Despite a recent diversification into some mind-bending, dubbed out post-punk on his General Purpose imprint, Len Leise’s more reclined catalogue will always remain a firm favourite at STW HQ. Combining balearic and ambient tones with non-Western samples, his white label edits and releases for Aficionado and International Feel manage to soothe and energise in equal measure. The same goes for his next effort, this time a remix for Seahwaks, headed up by Jon Tye & Pete Fowler. Their latest releases sees two tracks from their esteemed Escape Hatch LP get three celestial remixes. Our favourite is from our guy from Melbourne who takes on ‘Starways’, massaging the tropical kosmische odyssey into a vapour-like stupor.
Starways is out 23rd June on Ocean Moon – buy from Piccadilly and Juno.
