World View

There's something about summer that makes everything fall into place. Maybe it feels even more signi fi cant to us, especially if you know MM Discos through its Balearic leanings. It's that time of year when the whole scene reaches its peak, with everyone dreaming of being in Ibiza- or at the very least, somewhere on a forgotten beach or island in the Mediterranean. For that very moment, Desert Island Disco make their MM Discos debut with a record tailor-made for the summer of 2026. Splitting their time between London and Lisbon, the collective have already shown a deep a ffi nity for African-rooted midtempo sounds through releases on Shades of Sound and Mister T Records, alongside a steady stream of sought- after self-released edits on their Bandcamp. This time, Desert Island Disco dive head fi rst into South Africa, drawing deeply from the worlds of Kwaito and Bubblegum to deliver a record steeped in the warmth, groove and unmistakable spirit of both genres. From its South African foundations, *World View* reaches far beyond, weaving together tropical textures, Caribbean fl avours and Balearic sensibilities into something fl uid and di ffi cult to pin down. A borderless collection where geography becomes secondary to feeling, yet every track remains fi rmly rooted in the dance fl oor.
