Joe has been releasing music on some of the best UK labels of the moment including EDSC and Is It Balearic? and now the man from Clandestino is back with the follow up to his last EP just in time for summer. Tropical Highway follows the same format with one deep house houser and two gorgeous balearic nodders.
"Always" leads the pack and is aimed at that 3am moment when you're parked in front of the speaker and living for the moment. Crisp reverbed percussion and a shuffling sub lay the foundations for keys that look towards Detroit. An old school sample helps build the track with strings and pads until the drop is reached and not a moment too soon, that kind of intensity can only be kept up for so long! Then it's back down to the business of getting stuck in.
"Elysium" has a side chained chorused pad, gentle percussive keys, strings, a trippy vocal sample and the only thing missing is the sound of the lapping sea. It weaves it's hypnotic magic as the synths and pads play counter melodies off each other sounding like a lost 90s Cafe Del Mar classic which is no bad thing in our book!
"Fireflies" carries on the same tip with filtered pads that are heavy on atmosphere as the bass moves around them. A stabby synth pushes the track along as the drums build and drop with the keys giving it that balearic hook.
So when you're watching the sun go down and enjoying the perfect Ibiza / Croatia / Thailand / Yorkshire (delete where appropriate) moment , the Tropical Highway EP will be the soundtrack!

On October 10, 2025 Star Creature hosted a Techno Kayō Takeover: Rush Hour invaded Star Creature Vibes Radio for a special session of selections from and inspired by the recently released Techno Kayō Volume 1 compilation. Curated by two of the world's finest selectors and influential sound purveyors, Antal from Rush Hour in Amsterdam and Dubby from Ondas in Tokyo, the pair dive deep into the Japanese underground of obscure and abstract proto electro synth pop and boogie.

We got loose for over 4 hours worth of sonic explorations. The first hour is Antal playing some of his favorite Techno Kayō tracks followed by Dubby with a 30 minute mix of his faves.

In The Shade [Mix/Oct. 2025]

For the latest edition of Spraoi Mór radio we paid tribute to Keith McIvor aka JD Twitch. Without Keith and his DJ partner Jonnie as Optimo (Espacio), it his no understatement to say that we wouldn't be what we are today. We have lost one of the best to ever do it. All our love goes to Keith's family and friends, and to Jonnie. Thanks for everything. Ar dheis dé go raibh a anam.
