A famous German trance duo from the end of the ‘90s, Piet Blank and Jaspa Jones spent a good deal of their weekends in Noderney, a small German island and the oldest seaside resort in the North Sea. They would usually mix on the terrace at Milchbar, overlooking the Unesco-recognised dunes. The wild landscape inspired Blank & Jones to create a series of mixes and this year they’re serving up season 12. The compilation album sounds like a bit like a soundtrack to a northern dolce vita, kicking off with two downtempo tracks: Crosswinds and the synth-soaked track High Fly. The tracklist also includes sweet synthpop from the French group Sixtine with L’Exactitude, an extract from their album Sweet Sixteen in 2014, as well as Franco de Mulero and Osvaldo Carreira’s Spanish guitars. The record veers towards ambient music at the end, with two interventions from Copenhagen-based producer The Swan & The Lake who reveals a remix of Desire for his hosts of the day, leaving the closing track to sunset-specialist Chris Coco, a British DJ who sets the mood in the Ibizas and Italian twilights - the ideal person to take Norderney from day to night. © Smaël Bouaici/Qobuz
