"Walking On a Crystal sea"-BALIHU after a longer absence - partly due to his re-location to berlin - the lone crusader for creativity and timelessness in dancemusic DANIEL WANG revives his super collectable cult imprint BALIHU and unearthes a new ruff diamond at the same time: this is the first release by ILYA SANTANA from canary island who patched this wonderful 4 tracker together by using just two pieces of free downloadable software proving that an ear for new melodies and memorable basslines is way superior to truckloads of rare analogue synth equipment. “walking on a crystal sea” gives a perfect example with it’s unforgettable 80’s bassline theme topped by sweet exotic synth melodies gently washing all over your body like waves. the delicate arrangement and the beautiful chord progressions of “magic!” are just that and the stripped down and dubbed out electronic boogie “wicked sequence” is another stunner. with the addition of a two color sleeve and explanatory text in 3 languages this will definitely become another collectors holy grail
"Histories and Fayritales" With Scandinavian troopers Lindstrom, Prins Thomas and Todd Terje seemingly making all the running at the moment, the Canary Island wing of the space disco massive makes a welcome return to the cosmic fray with a sparkling four track ep. Having previously made his mark on the daddy Daniel Wang's Balihu imprint, Ilya Santana this time appears on the longstanding Airtight label, the end result being four tracks of Moroder and Environ inspired dub disco, perfect for lounging, listening or indeed less sedentary club based activities. Recommended.
"Aftermidnight in Black Leather pants"PERMANENT VACATION - Mix-CD (PERMVAC002-2) - 12" EP (PERMVAC001-1)
it feat. tracks and remixes from joakim, whomadewho,double, lindström, alexander robotnick, maurice fulton, ilya santana ao.
the 4 track 12" sampler includes an exclusive cut from ilya santana ( balihu ), double's woman of the world , ost&kjex ( maurice fulton remix ) and tommy seebach's bobble sex.
"Analogue Mind and Blackhole" Both inspired by the analogical synthesis of the vintage systems, emphasising a powerful bass-line of one of those legendary synths. Trademark Santana sounds with disco-soundtrack nods to Giorgio Moroder, Koto, Kano, Gaz Nevada… The flip includes a remix by JL Salvatella, a more straight up dance-floor cut and some bonus beats too
ILYA SANTANA "Discotized / Holding You" - 12" (PERMVAC009-1)
Ilya Santana, the super wonderboy from the Canarian Islands strikes back! After contributing his exclusive track "Black Leather Pants After Midnight" for the Permanent Vacation compilation last summer, he is now up with his first full release for pv. The protege of Danny Wang, on whose Balihu imprint he released his debut ep in 2005, has sucked up the essence of disco, which can be heard and felt in every note of his music. The crystal clear sound, the great synth lines and the huge arpeggio cue of "Discotized", has all the ingredients for a space disco anthem and works amazing on the dancefloors around the globe. On the flip we have "holding you", a warm more metro area kinda vibe tune with beautiful string sounds.
"Quasar" On this occasion, the gentleman of the arpeggios and wonderful melodies, Ilya Santana, bring us a relaxed track inspired by the progressive rock of the 70s and more space than ever with a great load of feelings and emotion. Includes trademark Pete Herbert (Eskimo Recordings) remix with amazing percussions and funky bassline that kicks your stomach so that you can’t let dance. Excellent production. File next to Steve Kotey, LSB, Fabricio Marmarella, Lindstrom & Prins Thomas, Todd Terje, Nick Chacona, Idjut Boys.
"Things that dreams are made of" One of the legendary Human League’s most enduring works which remains an underground electro favourite to this day. A dance floor destroyer from Kissy Sell Out starts off the record. On the flip side there is a stripped down groover from electro legend Tiga, with Ilya Santana providing a Moroder-esque alternative to the track:
Arcanus Ep: "From Uranus to Mercurius & Fable"
