Cat: RSD 020
Release Date: 11th June 2021
Genre: Balearic/Downtempo

Just in time for Pandemic Summer #2 comes the beach and poolside flavors of ABC Versions (Afro, Balearic, Cosmic) on Rocksteady Disco. For this hand-stamped white label Rocksteady Disco assembles a crew of deep diggers. While these reimaginings harken back to the golden era of dances on the shores of Lake Garda, the White Isle, or all-night bath houses, it's hardly a retrospective. Leading the release is label boss Mr. PC's edit of "Drum Song", a kalimba-driven ecstatic freakout for discerning dance floors. Next up is Blair French's flip of a classic MPB joint "Circo Marimbondo", beefed up and primed for your next poolside hangout. Moving to the flip side, Son of Lee delivers with his meditative and transcendent rework of "Groove Me". Island Times closes the release with his blissed out acoustic edit of "What's Going On", which made its debut in Belle Isle Balearic's The Chillout Tent set in June 2020, with police helicopters flying overhead.
