Reflecting on the last quarter, which has been every bit as intensely varied and rich as it has been blisteringly hot on the dusty baking streets of Clerkenwell for the last few weeks...
The culmination of experiences and the listening influences from @Complexion TFBS radio show and Milch Bar11, leading up to and beyond the kaotic latin fiesta and electronic melange that is Sonar. Needed a spell in Ibiza, just to chill down..
.. from the heady heights of seeing Lee Burridge and Black Coffee at Hii, to the gradual lull into the calm and chilled indulgence that is Portinatx ... Where the sunset is a nightly event, and the beach bar churns out ultra poquey mango mojitos to a perfect backdrop of baroque balearic house and slo-mo
The tracks from Embers LP that deservedly book-end this set with are for me, a unique and original strain of future music, underpinned by a consistently smouldering slab of urban soul. Sitting alongside some great work from Kori, Harrison and Detz, who are all representing with their own strong definition of sound.
Chill, dubstep, brasil funk, future beats, deep house and indie, Vitalise tries to reflect the vibe in a package of electronica and balearic ... a few older gems seemed to bring the golden ochre tone that this all about... a varied journey from 105 to 135 ...
