This week on Island Time, we travel down to Texas to venture into the bubbling latin music scene of the 1960s through early 80s, giving some love to the context that gave us Selena. Working through some smooth latin soul, this mix floats along drawing from classic rock, corrido, conjunto, cumbia and more. Made for a nice sunny day, and suited for the blooming of Spring we have in Philadelphia right now. enjoy :)

Other Lands - Archipelagos AOTN proudly present a new solo outing from long time friend & contributor to the label, Other Lands aka Gavin L.Sutherland. Channeling his considerable improvisational chops to evoke notions of island life, he was keen to make something that could work equally as well in the wilds of the Western Isles as in the sunnier spots of the world that we all yearned to escape to at that time. The more he played with this idea of groups of islands, of archipelagos the world over, the more it also became about people themselves experiencing isolation as individuals, while still feeling a sense of togetherness with others in the same boat. So that was the mood that he began with. Working a little at home but mainly here at AOTN studios, he would come in each day over the course of a few weeks and just hit record, playing at times almost without mind. Sometimes the mood would call for keys, or for strings to get strummed, or for drums through delays for days and days. Often, things would happen by chance as much as by design. One rule he tried to adhere to was to not overthink things, capturing moments as quickly as possible with minimal editing or post processing. A great deal of material was gathered, but of course only pieces which felt right made the cut. What we’ve ended up with is a beautiful, spontaneous yet timeless, honest meditation on what it is to be at once both alone and part of a larger whole.

As the days grow longer and the weather slowly begins to warm up, The Offline has gifted us with a sonic journey to the summertime with his latest release on “Le Club”. Through his blend of cinematic soul and funk, the track invokes the mood of carefree travels to popular surf spots along the French coast.

The Offline seamlessly connects his new track to the sonics of his first project, continuing his journey into an analogue feel reminiscent of old funk and jazz albums that are often sampled in hip-hop. This cohesive style shows his growth as an artist while still maintaining a consistent sound.

The soulfully visual tune is elevated by its dramatic and cinematic arrangements, paying homage to the moody soundtracks of 1960s and 1970s film composers such as Francois de Roubaix, Brian Bennet, and David Axelrod. The track is a true sonic journey, transporting listeners to a place of summer adventure and nostalgia.

The Offline jumped online for a moment to tell us ““Le Club came about when I was hanging out at a French beach on a sunny summer afternoon. I was capturing moments on my analogue camera, but also wanted to interpret those moments sonically. After arriving back in Hamburg, I teamed up with a bunch of great musicians to bring the track to life.”

Due to drop on Roots Records, 16 March, “Le Club” marks his first single since his 2022 debut EP ‘En Clar-Obscur’, and a perfect continuation of the Hamburg-based composer and photographer Felix Müller instrumental cinematic soul project, The Offline. Part of the DeepMatter Records family, Root Records specialise in instrumental music free of genre restraints.

The Offline's ability to create a soundscape that so vividly captures the essence of a season is a testament to his talent as a musician. This latest release is perfect for those looking to escape to the warm, sunny days of summer, and is sure to be a go-to track for beach trips, backyard barbecues, and any other summer adventure that lies ahead.
