WEEK 42 - Discogroove

An instrumental version of my Glow at Night track that's available on The Chopshop Label as a download.

Dave Gerrard - Glow At Night (Dub) **Out Now @ Juno**

Swedish producer and DJ Rasmus Faber and Berlin based British vocalist David Sanderson have teamed up to produce what is set to be the sound of the summer.

Never Enough is a perfect blend of blue-eyed soul, yacht rock and disco that brings the sunshine. Over immaculate production, the guitar, piano and bass sit perfectly with David's heartfelt vocals. The break brings a touch of gospel before the chorus plays out and is left spinning. The Extended Mix strips things back to give more room to the instrumentation for a more DJ friendly version.

Longtime Paper collaborator Max Essa delivers a remix masterclass with his smooth rework, taking things a touch deeper with extra arp and pads.

The Dub Mix brings delays and EFX as individual elements are broken down and sprinkled with studio magic. The bass is locked, the pad riff casts its hypnotic spell and vocal phrases are worked in and out. One for late nights and early mornings.

Support in from:

Jim Stanton (Horse Meat Disco): "Max Essa again what a fantastic track would totally be playing this!"

Hardway Bros: "Very Balearic indeed!"

Barrie Urquhart (Buddha Lounge): "Lovely to see Rasmus Faber on here. Thanks for this EP, my fave for a long time from Paper. Every single version is usable for me in slightly different situations and locations i play. Personal fave is Max Essa Extended Vocal"

Fingerman: "Wonderful vibes here!"

Quincy Jointz: "Loving the original and the Max Essa Dub!"

Pathaan: "Perfect sunset vibes!"

Phantom Island for Radio Raheem (07.12.2023)

Balearic Ensemble locks in for another round, this time welcoming Statues to the fold with Power Hour, a five-track voyage through shimmering synthwork, pulsating grooves, and deep dancefloor mystique. Three originals, two heavyweight remixes—tried, tested, and ready to roll.

BE PREMIERE: Statues - The Starlights (Pete Blaker Remix)

MM Discos presents Freedom Spirit by Pleasure Voyage.
A sonic journey into the essence of Balearic Beat.

From the sunniest corners of the Balearic imagination, MM Discos opens the doors to a new musical expedition with Freedom Spirit, the highly anticipated vinyl release by Pleasure Voyage. A tribute to freedom, nature, and the connection to the ethereal, this EP encapsulates the spirit of eternal summer with six carefully crafted tracks that move between ambient landscapes, hypnotic downtempo, and immersive grooves.

This work is a testament to Pleasure Voyage's talent for capturing the magic of the sea breeze and the ebb and flow of the waves in sound form. From the first chord of Cloud Waves (New Age Balearic Mix) to the deep reflection of Cloud Waves (Ambient Meditation Mix), each track is a gateway to a state of escape and immersive enjoyment.

Side A kicks off with Cloud Waves (New Age Balearic Mix), an enveloping anthem with celestial pads and floating arpeggios, followed by Surf Meditation, an ode to the ocean with pulsating basslines and ethereal percussion. Verano Española closes the A-side with a warm groove and guitars that evoke golden sunsets and cocktails by the sea.

Now on its fourth edition, Futureboogie Recordings maintain their fine tradition of the ‘Summer Riot’ EPs, showcasing new music from new artists and FBR regulars, each cut laced with the good vibes designed to bring out some additional heat during these Summer months. 

Retrofit boss, Jay Shepheard, makes his debut on the label with ‘Henry’s Theme’.  Following on from his stellar catalogue for labels like Compost Records, Dirt Crew and Buzzin Fly, Jay delivers the goods fortified with infectious bass, deep chords and feel good factor X 100.

Family favourites, PBR Streetgang, return to the label with ‘Seul Baril’, pushing a more shadowy mood; mallet percussion playing out the melody over a heavy, reverberating bassline and climatic synths.

French artist, Art Of Tones, comes with an impressive track history with releases on F Comm (as Llorca), 2020 Vision and Local Talk, and is accompanied by Laetitia Dana on ‘Don’t Need No More’.  Live bass licks over a brooding production sets the tone for Laetitia’s awesome vocal performance on this impeccable number.   

Another seasoned FBR regular, Lukas, contributes ‘White Linen Suit’ to this V/A comp, a slick and sophisticated slab of sun-kissed Balearica.  Woodwind riffs, live bass and sliding guitar licks entangle is a highly musical and blissed out production.

‘Never Coming Back’ from Phil Gerus closes the EP, the meaty kick drum and dense claps come rolling at you with serious intent, a peak-time slammer with it’s looping vocal refrain and bare bones elements, reminiscent of some of the best dubs and tracks that the 90s managed to throw up.

Another versatile and downright essential ‘Summer Riot’ instalment ……
