Nice words from Juno Records on the 'Suite for Chick' release by Maarten Goetheer.

'Suite For Chick' is a heartfelt tribute to the late jazz legend Chick Corea. This 12" was assembled to reimagine classics like 'City Gate, Rumble,' 'Time Track,' 'Hymn of the Heart' and Return to Forever's 'Romantic Warrior.' It finds Bangkok-based Maarten Goetheer collaborating with Thailand's jazz virtuoso Pong Nakornchai and blending Wurlitzer chords, Moog basslines, ARP leads and Rhodes phasings. Inspired by his jazz-pianist father, Maarten fuses classic jazz with modern genres like techno, cosmic disco and ambient for a fresh take on jazz fusion. These electrifying interpretations honour Corea's pioneering legacy in jazz and fusion from his groundbreaking work with Miles Davis to founding Return to Forever.

Sean Johnstone, ALFOS, UK - Love this whole EP! Thanks so much.

Hot Toddy, Crazy P, UK - Loving the warped acid vibe of Meraki.

Pete Herbert, Music For Swimming Pools, UK - Thanks for sending, I'm really liking this and a slightly darker vibe on NNS. Quality EP, I'm especially down with High Set Hollow Eye. Will be playing this.

Jaye Ward, London, UK - Thats ace!!! Really like what TECWAA does.. techy but with a lot of soul and most importantly deepness! Very into all of the tracks but really love 'high set hollow eyes' and ‘mercury room’ brilliant things indeed.

Mark Broadbent, Ibiza, Spain - Nice solid House on the right side of strange. Opening track Meraki will find home on my Open Lab radio show at some point and can see me using the later tracks at The Standard later in the evening.

Nick Warren, UK - Another cracking release with all 4 tracks being excellent, thanks.

Skylab Radio, UK - A lovely listen - totally getting the 2000s darkness but some gorgeous laidback vibes amongst the edginess. Vibing with all the tracks, each tasty in their own right. We can defo get some airplay sorted for these!

Bruce Tantum, Mixmag, USA - Gorgeous tunes here! Nicely flowing cuts with just the right amount of dubby weirdness to keep things interesting. Lead cut "Meraki" might be the favorite of the bunch - rather majestic in a low-key way.

Joey Fitzgerald / Gold Suite, Bali, Indonesia - Tecwaa is a new artist for me so thanks for introducing me to his work. Really enjoying all four, particularly 'High Set Hollow Eye' and 'Home Moon'. These would certainly find their way into some of my mixes!

Simon Sheldon, Freebooter Lounge, UK - Love this. Every track is a belter. Home Moon a fav but I will play all of them a lot.

Thanks Ban Ban Ton Ton for the words on the One Half of Bent album, 'Imaginary Golf Game' available on Bandcamp and across all digital and streaming platforms.

'Keys are delicate cascades of dancing counterpoint, but the chords are often buzzing and distorted. LFO bleeps are more sweet, cute squeaks, while rhythms whizz, whirr and purr, like Plaid / Black Dog Productions’ intricately interacting circuitry. Generating an IDM-derived electronic counterpoint. Pretty chimes and playful percolations, plus the odd crunchy beat. Robotic finger snaps give Sky High a laidback syncopated techno swing. Caddy1000XL is an beatless oasis of soothing sine waves. Future Fairways, too, is “ambient”. A mix of sighs and melodic sound effects. Santini summons summer showers and could pass for one of Mike Paradinas’ mellower moments, something, say, from his recent Balmat LP.'

Thanks to Juno Records for the words about the George Solar mini album, MOONBEAMS.

It appears a few words have gone missing from their review, can you fill in the blanks...?

"NuNorthern Soul always says it is not a soul music label, but a label for music with soul, and this new and dreamy offering from George Solar very much embodies that. It's a smooth fusion of cosmic, ambient, romance and Balearic bliss across six sublime sounds. 'Media Luna' opens up with slow-motion drums awash with gentle shakers and splashy hi-hats, 'Moonbeams' brings more liquid rhythms and worldly drum sounds and 'Countermoon' shuts down the a-side with a late night, star-gazing feel. A trio of lush, pillowy, immersive sounds and magical flutes close out the..."

We reckon its "...close out the B Side."

The album is getting some incredible love and support from a whole heap of music loving friends and family...

Wonderful collection of the type of dreamy downtempo music I live for. Excellent and very cohesive. - François K [NYC]

Wow the drums on that first track are lush AF. Swampy. "Countermoon" is another fave, excellent groove on that. The whole release is so exotic-sounding, the sound palette is so rich and vivid, it's immersive. - MIKE B [VINYL DREAMS RECORD STORE SAN FRANCISCO, USA]

A brilliant chilled album, hints of past with a modern twist. - Nick Warren

Proper deep Balearic business from THE downtempo master. - Chris Coco [UK]

This is an absolute killer of an album, wonderful from beginning to end. Thanks for sharing. It's hard to pick a favourite as they're all so bloody good! Hats off to George and you for getting this out into the world. Every track is worthy of a play on Music for Beaches. I'll be getting as many on air as I can. Love it! - DAVE HOWELLS [MUSIC FOR BEACHES, AUS]

I like Lunaticotina the most and will support this. - KENNETH BAGER [MUSIC FOR DREAMS]

Listening Party from George Solar.
