Monday's Long Song

A swift return to these pages for Jezebell with the release last Friday of their three track Jezebellearica EP. Two of the three have been released previously, the slinky groove of Le Funk Et Moi and the White Ilse stomper Stop Bajon (Primavera), summer songs built around the works of Max Berlins and Tullio Piscopo. The lead song, Jezebellearic, is seven minutes and forty three seconds of laid back, easy going charm, a groove and song that according to Jesse 'just seemed to write itself', pushed along by a lazy vaguely familiar bassline. It is sprinkled with the voice of legendary DJ Alfredo, the father of the Balearic Beat and resident of Ibiza since 1976, who picked up the residency at Amnesia and proceeded to play the contents of his record collection, a unique and eclectic blend of rock, pop, dance, soul, jazz, soundtracks, instrumentals and eventually house to a crowd of pleasure seekers from all over the world who 'all knew each other by their first name'. Jezebellearic is magic bottled, a feeling compressed into bytes. And much more. Get it here and name your own price. 

In the track Alfredo lists some of the records he played, including this one from Art Of Noise in 1984. How's that for cooling you down on the hottest Monday of the year/ decade/ century?
