Review: Timm Sure and Richard 'Ampo' Hampso are Coyote - a deuce of eclectic house music veterans with a love for dub. For this release they team up with Brighton's Higher Love Recordings Weatherall-esque EP. "After All These Years" opens the journey with a some trip-hop-infused skank, featuring Matthew McConaughey's samples from True Detective while "Blowing Through" borrows a poem from Charles Bukowski, effortlessly blending it with bucolic electronic beats and soaring indie-guitar jangles, conjuring a wistful summer vibe. "I Hear A New World" immerses listeners in a grainy, ambient wonderland of ethereal emissions and harmonic hums, while "Next Morning Version" combines orchestral elements with cathartic drumming, creating an emotive fusion of dub, Balearic, and nu-classical sounds.
Review: This week on French nu-disco merchants Citizens Of Vice, we have the enigmatic Coyote with four servings of proper sunset balearica on the As The Crow Flies EP. Starting off with the lo-slung poolside groove of the title track, which is perfect for chilling, and receives a euphoric ambient rework by Chris Coco. Second offering "Steely Dad" will take you to a higher state of consciousness with its hypnotic textures and trippy acid sounds underpinned by mesmerising polyrhythms. The remix up next by Secret Soul Society is much more off-kilter and experimental in slo-mo fashion.
Review: Music for Dreams, the label founded by Kenneth Bager, sets out its stall for the 2019 summer season. It's no surprise that Copenhagen 2019 is a chilled out, unhurried affair. Starting with easy listening pieces from Mike Salta and Phil Mison - the latter's acoustic guitar-led "Morning Lights" is particularly memorable - it moves into low-slung disco courte-sy of the Cheapedits take on Copenema & Thomas Volmer Schulz's "Serei Sei" and the MOR-esque guitar on Rayet's "Marie-Ange" It's sometimes a challenge for chill out compilations not to veer into the wallpaper music category, but Music For Dreams avoids this conundrum with Kojo Antwi's Afro-funk and Djosos Krost's wonderfully dubbed out "That's My Woman".
