The new kids on the block may have something going on but it’s not Balearic: not in origin, not in style, not in attitude. It doesn’t have that feeling.

NuNorthern Soul’s latest retrospective, Pili Pili – Selected Works 1984–2002, celebrates Jasper Van’t Hof’s groundbreaking Afro-fusion collective and the hand-crafted sleeve art by Manchester’s Chris Maude. Blending music and visual craft, Maude’s layered stencil technique and earthy palette reflect Pili Pili’s rhythmic energy and spiritual warmth — a perfect harmony between sound, story and design.

A celebration of memory, culture, and connection between Wales and the Balearics. As NuNorthern Soul continues to build a catalogue of music rooted in reflection, discovery, and timeless expression, this blog post takes a deeper dive into one of the label’s most meaningful projects. On 1st March 2024, NuNorthern Soul unveiled Cofio / Recorda / Remembrance — a release that transcends the idea of a conventional record.
