Review: Simon Greene aka. Bonobo is set to put forth yet another album from his own personal ether; 'Fragments' was born from actual sonic 'fragments' that were later repurposed into twelve full 'sonic affirmations'. A later escape into the wilds of California's deserts formed the bulk of this album's downtempo magnum opi; watch out for collabs with a foray of world-downtempo electronica acts including Jamila Woods, O'Flynn and Miguel Atwood-Ferguson. One of his most heartfelt albums, expect all from lilting future garage ('Rosewood') to rave-nostalgic slow builds.

Miama
Noche De Blanco
Danza Del Sol
Review: Magic Wand is a Balearic/disco/funk/ re-edit label that is part of the Is It Balearic? family of labels. For its sixth edition in the Special Editions series, they have got New York City via Ibiza-based legend Willie Graf with DJ Pippi, who combine powers again to drop an EP of 'muy balear edits'. From the low-slung heater 'Miama' to the sensual slo-mo funk of 'Noche De Blanco' over on the B side, which is followed by the late night disco deviance of 'Danza Del Sol' with its sweltering Latin rhythms playing centre stage throughout.

Energia Mistica (Seahawks Mystic Energy mix) (14:41)
Energia Mistica (Leo Mas & Fabrice remix) (8:48)
Pour Yourself A Drink (bonus track) (4:47)
Review: At almost 15 minutes deep and with all manner of warming, loved-up instrumental and vocal elements featured throughout, Expositions' 2020 Balearic gem 'Energia Mistica' is ripe for remixing. Balearic Social Records boss Andy Pye thinks so too, hence this belated remix package. Italian veterans Leo Mas and Fabrice, who first worked together at the turn of the '90s, fittingly step up first and deliver a deliciously hazy, intoxicating and delay-laden rework that adds echoing vocal snippets and drifting snippets of vocal, guitar and keys to a chugging, heady groove. Fellow Balearic maestros Seahawks provide an epic, slow-motion 'Mystic Energy' re-make that sits somewhere between drowsy, sunrise-ready ambient and softly spun Balearica, while bonus cut 'Pour Yourself a Drink' is a laidback Balearic disco shuffler.

Review: If you're looking for something suitably vibrant, colourful, summery and laidback to alleviate the winter blues, Tolga Boyuk's fourth album as Islandman should hit the spot. Musically diverse but sonically coherent thanks to his love of whispered, multi-lingual vocals and undoubted musical skills, the album's kaleidoscopic and ear-catching cuts offer a widescreen take on Balearica that draws on styles including Turkish psyche-funk, dub, dancehall, cosmic disco chuggers, Italo-disco, quirky synth-pop, West African rhythms, traditional Indonesian music, Latin drum jams and much more besides. Throw in a couple of ultra-dreamy, woodwind-and-strings-laden ambient excursions and you have a genuinely brilliant collection of inspired musical fusions.

Review: The acclaimed Kito Jempere joins Cherrystones and DJN4 on the label for 2020, with an album full of international minds. Working with array of collaborators across a cast of friends including Jimi Tenor, Wolfram, Hard Ton, Lipelis, Rich Thair (Red Snapper), Ruf Dug, Cedric Gasaida (Azari & III) and many more, presenting this, his third long play.

A hail of freedom of thoughts and voices before these changed times, recorded and shared across continents. Kito - following releases with DFA, Lo Recordings, Bordello A Parigi, Hell Yeah and Duca Bianco - acts as curator rather than conductor, the idea not to transform the contributions but allow them absolute.

Sending music and receiving back, nothing was touched to keep the truth and honour. From Tokyo to London, Berlin to his base in St Petersburg, trusting the chosen artists led to a broad palette, as his 4/4 driven funk expands with Jazz horns to Motorik percussion, Avant-Reich vocals to White Isle melodies, J Pop Balearics to Chanson stories wrapped around Club memories.

A true world meeting, crossing borders and genres. An eye on the dance floor and week long chill outs. With remixes from the likes of Samo DJ, Lipelis, Cable Toy and more to follow, this is more than Yet Another Kito Jempere Album.

Review: Dan Whitford, Mirko Vogel and Mike Gamwell make up the ambient electronica trio Hypernatural, who present their debut LP here on limited vinyl. By any interpretation - from 'Spirit Walk' to 'Valley' - this self titled bit is a mini-album of sultry, monsoon-season builders, drawing on two trips the group made to the Scottish coast and highlands respectively - intentionally traversing its wilderness to find inspiration. The stark beauty of Scotland's pines and valleys seems to coalesce with the promise of future tech (the group mention 5G as an inspiration), as a rich pastoral picture, reminiscent of the work of Rival Consoles or Bonobo, is painted with cleanly rounded depth.

Review: Martina Topley Bird's new studio album and fourth full length Forever I Wait is another triumph with some high level collaborations. Featuring on the 12 tunes are the likes of Robert Del Naja of Massive Attack, Rich Morel, Benjamin Boeldt and Tiadiad, but this is the artist's first self produced and self curated work. It makes for an expansive listen that reflects on the "fragilities of life" on its quest to make peace with what life is. Musically the record has a haunting, early trip hop quality while Topley;s voice always cuts through with its mysterious and soft edge but lyrically poignancy.

Review: Stevie Kotey is the label head at Ambassador's Reception and also the man behind the Steamy Window alias. He has been digging in the archives and decided to relaunch his label with some superbly laidback Balearic sounds that have us casting out minds forward to summer in an instant. These are in collaboration with Californian artist Woolfy and are two balmy, sun-soaked and blue-eyed downtempo grooves with breezy guitars riffs, gentle synth waves lapping at your feet and sprinkles of skyward melody. This is a welcome return to the fore for this tasteful label.

Review: Here at Faze Action HQ we have dived deep into the vaults to unearth some of our more Balearic sounds, with lost B sides and overlooked 2nd tracks. Showcasing the warmer and more melodic side to the label, we've included some chilled, poolside dance moments to accompany the summer ahead. Starting off with Faze Action and Zeke Manyika's "Chiiko", which is rich in melody, as acoustic guitars and sweeping string arrangements fuse with Zeke's stunning vocal, sung in his native Shona. From here we move onto some Mediterranean Jazz Funk Vibes courtesy of Rudy's Midnight Machine, as the compilation criss crosses between more poolside dance floor friendly tracks, like Micky Milan's "C'est Une Bombe", and more intimate and laid back sunset moments, such as the unreleased extended version of "Wind chimes", which appears on this compilation for the first time. We hope you enjoy the selection and the summer vibes.

Review: Brooklyn's Wonderwheel Recordings welcomes Argentinian Lagartijeando aka Mati Zundel back to the fray two years after his much loved album Jallalla. This is another vast and expansive album that takes heavy inspiration from the artist's travels throughout Latin America with his signature shuffling and psychedelic rhythms underpinning each tune. There are earworm Brazilian melodies, sun kissed synths, traditional Moroccan Gnawa instrumentation and plenty of subtle folk string sounds next to a rich array of vocal samples all making this record come alive from the front to the back.

Review: Aquilo started out on Island Records in 2017 with their debut album Silhouettes, and they quickly followed that up with the similarly atmospheric ii. After that initial rush, the gentle songsmiths have taken a few years out before returning with A Safe Place To Be. In that time, they've been patient in developing their core sound, and blue-eyed balladry is very much still the core tenet of their sound. Subtly ornamenting tracks like 'Our Bones Turn To Stone' with electronic pulses while keeping their vocal harmonies and piano playing at the forefront, it's a mature and considered album which should keep existing fans very happy indeed.
