COLDCUT – Mr Nichols
Taken from the album “Sound Mirrors”
Tipped by critics as one of the most imaginative album Coldcut have ever made in their illustrious career, their latest offering attempts to explore political and humanist themes across a mural of sounds and beats. This cinematic track utilises the deadpan vocals of Saul William weaved over a beautifully subtle score in such perfect synchronicity that it leaves you to wonder how clever this production team really is.
FREEFORM FIVE – Slow
Taken from the album “Strangest Things”
This London based four-piece is no ordinary production outfit. Despite being tagged by the media as merchants of brash “electrodiscopop” and neon uber-pop, they churn out this acoustically melodic and beautiful heartache of a song with introspective lyrics. Interestingly, they have remixed almost everyone from Felix Da Housecat to X-Press 2, from Destiny’s Child to Pink, from Nitin Sawhney to Natalie Imbruglia.
KILOWATTS & VANEK – Gone
Taken from the album “RawQ”
James Watts, Peter Van Ewijk share an innate talent for concocting seemingly capricious melodies, coming together almost seamlessly. Watts' well seasoned electronics, enriched with the warm vocals of van Ewijk, are perfected with a balance of modest guitar arrangements. Comparisons have been drawn to such acts as The Postal Service. Nevertheless, this pair is difficult to class to genre.
NO.ON – Morning (Zen Mix)
Taken from the compilation “Tealosophy”
"Tealosophy" is the project of Inés Bertón, one of the scarce dozen of people in the world who hold the title of "tea nose". Capable of preparing the finest tea infusions, Inés Bertón has conceived a spiritual and mystical chill out album.

OVERSOUL feat. GRAM’MA FUNK – Universal Unfolding
Taken from promotional CDR
Lennart Krarup & Arian Behesti teams up with Gram’ma Funk for this Cafe Del Mar choice cut.
KOSHEEN – Little Boy
Taken from the album “Kokopelli”
Bristol based outfit Kosheen progresses with a more guitar driven approach to their already dark and desolate direction. Singer Sian Evans’ folk-hued vocals remains as haunting and potent as ever, with the constant hint of being emotionally wrought.
S-TONE INC. – Limbe
Taken from the album “Sobrenatural”
S-Tone Inc. has been the primary music project of Italian producer Stefano Tirone whose early influences include Isaac Hayes, Miles Davis and jazz. He came to light in 1992 and was received with appreciation in the UK as one of the first artists to represent the acid jazz scene. With the years, his refined style of Brazilian, soul, jazz and smooth house influences have made him a household name with the Bossa Nova fraternity.
DIPPER – My Funny Valentine
Taken from the album “Sleepless Night”
Dipper is the multi- collective of musicians led by Ugo de'Crescenzo, a Neapolitan Classical/jazz piano player and producer. The central vocals accompanying Ugo are by Elena Colombo, a Milanese songstress classically trained as a jazz vocalist. Dipper wipes through the residue of benchmark jazz fusing it to the digital world of electronic music. They tackle the traditional jazz standard melody 'My Funny Valentine' and use their bold avant-garde engineering to resign enhance the classic into the fabric of contemporary music.
RUE DU SOLEIL – La Francaise
Taken from the album “Essential Feelings”
Thanks to their formula musical sort of soft electronic grooves, Rue de Soleil are the best expression of the sound of Cafe Del Mar and it’s blueprint compilation releases.
SHRIFT – To The Floor

Taken from the album “Lost In A Moment”

OUTLINES – Just A Little Lovin’
Taken from promotional CDR
Outlines are long-time friends Jerome, Irfane and Jay1, hailing from Paris and signed Berlin-based label Sonar Kollektiv. This debut single has been played and playlisted by the likes of Gilles Peterson, Kyoto Jazz Massive, Peter Kruder, Laurent Garnier and Josh Wink.
LAMB – What Sound (Tom Middleton Deep Step Mix)
Taken from the album “Remixed”
Unquestionably, Manchester's most cutting edge electronica bands and are an integral part of the Bristol sound with their music sitting somewhere between Portishead and Roni Size. Lamb are one of the only acts to survive the trip-hop boom of the early 90s with their credibility intact.
