"None of that bouncy banana boat nonsense, it's more real like this." 

London based Swedish producer, song writer and DJ https://soundcloud.com/blende returns to Eskimo Recordings with ‘Back To Summertime’, an outrageously funky slice of disco house featuring the stunning vocals of former The Rapture vocalist https://soundcloud.com/mattiesafer.

"The song came about from one of those demos you sometimes sit with that never seem to lead to anything," explains Blende. "I was about ready to give up on it when Mattie recorded this brilliant vocal that probably would make even George Benson envious, and after that it was a smooth ride. I must admit I wasn't paying too much attention to the lyrics at first and even though the title is hinting at the opposite it's really quite a sad song. But I like that aspect; you book a resort holiday and then it rains for two weeks. None of that bouncy banana boat nonsense, it's more real like this." 

"I loved the track that Johan delivered and it reminded me of summer festivals and parties on the beach," recalls Mattie Safer. "The song is a story, two lovers who have let the complications and burdens of everyday life get in the way of their romance. The idea is to back to the innocence and simplicity of a carefree summer fling, just enjoying each other and life. You can run away from love but you can't hide forever. It comes back around."
