The daylight was breaking, the rise of a new dawn. Soon the shadows and darkness of the night would be replaced by radiant blue and little white fluffy bubbles which danced across the sky.

The sun and clouds were a beautiful thing, it were as if they seemed to restore balance in an otherwise uncompromising and chaotic world. They watched down upon as all, hoping to ignite the warmth and glow of an individual below.

Today might just be the day...

Pleasure Voyage have been remixed by a collective array of producers on a new remix EP for MM Discos. Material from 'Sun & Clouds' has been reimagined by the likes of Sofa, Statues, The Vendetta Suite and Gallo.

It is the Gallo remix which we bring to you today, a track to lose yourself within its beautiful wandering melodies and dreamy sensibilities.

The bubbles were hypnotic and mesmerising as they flew through the air towards the ocean. They drifted atop the breeze out to sea before popping and becoming one with the air around them. 

This place was some kind of magic, sun kissed and decadent. He strolled alongside the pool, gazing out at the mythical view which lay before him. It was hard to believe that this time last week he was at home, lost in the midst of the city. 

Out here there were better things. Love, sun, dub and an energy which would keep him fulfilled for a lifetime if only he could. 

As the sun began to set in the distance he took in a deep breath, bracing himself for the night to come...

Belgian producer, DJ and FCL member Red D has announced a new remix EP dubbed ‘Re-Fantasized & Realized’ featuring tracks from his 2022 album. He has invited a stellar cast of friends and producers to remix his work including the likes of Charles Webster, Kai Alice and Far Out Radio Systems.

On Friday 8th September Morocco was struck by the strongest earthquake on record for over a century. Hitting the High Atlas mountains, around 70 kilometres southwest of Marrakesh, the 6.8 magnitude quake has killed over 3000 people and impacted the lives of over 300,000 more.

As a way to raise funds for families and communities impacted by the disaster, we’ve rallied friends together for ‘Tadamoun: A Compilation for Moroccan Earthquake Relief’.

Compiled in collaboration with Geneva-based DJ and producer Reda Saiarh, the release features 24 tracks contributed by artists from across Europe, including Anatolian Weapons, Romain FX, Justine Forever, Cornelius Doctor, Zaatar and more. Musically it travels across many sounds and styles too, from ambient electronica, trip hop and leftfield bass to chugging Italo, jackin’ new beat and trippy techno.

All proceeds will be split 50/50 between two charities who are helping to raise money for those affected and to rebuild communities that have been devastated: Atlas Kinder, a charity who supports abandoned children in Morocco, and Insaf, a non-profit organisation that protects and supports women and children.

PRD1011 • Pàscal - "Arcipelago"

Love Not Sex is the second Stubb release from Paper Recordings' Ben Davis (Flash Atkins) forthcoming on vinyl and digital.

The original is a melancholic slice of sunshine that draws inspiration from MOR and blue-eyed soul with a hefty dose of balearica. Acoustic guitars, Rhodes, live drums and strings plus Crazy P's Tim Davis on bass provide the perfect cinematic backdrop for the plaintive vocals of Huw Costin (Torn Sail) and Rachel Foster. 

Japanese edit hero Mori Ra delivers his first ever remix and its a doozy. Keeping the bones of the original track, he takes it in to dark psychedelic waters with the help of former_airline's tripped out guitar. A spoken vocal tips it in to full Balearic wonkiness that will have the likes of DJ Harvey and Bjørn Torske getting hot under their disco beards.

Bergen's Leca employs his trademark stripped back crisp production for a warm, dreamy remix. Steel guitar, clicks, whirrs and a Nordic playfulness make for a cosmic journey to the Northern Lights.

The spiritual and uplifting music of Clifford White is highlighted with two of his most sought after songs, taken from his 1989 album The Lifespring, and presented here in a special extended 12” for the first time.

Starting in music production at just 15, White could be described as a protégée, however his take is that they were part of a music journey that continues today.   With a centre found in electronic music and spirituality, his progress, from simple home use 4-track stereo to working in professional 16-tracks studios was swift, but matched by a deeper appreciation, greater confidence and wider palette of music styles.  

Utilising his love of early samplers, his first use of the Akai S612 to accompany and expand his keyboard recordings saw continued development from his debut album at just 17 with Ascension (1985), to the follow up Spring Fantasy (1987) and on to The Lifespring (1989).  A small review in the local paper literally led to a knock at the door and offer of a deal from the Start (State Of The Art ) label to record his next album.   With a subsequent advance,  professional studio equipment was hired and out of these sessions his sound expanded to include ambient, orchestral, synth pop and even ballads.  

From this both Lifestream and Rain Trek emerged.  With a love of Jean Michel Jarre’s Oxygène in mind, Lifestream’s smooth beginning soon gives way to the pulse of an arpeggio driven groove.  Aiming for “relaxation with an edge”, the track has become a secret play for the more Balearic minded DJ in the decades since and now sees the LP trade for dizzying sums.  However, the original is aching brief, gracefully fading as part of the album’s journey.   Here though, with DJs and collectors in mind, White returns to the song to craft a specially extended version that completes the song and will be appreciated at sunsets across the globe. 

Seeking to take the music and listener to another place, Rain Trek took White’s interest in Sci-Fi and the mystic powers of water to a rightful conclusion.   The healing nature of his music is apparent, the mystery, yearning and travelling, all emotions evident, but with a kick that will grace the more enlightened dance.
