The London-based DJ and producer Phil Mison is back in style—by which we mean proper unabashed jazz-&-funk-loaded Balearic-style—with the new single ‘Amor Bailar’ under his Ambala-moniker.

'Amor Bailar' →https://linktr.ee/musicfordreams

The track releases January 12 on Music For Dreams and features a selection of the MFD usual suspects. Young guns WALTHER and OliO have their signature on the programming: a sleek, cruising groove adorned by guitars courtesy of Jonas Krag aka Santino Surfers, and vocals by trio Iyami Aje.

‘Amor Bailar’ comes off Mison’s next album, one of the big projects on the horizon for Music For Dreams.

Ambala - Amor Bailar (ft. Santino Surfers, WALTHER, OliO, Iyami Aje) - s0717

The Danish indie luminary Mikkel Hess, alias Hess Is More, will release his new single ‘You Don’t Dance’ on February 6. The track comes off Hess’ forthcoming album, which is set to be released in April on Music For Dreams.

‘You Don’t Dance’ →https://linktr.ee/musicfordreams

Hess describes the track as “a six-bar chant that bites its own tail. A musical attempt at a recipe for some momentary happiness.”

The production is thoroughly old-school, with vintage synths and old drum machines mixed in with some guitar and bass. The track was played as part of Hess Is More’s award winning performance series Apollonian Blackout, and is now being released in the original studio version.

Hess Is More gained notoriety in the mid-2000’s with his colorful, self-aware, and always deeply original takes on electronic and indie genres. Since then, he has turned out a series of individual and collaborative projects, often veering into other disciplines such as theater and art-installation.

With his forthcoming album, Hess returns as a (mostly) solo artist, with a little help from close family in the writing, performing and producing. The vision is a patchwork of distinctive pop designs, from the minimalist and intimate to the unabashedly expressive. One that is always curious about new configurations of the ironic and the sincere.

Diskjokke is back with a future disco extraordinaire two-tracker on Oslo label badabing.diskos... 

His musical works since 2006 includes escapades on Prins Thomas's ́Full Pupp ́, indie label ́Smalltown Supersound ́, minimal house label ́Kindisch ́ and the legendary norwegian space house label ́Luna Flicks ́. His three superb album releases and remixes of indie acts such as Metronomy and The XX has certainly made his mark on the scene, always led by his complex, weird and wonderful take on club music; melodic and cinematic, but always with house clubs in mind. Diskjokke has played everywhere from Panoramabar Berlin to Space Ibiza and Liquid Room Tokyo. 
́
Hear no evil ́ is an electro funk house banger, where tention is drawn from minimal dub disco randomness, heavy on the 2 ́s and 4 ́s, to the reliefng melodic patterns that makes the classic Diskjokke-sound. Dubbed out disco house from planets yet to be found. 

This EP brings a completely new take on club music, although honouring its inspirations from funk, disco, dub and house in its finest ways.

Hear no evil

DiskJokke - Hear No Evil - badabing diskos [OCC PREMIERE]

The much-loved Balearic Biscuits-series from Music For Dreams is being revived for a fourth edition, gathering a new batch of eccentric balearica from the label’s recent catalogue.

'Balearic Biscuits Vol. 4' →https://linktr.ee/musicfordreams

The Balearic style is a famously elusive one, born from eclectic tastes converging on a utopian idea. Different styles orbiting the same principle: forget the rules and just have a good time.

For those following the Music For Dreams label, not a wholly unfamiliar dictum. And on that note, let’s break open this Balearic Biscuits Vol. 4 and have a look inside.

The compilation runs 18 tracks long and covers both the downtempo and dancefloor domains along with everything in between. As far as classic chill-out vibes go, there’s Ambala’s ‘Amor Bailar’ or Pepe Link’s ‘Vem Menina’ or islandman’s remix of Dj Pippi & Willie Graff’s ‘Piel A Piel’, all donning different local flavors. Copenema’s ‘Can’t Sleep’ and ‘Ogum’ by Visti’s Vinyl Collective both extend to Latin American ground while Wille’s ‘Bilancia Vero’ and CheapEdits’ ‘Cozmika’ lean towards 80’s Italo Disco territory.

