Mixtaper Gallagher - SOULMEEX 021

Mike Salta & Mortale keep the vibes rolling with garden-fresh chillout single 

‘Yaeyama’ →https://linktr.ee/musicfordreams

The music of Mike Salta aka Gert Nygaard flaunts an eclectic palette, collecting strands from New Orleans funk, 80’s italo disco or Brazilian tropicalia and transforming them into rich and sun-drenched dance music.

His newest single Yaeyama, produced in collaboration with long-time studio partner Mortale, is a sumptuous piece of chillout to call on the summer. A full-bodied groove is adorned with silky organs while a re-purposed 90’s rave-sample gives way to Nygaard’s breezy hand-pan lead. The sound is buzzing, warm and balmy throughout. A joyously squirming trumpet solo to round off the pleasantries as well.

The track comes as part of a run of singles leading up to Mike Salta’s debut album for Music For Dreams.

Mike Salta & Mortale - Yaeyama - s0722

Reinhard Vanbergen presents Get Yours!, a neo-psychedelic concept album that maneuvers the different shapes of guitar music throughout history. The music moves from cracking Americana riffs to 80’s jangle pop to blissed out boogie grooves with what seems a dreamlike ease, disparate sound images blending in and out of each other in these strangely poignant melodic patterns.

'Get Yours!' →https://linktr.ee/musicfordreams

As on the opener, ‘Supreme Tux’, which evokes a retro-futuristic wedding band striking a note that manages to sound both woefully kitsch and hauntingly beautiful at the same time. Or on ‘Servant’ where a jaunty hillbilly groove meets electro synths in what becomes an ineffably hypnotic sequence.

You soon realize that you’re in Vanbergen’s own anachronistic playground, a sort of Doctor Who adventure skating across space and time on paths cut by the artist’s melodic imagination. What we get is an album that doesn’t take itself too seriously yet ends up offering material that is interesting and original beyond the easy-listening pleasures.

The record is also a tribute to Reinhard’s long-time guitar-manufacturer Guttlin Guitars, with all instruments on the record except beats and synths made by him, and all tracks taking their name after his guitar models.

Reinhard Vanbergen - Get Yours! (Inspired by Guttlin Guitars) [Full Album] - 0311

MUSIC FOR DREAMS welcome you to the sundrenched soul-funk palace of SANTINO SURFERS.

'Santino Surfers' →https://linktr.ee/musicfordreams

This much awaited debut album masterminded by Danish Jonas Krag delivers nine tracks of lusciously wrought guitar sweetness traversing soul, jazz, funk and rock territory. Packed with sundrenched atmosphere and top-notch craft.

For Jonas Krag, the guitar has become something of a prosthetic limb. Spanning a twenty-year career, he has produced, written and played music with a wealth of artists on the Danish pop and rock-scene. Along the way, sketches of something more personal began to collect in his mind and with Santino Surfers these ideas have now crystallized into a fully-fledged artistic language.

What smolders beneath this music is an unabashed aural indulgence. The sound is luscious, warm and melodically rich from end to end. Nimble riffs and squirming solos arranged effortlessly around the rippling drums.

Take the gorgeously flowing structures of ‘Sunrise Swell’, the gentle psychedelia of ‘Who Ordered Fish’, the waxy 80’s-infused coolness of ‘Late Night Neon’ or the sprawling solo pageantry of ‘Three Corners One View’.

Santino Surfers - Santino Surfers (Full Album) - 0221

We’re happy to present the latest installment of the infamous Sunset Sessions compiled by our very own Kenneth Bager. This eleventh volume in the series is packed with new and sparkling material to greet the summer twilight and send you spinning into the night.

'The Sunset Sessions Vol. 11' →https://linktr.ee/musicfordreams

Kicking it off we have Be.Lanuit’s warm breeze of soul-infused Balearica by the title of ‘El Picador Telepathico’, featuring Danish guitarist Santino Surfers. Following up is the spiritually lounging ‘Eko Maina’ by chillout veteran Phil Mison aka Ambala feauturing beautiful Afro-Cuban vocals by Iyami Aje. And Ken Fan follows up with ‘Under The Moon’, a nocturnal trip-hop-inspired sound with gorgeous ghostly vocals by Vicky Kroon. Next up Colleen Murphy's Cosmodelica Remix of Jacob Gurevitsch 'Elevation In Minor, a true sunset gem.

