Planet Trip Releases

October.21.10 CJ

The Sunrise Mixtapes is delighted to present our second guest-mix. Based in Leeds, UK, Andy Pye is the man behind the Balearic Social Recordings imprint, notable for releasing some mighty fine downtempo music on vinyl from the likes of Bonnie & Klein, Coyote, Tommy Awards and ...err us (Plastic Fantastic)!

Andy hosts the weekly Balearic Social radio show on Music For Dreams, also guesting on the bi-monthly radio show Sounds In Waves on Alto Radio, and the monthly radio show Paradise Social on 1BTN.FM.

Anyway, over to the mix. Sadly we don't have a complete track-list for it as it was recorded some time ago, but we have been able to ID a handfull of the selections on here, including ‘Joy Of Brass’ taken from Phil France’s rather brilliant LP Swimmer, released in 2013. ‘Accadde A Bali’ by Arawak, a rare and hence insanely pricey record, with original Italian pressings of the LP going for well over 1000USD on Discogs! Moving on, there’s some lovely jazz-funk/soft rock goodness, including Ströer's 'Some People' from 1980, and Richard Torrance's west-coast flavoured ‘Desert Lady’ taken from his 1978 LP Double Take, and sexadelic funk courtesy Susana Estrada’s ‘Gózame Ya!’, from her aptly titled 1981 LP Amor Y Libertad. 
A big thanks to Andy Pye for this great contribution to the series.

Nathan Hui-Yi - Letting Go of the Past(saaaz Remix)

Symptoms of Love, a project by Detroit duo Ryan Spencer (Freakish Pleasures) and Ben Christensen (Sector 7G), present “Foam EP” scheduled to drop in January 2020. This is the team’s second release, a follow-up to their recent “Eye Contact” (SOBO, Montreal). “Foam EP” reflects a contrast of the high-energy late nights and laid-back afternoons in the sprawling echo-chamber of Detroit.

Recorded over the course of two years, the duo stack live instrumentation onto the vast synth and drum machine collection in Christensen’s home studio. The tracks are finished with explorations into sample-based wormholes that deliver a truly diverse EP. The sounds cruise through balearic and streetsoul inspired smoothness, machine funk dance floor jams, and bleepy percussive workouts.

This five tracker holds a mood and groove for every hour of the dance; be it peak time, sun up or sun down. Early support from Jex Opolis, Millios Kaiser, CC:DISCO!, Lauren Hansom, DJ D.DEE, Ben Fester, Ruf Dug, Bayete & more…

PT003 sees Planet Trip take a Trans -Tasman journey to Wellington, NZ for a new EP from the prolific Borrowed CS, alter ego of Lord Echo Drummer, Cory Champion. 

All four cuts on the EP see his deft drum programming laying a foundation for a tough and diverse record. The A-side holds the percolating jack track ‘Balance’ and the bleepy cinematic synth work trip “Ururangi”. Flip it over and you’ll find the infectious outsider boogie jam “ Mystic Shuffle” sitting comfortably next to the hazy and dubbed out club construction Ascend (Model 101). 

Club and or lounge room ready, and limited to strictly 300 copies, no repress.
