Review: Since summer is now just round the corner (in the northern hemisphere at least), thoughts will start turning to open-air anthems and future festival favourites. Here, Tensnake and Panama set their stall out for summer dancefloor domination. 'Sunshine (Extended Mix)' is as gorgeous as you'd expect, with Panama's super soulful, eyes-closed lead vocal rising above later period Daft Punk bass, sparkling synth sounds, AOR disco chords, unfussy nu-disco beats and glistening, Nile Rodgers style guitars. It's the kind of song that sounds as good on the radio as it does on the dancefloor, so you can expect to hear it a lot over the next few months.
Review: Given that his trademark brand of electronic music is rooted heavily in ambient, IDM and downtempo music, you'd expect that Scott Hansen AKA Tycho's contribution to the Back To Mine series would be full of heady, horizontal and pleasingly immersive musical treats. It is, of course, with a clutch of exclusive tracks and mixes of his own - see the breakbeat-driven IDM gorgeousness of 'PBS (live edit)' and a fresh, chunky, dub-fuelled dancefloor rework of Little Dragon's 'Little Man' - being joined by a wealth of highlights including the ultra-laidback lo-fi dream-pop of Craft Spells, the immersive bliss of Luis Lancaster, the skewed and wonky electronica of Schneider TM, the outsider house charm of Weval and the hallucinatory, sunrise-friendly breaks of Octa Octa.
