Review:
For the uninitiated, Blue Marlin is a vaguely hip restaurant, bar and club space in Ibiza. Here, they prepare for a busy summer by dropping a compilation of tactile, sundown music that reflects that venue's chic and stylish values. It's a real game of two halves. The first half of the collection concentrates on touchy-feely nu-disco and Balearic moods, delivering a cracking Mad Professor dub of Miguel Migs, some low-slung Drop Out Orchestra disco and a string of lush deep house gems. The second half, meanwhile, concentrates on the Laura Jones/Maceo Plex style of house - all touchy-feely chords, shuffling grooves and dewy-eyed melodies.
