Record of the Week: Mendes & Alçada 'Coaster'

That is nice and slow… Portugal is on the map again with this lovely piece of vinyl out on the flawless Claremont 56. I absolutely love whatever comes out on this label. And when it is on a Smith & Mudd, Balearic spirit and from Portugal it just can’t disappoint. Please pay attention and do not miss this beauty from Mendes & Alçada as you may regret it! On the 12” front, also worth a mention are the Burial and Four Tet essential collaboration on a very limited black label pressing and Featurecast take on Aretha Franklin’s One Step classic could also have easily been my record of the week.
