Review: A single-track offering here from Permanent Vacation. 'Drop Wet Gorgeous' is taken from Tom Bioly AKA TB's 2019 debut album 'A Call For Romance' and blends elements of deep house, nu-disco and progressive/melodic house into one shimmering, spangly concoction that was surely built with summer dancefloors in mind. Opening with hefty 4/4s and tizzy hi-hats and underpinned by a nice squelchy 303-style bassline, the track builds and builds throughout its duration, making it an ideal choice for raising the crowd's energy levels just before you drop that sure-fire crowd-pleasing anthem.
Review: Last seen operating on Internasjonal with the delay-laden nu-disco drugginess of "Space Is The Place", Zombies In Miami pitch up on Permanent Vacation for the very first time. "Frodo" sees the long-serving Mexican duo charging off in a different direction, one that sits somewhere between vintage Inner City, the more crystalline end of the Italo-disco spectrum and the piano-heavy Balearic house revivalism of Tuff City Kids. The edited version packs a punch of course, but we'd suggest checking the full-length mix (track two), where the track's cascading synthesizer lead lines, rushing piano house riffs and bubbly, arpeggio-driven groove rise and fall throughout. The result is a giddy, loved-up workout of epic proportions.
Review: Tom Mangan AKA Tee Mango has been in fine form over the last couple of years, with recent EPs on Aus Music and Delusions of Grandeur further enhancing his reputation. He's in fine fettle on this tasty two-tracker, too - his first for long-serving Munich imprint Permanent Vacation. 'You Are The Sun' is available in two versions, each tailored to fit a specific time and mood. The 'Sun Up' mix that kicks off the single is glassy-eyed and melodious, with warming female vocal samples, twinkling piano motifs, looped synth stabs and electric guitar flourishes wrapping around a chunky groove. In contrast, the 'Sun Down' mix sounds perfect for early evening outdoor dancing thanks to its alluring mix of flutering synthesizer motifs, squeezable synth-bass and deliciously dreamy chords.
