New releases this week: All genres

Review: Phil Mison, long revered for his chill-out sets and Balearic sensibility as a DJ, not to mention over two dozen releases under his belt, returns as Cantoma with a new single that perfectly captures the spirit of sunset listening. 'Light As Before' is a gentle and evocative piece built on Latin percussion, breezy guitar work and a standout horn section that lifts the track into a golden-hour daydream. It's the kind of track that feels tailor-made for a coastal terrace, a glass in hand and nowhere to be but the present. The B-side remix is a tasteful reimagining that dials down the horns and replaces them with soft flutes and delicate acoustic textures. This version leans deeper into the groove with a more introspective yet still melodic mood. It trades some of the exuberance for warmth and depth, making it an ideal complement to the original. Both sides highlight Mison's continued mastery of Balearic downtempo.

Review: Long-serving London-based edit legends Psychemagik are back in full swing after a somewhat sporadic release schedule in recent years, showing up here with the sixth instalment of their 'Undercover Lovers' series. As expected, the music is precisely on point, with familiar, pop-flavoured songs presented through an off-kilter lens. First up, an obscure cover of Phil Collins' bittersweet 'Another Day In Paradise' gets the scalpel treatment, with tropical energy abounding as the melancholic melodies echo in the breeze. On the reverse, we find an equally esoteric version of BT Express' 'Do It Til You're Satisfied', with synth horns riding over throbbing bass and seductive vocals. Lord only knows where they find their source material, but one can't help but admire the duo's formidable digging chops.
