Release Date: May 31, 2024



"With a bold flex of their increasingly supple A&R muscle - here we see NYC's prodigal sons, and chief-scene servers - fire up the every-fan seater, Nervous learjet; for an exclusive musical jolly to the ever-evergreen shores of Ibiza.



And stepping up to the soundtrack plate - box-fresh and powder dry, in their maiden outing for the label - is one, Bora Uzer. A new name to many eyes and ears no doubt; but, to have been entrusted by such a discerning stable, to handle one of their flagship, Ibiza facing, Summer releases - leaves little doubt as to how talented and safe a pair of club-primed hands we’re talking here.



First up, we have - ˙Magic Kind˙ - a track that manages to be many things all-at-once, without the fussiness, pretensions or persona issues that often come in tow. It terms of club dynamics - it packs a brand, simply pitch-perfect and made-to-measure for the hallowed terraces of Ibiza; whilst the tone, approach and melodic character harnessed - manage perfectly to encapsulate, in one tight 6 minute morsel - that rare and singular kind of magic, only ever truly felt on a white-isle dance-floor. At its core is a steadfast and thickset rhythm section; through which an expansive, undulating bass-line flows freely throughout; whilst - adding that beatific, Balearic sparkle above - is an instrumental menagerie of free-roaming strings, wind and percussion.



Snapping at its heels on the flip meanwhile, is ˙Street Love˙; a track full of verve, that’s doused in that same lush, enveloping warmth, that much of classic era Detroitian House, so readily pedalled. With its bounding bass-line; stout, compact beats and rousing 808 snare rolls - it’s a far more heads-down and urgent affair than its sibling.



However, the gratifying technical glue binding both cuts together here, is firstly in the crisp staccato stabs that pepper each stave with a refreshing 'live-cut' looseness, and ad-hoc regularity; and secondly - via a loving hand - the way in which many of the sounds have been washed, ever so gently with delicate reverb and gating.



Aspects which, overall, only serve to further crystallise that air of sun-shocked, blue sky-cloaked romance… leaving you gagging to hear both numbers, in their rightful, Mediterranean club-setting this Summer, at the next given opportunity.”
