Becki says, “I went out to Ibiza this summer with my dad as he was meeting some top class DJ’s such as Matthias Seibert (Bora Bora & Es Paradis ) and Heath Holmes of DJ Magazine.

She has just left for 5 months in Ibiza and could come back as one of this years biggest breakout stars.The former ballerina who had to retire due to a foot injury , has created a Huge anthem in Summer of Love . With vocals from Fiona Lynch, it is an upbeat pounding tune.
On the EP there`s a chilled out Snakestyle Ibiza Sunrise mix and a frantic Alex Tronic D&b mix . The other tracks are the big-bassed Fluke-sounding Essence and the house pose of Disco Barbie .The Summer starts here. Summer of Love is out May 6th. Rick Fulton – The Daily Record 6.5.2011Becki Bardot - Summer of Love EP
The first great record of summer 2011 is here already. It’s called ‘Summer Of Love, which should give you an idea of where it’s coming from and the disc is Bardot by name and Bardot by nature – it’s deep, teasing and sinuously sexy without ever being gratuitous or in your face. It’s the kind of disc you’ll be playing to death before you even realise it.
The Bardot factor makes it come across like an experiment between Portishead and The Orb – aching, romantic and longing on one hand and spikily electronic on the other. Lead vocalist Fiona Lynch has all of Beth Gibbons’ throaty vocal affectations and her backing band have the kind of sonic ambition that makes you have faith in dance music all over again.
