Iceland’s Tónarunur lands on Citizens Of Vice with the “Good To Me” EP. Two originals sit alongside a remix from Somethin’ Sanctified, the studio alias of Bent frontman Simon Mills. The whole package breathes that warm, open‑air mix of Balearic ease and cosmic disco glide – sun‑on‑Saturn stuff, but without the sci‑fi overthink. Just a steady, rolling pulse and a feeling that the season has shifted into its relaxed gear. Summer in a groove, no need for heatwave metaphors. The kind of release that slots into a sunset session without trying too hard. Citizens Of Vice has a knack for finding these moments, and Tónarunur fits right in.
Somethin’ Sanctified takes the title track and nudges it toward the floor. The remix shimmers, a groove‑led interpretation that locks into a steady, confident roll. Mills adds layers without crowding – a little synth sparkle here, a bass pulse that breathes there. Nothing feels rushed or overstuffed. The original’s easy charm stays intact, but the remix gives it a fresh push, perfect for the transition from terrace to dancefloor. A fresh dimension, indeed. Windows down or headphones on, it works. The remix doesn’t shout; it settles in and lets the rhythm do the talking. Proper Balearic business with a sly wink, made for long evenings when the music is the only temperature that matters.
You can find (and buy) this and other music pearls on the Juno Download page of the label.
