Cantoma – Cantoma

Music For Dreams are extremely proud to announce the first-ever vinyl release of ‘Cantoma’, the debut album from legendary Café Del Mar DJ and collector extraordinaire, Phil Mison aka Cantoma. Left, right and center, Phil has been one of the key players in the chill out/Balearic scene and today is more indemand than ever playing festivals and clubs all over Europe – recent gigs include playing DJ Harvey’s birthday bash at Pikes in Ibiza and alongside NYC icon Justin Strauss.

His first album, the self-titled ‘Cantoma’, was originally released back in 2003 and quickly become a modern chill out classic selling over 15,000 copies with tracks featured on more than 150 compilations and supported by quality DJs such as Ross Allen, Idjut Boys, Moonboots, Harvey and many many more. This new vinyl edition is spread over three records and includes all the original cuts that have become modern Balearic, chill and lounge anthems: ‘Pandajero’ with its dubbed out flamenco; the Indian vibes of ‘The Call’; ‘Rain’ showcasing Phil’s fantastic guitar playing over electronic beats; the beautiful ‘Essarai’; ‘Overtime’s dubby styling and the Mediterranean moods of ‘Etoile’. On this album, every track truly is a winner.

The 2015 vinyl release also features bonus tracks and mixes not available on the 2003 LP, including three tracks recorded during the original album sessions but only ever used on special limited Japanese versions and compilations: the summery ‘Bill Morgan On The Organ’; atmospheric ‘Trussevich’ and accordion-based ‘Katja’. We also have a previously unreleased gem discovered while digging in the archives of the Music For Dreams headquarters – ‘Mondo Christy’ is an uptempo Joe-Claussel-style stomper with a blend of beautiful violin and
acoustic guitars which sounds as fresh as when it was first made. Another heavy-hitter is the highly sought-after Banzai Republic remix of ‘The Call’, a track DJ Harvey included on his legendary San Diego Mixes from 2004. And to top it all off, there’s a specially commissioned brand new Ruf Dug remix of the LP’s biggest track ‘Pandajero’. Manchester’s Ruf Dug slows down the original, bringing extra keys and his magnificent Compass. Point style to create a perfect sunset tune.
Triple vinyl release limited edition to 300 copies.
