NuNorthern Soul are on the beach again with some killer remixes of Tambores En Benirras' 'Ondas Horizontales' - even the artwork has been given a make over.
At the start of the month, NuNorthern Soul released Roots Artefact's 'Different Perspecitive' (see review HERE) with that Tallinn view of NuNorthern Soul. At the other end of the month, you could say that they've got the test cards out, retuned Tambores En Benirras' 'Ondas Horizontales' with four remixes that ouze chilled, world, Balearics boogie.
Originally released in 2023 on the album 'Ondas Horizontales' was all the work of Tambores En Benirras (aka Graham Newby) apart from the fantastic artwork by Johnny Kavannagh and recorded in the dual centres of Ibiza (obviously) and most unlikely, Barrow-in-Furness!
Ruf Dug has stepped up to the plate for a remix of 'Mi Suno Vive En Reverb' with some early morning beach yoga session, can you have one in Manchester? Good job Mr. Dug is also based in Ibiza and you know he's a man of sound choice if you recall his feedback on Yuu Udagawa's 'Beat Sculpture' (see review HERE) as, "OG is 1000000% the one here!"; pretty cool as Coflo is on the remix!
Talking of influencial trend setters, 'Extensor Entrgado' gets a remix by none other than Steve Cobby, he of Fila Brazillia and inspriation for Third Attempt's 'We Are All Connected EP' on Beatservice (see interview HERE). This is a great remix for over 9 minutes of synth heavy Balearic funk groove and worth the price of the 12" in itself.
I can't say I'm as familir with Andres Y Xavi ('Templos Del Sol') or Simon Sheldon ('Un Placer Celestial) but as you can guess from the titles, both track are looking skywards. 'Templos Del Sol' as remixed is bouncing its way around the Iberian space lab dancefloor (it's a bit adictive) and is far away from the origin's dreaming Japanese-synth garden (with spoken word).
Simon Sheldon has a history with electronic music goes back many decades and his remix gets us back in the chill tent with downtempo Massive Attack whispering so closing this EP as a proper 12" release for DJs and home listening.
Newby contacted 12 of his favourite artists to request reworks – a mix of Balearic heroes, rising stars and friends and this remix collection is definitely a different perspective to the orginals, ('Different Perspectives' being the order of the day at NuNorthern Soul, see the last release on the label by Roots Artefact - review HERE).
This EP is the first in a series of remix specials of the original album that'll be available in digital format so book in for the 'Listening Session' for this week - see below links.
