Teaming up for the 15th EP on Heimlich Musik, Coss and Iorie deliver Casual International located somewhere between Chinatown and the Atlantic Ocean, with Shubostar and Arutani on remix duty.
Cielo Azul is shaped by one of Iorie’s rare vocal appearances in Spanish with an organic beat underlined by dreamy guitar parts while Mu is based on a Chinese mantra supported by an intense bass line.
Arutani’s interpretation of Cielo Azul is based on an arpeggiator bass accentuated by stripped-down parts of the original. Shubostar adds some extra tension by transforming Mu into an energetic Disco banger.
Casual International as a whole creates a diverse picture of musical approaches to survive this special kind of summer.

Every single song on this stellar compilation is a moody and memorable dose of deephouse, each wearing the intricacies and intelligence of their design lightly. If you have room in your heart for smart and emotionally grown-up electronica, you'd be doing yourself an enormous disservice overlooking this. Ben Harris

A story and a journey from beginning to end, like the other comps in the series. Luscious detail with gentle pacing to be savoured with fine headphones. Angel Figueroa
