We Are the Children of the Sun Various Artists

Selected by British DJ and vinyl hunter Paul Hillery, new BBE Music compilation We Are The Children Of The Sun showcases a shimmering collection of rare folk funk and AOR with a distinctly Balearic feel. Former tour DJ for Polyphonic Spree and the man behind YouTube channel and mix series Folk Funk & Trippy Troubadours, Hillery's lovingly handpicked musical assembly takes in strummed soft rock, blissful beach beats, the soft fizz of electronica, all carried to your ears by a gentle summer breeze. The music on We Are The Children Of The Sun ranges from hazy, long-forgotten early 70s tapes, right through to digital compositions recorded during lockdown in 2020. "Tune in" says Paul, "and ruminate while consciousness is awoken with transmissions dropping out from the fringes of psyche tranquillity, holding hands with folk-funk that runs deep and hazy, as the bejewelled turquoise waters lap gently at the ocean's shore."
