Taken from "Statues - Lost Star EP (MM Discogs)".  March 31st 2023. Buy here https://mmdiscos.bandcamp.com/album/lost-star

The Sun, that magical star that provides energy and vitality, aims to hide from us and disappear during the long, dark winter times. Perhaps all things in the universe need a break and maybe that's why it is lost during this period. But just a little frame of time, cause he always come back to shine more than ever.
Fronted by Bradley Lucke and Mark Crooks, UK collective Statues has definitely established in the MM Discos family signing the last release by doing a very special tribute to the sun.
"Lost Star EP" is lysergic, melancholic and dreamy. Starting far away, light years away from us with the cosmic, repetitive and ascending rhythms of "Conney Island".
"Lost Star", the EP's title track, constantly pursues that dreamy feeling proposed in the first track, although it escapes into a much more organic but equally psychedelic terrain.
The EP takes a break and lowers the tempo a little with "The Becoming", taking it towards areas where "the ambient" is the protagonist, how proud Brian Eno would be about it. Closing the EP "Club Love", pure balearica-psychodelia.

ttbc027 - Duncan Gray - Nodcast - (clip) [Bandcamp Only Release]

The landscape took their breath away - as far as the eye could see huge trees soared into the air, set against a backdrop of mountains and soft billowing clouds. This was the first day of several months they'd spend living out here in the wild; something of a departure from the urban jungle they'd always known. They couldn't wait to immerse themselves in these surroundings, to forget the outside world and be at one with nature...

At the beginning of the year Crazy P announced a series of EPs on 20/20 Vision which sees the group handpick their favourite artists to share new original tracks. Following two instalments which have featured tracks and remixes from Ashley Beedle, Felix Dickinson, A Certain Ratio, Sarah Bates and more, they deliver volume number three which rallies ALFOS' Hardway Bros, Polish artist Das Komplex, French selector Lea Lisa and Red Rack ‘Em for a collection of sounds that touch on Balearic vibrations, cosmic grooves and classic deep house.

Taken from "Marshall Watson & Cole Odin - Just A Day Dream Away EP  (Shades of Sound Recordings)". Out July 09th 2023. Buy here : https://shadesofsoundmusic.bandcamp.com/album/just-a-daydream-away-2

Crowdfunding : https://qrates.com/projects/29172-just-a-daydream-away

Marshall Watson and Cole Odin take a break from their solo output to come together on the ‘Just A Daydream Away’ EP, each delivering two unique original tracks comprised of chugging psychedelia, folky rock elements and sun dappled balearica. Remixes come in the form of Hardway Bros. whose refit channels an early nineties indie-dance rework, coming across like a classic lost Screamadelica track. The second remix from Joe Morris leans into the psychedelia, delivering an acid soaked sunrise experience.

Teen Daze flips the energy of the original to a languid pace for a more poolside atmosphere. Cool electric keys and sparkling chords add a dreamy, hazy quality to the music. Embracing the dream house aesthetic of the original, the Desert Island Disco version offers up a breezy house vibe that moves with an energetic pace, introducing cool piano hooks and breathy vocals. Pleasure Voyage take a nostalgic turn, transporting us back to the heady days of Rimini with a fun italo-house rework packed with irresistible grooves.

'Pili Pili' is the legendary band of Jasper van´t Hof from the 80s / 90s.  

In 1984 he presented the  project, which is still successful today, in which European jazz is combined with African music and danceable grooves. The title track of the first LP, a 15-minute trance production with African drums, made him famous overnight on the dance floor of the club scene. Singer Angelique Kidjo was discovered and Pili Pili played in changing line-ups in Europe for 20 years. In 1998 the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung wrote: “The Afro Beat by Pili Pili is more than just a fashionable exotic colour. Its originality is combined with instrumental virtuosity that is unique to jazz. Pili Pili houses rock and funk under one roof. ” 'Dance Jazz Live' is the title of one of the Pili Pili CDs and still the group's motto."  (taken from Afro-Jazz-Fusion State Jazz 2018 Press release)

In the words of @JepeJustJohn ...

'I got in touch with Pili Pili on a tour to Innsbruck and then North of Italy, Bolzano in 2010.  It was on the radio randomly playing in the car whilst we were driving. I managed to get the name and fell in love with the whole album. I have to be honest that i never have heard about them before. I felt like i was crate digging in a record shop when I discovered that pearl. In my version, I wanted to play it a bit faster and with a more powerful beat, so decided to make an edit. It took me some weeks until i was happy with the result without killing the vibe and the structure of the awesome original. Somehow, I sometimes think that editing some great tracks is a sort of "sacrilege" with art... Nevertheless... this was the result:)'

Well we loved it and hope you do too. If you want to get your hands on the original you can do so here - https://www.discogs.com/Jasper-Van-t-Hofs-Pili-Pili-Hoomba-Hoomba/release/2759074