We have some lovely sundrenched boogie from Willie Graff & Darren Eboli’s Tribeca Tapes-series, a luscious piece of jazzy chillout by Mike Salta & Mortale, a shuffling percussion dance from Subnesia, a twinkly 80’s inspired disco-thriller by newcomer Wille and much much more from the garden fresh catalogs of Music For Dreams.

Kenneth Bager - The Sunset Sessions Vol. 11 (Full Comp) - 0347

The Belgian artist and multi-instrumentalist is ready with another album. Circle Back comes as part of Vanbergen’s inspired-by-series: a run of albums written in inspiration by—and sometimes in cross-disciplinary collaboration with—special friends of the artist.

Circle Back (Inspired By Kadir Ferati Balci) →https://linktr.ee/musicfordreams

For this project Vanbergen turns to the Belgian filmmaker Kadir Ferati Balci as muse. Balci selected short fragments of his work, forming them into a kind of visual summaries of his oeuvre, ranging from films to docu. He added an extra dimension to these fragments, reversing parts and rendering everything in a circle.

The music is still a world unto itself. Eight jazz tracks each with a music video by Kadir Ferati Balci, accompanied by a hidden sequence, psychedelic sounds and alienating, contemplative, philosophical lyrics sung by Charlotte Caluwaerts.

The collaboration between Caluwaerts, Vanbergen and Balci is not new. On several projects Balci directed, the music was provided by the Vanbergen-Caluwaerts duo. This time, however, the music did not have to be functional, as was more the case with previous collaborations (docu about Stefan Hertmans, the series "Een Goed Jaar," the series "Storm Lara").

Vanbergen once graduated as a Jazz violinist at the Conservatory of Ghent. On this record he shows that. He enlists the help of Belgium's finest, Dre Pallemaerts and Lara Rosseel, on drums and double bass, and Charlotte Caluwaerts doesn't fail to show how broad her pallet has become over the years.

Reinhard Vanbergen & Charlotte Caluwaerts - Circle Back (Full Album) - 0309

Music For Dreams are proud to present Frecuencia, the next album by electronic artist Ken Fan, to be released on September 5th.

'Frecuencia' →https://linktr.ee/musicfordreams

Since coming up as a DJ in the late nineties, The British-Chinese producer and DJ has founded an impressive career on his love for Balearic music. His ability to re-imagine the genre and advance its warm ethos into new sounds has made him a central presence on
the Balearic scene, figuring appropriately as Café Del Mar’s only inhouse resident DJ.

As a producer and artist, Fan proceeds from the same eclectic and imaginative spirit that earned his sets their special reputation. Through dubby downtempo, sweeping ambient and spectral trip-hop beats, Fan sustains a distinctive Balearic thread—a melodic and textural fullness that typifies his musical identity.

Frecuencia comprises nine tracks sketched out by Fan in his Ibiza home, on tour, in airports and hotels, and then finalized in the Music For Dreams studio in Copenhagen. The tracks range from the thrumming nocturnal air of ‘Under The Moon’ to the blissed
 out expanse of ‘Mariwo’ to the swirling gothic-electro of the title track. The album features collaborations and vocalists on several tracks, including Vicky Kroon, George Solar and vocal trio Iyami Aje who sing in both Spanish and Bantú.

Frecuencia follows Ken Fan’s debut LP of last year, Momentum of Love (Music For Dreams).

Mike Salta & Mortale - Bon Abantu - s0721

Over the past decade, Be.lanuit has made a name for himself in Ibiza, both as a DJ, artist and fashion designer. Across disciplines he radiates a deep-rooted bohemian spirit harkening back to the philosophy on which the Ibiza-scene was originally founded. This creative hearth of soulful hedonism has now borne a full-length album, one that reveals a sprawling composing talent and complete mastery of the melodic downtempo terrain.

