Lukas Visti X Peter Visti

Fair Winds

Is It Balearic

Longtime label friends Peter and Lukas Visti return with a stunning long player rich in authentic Balearic sounds. It opens with the percussive nu-disco groove of 'Ocean View' then drifts into flamenco-tinged reflections on 'Invisible Sun' and 'Kathmandu.' Acoustic guitars feature prominently throughout, from the uplifting 'A New World' to the dreamy, sunset-ready title track. 'Eternal Love' brings us back to the dance floor while 'Lazy' leans into late-night Balearic house. The album closes with the serene, acoustic beauty of 'The Last Supper.' Fair Wind indeed.

Cover of Escape Pattern Mega Beat EP by Coyote.

Coyote

Escape Pattern Mega Beat EP

Is It Balearic

Three tracks from the more upbeat side of Coyote's sound surface on the Is It Balearic side project Mega Beat Ibiza Sound. Title track 'Escape Pattern' glides on serenely, a mixture of 80s synth sheen and 90s ambient bliss, all underpinned with a shuffling, off kilter beat with plenty of open hi-hat action. 'Karma Comedian' on the flip heads on a jauntier, open-grooved path with a gorgeously rounded and thoroughly addictive bassline, while the closing tune 'Raddish Eyes' (feat Max Essa) sets phasers to stun for an epic teaser of an intro, before a nimble beat finally takes us to the run out groove. Quality gear from the Nottingham duo, as ever.

Max Essa

Camel Night-Rate / Love's New Meridian - Incl. Be.lanuit & Coyote Mixes

Is It Balearic

Max Essa is a firm part of the neo-Balearic mafia and shows off his trademark take on the summer-ready sound with this return to Is It Balearic? 'Camel Night-Rate (Clear To The Ocean)' kicks off with a great blend of chug, dubby low ends and shimmering synth work while 80s chords light it up with good vibes. A Be.Lanuit remix is more serene and stripped back for late night dreaming then 'Love's New Meridian' sinks into a melancholic and downbeat world of sunset charm with wispy pads. The Coyote Mellow remix reworks it as a gently breaking wave on a moon-lit beach. Classy tackle all round.

Cover of Love Letters by Coyote & Peaking Lights.

Coyote & Peaking Lights

Love Letters

Is It Balearic

Coyote and Peaking Lights form a perfect pairing on this latest drop of bliss from Is It Balearic. They are artists who are drenched in dub influences and that comes to the fore on this direct collaboration which marries swirling dub with dreamy vocals and ghostly acid arpeggios to bring to mind a serene sunset after a long, hot and lazy day. 'Love Letters' is pure horizontal bliss, 'So Far Away' gets even slower and will drown you in synth succulence and Coyote's dub mix is laden with soothing delays and warm bass that transports you to an exotic world of weed-laced wonderment.

STAFF COMMENTS

Mine says: Coyote and Peaking Lights are here to carry you off into the sunset. A match made in balearic heaven...

Cover of Suinga EP - Incl. John Beltran Remix by Bo Wosticz.

Bo Wosticz

Suinga EP - Incl. John Beltran Remix

Is It Balearic

Bo Wosticz is a passionate music producer and DJ from the northern parts of Sweden. He has previously released own tracks as well as remixes under various names, but with this new project, he returns to his roots, creating music with a wonderful blend of electronic and acoustic elements, influenced by sounds, melodies, and rhythms from around the world. Suinga is a shuffling percussive kalimba led mellow house groove that Jon Beltram delivers a subtly more energetic remix of. Return to Fender has an early evening rooftop feel where electric pianos sit on a chugging baseline and light pads. Gnallbulver picks up the pace, just a little for the discoteque. Polished mid tempo Nordic Balearic goodness

STAFF COMMENTS

Mine says: Swede (!) Bo Wosticz delivers one of the most Balearic sounding records of the year, courtesy of - who else - Is It Balearic!

Coyote & Quinn Lamont Luke

Think About It - Incl. Project Sandro Remix

Is It Balearic

Coyote team up with Quinn Luke Lamont for a one off collaboration. Quinns vocals add a distinctly yachty feel to Coyote's chuggy early evening acid groove. Project Sandro tighten up the percussion and strip the vocals back and create a dreamy more contemplative warm weather shuffler.

Cover of Vapour Trails - Incl. Goldsuite & Woolfy Remixes by Wrekin Havoc Feat. Greg Bird.

Wrekin Havoc Feat. Greg Bird

Vapour Trails - Incl. Goldsuite & Woolfy Remixes

Is It Balearic

The Wrekin Crew is back for a seance outing on the peerless Is It Balearic? This new offering rather continues where the first one left off with two tracks of immersive sonics for sunny days. First up is 'Vapour Trails' which melds lush Italo disco melodies and nice emotional pop of the sort you would expect to hear in this duo's DJ sets. Goldsuite also step up with a remix to smooth the edges and lay down moon-lit Balearica then closer 'Broken Wings' has more meaningful vocals but this time over grooves more suited to a late-night setting. Cosmic arps finish it in style with plenty of dubby undercurrents.

STAFF COMMENTS

Mine says: Edit wizards Wrekin Havoc collaborate with Greg Bird to release their second EP of original material on Is It Balearic. While 'Camino' satisfied the disco and boogie fans, this latest offering is (excuse the pun) most definitely balearic, but no less moody, and is nicely rounded up with a remix and dub by Goldsuite and Woolfy.

Cover of Dinky Bird EP - Incl. Bjorn Torske Remix by Robert's Diary.

Robert's Diary

Dinky Bird EP - Incl. Bjorn Torske Remix

Is It Balearic

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.

STAFF COMMENTS

Mine says: This one is already a winner in my book! Even though 'Dinky Bird' is the one that's getting the royalty remix treatment, I personally think the b-side is the star of the show. Can already see myself playing KXP on repeat... ultra dreamy!

Florecer

Hidden Thoughts EP - Incl. Hitchhiker, Das Complex + Ken Fan Remixes

Is It Balearic

Florecer steps up to the cultured Is It Balearic label with the sort of soothing downtempo sounds that are perfect for sunset moments with a quality drink. There is plenty of mellow and dreamy West Coast lushness to 'Hidden Thoughts' with its shimmering synths and seductive vocal coos while the first remix from Hitchhiker steps up the energy with an arp-ed sound. Das Complex gets dark and chugging as is his usual want on the flipside, then Cafe Del Mar resident Ken Fan offers a trademark chillout sound to close out another most calming EP from this great label.

Cover of Lost On A Path To Nowhere EP - Incl. Jazxing Remix by Marius Circus.

Marius Circus

Lost On A Path To Nowhere EP - Incl. Jazxing Remix

Is It Balearic

Marius Circus is well known and loved for a signature analogue sound and once again that is laid out for us all to enjoy here on a new EP that comes with a remix from men of the moment Jazxing. First up is the deep, unhurried and dubbed out 'Lost On A Path To Nowhere,' a subtle late-night sound with wispy synths and a muted bassline that grows ever more prominent. The Jazxing Pathfinder remix is more tropical and steamy, and on the flip 'No Way Home' douses you in more blissed-out chords before the downbeat boogie of 'Space Crumbs Trail'. This is yet more essential summer goodness from Is It Balearic.

STAFF COMMENTS

Mine says: Treading a path between dubbed out spacey balearic and unhurried drug chug, Marius Circus' lush sounds should find many a fan in the shop. Avoid now, regret later!
