RESIDENTES BALEARICOS Schallplatten & CDs

Review: Nunorthern Soul's fourth vinyl outing encourages you to sit back, relax, and sink into some truly horizontal sounds awash with Balearic bliss. James Bright kicks off the session with the warm glow of 'Amber' and its slowly percolating beats and painterly synths. Be.Lanuit's 'Nana A Leon' has a starry eyed charm that will get you gazing off into the night and elsewhere Norht Of The Island's 'I Feel' has a chugging groove and exotic synth work bringing plenty of colour. This is a high class EP of richly detailed downtempo brilliance.

Review: Residentes Balearicos is a new project founded by Luca Averna and Ale Doretto, both resident DJs in Ibiza hailing from Venice, Italy. Following up some great releases by the likes of Okinawa Delays and Max Essa, Archipelago present the pair's latest expression in sensual and sun kissed euphoria in the form of 'La Musica' which comes with two remixes that are equally worthy of your attention. The welcome return of Rudy's Midnight Machine (aka Simon Lee of Faze Action) taking things into perfectly low slung territory for beach side chilling, while London's Chris Coco hands in a rendition that sounds like a neon-lit night drive down the coast, on a balmy summer evening.
