“The melancholic suburban soul of ‘Southern Freeez’ never gets tired for me….an album that has remained at the top of my Brit Funk pile!” – GILLES PETERSON
Who’s going to argue with Gilles? Not me for sure, the classics have been polished and remastered and the new material is gorgeous…
The latest release from the collaboration between Chris Coco and Luca Averna, with the delicate, atmospheric guitar work of Micko Roache, it’s a timeless, shimmering slice of Balearic perfection. Surely destined to soundtrack sunsets all Summer long, an essential addition to your collection.

Longwave is mostly Rob Manuel. With thanks to David Ault & Chris Barker.’
Rob has been working on some, check notes ‘blinding visuals’ to pair with the mix, here’s a taster. Can’t wait to see the full length edition…
