The Is It Balearic crew has long held down all things blissed out and downtempo, and their once secretive but now essential side label Magic Wand is doing just as much vital work. Veteran house head Peter Blaker is next up after an already solid showing on Razor-N-Tape in April, and he offers two lush flips. The first is a chord-laced and gently waving rework of Kenny & Dolly that has a lovely new age wash, and the second is a more beat-driven and textured take on 'You Belong In The City.' It has a layer of percussion, big drums and a sort of rhythmic sway that is perfect for the outdoors.
STAFF COMMENTS
Mine says: Everyone's favourite edit label Magic Wand and man of the hour (year?) Pete Blaker finally come together on Vol. 21 of the popular Magic Wand series. Though the B-side heavily features sax, which I'm not usually a fan of, it's also a simultaneously melancholy and euphoric mega tune and sad bangers are my favourite genre, so... sign me up!TRACK LISTING