Tolga Böyük & Kenneth Bager’s ’Re-arrange Your Face’ and Pete Blaker’s reworking of Rheinzand’s ‘Love Games’ show a sterner side of things, while Gerd Janson’s remix of Islandman’s ‘Aku Membawa’, Valentin Huedo’s ‘In The Jungle’ or WALTHER & OliO’s tracks are mainroom house moments. 

Plenty more to dive into. Enjoy!

Kenneth Bager - Balearic Biscuits Vol. 4 (Full Comp) - 0329

'Scenes From My Soul' →https://linktr.ee/musicfordreams

The release of "Scenes From My Soul" marks the culmination of the career of one of the essential figures in the history of electronic music on the island of Mallorca, undoubtedly one of the most influential DJs of his generation and one of the most important figures in the Balearic sound. We are talking about someone who, since the very beginning, has been faithful to the vibe -not so much a style as a way of conceiving music, more concerned with what it provokes than with conforming to the rigid rules of any pattern. In fact, Pepe López Ojeda (Palma, 1968) proves on this first LP that his way of conceiving music has more to do with the creation of a landscape and evoking a moment: you can almost hear the breeze from the sea, your breath in sync with the waves in the background. 

In 2020, Pepe Link returned to his role as producer to shape a first single, "Gypsy Love Affair", after three decades behind some of the world's most prestigious booths, continuously demonstrating his impeccable taste as a music prescriber. Whether at the head of several radio programs or as musical director of the Cappuccino group, for which he has already directed ten compilations that have contributed to making the brand a globally recognized label, Pepe´s careful music curator work continues to impress and delight. For his personal project, it was clear that for his release there was no better label than Music for Dreams. 

In 2022, "Korasoul" would be released and from then on, in collaboration with the Copenhagen label, he began to dig into his hard drive in search of the best musical ideas and sketches he had accumulated over the years. From there emerged the songs that make up this album, which could be considered a career retrospective, almost a greatest hits compilation, were it not for the fact that all the songs (except those already mentioned) are unreleased and were recorded with a plethora of collaborators, including the engineer Tolo Servera, the legendary Cuban trumpeter Alejandro Delgado and Brazilian singer Marta Santamaria. 

The collaboration with Music for Dreams and the complicity with his alma mater Kenneth Bager has given him the opportunity to count on session musicians to bring the required organicity to the tracks.

To come full circle, Pepe Link enlisted the help of fellow DJ and producer Kiko Navarro to complete the mixing and mastering of the album. Both are two of the pillars of the island's electronic music scene, and he credits Kiko as one of his masters in terms of DJing and producing. The rest he has learned on his own since 1994, when he first stepped into a booth. To this day, he has achieved a mastery that few can match. That's millions of nights, hundreds of millions of beats, an enormous amount of good vibes. 

Now he has poured almost everything he knows about vibes into this album. Although in Pepe Link's case it would be more accurate to say what he feels rather than what he knows, because if one thing is clear when listening to "Scenes From My Soul," is that there are no filters or cutoffs here: Pepe Link has poured 30 years of experience into each of these songs, 30 years of music, of listening to it, of playing it, of feeling it; 30 years of merging his life with it.

Charlotte & Reinhard - Guardian Of Sleep (Full Single) - s0816

Coming off the release of his debut album, Pepe Link is right back with a new single.

‘Warm Forest’ →https://linktr.ee/musicfordreams
 
‘Warm Forest’ demonstrates the Mallorcan artist’s touch for the grand melodic downtempo. The deep rhythms, the soulful chords, the soaring woodwinds create a momentous Gaian bliss.

Maybe a sign of what’s to come for Pepe Link’s second album?
