Nohelani Cypriano's music has been described as "nostalgic Polynesian funk". This 1979 Hawaiian disco gem has reached a well deserved cult status among the genre's aficionados. I am completely mesmerised by this release from Be With Records the same label which brought back Letta Mbulu's South African boogie back to life. A truly delectable rare groove.
Here's a reminder of Letta Mbulu's divine "Nomalizo":
The first time we heard about Fantastic Fantastic was summer 2014 when they released their debut single "Houses" which included the irresistible synth pop gem "Never Enough" as a b-side. Last year this Swedish/Australian duo followed up with 2 more stellar pop tunes "Boulevard" and "The Night". It's spring 2016 and Micke & Kris are back once again. "Call Me", generously given away for free on the boys' Soundcloud, initiates the season of summer vibes, Balearic lushness and glorious pop moments. Fantastique!
