when thinking balearic, there is a name that should strike you right away. no, not ibiza itself, but the man responsible for producing and curating some of the lushest sunset music the white island has ever heard steve miller, perhaps most commonly known as afterlife. making a name for himself in the early 2000s by playing monumental events such as glastonbury, headlining cafe del mars 20th anniversary party and reaching the top of the uk charts by remixing another chance from roger sanchez, hes managed a consistency unlike many others in the decade and a half since. releasing standout classic albums such as simplicity two thousand and speck of gold, his music has been released on the premiere labels of the time, such as hed kandi and defected, while also being featured on numerous compilations to date.
another cornerstone record from the mighty strictly rhythm catalogue, waterfalls / feel it is an essential example of the deeper, more melodic style of house that emanated from nyc / nj in the early to mid 90s. originally released in 1991 the ep features the production style of andrew rags richardson with some co-production assistance from one roger sanchez. it perfectly encapsulates the style of music that would be played at clubs like the loft, shelter, zanzibar and beyond, a more emotive and soulful strain of house that gives a respectful nod to it s disco roots. waterfalls / feel it has long been the toast of house aficionados and is most definitely a record that will still have people rushing the booth asking what s this? an evergreen slab of wax indeed. essential sounds for the heads.
cgi is proud to present the debut of 2 new duos who are experts at making their synths and sequencers sweat divine moisture. lyman-alpha forest is a new collaborative project between producers grey people (proper trax, finale sessions) and talk (deconstructure). as a duo they work to bring acid into new territories with their heavy, low-slung approach to producing melodic-and-spacious yet tight-and-focused slow-burning club-weapons. whether or not this is due to a stroke of compositional genius or if it is simply a side effect of the high levels of sizzurp found in the tap water in their hometown of nashville is irrelevant, but the effect is intoxicating all the same. travel 7 hours up i-65 and you will end up somewhere in chicago where afterburner spends long cold winter nights painting vivid synthesized tapestries as epic as the citys skyline. the duo of nicholas reed (windbreaker) and travis thatcher (voice of saturn) employ an aresnal of modular and analog gear to produce lushly cinematic tracks that chug along like classic moroder productions while simultaneously evoking the rich melodicism of kraftwerk. whether you listen to them at home in the headphones or on the dancefloor in the club, these tracks will take you on a wild ride.
