An introduction to unsung synth pioneer Wally Badarou in 10 essential records
Gorgeous, guitar lead ambience from Yello’s 1980 Solid Pleasure album, Vangelis meets Manuel Gottsching for a sunset drink in Zurich 🙂
Balearic veteran Phil Mison has a new release due in June, a superb compilation ‘Out of the Blue’ inspired by his time as Cafe del Mar resident in the early 90’s. If you want a vinyl copy get a pre-order in via Leng’s Bandcamp, it’s bound to sell out. Expect lush, sunset ambience, rarities and exclusives like the track featured here from Kamasutra.

Stumbled across this 2007 piece recently, obviously a track with a big following (400,000+ hits on Youtube and selling for £230 on Discogs!) Basically an extended edit of Alicia keys ‘Feeling U, feeling me’ (interlude) from her 2003 ‘Diary’ album.
More from South London producer Mala at his Bandcmp https://mala-music.bandcamp.com/

Leeds balearic maestro Joe Morris previews a Summer three tracker on his Soundcloud today; A1 – ‘Jacaranda Skies’ is lush, jazzy Mediterranean dream house, B1 – ‘The Lost Garden’ & B2 – ‘Cloud 9’ are super mellow, tropical down-tempo hammock classics. If these aren’t sound tracking every beach bar and boat party this Summer I’ll eat my espadrilles.
