The story:

Balearic DJs Chris Coco and George Solar started making tunes together a couple of years ago after a chance meeting at Ibiza Sonica radio followed by some deep chats about dub and the future of chill out music.
After a string of singles they decided to make an album based (loosely) around various rhythms for the basic inspiration. George, who is also an accomplished percussionist, made a list - Nyabinghi, Guaguanco, One Drop etc - and Chris added one of their own - Algaroba. 
The basic rhythm tracks were recorded in Ibiza, mostly drums and percussion, naturally, with a little added bass from Fly, who also, fortuitously, is the sign writer who made the cover image.
Various elements were added in Ibiza, Buenos Aires and London, and, after some digital wrangling an album of beautifully organic downtempo delights finally took shape.

Ken Fan draws his chill-out into murkier waters with new track ‘Under The Moon’.
The collaboration with vocalist Vicky Kroon marks the first taste of the anticipated forthcoming album from the Chinese-British artist.

‘Under The Moon’ →https://linktr.ee/musicfordreams

Normally known for trafficking in the blissful tones and sunny moods endemic to his Ibiza residence, the producer and DJ takes a different path with ‘Under The Moon.’ A bass thrums deep under the beat, carving out a hollow, skeletal sound, populated only by a vagrant guitar and Kroon’s ghostly vocals.

A gorgeous nocturnal drifter that takes us halfway to Portishead’s early work, while remaining within the boundaries of the artist’s home turf.  One that affirms our special expectations for the forthcoming album.

Copenema - Circus In Paris (ft. DJ Disse & WALTHER) - s0848

Electronic artist Grassskirt makes his comeback with new single ‘Starry Night’, an atmospheric guitar-laden downtempo cruise that perfectly soundtracks the feeling of summer approaching.
 
‘Starry Night’ →https://linktr.ee/musicfordreams

Grassskirt produces downtempo music with equal parts Balearic warmth and Scandinavian sophistication. Groovy feel-good beats with a penchant for the grand, cinematic motifs, created with a mix of acoustic and electronic elements.
 
Grassskirt, aka Jørn Kristensen, released the critically acclaimed album Hey Music Lover back in 2003 and has since focused on DJ’ing. Returning now to the Music For Dreams label, he is planning a second album, which is set to drop late 2025. ‘Starry Night’ is the first single from the album.

Supported by Koda’s Cultural Funds and Musik Forlæggerne.
