The Clean Trip
Magic Eyes - (6:07) 100 BPM
Lobster Boys - (4:19) 95 BPM
Plastic Bones - (5:09) 110 BPM Hot
Blind Horizons - (4:49) 125 BPM
Review: Singer-songwriter David Harks has collaborated with a surprisingly wide range of artists over recent years, notching up releases alongside soulful house legend Rasmus Faber, German nu-disco star Satin Jackets, and British Balearic scene stalwart Mudd. On his latest collaborative project, the Clean Trip, he's joined forces with another Balearic sort - Tokyo-based Brit Max Essa. The four tracks on show genuinely present the best of both artists' work, with Harks' lilting, eyes-closed vocals offering a perfect accompaniment to Essa's colourful synths, tactile chords, retro-futurist intent and softly spun grooves. Our picks of a very strong bunch are the slow-motion, piano stab-sporting joy of 'Magic Eyes', the slow-motion bliss of 'Blind Horizons', and the immersive breakbeat house lusciousness of 'Plastic Bones'.

Review: Hazy, mellow grooves sitting somewhere between Balearica, nu-disco and psychedelia are the order of the day on this five-tracker from singer-songwriter and sometime Mudd, Satin Jackets and Rasmus Faber collaborator David Harks, which is brought to you by Amity Recordings. The lively, uptempo instrumental 'Surrender' kicks things off, after which things get a bit more west coast and paisley-fied on 'Sunshine Cowboy'. 'The Aggregator' and 'State Of The Art' then bring hints of 80s pop before 'The Dawn' plays us out on a slightly more driving and more overtly electronic note.

Susta (Ron Trent remix) - (7:19) 115 BPM
Susta (Ron Trent dub) - (7:26) 115 BPM Hot
Review: David Harks is a British singer-songwriter based in Berlin, who used to be the frontman of an indie band. Since deciding to explore the world of electronic music he's worked with Nang regulars Satin Jackets and become a member of the FSOL-affiliated Amorphous Androgynous collective; then, back in March, he teamed up with nu-disco veteran Mudd, AKA Paul N Murphy, on 'Susta', and now here come two fresh rubs courtesy of deep house legend Ron Trent. Think the kind of soulful, sophisticated grown-up dance pop peddled by the likes of Moloko, Crazy P or Ananda Project, and you'll have a good idea what to expect here.

Review: In its original form, Paul 'Mudd' Murphy's first collaboration with David Harks and Icelandic songstress JaneLy is a bubbly and hugely evocative chunk of Balearic synth-pop that sounds like a sunset anthem in waiting. It's genuinely great, and the Emperor Machine's accompanying remixes are equally as inspired. The former Chicken Lips man delivers Vocal and Instrumental versions of his main pass - a typically sparse, mind-altering affair that wraps analogue synth bubbles and wayward electronics around a chugging beat - as well as an even more spaced out "Lovers Dub" that cleverly incorporates a few more elements from Harks and Murphy's original whilst adding copious amounts of delay and even more cosmic electronics.

Northern Lights
Northern Lights (Carl Louis remix) - (4:31) 111 BPM Hot
Review: Belgium's Eskimo label have long since been champions of retro electro-pop and house. Here Germany's Satin Jackets see their recent yacht rock hit Northern Lights remixed into sublime and dreamy pop-trance by Carl Louis. With the original's tougher edges now smoothed out, the song becomes something else, that something else being a slow motion widescreen Euro anthem, drenched in summery synth riffs and yearning vocals courtesy of David Harks who sounds uncannily like Jake Sheers in ballad mode. A fitting end of the summer epic.
