Review: Channelling earthly spirits more than ever before on this latest Summer Sol compilation is a vast collection of artists who are clearly deft in the art of combining traditional and acoustic elements with amplified production processes of the modern day. Filled with deep and techy sounds all the more, this compilation brims with the spiritual klang of ancient percussive teachings, tasteful pan pipes and plucked strings from the world over. Find this alongside epic basslines in Yamil's "Hedia", Ayala's jazz-tipped "Spectre" to the slower-motion and chugging beats of "Vimana (feat Helia Jamali)". And for that dubby tip, we suggest "Shantallion" by Novalima & Israel Vich.
Review: According to the label, Global Entry is a place for psychedelic, left-field music, and it sounds like they have succeeded in their approach. This compilation starts with the slightly ominous, mid-tempo chugging groove of Iorie's "Dangerous Love", before moving into "El Teatro de lso Suenos" from PAAX (Tulum). Based on a similar tempo, it goes deeper, with evocative vocals unfolding over piano keys and a melancholic groove that calls to mind Ibizan sunsets. Anthony Middleton of Audiofly fame adds some techy beats on "Energy is Currency" but even here the mood remains reflective thanks to the use of dreamy synths and a female vocal intoning the words to Simon & Garfunkel's evergreen the Sound of Silence.
