Is it Balearic? So ask Timm and Ampo from Unity Crescent while naming their new record label and the answer is a resounding affirmative. The aim is simple: to release unashamed beach-lolling dub-funk epics which make perfect sense when the sun’s going down. ‘Pretty Wasted’ sets out their stall with slo-mo groove, pattering bongos, reverbed vocals and a deliciously intoxicating vibe. ‘Beat Journey’ recalls early Weatherall while ‘Blue Skies’ follows the same dreamy path. The latter also enjoys a remix by Bare Fist producer Phoreski, who injects an unexpected but surprisingly effective, not to mention original, raft of Russian strings and piano. Undoubtedly one of the major records of the summer.
