French producer Jerome Barresi assumes his Robert's Diary Palais here for a new outing on Is It Balearic that offers something a little adjacent to the norm. Opener 'Dinky Bird' is a mix of tender keys and hand claps with a soulful vocal sample that reminds of early-era Moby. Norse mainstay Bjorn Torske appears then to remix and brings some scuttling percussive sounds and watery effects over four-four drums. 'Six O Six' is a yearning dub cut packed with wild FX and 'KXP' is a zoned-out and tinny retro-future nu-disco cut that is a perfect B-side.

Mine says: If these snippets are anything to go by then this one's gonna be a winner in my book! And even though 'Dinky Bird' is the one that's getting the royalty remix treatment, I personally think the b-side is going to be the star of the show. Can already see myself playing KXP on repeat... ultra dreamy!TRACK LISTING
