Review: Some brilliant business for self-styled "Balearic silverbacks" here, as producer Jesse Fahnestock joins forces with singer-songwriter Emilia Harmony as Electric Blue Vision. Drifting along at a head-nodding 92BPM, 'Other Skies' is an immersive and dreamy slab of sunrise pop rin in effects-laden vocals, glistening guitars, hazy chords and warming bass. It comes with a trio of terrific remixes: a properly dubby and effects-heavy Hardway Brothers take that recalls the work of Andrew Weatherall circa 1990, a gently throbbing, mind-mangling take courtesy of NuNorthern Soul sorts Tambores En Benirras, and a Balearic Ultras revision that re-imagines the track as a nine-minute chunk of slow-motion dub house haziness.
Review: Higher Love Recordings enlists a global array of talents to completely reimagine Jazxing's Pearls Of The Baltic Sea LP, and the results are nothing short of spectacular. From Brooklyn-based Italian Danilo Braca's epic 12-minute transformation of "Fala" to Polotronic's hi-energy reimagining of "W Uscisku" that channels '80s synth-pop - this remix compilation is a sonic journey filled with diverse and reimagined material. Further in, James Bright's remake of "Artifacts" delivers a stripped-back, electronic stomp, while Andres y Xavi's take on "Hyacinth" creates a hazy sunrise atmosphere with acoustic guitar and fragile folk vocals. Das Komplex, Janka, and Balearic Ultras further contribute to compilation with each their own unique interpretation, while Nottingham's Is It Balearic? crew, Coyote, concludes the comp with an organic, percussive campfire groove in their remix of "Vijnana".
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.
