FARBROR RESANDE MAC - MAGMA - IS IT BALEARIC

Swedish artist Farbror Resande Mac debuts on Is It Balearic? following Newcastle duo Last Waltz' first appearance on the label in April. It's a full and complete debut featuring four tracks with remixes from Futureboogie's Christophe Rockers and Bear Funker Max Essa. The title-track is indeed the highlight as spacey arpeggios, sprinkles of keys and whooshing white noise hover above slow motion beats and a phat bassline. Rockers ups the tempo, adds some vocals and creates a burner for the strobe-lit dancfloor, while on the B-side Farbror Resande Mac again dips back into swirly ethereal territory with a new-agey, guitar kissed "Drakryggen". Max Essa then completes this 12" by treading a similar path to Rockers by upping the ante to provide a very groovy and chilled out reinterpretation.
