repress - a vision of panorama cooks up another multicourse balearic banquet. this time hes flexed his generous, soft-centred sonics on mellophonia. each cut a breezy, warm synth odyssey, highlights include the groove-heavy strutter heartbeat (thanks to its loose sloppy bassline and confident synth shots) and the piano-tickling finale mosaic xylos (thanks to its flighty broken drums and arpeggiated insistency). the only thing to be wary of here is the misleading title: there is more than one seaside tune here theyre all primed for the beach. and pretty much any other activity or location you have planned this summer.

phat funky deep house

having thus far released eps for aficionado and music for dreams, a vision of panorama return to their regular haunt mellophonia to expand on the promise of their shorter works to go deep into a balearic dream on aquafusion. it s a perfect meditation on serene funk from start to finish, spanning eight tracks of tender musicianship that sit very easy on the ears. the likes of surf blue almost do away with drums entirely in a quest for calm, while barbados and others offer up a more sprightly vision of 80s-flavoured groove, but throughout the mysterious hands behind the record maintain a smooth and steady mood that binds the album together.

after completing a hat trick of essential releases with seaside tune, russia s king of lilting melodies, coastal flavours and sunkissed sounds returns with his latest must have release.

excellent debut ep from paradisica with warm night balearic dance vibes across all 4 tracks. a side, beautiful romantic dance grooves for the sunset hour. the flip amore brings a sexy and upbeat late 80s house vibe with a driving pete herbert mix to keep the party going strong

the debut record of ritmolider kaleidoscope is a traditional studio work with live performance and classic analog sound. being in the era of nu disco and re edits the author has tried to find his own way of making music based on traditional methods of performance. and hes got a beautiful symbiosis of instrumental improvisations and electronic melodiousness. at the begining of the record theres a superb remix by the beat broker - deep, groovy synth disco, highly recomended for dancefloor! the second track is a journey into obscure psychedelic funk with lots of improvisations and atmospheric tunes....a pity so sweet percussions are added so late. b2 tonight at the discotheque will carry you away by the real soviet disco vibe. a beautiful arp solo softly flowing through amazing effects and acoustic drums focused on free played funky basslines. the original version of kaleidoscope is also a very interesting one. a mood of this composition is changed all the time. the first seconds of the track you hear a tender melodic solo which makes you feel calm and relaxed, then you get the groove coming from an agressive arpeggio and dinamic percussion. soon this feeling gets interrupted with a sudden slap bass impromtu playing together with a synthy accompaniment, and it turns into another feeling, and so on... this really reminds of kaleidoscope effect!
