Info:

Early In 2014, Copenhagens Kenneth Bager Asked Electronic Wizard And Remix Entrepreneur Ruf Dug If He Would Make An Album For His Acclaimed Balearic Imprint Music For Dreams. That Summer, Ruf Dug Headed Off To Spend Three Months On The Island Of Guadeloupe In The French Caribbean. Seizing The Opportunity To Live Out His Own Compass Point Fantasy, He Put Together A Portable Studio That Would Fit Into A Suitcase - Two Half-rack Synthesizers, A Couple Of Effects Units, His Laptop And A 4-track Cassette Recorder. He Set Up The Studio In The Spare Bedroom In A Rented Villa And Spent The Next 12 Weeks Watching The Sun Set And Making The Album. All Tracks Were Written And Recorded In Guadeloupe, With Nev Cottee Beaming In Vocals And Guitar Parts For A Couple Of The Tracks Direct From The Heart Of Mancunia, Hooking Into The Powerful And Long-standing Musical Relationship Between Manchester And That Most Famous Of Sunset Islands Ibiza
