Ark Of Lark (6:17)
Ark Of Lark (Layne Night Vision mix) (6:19)
Ark Of Lark (40 Thieves dub extension) (7:10)
Review: Paul Mudd Murphy's Claremont 56: accept no substitute. Yet more quality Balearic gems from this camp, this time courtesy of Simon Peter, who follows up last year's great Double Up EP on Silhouette Music. "Ark Of Lark" is the kind of blunted, sun-kissed, road trip soundtrack you could imagine playing in your rented Cadillac as you drive out to visit the Joshua Tee in Southern California. With its blues guitar, pan pipes, bongos and Rhodes.. you just cant go wrong. The "Layne Night Vision Mix" gets funkier and definitely a lot tougher with its buzzing synth bass being the centre of it all and the addition of a drummer's sturdy beat to give it momentum. Also on the flip is the "40 Thieves dub extension" which does exactly what it says on the cover: focusing on that rolling bassline and stripping back a few layers for a more immersive experience.

Review: It's been a fine year for Mark Barrott's International Feel with the Jose Padilla album an undoubted centrepiece. The Ibiza label aren't quite done for the year however, with Lingua Franca from Len Leise marking the onset of a series of mini-album projects from International Feel aimed around a loose concept for artists to "show more of who they are musically without the constraints of the traditional album format." Few had heard of Leise until he was featured on International Feel last year, but the Australian has gone on to score a rather fine record for the like-minded Aficionado operation as well as contribute to that killer Paradise Goulash mix from Prins Thomas. Some seven tracks deep, Lingua Franca finds Leise crafting "an imaginary journey based on real experiences," with Morocco, Spain, Russia, India and Brazil providing the inspiration for the clearly well-travelled musician. Sumptuous Balearica is of course the order of the day, with the occasional dalliance into something a bit more dancefloor appropriate ("O Caminho"), and ensures Lingua Franca is a fine start for a series that promises contributions from Gatto Fritto, CFCF and Wolf Muller.

Flares

Strange Attractor
Isle Of Tears
Presence Of The Past
Higher Love
Review: Whereas certain trends and producers regress or digress at a moment's whim, ESP Institute remain steadily on their own unique stylistic path overseen by Andrew Lovefingers Hogge from his NYC base and propelled gently on the wave of critical acclaim afforded to the litany of diverse artists that release on the label. Following serene and sublime dancefloor emissions from Michael Ozone and Young Marco, ESP Institute invite you to bask in something even gentile with the self titled debut album from Land Of Lights. A collaborative project from ESP regular Johnny Nash and former Spectral Empire producer Kyle Martin that's been in gestation for some time, Land Of Lights comes with the advance warning that "if you don't have time to really listen, please do not buy this record. If your mind is not ready to unwind, please do not buy this record". "Flares" sets the tone that justifies this warning, laying down all manner of meditative textures before any discernable rhythmic force appears. While that opening track is undoubtedly the most expansive production from Nash and Martin, the subsequent five productions retain the sumptuous levels of production throughout and it'd be a truly angry man to reach the end of "Higher Love" in anything other than a blissful high.

Achilles (4:24)
Tidens Tand (6:43)
Effeckt (3:45)
Stillhetens Hav (3:46)
Vattern (2:24)
Review: Juan Taramera's Back To The Balearics imprint runs out of Ibiza (naturally!) and has previously released the likes of Max Essa, Maricopa and Spleen: so you can trust he knows what he's doing. This time it's Stockholm's Fabror Resande Mac, who appeared previously on the label in 2014 with the Magma EP. On the A side "Achilles" gallops away slowly and eloquently in minimal fashion, the perfect intro for the wonderfully summery and Balearic (yep!) "Tiddens Tand" that you could imagine hearing on a beach in Tisno, Croatia circa '86.. or 2016 for that matter. On the flip "Effeckt" is bitter and melancholic, like something from a forgotten old film soundtrack, while final track "Vattern" is a creepy and sinister minimal synth jam that closes out this imaginary short film, just perfectly.

Review: Parisian enfant terribles Antinote are back and this time present us with Nico Motte, the label's in-house graphic designer and one half of graphic design entity Check Morris. Following up 2014's Rhelogia EP, Motte serves up a brilliantly eclectic album exploring the Balearic, cosmic and downbeat across this fascinating journey. Starting out with the "Tema D'Amore" which sounds like something early 80's film soundtrack that was rescued for the cutting room floor, there's also the vintage Chicago house vibes of "ICA", the sombre and breathtaking ambience of "Tiger For Breakfast" and the sultry minimal disco of "Tacotac" among others. Music for modern lovers, young poets and the artists.

Quando (7:49)
Adriatic Bolt (4:37)
I Don't Care Who You Are (4:30)
Quiet Force (5:40)
Review: According to their Soundcloud page, the Balearic Gabba Sound System are "geezers with a common love for sonically weird, feel good, bona fide recordings with a twist..." and that's good enough for us! Marco Gallerani, Bjorn Torske and even Prins Thomas are rumoured to have been involved in the project. Following up some great releases and remixes on on Hell Yeah and Secret Life, they land on Phil South's stellar Golf Channel and get stuck in straight away on "Quando" a hazy, psychedelic and slow burning epic for the early evening punters or the early morning sunrise alike. "Adriatic Bolt" is a cute little pop-inflected 80's style number while "I Dont Care Who You Are" gets back to the chill-out room on this beatless cosmic affair, featuring some pretty impressive vocals. The bubblegum acid of "Quiet Force" closes out proceedings appropriately.

Speedboat (Peaking Lights discodub) (5:49)
Rasta Beach (AL Breadwinner dub version) (4:30)
Tendacayou (2814 remix) (6:08)
Dominica (Kenneth Bager sunset ambient mix) (5:25)
Review: Not being satisfied with his debut for Music For Dreams - coming through on the label with the wonderful Island LP - man like Ruf Duggles is back on the Danish imprint with some brutally sublime remixes of the tunes featured on it. The always excellent Peaking Lights reshapes "Speedboat" into a dubby, chilled-out kinda jam, while AL Breadwinner proceeds to deconstruct "Rasta Beach" and turns it into a minimal dub groover fort the after hours. On the flip, 2814 mystifies "Tendacayou" into a wave, air-filled lick in a new age kind of vibe, whereas Kenneth Bager goes all balearic on us for "Dominica". Lovely.
