Yet another track from 2023 that I didn't pay enough attention to at the time and have been playing a lot in the last week is Amnesia by Radio Slave and Cagedbaby. It's as un- January as you can get, a glorious tribute to the Balearic Europop of mid/ late- 80s Ibiza, named after the famous nightclub.
Built around uplifting synths and pads, a Soul II Soul drum shuffle the Public Enemy/ Madonna 'Justify My Love drum break, widescreen atmospherics and a hushed vocal singing, 'surrounded by love', it's an extended 80s 12" mix that recalls that holiday you never went on/ never wanted to come home from. It's been raining all week, it's 4th January- take me to an airport.
