The White Isle's Residentes Balearicos come bouncing back with a debut EP, Viajes Orgaizado, for Brighton's Higher Love Recordings. The super prolific Italian duo of Luca Averna and Ale Doretto, who've now made Ibiza their home, have perviously released music, across a range of tempos - from serene sunset shuffles to nocturnal, psychedelic, shamanic shakedowns. Gracing labels such as Shades Of Sound, Music For Dreams, Balearic Ensemble, and Takeo Toyama's Archipelago (RIP). Noteworthy names such as Joe Morris and Robin Lee's Rudy's Midnight Machine have remixed the results, while they frequently collaborate with current king of 'chillout', Melodica's Chris Coco. This fresh four-track outing finds the friends fashioning two new tunes, each given an additional guest 'twist'.

D110 starts with a solid rock drum battery, quickly joined by characteristically bionic 'balearicos' bass. Ripe with rave-y synth signals, and filled with flickering frequencies, the track taps directly into their Italo disco roots. Its sleazy, suggestive, stomping novo new beat, countered by breakdowns of cute cascading bells and chimes - raining prettily above the punchy, pumping, pounding. Mancunian musician James Bright, himself a Higher Love veteran - as well as working with imprints such as Sveva, Quattro, and Eclectics - smooths out the still banging, gargantuan groove. Manufacturing melody from masked marimba and energetic, particulate, ping-ponging patterns, while making excellent use of echo to build, and release, tension.

Juno's Dream is technologically tribal. Its robotic rhythm rising and falling hypnotically, while grounded by more 'organic' finger clicks. The warm, womb-like, constantly mutating, bottom-end, an homage to both acid house and bleep. Bali-based Liverpudlian Joey Fiztgerald, aka Gold Suite adds trippy gated sequences, and bonus human hand percussion, in the shape of bongos and congas. Then tops this off with huge rushing waves, swirls, of stirring, emotive, synthetic strings.
