Its that time of year when thoughts turn to lazy afternoons down the beach, early evenings sat watching White Isle sunsets and sticky nights of loved-up debauchery. In other words, it s the perfect time to dive into the latest volume in the consistet Balearic compilation series. There s naturally much to admire in the now-familiar Cafe Del Mar/Cafe Mambo style, from the horizontal, flute-laden samba shuffle of The Madrigals The Ride to the Moon and Shay Lovers exceedingly drowsy Black & White, to the warm chords and head-nodding beats of Steve Cobby s remix of Tradewinds by Penelope Antena, and tropical exuberance of Maajos Musa Paradisa. Best of all, though, is Mudd s impeccable Mix for Emma of Zee Erf s blissful cover of Southern Freeez, which is one of the most stunning tracks you ll hear all year.
