On a Sunday night, in a beach town not so far away from you, I cracked open a Pacifico and began to ponder what I would do as the elusive evening drew closer and city lights began to flicker on. I decided to soul-search and ate a few silver-striped mushrooms out of an old embroidered Chinese box I had hidden beneath the dock. As I walked along the beach, the sand softly tickled my toes and the waves crashed in a perfect symphony. Just then, Poseidon’s froth had washed something hard up onto my foot. It was a glistening whiskey bottle; Jameson’s own to be exact. I opened it up, expecting a rich carmel liquid to engulf my soul and warm it from the inside out. However, out fell a flash drive where the words “Gooch-Tape #1″ were engraved. It was a sign; a sign that good things were coming. A sign that the warmth and sun-kissed poolside jams of summer would flow into the colorful world autumn had to offer. Warm your soul and paint your walls gold!

This wave may be the most perfect to date. Refreshing, flowing, and made of your favorite lager. Get loose, grab your honey bunny, and take tomorrow off.
“The waves ≠ raves consists of hand-picked gems that inspire us, tickling and tempting our creative juices. Some are old, some are new, but it is what we are listening to now. They are groovey, flowing, and sun-kissed just like that perfect wave. They are uplifting and guaranteed to put a smile on your face. They sound the best with a babe in one hand, a cold brewski in the other, and the sand beneath your feet. Stay Dreamy.”

Purveyor of all things cosmic, German trio Space Ranger are handing out a free remix from MCDE (purveyor of all things deep) no less. It’s a tastefully restrained rejigg: gentle steel-tipped percussion taps away against the bobbing pulse of disco bass…that’s all before those strings come in at the 3.30 mark. Be sure to check out their forthcoming album What About The Magnetic Fields?, an inter-galactic trip through the outer-reaches of head-nodding Balearic house and disco:
Japan's Kezy M (AKA Kazuki Yamaguchi) has thrown out a full-quality mp3, donated to help the charity Soul Aid. So if you like the music please donate some money to help Japan. The track itself is an ode to old school house, chugging along with a punchy beat and distant, swirling acid synths:
Foamy and frothy jams for those who get bloated easily. Another installment for that epic beach day or sensual shag session. Peace and Love.
