Album short description:
‘so early on a Friday evening, you might tell your girl or boy to put on the A/B -side, as you're getting ready to throw some shapes that night. And on Sunday evening, you tell him/her to put on the C/D-side as you're tapping up a bath’.

DC Promo Tracks #20: Prins Emanuel "Aquarius"

Over the years, Phil Mison has become the go-to selector for those looking for Ibiza-themed compilations. None of his previous collections, though, have been quite as personal as Out Of The Blue, a compilation inspired by his first spell behind the decks at the Café Del Mar in 1993 – and the remarkable chain of events leading up to it.

Mison made his first trip to Ibiza in the summer of 1991 and quickly fell in love with the magical music being played by Café Del Mar resident DJ, Jose Padilla. On his return to the UK, Mison began to cultivate his own take on the laidback, open-minded style, recording mix-tapes of “Ibiza style chill out” tunes to give to friends.

In November 1992, Mison was hanging out in Tag Records, Soho, when Padilla walked in. He plucked up the courage to speak to the Spaniard because earlier that summer Mison had given one of his friends some tapes to take out to Jose in Ibiza so he wanted to see if he had got them. During the conversation Mison invited him down to his next DJ set at Nicky Holloway’s club, the Milk Bar and less than three months later, and clearly impressed by what he’d heard on the tapes, Padilla invited Mison to fill in for him at the Café Del Mar, beginning in April ’93.

It’s that first trip to DJ in Ibiza – a crazy six-weeks spent dividing his time between spinning records at Café Del Mar, hanging out in Jose Padilla’s house in the hills, and meeting some particularly eccentric White Isle residents – that proved the inspiration for Out Of The Blue.

The compilation contains a mixture of records that Mison played in his earliest Ibiza sets, those that remind him of that period, and recent discoveries that boast a similarly warm, loved-up vibe. Mison is at pains to point out that it’s not a track-for-track representation of his first sets, but rather a collection inspired by this most momentous of experiences.

As you’d expect from a selector of Phil Mison’s standing, Out Of The Blue is an outstanding collection. Some will no doubt hear the influence of his mentor – the man he credits with effectively turning his DJing career around – in the undulating rhythms and new age melodies of Kamasutra’s “Sugar Step”, the meandering synthesizer solos and Spanish language vocals of Congarilla’s sublime “Sacred Tree”, and the lilting flamenco guitars of “Gambarra”, an unreleased mix from Mison’s popular Cantoma project.

Elsewhere, listeners can marvel at the starry ambient bliss of Belgian legend Frank De Wulf’s “The End”, recline to the saucer-eyed fusion jazz of the Christoph Spendel Group, shuffle along to tactile, hard-to-find period deep house from Language, Moodswings and Don Carlos, and marvel at The Cactus Rose Project’s ridiculously rare “Jelly”, a sparkling, disco-era jazz-rock outing partly inspired by the Doobie Brothers’ “Long Train Running”.

Out Of The Blue may well be a very personal selection of tracks celebrating a moment in time, but it’s happily one that we can all enjoy.

The complete collection of remixes of Calm’s album is now presented on a special CD/digital release that, rather pleasingly, repackages the remixes in the same order as the original tracks. The likes of Mark Barrott, Yuri Shulgin, Gallo, Calm himself, Lucas Croon, Cantoma and more all feature.

First up is the Mark Barrott mix of 'Space Is My Place'. It’s an exotic feeling track with a watery current, and then comes J-Walk, who has just put out a fantastic album of leftfield downtempo on Wonderfulsound. His remix of ‘Afterglow and First Star’ has astral synths and leads that will have you gazing skyward, before Yuri Shulgin then steps up with the gorgeous ambient awakening that is his take on ‘Ending Summer Beginning Autumn.’

Label homie Gallo gets long legged on his deep-cut remix of ‘Sky Color Passing’ and after the twinkling melodies and scattered drums of My Friend Dario’s remix of ‘Shadows and Lights’ is Calm’s own acid laced interpretation of ‘Mellow Mellow Sadness'.

Alex Vincent is in reflective mood as he drowns you in lush pads and sustained chords on his remix of ’Shade of Tree’ and the always masterful Lucas Croon’s take on ‘Before Landing’ is a gentle rush of rave euphoria with its old school breakbeats and glowing pads.

Mind Fair’s remix sinks you into a slow motion house gem before balearic bossman Phil Mison becomes Cantoma for a version of ‘You Can See The Sunrise Again’ that has bright blue skies and jaunty chords making you move.

This is a varied and vital packages of remixes that not only provides plenty of heat for DJs, but also works as a fantastic standalone album.

Having lit up sunsets and sunrises the world over with their first outing on Leng, the deliciously Balearic ‘Last Night in Sant Celoni’, Payfone has opted for a more sensual and seductive sound on their triumphant follow-up.
 
Phil Passera and Jimmy Day are in fine form on ‘Sofian’, a deep, chugging and intoxicating affair topped off by a sleazy and breathy, half-sung and half-spoken vocal from Barbara Alcindor, previously of hugely successful European chart-toppers French Affair.
 
As with previous Payfone productions, no samples were used in the creation of the track. Instead, Passera and Day focus the action around hypnotic, slow-motion machine drums and a brilliant analogue synthesizer bassline that will quickly worm its way into your subconscious. 
 
On top of this the pair has layered up warming chords, languid boogie-style guitar riffs, colourful synthesizer lines, hand percussion and mazy Wurlitzer electric piano solos played by guest musician Phil Marten. It’s an undeniably alluring combination of musical elements that offers a clever counterpoint to the barely hidden melancholia within the track’s surprising lyrics.
 
Jimmy Day delivers the flipside ‘Loyal Mix’, a slightly brighter and more vivid interpretation that gives extra weight to the track’s razor-sharp guitar riffs and kaleidoscopic synth sounds. The result is a weighty, synth-powered dub disco workout that makes a fine accompaniment to one of Payfone’s most dramatic and addictive songs to date.

Almost 8 years on from its original release, Ubuntu Tutu and Molepolole (aka Sun City) realizes a destiny conceived on dance floors, with Olefonken updating these tracks for his Snorkel imprint. 
Finally finding its rightful place on the 12 format; 

“In the way I would have wanted it back in the day, if I had the experience and means to do so back in 2012. “

Across two tracks, impatient rhythms and repetitive forms look out from the metropolis towards the savannah where organic progressions and dry percussion take the lead, imprinting a romantic memory of a primal intuition in the shadow of a setting sun.

"If you didn't know, Hell Yeah is the Italian label hell-bent on releasing the best modern disco(ish) you can find. Sometimes it's blissed out and Balearic, sometimes it's squelchy and down-right weird and sometimes it's the sort of elongated, tribal stuff that works dancefloors into a salacious frenzy" (Kristan J Caryl - DJ MAG January 2014)
