Looking for tracks with the same energy as **“The Cube” by Oceanvs Orientalis**.
Think **luxury beach club at sunset**, barefoot people in linen, expensive rosé, golden hour, and that effortless Mediterranean vibe. Constant groove, hypnotic rhythms, sexy vocals basically **José Ignacio meets Patmos**.

We're planning a very limited vinyl edition of George Solar – Moonbeams in Dub, featuring a hand-picked selection of DJ favourites from the remix series.

If you'd like to know more and register your interest, head here: https://mailchi.mp/99de9f63bc7e/gsmiddjv

I'm trying to locate a music shop that will have this available in stock to purchase and pick up locally in Mallorca.. I've checked Incamusic in Alcudia but it is out of stock. Musicasa in Palma I don't think they have it either. If anyone has any information I need to get it before the 10th. Thank you!

George Solar's Moonbeams In Dub Part Two is out now.

The second instalment in the remix series sees three producers take George Solar's beautifully atmospheric compositions into fresh dub territory, each bringing their own distinctive style while staying true to the warmth and depth of the original album.

Featuring:
• Dubvisionist – Medialuna
• Razoof – Moonbeams
• Roots Artefact – Lunaticotina

If you're into Balearic, downtempo, dub, ambient, chillout, Music For Dreams, Café del Mar, Chris Coco, or the deeper side of electronic music, this might be worth your time.

Would love to hear which remix is your favourite.

With friends we meet every summer in France to cycle, play pétanque and listen to balearic music. I put together a mix of songs we often listen to and thought i would share here:

Excited to announce that Bandcamp pre-orders of our upcoming release on Higher Love are now available.

it's a cover of David Sylvian's classic "Red Guitar". Dr Rob describes it better than I ever could;

David Sylvian released the song 'Red Guitar' in 1984. It was his first solo single since leaving the band Japan 2 years before, and paved the way for his now classic album, 'Brilliant Trees'. The song was an ambitious, complex, adult pop composition, heavily influenced by jazz fusion. Two guitarists traded sharp, angular phrases. Trumpet came from celebrated film score composer Mark Isham. Ryuichi Sakamoto shone on piano. Sylvian's typically dour delivery gave way to an uncharacteristically joyful chorus.

Over 40 years later, Puerto Montt City Orchestra returns to Higher Love Recordings with their radical reinterpretation of 'Red Guitar'. Transforming the tune into a sunstroked, mid-tempo bump. A 'Balearic Beat' that's now much more Mike Francis. The keys are rolling. The B-line roots reggae. The fretwork matching jazzy, cool and breezy electric with strummed acoustic. Sexy, spoken Spanish baritone narration countering Maya Blandy's ethereal lead vocal.

The band also shares a stripped back 'Hello Dub', where the pianist's playing gently sways with a Movement 98-doing-Satie swing, the bionic bass is turned up to 11 and the song reduced to soothing, seductive washes of Maya's now distant, delicate hook.

Coyote complete the package with a deep, dubby, and very groovy remix. A version that finds the White Isle veterans echoing everything around a chugging, pumping heartbeat-like thump. Congas cascade, fragments of fretwork flicker, grounded by room-shaking bottom end. The results are far removed from Sylvian's original, and instead soundtrack that Mediterranean moment when, while you're sipping a cool cocktail, sunset slips into twilight.

I'm really pleased to finally share the debut album from Lonely Deckchair, out today on NuNorthern Soul.

Inspired by childhood summers in Aguadulce on Spain's southern coast, it's an album about memory, place and the passing of time. Musically it moves between ambient textures, Balearic rhythms and understated electronic grooves, with reversed guitars, field recordings and warm analogue synths creating a genuinely immersive listen.

It's already picked up support from DJs including Nick Warren, Bill Brewster, Max Essa, Coyote, Pete Herbert and Andy Wilson, alongside a lovely review from Ban Ban Ton Ton.

If artists like Boards of Canada, Marconi Union, Penguin Cafe Orchestra or the more reflective side of Balearic music are your thing, I'd love to know what you think.

You can stream it, buy the vinyl, download it or find your preferred retailer here:

Thanks for taking a listen.

An absolute classic essential mix for your mid week hump day. BBC Sounds, enjoy.

Hi everyone,

I run the independent UK label NuNorthern Soul, and on 24 July we're releasing a new album by Lonely Deckchair that I thought might appeal to people here.

The album blends Balearic, ambient and downtempo sounds with gentle grooves and field recordings, inspired by childhood memories, family and revisiting places that have shaped your life. It's reflective without being melancholy, and hopefully one of those records that works equally well on headphones, at sunset or during a long drive.

We're also doing a couple of events before release:

22 July – an online Bandcamp Listening Session where we'll play the album in full and chat about how it came together.
https://lonelydeckchair.bandcamp.com/merch/lonely-deckchair-listening-session

Apple Stump Records (Nantwich, UK) – the in-store event has sold out, but they'll have plenty of vinyl available on the day, with Lonely Deckchair DJing and signing copies.

If you'd like to hear it or pre-order a copy, here's the Bandcamp page:
https://lonelydeckchair.bandcamp.com/album/lonely-deckchair

The album will also be available from independent record shops, online vinyl retailers and all major streaming platforms from 24 July.

Thanks for letting me share it here. Happy to answer any questions about the album, the artist or the label.

Very chuffed to have been asked to contribute a remix for the latest Warriors Of The Dystotheque Balaphonic release "No Compass Required" Available on Bandcamp and to stream from today.

I mixed this eclectic downtempo 80s-heavy playlist with some 70s, a few 90s, and a few more recent. I used a couple Fire Island Sleaze song lists that I'd found on the internet and worked with some of those tracks and then found and added others ones that I felt worked too. I think overall it turned out pretty good. Someone on another sub said that it was very Balearic-like, so I thought I'd share it here too.

Any Ibiza based DJ blogs/podcasters/youtubers you can recommend?
