By the way, I heard E2-E4 for the first time a few days ago and was blown away. Wish I knew about years ago. Any other recommendations for similar 'classic' balearic/electronic music?

Any other recommendations for similar 'classic' balearic/electronic music?
feel like this one could be slotted away in a similar electronic/euphoric subcategory of balearica
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I8LeK27_c-M
tho e2-e4 is obviously a lot less cheesy than most of this stuff, sorta hard to compare anything to it in a direct way. on the proggier/noodlier side of things definitely ashra, maybe transfer station blue? wahnfried's townelle? innovative communication in general - clara mondshine, double fantasy, etc. not sure if those were actual classics at the time but they feel right.
― hug niceman (psychgawsple), Sunday, 29 March 2015 16:05 (nine years ago) link
thanks, I'll check those out. More asking about classic records in general than something exactly akin to E2-E4.

that spotify playlist was a bit overkill for me - when it's 360 tracks and some are just well-known hits it becomes a bit useless and unfocused.

anyone know the track at 41 mins in this mix? it's amazing:
https://soundcloud.com/seekmagic/bassos-guest-mix-cocktails-by
good mix too - think i had it somewhere before it came up in my soundcloud stream today
― Junior Dictionary (LocalGarda), Wednesday, 8 April 2015 10:50 (nine years ago) link
Maybe something by Shunzoh Ohno? I need to check his late 70s/early 80s albums to confirm. Also I just realized that Basso is aka "Breeze", who constructed several definitive Nu-Balearic mixes that were floating around the web five or so years ago.
― doug watson, Wednesday, 8 April 2015 14:35 (nine years ago) link
Yeah I think that one was as Breeze - I am sure I've heard it before it got shared in my stream today - possibly a few years back.
I will investigate Shunzoh Ohno, thanks.

good mix by sorcerer - this kinda ends up as house/dub techno by the middle, but either way i'm putting it here.

― groovypanda, Tuesday, 21 April 2015 09:32 (nine years ago) link
Yeah I mostly just stick it on shuffle for an hour or so when I'm in the right mood and short on ideas, which is usually Sunday morning.
― Matt DC, Tuesday, 21 April 2015 09:45 (nine years ago) link
there are some brilliant tunes on it for sure - just it's a bit of a wide lens - it's (obviously) quite a brit-centric 80s take on balearic too, there are a lot of old tunes i hear in many diff mixes that are quite a diff take on balearic.
― the swagger of oasis (LocalGarda), Tuesday, 21 April 2015 09:47 (nine years ago) link
That Sorcerer mix is glorious, the shift into house and beachy techno midway through feels very early 90s. It's actually more like a really good compilation than a mix.
― Matt DC, Thursday, 23 April 2015 17:45 (nine years ago) link
yeah, amazing mix

no thread for taragana pyjarama but his new ep feels balearic so i'll put this here:http://pro.beatport.com/track/ber-original-mix/6642064wish i could find the full track online for yall to listen to but anyhow the whole ep is decent imo. it has a nice air france / late 90s dj sasha vibe.
that soul family sensation cut sounds so much like EBTG... yeah why not, i'll seek out the remixes

Psychemagik's mixes are excellent. Any word on their own 12s? I only know their remix of "Night Flight", which owns the song outright.

Also, my nine-year old daughter is fanatical about this mix and has named one of her stuffed animals "Psychemagi". No lie.

It is! The original was a Balearic gem but this is an outstanding reworking. I kinda feel bad for Lexx, whose much shorter mix on the B-side is pretty good yet dominated by this version.
