In the summer of 2018 Beachfreaks Records founder and celebrated crate
digger Charles Bals threw open the doors of Club Meduse, an imaginary
open-air venue on the Cote D'Azure where the obscure but inspired soundtrack
is always humid, sun-kissed, synthesizer-heavy and proudly European.
The resultant compilation was acclaimed by both music critics and record
buyers, so two years on Bals has once more joined forces with Spacetalk to
re-open Club Meduse for another imaginary summer season beneath the
baking-hot Mediterranean sun. Acting again as in-house DJ, Bals has dipped
into his personal stash of obscure, overlooked and little-known gems and
selected a soundtrack rich in drowsy chanson vocals, glistening Spanish
guitar lines, Latin-tinged drum machine rhythms, rushing Fairlight stabs and
sparkling synthesizer sounds. Spacetalk have gone to great lengths to track
down the musicians behind the music so Bals is joined in the virtual DJ
booth by a wealth of forgotten artists whose magical music he holds so dear.
This time round there's an undeniable 1980s flavour to proceedings with all
but one of the tracks - Claude Miss's African-influenced 1990 Balearic pop
shuffler "Paco Ye Adame" - being produced and released during the decade.
As with its predecessor, Meduse (Retour au Club) contains a mixture of
off-kilter, barely known dancefloor cuts and the kind of drowsy, slow-motion
tracks that are best suited to lazy afternoons by the pool and early
evenings spent squinting towards the sunset. In this category you'll find
the ambient-pop bliss of Lili's fretless bass and Flamenco guitar-sporting
"Gitana Morena", the slow-motion brilliance of Belgian outfit Capco's "No
Vayas Al Sol" (featuring the vocals of future Benelux pop star BeaLuna), the
trumpet-laden magic of Nathalie David's "Coup De Foudre (Instrumental)" - a
track written by her songwriter father Jacques Bendavid - and the
Mediterranean pop slickness of Jean-Claude Watrin's "Game City".
If dancing in your Speedos or swimming costume is your thing, Bals also has
you covered. Check, for example, the "Midnight Mix" of Jade 4 U's Praga Khan
produced 1988 gem "Rainbows" - a prize slice of new beat/synth pop fusion
powered forward by a bold, headline-grabbing bassline - or De Dion's "Sexy
Cola (Glu Glu Version)", a jaunty, hard-to-explain mixture of pop
cheeriness, Art of Noise experimentation and summer holiday glee. Or for
that matter the reggae/zouk/electro fusion of Les 36 15's effervescent
"Zoulous (Remix)" and the boogie-era Gallic jazz-funk of Marc et Frank's
"Cap'tain Coke" - a cut recorded in a Paris studio by two prisoners on day
release, jointly funded by the French ministries of justice and culture.
When you're done dancing, there's plenty to soundtrack those wide-eyed late
night romantic moments too, not least the bubbly, 80s-soul influenced
chanson delight of Weekend Millionaire's "Exit", the gentle reggae/synth-pop
fusion of L's private press delight "La Boite Musique" and Cecilia's
seductive synth-pop shuffler "Chocolat", the B-side of a seven-inch single
that now changes hands for hundreds of pounds online.
