KBE Balearic Blah Blah Volume 9

The Balearic Blah Blah edition of hard-to-find unShazamable gems always brings the quality and number nine in the series is no exception. ‘Walk The Walk’ is a superb uptempo electronic afterhours/sunset style edit from VH - a resident in one of Ibiza’s bigger clubs - of a fairly unknown track by 80s band Talk Talk. VH adds modern Dixon-esque production to the original and end result is a surefire winner for any openminded dancefloor. Sweden’s Dj Ri??olo serves up two excellent edits on this platter, the first being ‘Cool World’, an amazing 80s drum machine-led reggaefied Balearic groover sounding exactly like one of those unforgettable hooky warm up or middle-of-the-night records played in Amnesia in '87 by Alfredo or Leo Mas. His second edit ‘Goonies’ has ‘Why Can't We live Together’ style rhythms with repeated keyboard hooks showcasing his rare versatility blending together deepest 80s grooves with dreamy cosmic Balearica. Also on Side B we have ‘Summertime’, a sublime KBE extended string-based edit of a bonus track on an old 80s B side - never released on any album but a firm favorite in the bars of Ibiza, sounding like an amalgamation of Sade and Swing Out Sister. Another vinyl-only collectable winner from the Balearic mountains of Blah Blah...
