summer

Back from our one-week vacation. Couldn’t post anything in the meantime but never stopped to think about our fellow readers while basking in the hot sun and selected some tunes that should accompany you on your future trips to the beach.

Blog favourite German from Chile, Señor Coconut aka Uwe Schmidt and his orchestra has the latest installment to their series of latin pop covers.

Icy Demons from Chicago has their 3rd album out on the Japanese Easel label. Man Man’s Christopher Powell & Bablicon’s Griffin Rodriguez seem to be the main men of this band, assisted by other Chicago musicians with such silly names as Ali Hawkbar and Ta-Freek-Ya!.

The first tune would easily get to be the tune of this summer if you take my word for it. You should remember Wahoo from last years “Make ‘em Shake It” which was similarly one of the most powerful contenders for the best summer tune. It’s not a surprise since the duo is formed by Dixon from Jazzanova and Georg Levin from Sonar Kollektiv fame, two of the coolest Berliners to be found.

Such a joy to have found this. I’ve been listening to this one for more than a month when i realized that I should get off my ass and share this definitive summer hit! (albeit in small circles).
