For those who’ve been following my Burnout Sumner adventures for a while now, this might sound familiar. Every three years, I drop a pretty extended mix dedicated to that special kind of Balearic house music bliss that continues to be a major part of my life, despite all the personal changes that have happened since the last edition. So here we are with Volume III: “An Escape to Balearic Paradise.”

Expect an almost three-hour-long journey into a tropical dreamscape, carefully curated by yours truly. It’s a sun-drenched selection of my favorite tracks from this magical musical realm, collected since the 2022 edition. You'll find familiar faces like DJ Koze, Space Ghost, and Joe Goddard, alongside hidden gems from Desert Island Disco, Lars Bartkuhn, Barbara Boeing, and Conga Fever: the forgotten alias of Tom Hessler aka Der Assistent. One personal highlight: Sofia Kourtesis’ dreamy remix of Perel’s Matrix, a track I still get goosebumps from. Also included is an Alex Kassian rework-slash-tribute to Michael Göttsching’s iconic E2-E4 from 1981, which still feels like the spiritual blueprint for this entire genre.

But let’s not get lost in name-dropping - because in the end, this mix is all about the vibe. It’s an invitation to slow down, to breathe deeply, to let your mind wander over imaginary coastlines. Maybe you’ll find yourself dancing barefoot in golden sunlight, or drifting into twilight with a soft breeze brushing your skin. This is a soundtrack for summer days and balmy nights, a celebration of warmth, serenity, and musical escapism - and honestly, don’t we all need a little more of that right now? You’ll also find the first two volumes there in one playlist, perfect if you're in the mood for an even deeper dive. Thanks for giving it a spin. ☀️

Nova Tropica Vol. 6 - Burnout Sumner

Not done one of these in a while, having recently stepped away from my residency in Edinburgh. Felt right to record one more before taking a breather and shifting focus.

On the hottest day of the year in the UK so far, here’s a mix of sun-drenched beauties to soundtrack it.

Catch you on the other side x

KEEP ON is a weekly Sunday party run by long-time DJs and music aficionados David Barbarossa and OOFT! in La Cheetah club Glasgow. Each week they delve into their extensive record collections to bring you an authentic sound track of deep disco, 80s boogie, Balearic, nice house, and assorted Global flavours. Running the vinyl through a nice hand-built rotary mixer elevates the vibe. The party has been running for close to 2 years now, so if you need a Sunday dance you know where to go.

Expressions: 05 KEEP ON Special w/ OOFT! & David Barbarossa - Subcity Radio - 13/07/25

We’ve all had those moments: when you hear that groove and instinctively turn the dial up a notch. When you’re in the car, the sun’s shining, and a wry smile creeps across your face because that track makes you feel so good. When you catch someone’s eye on the dance floor and that simple nod of acknowledgment resonates with you both in that moment.

That’s House Music. It’s a feeling.
