CLOSED PARADISE - ALONG THE OCEAN

What do you get when one of the UK's finest music makers goes into the studio with one of Norway's fastest-rising producers? Listen to Offshore Sunsets and find out. That's exactly what happened when Fila Brazilia's Steve Cobby & Third Attempt hooked up to create some stunning sounds for their new EP.

B Human kicks things off with the first of two collaborations, and it's all kinds of rolling, hypnotic, spaced-out, Balearic business. Floating minor keys, walking bass and a gorgeous chugging guitar make it sun-blessed.

Language Of The Heart is the solo offering by Third Attempt, and is a tripped out smoker's delight. Soul II Soul, Crazy P and Nightmares on Wax can all be felt, perfect for those early evening or 'back-to-mine' sessions.

Finally, Feeling Seen sees the chaps working their collaborative magic again on a hazy, jazzy, broken beat, doozy of a track that is deep, stripped back and funky as all hell.

Coati Mundi - Que Pasa/Me No Pop I (Andy Kidd Balearic Extension)

LENG SHOP - https://lexathens.bandcamp.com/album/remixes-faze-action-ruf-dug

Alex Andrikopolous AKA Lex (Athens) released his brilliant debut album Waving in 2022 on Leng and he now returns with an EP combining fine remixes of tracks from Waving alongside two new previously unheard cuts.

The remixes are undeniably special. Fittingly, the EP begins with the first of these, a sensationally sun-soaked revision of one of Andrikopolous’s most Balearic moments – previous single ‘Punta Allen’ – by former Nuphonic fusionists and FAR label founders Faze Action. The Lee brothers’ take is one of those sunset-friendly workouts that wraps glistening guitar licks, steel pan style motifs, Lex’s gorgeous lead lines, hazy electric piano solos and life-affirming keyboard riffs around rolling nu-disco beats and a new rubbery bassline courtesy of Robin Lee himself. It has the feel of a pool-side anthem in the making.

Just as potent is the typically quirky and hard-to-pigeonhole revision of ‘Prezend’ by Manchester maverick Ruf Dug. Here he offers up a genuinely revolutionary rework, re-imaging the track as a sparse-but-colourful fusion of vintage acid house bass, saucer-eyed piano riffs, dubbed-out synth sounds, jacking lo-fi drum machine beats and squelchy TB-303 tweaks. While fresh and undeniably contemporary, the remix has an alluringly nostalgic, retro-futurist vibe. 

Clustered around these two top-notch revisions is a pair of previously unreleased Lex originals. He joins forces with regular collaborator Locke once more on ‘Libre De Amor’, an infectious chunk of, low-slung dub disco marked out by weighty bass, jammed-out electric piano motifs, spacey pads, intergalactic effects and mazy synth solos. Dotted with additional percussion hits and echoing female vocal snippets, it’s one of the pair’s most potent dancefloor workouts of recent times.

To round off a rock-solid EP, the Athens-based veteran blurs the boundaries between stripped-back, late-80s house nostalgia and nu-disco. ‘Super Awake’ boasts cowbell-sporting Chicago house beats and acid house inspired bass, on to which he’s layered all manner of colourful synth sounds, jangly piano stabs and spacey electronics. Throw in some typically immersive chords and progressively more psychedelic TB-303 motifs, and you have a genuinely triumphant conclusion to a formidably floor-focused EP.

PREMIERE: Dirtyelements & Drunkdrivers - Keep It Coming (De Gama Re-Funk Head)[Samosa Records]

Un-licensable! This is the start of a playlist of tracks, that we tried to license - sometimes like this one for 10 years already - and just cant get to the finish line. Often the rights have been sold too many times as part of rights package deals, sometimes the right owning company just doesn't give a shit.... You Never know.
As we only release fully licensed tracks in our Too Slow To Disco compilation series, we sometimes just have to pass on certain magic music moments, which breaks my heart! 

Bill House's  "You're No Better Than A Common Thief" was already on the list of tracks we tried to license in 2013 for TOO SLOW TO DISCO Volume 1! . Together with Ned Doheny's "Get It Up For Love" this was one of the songs so strong, that we decided to risk the Too Slow To Disco compilation series.
He only released two albums in his life, this track is from his debut album "Give Me A Break", produced by legendary producer Terry Melcher (The Byrds) and Beach Boy Bruce Johnston. To us (and many other Westcoast fans) this is one of the most iconic AOR/Yacht/Westcoast tracks ever released. 
RCA records released the track in 1974. The company is now owned by SONY, but they just cant find the paper works or mastertapes (or anything) for the track. If the label request doesn't work, we often try to chase down the musicians themselves, and ask them for permission (which worked in many cases) , but even that proved as a dead end.  He is nowhere to be found.
So we just can't rerelease it. What a pity. 
If you have an idea how to find him, just let us know!
