Joel Sarakula
We are so happy and proud, that Mister “Westcoast” Joel Sarakula wrote an exclusive track just for our compilation. The latest album by the Australian born London resident and multi instrumentalist “Soft Focus” is his 9th, a mid-career album spanning his many influences and genres including Soft-Rock, Funk, Soul and Smooth Pop, all brought under the umbrella of his gentle gaze and a 'soft' aesthetic. Highlights include the two Shawn Lee (of Young Gun Silver Fox fame, also on our compilation with an exclusive track) produced tracks “I'll Get By Without You” and “Telephone Calls”. This is a lovingly crafted album, well polished and it feels like the culmination of Sarakula's adventures in soulful soft-rock and his defining statement in the genre. While comparisons will be made with contemporary projects like Shawn Lee's Young Gun Silver Fox, Drugdealer, Benny Sings and Prep, echoes of soft-rock icons Ned Doheny, Boz Scaggs, Todd Rundgren and Michael Franks also ripple gently through the album.

Paul Hillery returns with the latest mix in the Beached series of modern day yacht rock and AOR Disco releases.  "A slightly warped C90 left out in the sun too long, glitched and gently baked," he says. "Oozing summer vibes, the sound of the sea and cocktails by the pool, all touched by the hand of Yacht…"

Beached 3: Touched by the Hand of Yacht by Paul Hillery

Short set from Sublime Saturdays Episode VI: The Three of Us. Check out the Gelato Vero Sublime Saturdays folder for previous episodes and for the accompanying mix from Emily Moon and Cardboard Psychic. Theirs was a spiritual reset that hit just right as the sun said its goodbye. This week's theme was more-or-less 80s, but I managed to sneak one in from the 90s, because the vibe demanded it! Had a couple of hiccups because I tried to power through the glare, rather than planning ahead. This one's all edits, remixes, or covers that oscillates between Downtempo, Industrial, EBM, 80s, and New Wave. Feel free to share and like if you enjoy it!

These tracks were purchased in lossless if they weren't downloaded from Soundcloud. If you like a track, please purchase it, and support the artist by buying their merch and going to their shows if you can.

In 2015, the four members of Prep came together to cut deep grooves that mine contemporary R&B and electronica while hearkening back to the soft, sheer sound of the late ’70s and early ‘80s. The love for that style united vocalist-lyricist Tom Havelock, keyboardist Llywelyn Ap Myrddin, drummer Guillaume Jambel, and producer Dan Radclyffe. Prep is pop music that feels tip-of-the-tongue familiar even though you’ve never heard it before. They have a massive following in some Asian countries, especially Indonesia, Thailand and The Philippines, collaborating with local stars Live and in recording. Their self titled debut album arrived in 2020, followed by “The Programme” (produced by Renaud Letang) from 2024, featuring the original version of “Call It”, their cooperation with legend Eddie Chacon (of Charles & Eddie – “Would I Lie To You” fame). So how did the collab come together? We asked the Preps: “The first time we heard Eddie Chacon’s “Holy Hell” we fell in love with it instantly and thought “we have to do something with this guy”. A year later we were going to be in L.A. for a few days, so we had a word with our label, they got in touch, and next thing we knew there was a session in the diary.
That one day with Eddie at the Stones Throw studios in Pasadena was one of the best we’ve ever had, where everything just happened very naturally: we met, we got on, had tacos, Eddie had a melody idea, we put a beat down, chords down, the equipment worked, the stars aligned… We wrote “Call It” in an afternoon. It’s “Georgy Porgy”, it’s “Always There”, but really it’s neither. It’s us and Eddie Chacon, channeling a lot of good feeling through a roomful of drum boxes, synths - and an electric sitar.”
We here at TSTD headquarter are huge fans of the original track already, but we quickly had the idea to have L.A.’s Turbotito remix the track… and a dream come true.

Compilation exclusive!

Lovetempo is the brainchild of Mattie Safer, known for his work as the singer and bassist of Poolside and The Rapture. For Safer, Lovetempo has been a way to fuse saudade sentimentality and jazz-funk with modern dancefloor sensibilities. Following a run of well-received releases on Brooklyn tastemakers Razor-N-Tape and toucan sounds, Lovetempo now brings TSTD this special edit of his cover of Anita Baker’s “Same Ole Love (365 Days a Year),”. The track features New York nightlife icon Prince Terrence on vocals, bringing his signature touch to a timeless classic. Originally self-released in 2023, Lovetempo has extended and dubbed out their original version, transforming it into a hypnotic slow-disco groove that feels as cool and effortless as a summer breeze. Expect warm falsetto floating over the most laid-back, organic disco-bossa rhythms. Tasting notes: perfect for brunches, poolside parties, getting ready for a night out, or winding down after the club with a chilled Loire Valley red, this track is a stylish, feel-good essential for any occasion. The original was TSTD’s favorite track of 2024, there was only one problem... it wasn’t long enough! So please enjoy this delightfully extended, slightly dubbed version.

Young Gun Silver Fox (London) 
compilation exclusive track
Not a lot of introduction needed here. London based soul brothers Andy Platt “The Young Gun” and Shawn Lee “The Silver Fox” met back in 2005, but busy men that they are, it took until 2018 for their now legendary debut album to arrive. Never had the modern Neo Westcoast sounded warmer, fresher and more sophisticated – a truly timeless retro-futurist debut. Their contribution here is very special, a collaboration with two other legends of the past, Robbie Nevil and Steve Lindsey. As Shawn explains: “In January 2024, Andy and I went to L.A. to do some writing before we embarked on a US tour with Young Gun Silver Fox. We holed up in the Santa Monica beach front studio of L.A. music veteran Steve Lindsey. We were also joined there by Robbie Nevil of “C’est La Vie” fame. A normal YGSF Monday! It quickly became quite clear that our very first effort ‘Curious’ was sounding very YGSF!” Here at TSTD we have long held a hope of getting these cats on board, so we couldn’t be happier to finally have this stunning Westcoast soul classic exclusive.

AOR Disco was started in 2009 with a mission to rediscover the lost golden age of Adult Orientated Rock. From the beardy acoustic era of late 1960s Laurel Canyon to the white-suited Yacht Rock yuppies of the early 1980s, AOR Disco seeks out the best in vintage Californian drive-time hits, soft-rock disco, psychedelic funk, and the kind of obscure album tracks you might find at the back of your dad's record collection.

AOR is back and you need never say sorry for liking this music ever again.

As the son of a professional flamenco singer, Thomas has always been surrounded by music.  Exposure to flamenco influenced him because it has a dynamic range of emotions—from the "deep singing" style of cante hondo, to the more lively alegrias.  He has also worked in the corporate, independent, and online music industry for a number of years.  At one point he was a Content Manager for the Electronic Music genre at MP3.com, where he screened over 500 songs per day.  Exposure to a wide range of music explains the range of genres in his mixes—he uses whatever carries the mood.  From listening to Umm Kulthum's "Enta Omri" in his childhood, to New Wave and  Industrial as a teen, it became difficult for him to stick to one sound. Though vinyl was his original format of choice when he started in the 90s, the use of digital mixing has helped him better form soundscapes to expand your headspace.  Let him play with your moods for a spell.
