Review: 14 months on from the release of its predecessor, Chris Coco offers up the third volume in his ongoing Balearic Classics series. OK, so the 'classics' in question all come from the archives of his sun-soaked, chill out-inspired DSPPR label, but there's no denying the quality of the warming, mostly slow-motion music on show. Check first the gorgeous slow-motion Balearic boogie of Antonio Prosper's 'Electro Balear', before admiring the dubbed-out Balearic pop exotica of Coyoye & Florecer's 'The Biggest', the dubby Balearic house shuffle of Coco Steel & Lovebomb's 'La Isla', the head-nodding Mediterranean hip-hop of Sadeedo's 'Asafeer Portixol' and the almost overwhelming beauty of LOVA's 'Madre Padre (To The End Edit)'.
Review: To celebrate notching up a half-century of releases on his DSPPR label, Chris Coco has put together a mini album of musical gems from his bulging back catalogue. It's a mixture of classics, collaborations and sought-after remixes, with plenty to savour throughout. The experienced producers first serves up some blissful, slow-motion loveliness - the deep bass, looped electronics and opaque pads of '7pm, Somewhere Offshore', before giving us a chance to enjoy Coyote's dubby, bluesy, delay-laden re-fix of Coco's collaboration with George Solar, 'Lagrimas De San Lorenzo'.Elsewhere, Coco's uca Averna hook-up 'High Waves' is a tactile, old school deep house treat, A Man Called Adam's classic rework of 'Yachts' is a samba-soaked, jazz-flecked, bass-heavy delight, and 'Reverse Dub' (with Orkidea) is a top-notch chunk of hazy ambient dub.
