Relax: Edition Three

Released in 2007, Relax: Edition Three represents a peak in the collaborative synergy between Piet Blank, Jaspa Jones, and Andy Kaufhold. Following the success of the first two volumes, this edition solidified the 'Relax' series as a premier brand in the Balearic and downtempo genres. The album is structured as a double-disc experience: the first disc focuses on 'Sun' (downtempo, lounge, and acoustic textures), while the second disc focuses on 'Moon' (club-oriented dubs and house remixes). This structure allows the duo to showcase their versatility, moving from the bossa-nova inflections of 'Nothing Can Come Between Us' to the driving, bongos-heavy rhythms of the 'Bongoloverz Mix' of 'People From Ibiza'. The album features notable guest contributions and covers, including a lounge instrumental of Double's 'Captain of Her Heart', which highlights their ability to recontextualize 80s pop into modern chillout staples. Critically, it is regarded as one of the most cohesive entries in their discography, praised for its high-fidelity sound design and its ability to evoke a specific sense of place.