Be.lanuit says:

“Hippie Picasso is an album inspired by the life of a hypothetical Pablo Picasso with a hippie soul. I have a deep interest in Picasso that sparked when a work by him caught my eye at the Louisiana in Denmark, incidentally on a trip with Kenneth Bager who runs Music For Dreams. Since then, reading his biographies and visiting Malaga where he was born, where the Mediterranean culture, especially through music, spreads out to the world.
  
The tracks revolve around Picasso’s artworks and moments in his life, all from the point of view of a dream of an imagined life on the island of Ibiza. The melodies are all reminiscent of the Mediterranean with flamenco airs, sometimes melancholic. Jazz has a subtle presence alongside the electronics. The Spanish classical guitar as well, one of his favorite instruments.”

‘Hippie Picasso’ →https://linktr.ee/musicfordreams

The album features a range of artists from around the world such as the legendary multi-instrumentalist Tupac Peralta, DJ Pippi, Melón Jimenez, Lara Wong, The Swan and The Lake, Jonas Krag, WALTHER and OliO.

Be.Lanuit - Hippie Picasso (Full Album) - 0287

The Copenhagen series showcases the best new releases from Music For Dreams, as selected by label boss Kenneth Bager. The second installment of the 2023 edition is being released on Nov 14th.

'Copenhagen 2023, Vol. 2' →https://linktr.ee/musicfordreams

Spanning gutsy house pop, lush electronic anthems, cinematic synth realms and spaced-out downtempo. Featuring venerable Balearic masters and keen
newcomers. Everything you need to go spelunking through the dreamworld, all in one place.

Highlights include Kenneth Bager & Findlay Brown’s first single ‘Don’t Give Up’ off their forthcoming album, the minimalistic art-pop of Hess Is More’s ‘You And Me And Them’, islandman’s stratospheric summer anthem ‘Sunshine’, Ken Fan’s pristine chill-out track ‘Mariwo’, and Julie Pavon’s indomitable funk-house hit ‘Don’t Call Me Out’.

It's been a strong year for Music For Dreams, with the label intensifying their
pursuit of the sonic eccentricities that struggle to find a home elsewhere in the current music ecosystem. Lots of great releases that didn’t make it onto here as well, which you are encouraged to check out.

Kenneth Bager - Copenhagen 2023, Vol. 2 (Full Comp) - 0344

Label chief Kenneth Bager rounds up the very best tracks released this year on Music For Dreams. The compilation will be released digitally on December 29.

'Music For Dreams, Best Of 2023' →https://linktr.ee/musicfordreams

The Copenhagen-based indie label has entered the third decade of its existence as a stronghold in the outer regions of pop and electronic music. The label’s ever eclectic output reflects the taste of its founder and man-in-charge, DJ and producer Kenneth Bager: a man as comfortable with campy sunbathed pop as he is with finespun minimalism and experimental electronic adventures. What is sought here at the Copenhagen offices is music with a personality.

As a showcase of the label’s current operations, Kenneth Bager here compiles the highlights from this year’s releases. “I think the selection of tracks reflects the consistent quality of output we’ve been able to produce. Our music is very eclectic and often outside the codes of conventional taste. But I think that is what sets us apart and why people keep listening to us,” Bager says.

The compilation comprises 25 tracks which run the full spectrum of MFD’s
offerings: from full-bodied Balearic anthems and funk-heavy house pop to
sweeping ambient landscapes and nebulous electronic experiments.

Check out such gems as the warm, cornucopian downtempo of ‘El Malagueño’ from Spanish Be.lanuit’s debut LP; the exquisite repose of Ambala’s ‘Quiet Yellow Purple’; the ethereal melancholia of Hess Is More’s ‘You And Me And Them’, the vulcanic funk of Julie Pavon’s house pop hit ‘Don’t Call Me or the ghostly electro-acoustic echoes of Prins Emanuel’s ‘Västan Vind’.
