by Charles Baudelaire's poem, circling back to the literary sensibility that's always threaded through Degiheugi's crate-digging practice.

Out now on Bandcamp and streaming platforms.
