Running slightly late this week, but welcome to another edition of Blue Note Dispatch. Sometimes it pays to wait a moment - if only to be able to listen to the brand-new EP from the legendary duo Bicep, their first standalone material under their own name since 2021's Isles.

"Lemonder" is a slightly melancholic, breakbeat-driven number that Map.Ache himself wouldn't be ashamed of. It's a landmark release too, opening a new chapter for the duo. Quoting the artists: "We've finally managed to step up our recording process, allowing us to collaborate live in the room with amazing vocalists like SOARR and Saskia to add a whole new layer to our sound."
I'd also like to draw your attention to the opening track of Total 26, the newest edition of Kompakt's long-running annual compilation series, "Xtasy" by DJ H0tline. A wonderful vocal paired with an energetic kick makes for a hypnotic blend.
Happy listening,
XoXo
