Setting out to create a future Balearic anthem while doffing a cap to street soul and synth-heavy Italo-disco B-sides of the early 1980s, Orbs of Light’s debut single, ‘Billion Days’ lands on Leng after a tip-off from Mind Fair duo Dean Meredith and Ben Shenton, who booked the duo to play live at their Rotation festival last summer.

Orbs of Light’s Baz Bradley and A Girl Called Kate have been friends for decades and have collaborated musically in the past, though it was only a couple of years ago that they dreamed up this project. It was first trialled via a 2021 remix for Andres y Xavi on Hollis Recordings (‘Perfect Timing’) on which Kate added new vocals to Bradley’s interpretation of the track. Since then, regular recording sessions have taken place, with the duo first crafting tight instrumental tracks before – in Bradley’s words – “dream up the best songs we can” with “melodies that will hopefully stay in your head all day”.

It would be fair to say that they’ve achieved that goal on ‘Billion Days’, a hooky and addictive affair whose vocal hooks and strong chorus could well inspire Balearic sing-alongs in the months ahead. Their original mix (B1 on the vinyl version of the EP, track 2 on the digital EP) is joyous, cheery and kaleidoscopic, with steel pan style melodies, bouncy synth stabs, jaunty lead lines and Kate’s wonderful lead vocal riding a shuffling, post street soul beat and a bubbly bassline.

The accompanying remix package is naturally very strong too. San Francisco crew 40 Thieves, fresh from dropping a killer single of their own on Leng (‘The Gift’, with disco legends Gary Davis and Cinnamon Jones), step up first with a take that stretches out and builds on Orbs of Light’s original mix – think wobbly nu-disco synth bass, fresh flute sounds, dubbed-out vocal snippets and a locked-in groove that’s just perfect for sun-soaked alfresco dancing.

Fittingly, the second and final revision comes from Mind Fair, whose email to Leng HQ about Orbs of Light got the ball rolling. Opting for a rubbery, body-popping beat inspired by vintage electro, they deliver a joyful, effects-laden Balearic dancefloor ‘Dub Mix’ that somehow makes a genuinely life-affirming record even more loved-up and saucer-eyed – despite the presence of only a fraction of Kate’s addictive lead vocal.

Kenneth Bager & Findlay Brown release new single ’Love From Outer Space’ – out July 23.

'Love From Outer Space' →https://linktr.ee/musicfordreams

The track comes off a collaborative album currently under way from the Danish electronic pioneer and the British singer-songwriter. The album, titled Silence Was Singing, is set to be released in 2025 on Music For Dreams.

‘Love From Outer Space’ is a luscious piece of electronic space pop, which takes inspiration from the post-disco sounds of Paradise Garage. The track was produced in collaboration with Copenhagen-based producers WALTHER and OliO.

It features glitzy harlequin synths, talk box vocals, groovy guitar by Jonas Krag aka Santino Surfers and a fanfare brass section consisting of David Santiuste (trumpet), Roberto Lorenzo Elekes (trombone) and Pablo Hernández Ramos (Sax).

Vocals are, of course, by Findlay Brown while backing vocals are provided by Marie Carmen Koppel and Jimmy Bacoli.

Findlay Brown says: ”I thought the music that Kenneth sent me was really positive, almost spiritual. When I wrote the lyrics, I was thinking about waking up in the morning and seeing my wife sleeping with that early morning sunlight on her face and how perfect it was and how it was like a gift from outer space, like pure love raining down on her. And then there’s the obvious nod to Andy Weatherall.”

This is a little edit I've been keeping under wraps for a while that has been approved by @kindness themself. The original is a stunning track they created in aid of the British Red Cross' 'A Long Road' album in 2016, which sought to highlight and share stories from refugees by teaming them up with musicians. As the son of a refugee myself — and my mother was welcomed to the UK by the BRC specifically – their beautifully evocative rendition of one refugee's story struck a particular chime and I decided to create a deep dancefloor version of it.

Unfortunately due to licensing issues we weren't able to figure out an official release, but they have given me permission to post it as a stream.
