Our friend from the coast Ed Mahon makes a triumphant return to Sprechen with an absolute stunning selection of his fave tracks from over the years which he has lovingly recreated, re-tweaked and firmly slapped his own unique stamp upon them. With help from his close creative friends Louise Spiteri & Snem K, Ed delivers 3 stunning selections which cover spaced out cosmic balearic bizz and pumping EBM sweaty workouts.

Voice Of Africa's Hoomba Hoomba gets a piano dubbed out rework with the sun beam factor cranked up to 500. A chugging broken beat and subtle use of a vocal sample with the piano high in the mix makes this perfect for a poolside playlist (as the mix names suggest) or for a very special end of night/big hugs type of scenario.

What You Deserve features the vocal talents of French based singer Snem K who tackles this slamming rework of a little know number from the very early 80's. Industrial style action with a vocal reminiscent of DAF and other associated metal dance maestros. Sweaty basements ahoy!

Last up is a cover of the early 80's New Jack Swing/late electro banger Temptation originally by Corina. Totally stripped back and built around pads & piano played by Ed with Louise Spiteri taking over vocal duties. This is absolute lush which will guarantee some smiles as bright as the sunshine it should be played under. Big Croatian festival tackle!

Citizens Of Vice finally launches its 2025 season with “Meraki Vol. 2” – a Greek term meaning to pour your soul, creativity, and love into your work – and this vibrant compilation does just that, blending Disco, Italo Disco, and Balearic flavours. The six-track release showcases talents like Secret Soul Society, Mass Density Human, Lanowa, Gus Paterson, Ed Mahon (SXDNS068), and Somethin’ Sanctified, offering a sun-kissed, dancefloor-ready experience. True to its name, the label pours passion into curating eclectic electronic sounds, delivering another spot-on selection perfect for both poolside lounging and late-night grooves.

Premiered here, Ed Mahon’s contribution is a delicious Nu Disco gem, radiating warmth with lush synth leads, breezy vocals, and an irresistibly smooth rhythm. The track embodies a carefree, mojito-by-the-pool vibe, showcasing Mahon’s knack for crafting immersive, melodic dance music. With prior releases on NEIN, Paper, Emerald & Doreen, Paisley Dark, Sprechen, and Hot Digits, just to name a few, his signature sound – polished yet effortlessly cool – fits seamlessly into the VA’s sun-drenched aesthetic, making “Letting Go” an instant highlight and a testament to the Meraki spirit of heartfelt artistry.
