Cold Busted presents the latest in the Jet Set series, with a new flight path from Russia-via-Kazakhstan producer Oilix. The Nothing But Summer EP delivers warm vibes that'll erase the deepest winter, four tracks that typify the genre that Oilix half-jokingly refers to as 'sunhop.' "San Francisco" opens the a-side with a jaunty bounce, feeling like a '70s TV theme if not for the upbeat boom-bap rhythm. The title cut follows with more cheery guitar riffs alongside spacey synth lines, nostalgic strings, and a percussive shuffle. Flip the wax for "Southern Beach," featuring some potent block-party disco vibes delivered with horn blasts, cool keys, and a jazzy guitar solo. The single closes out with the pensive "Sunset In Mallorca" which transmits a delightfully lazy feel through it's pronounced swing and Oilix's smooth instrumentation. Nothing But Summer is a reminder that no matter the season, the sun's always shining somewhere.
