Review: The new EP, "Offshore Sunsets," by the collaborative effort of Steve Cobby (of Fila Brazilia fame) and Third Attempt washes over the listener like a warm, hazy summer evening. Released on Paper Recordings, this three-track offering is a delightful exploration of Balearic house, perfect for unwinding or soundtracking a laid-back gathering. The opening track, "B Human," sets the tone with its "rolling, hypnotic, spaced-out" vibe (as described by Paper Recordings). Floating minor keys, a walking bassline, and a gorgeously chugging guitar create a sun-drenched soundscape. This is Balearic bliss at its finest. Third Attempt takes the reins for the aptly titled "Language Of The Heart." This track leans into a more downtempo, a perfect offering for those late-night sessions or creating a chilled atmosphere. The duo reunites for the closing track, "Feeling Seen." This hazy, jazzy broken beat number brings the EP to a satisfying conclusion. Deep basslines intertwine with funky elements, showcasing the collaborative magic between Cobby and Third Attempt.
Review: Having previously appeared on Masterworks Music, Outernational and Whiskey Disco, Tomas Malo should be a familiar name to those who closely follow the house-centric side of the disco re-edit scene. Here, he pops up on Fingerman's Hot Digits imprint with a quartet of tasty treats. While the more '80s soul inclined loop jams "Like The Sun" and "Talk of Love" - the latter giving an aural nod to Tiger and Woods - are fine dancefloor cuts, it's the EP's other two tracks that really sparkle. "Slave" is a killer, metronomic rework of the band of the same name featuring a killer bassline, while opener "Body Magick" - our pick - boasts an attractive filter-heavy, French touch style disco-house swagger.
