Here we are. Summer of 2018 and as I said earlier there are always some things that make the Summer season, Summer season. Some of those things are the regular (yearly) compilations like the Balearic one. Mr Breeze compiled another dozen of delightful tracks which mainly were released since last Summer. His selection offers exclusivities, tracks from sold out vinyl releases even never released on vinyl, like Gallo's ''Faron'' on Fabrizio Mammarella Ambient Remix, tune that is making buzz in Ibiza since its end of the season last year. Aficionado, Phantom Island, Uber Recordings seems some of his fave label and they are part of this blue looking chapter. In the compilation we can find once again all the main styles of Balearic sound of today. Max Essa will introduce you on ‘’Balearic 4’’ the right way as one part of his golden ‘’Themes From The Hood, The Cad & The Lovely EP’’ on Hell Yeah is waiting you on the door of the compilation. Japan is back on Balearic as Emerson Kitamura minimal cover on classic ‘’Rock Your Baby’’ appeared next. The slo-mo groove of Simon Peter’s ‘’Ottimismo’’ connects you with a kind of folk Americana disco while the quirky downtempo world dub echoes of Fuga Ronto Remix on Kay Zee’s ‘’Barny’’ is taking to the experimental echoes of the decade when the Balearic genre was ready to be named. The reminiscent of the Balearic Beat and Madchester explosion is represented here as a reminder to us by Max Manetti’s vintage Lati-n-die ‘’Changuinola’’. Looking back Joe Morris ‘’Skies Reprise’’ refreshed the Italo House paradisiac dream house days, cool ambience and feel good jazzed weirdness in the (beatless) house. The exclusivities have Flamenco aroma, Andalusian veins and real Balearic Island spirit. Paco De Lucia’s ‘’Entre Dos Aguas’’ which madly played and offered to the White Island visitors by Jose Padilla offered here on an exceptional On-U Sound Dub version of Los Twangueros version. The most fascinated one ever! The guitars are playing non-stop on passionate Remix of the compiler’s version on Robot 84’s ‘’San Vorera’’. The remaining tracks by Private Agenda’s ‘’Dawn’’ on Faze Action Remix, Quinn Lamont Luke’s ‘’Different Aspirations’’ and J-Walk’s ‘’Twilight’’ completes the selection with the diversion has to have. ‘’Balearic 4’’ is not only for sunsets, Ibiza and sea coasts, at least for us who we are love this plethora of the Balearic love we have. ‘’Balearic 4’’ is one of these things that lasts from Summer, during the Winter, ‘til next Summer… DJ Nova, Balearic For You
