Milchbar // Seaside Season 17

Milchbar // Seaside Season 17 marks a continuation of Blank & Jones' long-running residency series for the famous Norderney beach bar. Released in April 2025, this installment further refines their 'Seaside' aesthetic, blending original productions with curated remixes and edits. The album is notable for its inclusion of a downtempo reimagining of 'Baker Street', which serves as a centerpiece for the record's nostalgic yet modern tone. Sonically, the album leans heavily into the Balearic tradition, utilizing acoustic guitars, smooth saxophone lines, and mid-tempo drum machine patterns. The presence of collaborators like Chris Coco and Cosmodelica adds a layer of deep-house and nu-disco credibility to the tracklist. Positioned as a seasonal staple in the chillout genre, the album received praise for its high-fidelity engineering and its ability to maintain a cohesive atmosphere across sixteen tracks, solidifying Blank & Jones' role as the premier architects of modern lounge music.
