【再ストック】Max Essa / Eddie Cによるリミックス収録です。イビザ・チルアウト、Big ChillやSunday Bestといった90sのエレクトロニック・ミュージック最盛期のダウンテンポ、ダビー、レフトフィールドなチルパーティーを思い出させるようなスペインのジョナ・ジェフリーズの〈Apersonal Music〉からの12インチ「Lost In Paradise」。
Track List
The only proved efficient time traveling method to date is through listening to music, particularly evident when indulging in Jona Jefferies' latest EP released by Spanish house specialists Apersonal Music. It's a refreshing nod to the golden era of 90s electronic music. Across its three tracks, Jefferies masterfully blends elements of ambient, downtempo, and electronica, evoking a sense of nostalgia as if plucked from a bygone era. In contrast to today's TikTok-dominated landscape of short, immediate singles, this EP harkens back to a time when music was crafted with depth and complexity. Drawing inspiration from legendary acts like Boards of Canada and Underworld, it seamlessly transports listeners to the Gen-X decade, when acts like Daft Punk, Orbital and The Chemical Brothers reign supreme and exploited the electronic scene during the MTV era.
On the A side, "Es Camp" embodies the seamless influence of British electronic music on the Balearic scene of the 90s, and viceversa. Feels like Moby’s “Porcelain” if the film "The Beach" had been set in Ibiza. Max Essa's "Romantic Breaks Mix" elevates the track to pure Balearic bliss, setting the perfect mood for any sunset terrace around the globe.
Side B, tailored for the dance floor, runs through “Lost in Paradise”, a track that channels euphoria reminiscent of the underground rave culture during the final years of the 20th century. Apersonal's trusted remixer, Eddie C, delivers an extended rendition of the track that continually evolves, echoing Jim Morrison’s words: 'the music was new, black polished chrome, and came over the summer like liquid night.'

『Boards of CanadaやUnderworldのような伝説的なアーティストからインスピレーションを得たこのEPは、ダフト・パンク、オービタル、ケミカル・ブラザーズのようなアーティストがMTV時代のエレクトロニック・シーンの頂点に君臨し、活躍していたGen-X年代へとリスナーをシームレスにいざなう。』
レイヴ・アンビエント、バレアリック/イビザ・チルアウト、サイケデリックポップ、トリップホップなどのエッセンス。MAX ESSAのRomantic Break Mixはドリーミーで多幸感溢れるクラシック然としたマスターピース感あるリミックス。オリジナル3曲もどれも素晴らしく、EDDIE Cによる「 Lost in Paradise」のリミックスはトロピカルさ、ダビーな感じ、レイドバックな感じと巧みさが交錯する不思議な魅力。充実の一枚。 (サイトウ)
