After an initial tease with the Cocoons E.P. earlier this year, we now move on to the main course as the self-titled debut album from Rich Hall, Paul Withey & Sarah Lazenby aka ‘Super FU ‘drops on Paper Wave and it truly is a thing of aural beauty.

10 tracks spanning an array of sounds & styles with more than a tip of the hat to what we’d deem to the be ‘The B Word” (Balearic incase you were thinking anything smutty) with touches of street soul, low slung house, psychedelic, outsider pop and lots more vibes that’s tough to put in a box.

Slick as heck production & instrumentation throughout and featuring vocals from both Paul & Sarah peppered across the tracks this really is music for hazy days & nights, boat parties, sunsets & driving in the convertible whilst on your way back from buying a new Don Johnson jacket & espadrilles.

For fans of Everything But The Girl, Sade, 90’s sounding Weather all productions with lashes of Richard X style…tuck in & jump on the Super FU freeway!

Super Fu - Super Ok [Paper Recordings] <Gouranga Premiere>

Premiere / Bonnie & Klein 'Bourbon Street (Coyote Remix)

Citizens Of Vice racks up release number Thirty Two and for this EP we have the oh so excellent ‘Bonnie & Klein’. The greek duo will be familiar to fans of the label following a multitude of releases on like minded labels inc Music For Dreams, Leng and Nu Northern Soul.

‘Bourbon Street' is the release in question and features two new tracks ‘Bourbon Street' and 'Lobby Love'. Both tracks are beautifully constructed balearic delights. If you close your eyes and are of a certain age these could sonically transport you back to the late 80’s on a certain island.

On the remix front we have two of our favourite producers adding their own ideas to the OG’s. Coyote and Rayko who have both released and remixed on COV are back with their remix caps on and shake up the originals with their uniques flavours.

Bonnie & Klein - Bourbon Street (Coyote Remix)

This summer, NuNorthern Soul celebrates its tenth birthday via the release of a lusciously packaged vinyl box set. After that, there’s the small matter of the label’s 50th release, a gorgeous, download-only EP from Bali-based Joey Fitzgerald AKA Gold Suite. Given that NNS was based for many years in Bali, and Fitzgerald and label boss Phil Cooper are old friends, it seems a fitting way to notch up half a century of releases.

Fitzgerald scored something of an underground hit with his self-released debut EP as Gold Suite, Hideaway – a set of tracks that Mixmag Asia praised to the hilt and ended up reaching Bandcamp’s list of bestsellers following its release in the spring of 2021. It was by no means his first foray into production – he’d previously delivered a handful of well-regarded edits and remixes – but it signalled a new chapter in the career of a DJ/producer who was previously better known for soundtracking sunsets and late night audio excursions at such iconic Bali venues as Potato Head Beach Club, 40 Thieves, Karma Beach and Mano Beach House.

The four tracks showcased on the On My Horizon EP do a terrific job in distilling his influences and inspirations into a colourful, sunset-ready and undeniably Balearic personal style that avoids easy categorization.

He begins with ‘The Cowboy’, a head-nodding and hazy chunk of dub-fired downtempo brilliance rich in warming bass, glistening guitar licks, spacey synth sounds and tropical lead lines, before brilliantly joining the dots between mid-‘80s Mediterranean synth-pop, relaxed nu-disco and Jose Padilla style Balearica on the kaleidoscopic wonder that is ‘Blue Lagoon’.

As the EP progresses, Fitzgerald skips merrily towards the dancefloor whilst retaining the inherently hot and humid atmosphere that marks out his music. ‘Slip On’ is a killer slab of Balearic boogie piled high with delay-laden drum machine hits, dreamy pads, undulating synth-bass and BB&Q Band keyboard riffs, while ‘On My Horizon’ sees Fitzgerald charge towards peak-time dancefloors via a mixture of weighty, Idjut Boys-esque dub disco grooves, flash-fried funk-rock licks and jangling, Gunfight at the O.K Corral guitars. Daniele Baldelli would approve.

As well as being NuNorthern Soul’s 50th release, On My Horizon is also the latest volume in the label’s Myths of Ibiza series – a set of eight EPs to be released throughout 2022, each of which features bespoke artwork from Ibiza-based illustrator Emily McGuinness. Her images for Myths of Ibiza all draw inspiration from folkloric tales of the White Isle. Depicted on the front of Gold Suite’s first NuNorthern Soul EP is “the familiar”, a mythical small goblin born from the stem of an herb that legend says only grows on the night of San Juan, under the old bridge of Santa Eulària des Riu. According to locals, if you manage to pick one of the short-lived plants and take one of its stems, it will come to life and turn into “the familiar”.

Rheinzand are back with yet another sumptuous remix of their track 'Facciamo L'Amore'. This time we have brought back in dutch maestro Pete Blaker on rework duties, and oh boy he has really delivered with this epic dubbed out remix. A beautiful transcendental and euphoric journey to another dimension. 

'Facciamo L'Amore (Pete Blaker Remix)' →https://linktr.ee/musicfordreams

Pete Blaker caught the attention of Rheinzand with his superb edits of classic tracks that have become a main staple in the sets of DJ Harvey over the past few years. So it was a no brainer to include Pete when commissioning remixes for their Remix Album released in 2021 where he re-worked 'Strange World'.

After releasing the critically acclaimed album Atlantis Atlantis last year the band and Music For Dreams embarked upon some selective remixes for this Album. The Scorpio Twins remix of 'Facciamo L'Amore' featured highly on 2022 Year End charts after smashing it on dance-floors & festivals over the summer.

We also have some very exciting collaborations to follow this year (on vinyl too) which we are super excited to share. This is a taste of things to come. Enjoy!
