Oh interesting. I used to love the Digweed mix of Marco Polo's Prayer to the Music but don't think I've ever heard a Marco Polo original.

And features on Dirty Dave's BIS mix this week, also well worth a listen.

Oh yeah, this is really nice. Love how the first three cuts flow together seamlessly (to the point where I'm wondering why Phil didn't just segue Alive and Just Landed?) and the closing track, "Claudio's Theme" is just gorgeous, like Guthrie meets Gigi.

Out Friday on International Feel, a promising collaboration of Wolf Müller and Cass. "Aiolos" sounds like THE track.

the "above the clouds" track on this 12 is pretty sweet, ordered it a few days ago and find myself hooked on listening to the sample:

New release on Growing Bin from Bartosz Kruczyński (half of Ptaki):

Five tracks apparently but they're sequenced in a single continuous mix. Sounding quite wonderful on this late spring morning.
― doug watson, Friday, 10 June 2016 14:18 (eight years ago) link
that track about 14 minutes in is epic.

Would Radiohead - The Numbers be considered as balearic revival? It sounds pretty influenced by it to my ears.

huh, re: baltic beat, i really like this mix by Ptaki also called "baltic beat": https://soundcloud.com/ptaki/ptaki-baltic-beat

i think the best and most balearic thing ive heard all year is the mix that youtube made based on efeel's 'dawn breaks over a quiet harbor' which introduced me to letta mdulu's 'down by the river'

the new cantoma album is now on spotify. nothing earth-shatteringly new but it is a nice record:

yeah, the cantoma album is pretty good.
'nomalizo' is one of my all time favs.
― karl...arlk...rlka...lkar..., Monday, 4 July 2016 15:32 (eight years ago) link
makes sense u bros were already up on mdulu. really into her. another youtube find: sonya spence 'let the love flow on' (via youtube mix for pavement's 'shady lane' lol)
― ( ^_^) (Lamp), Monday, 4 July 2016 21:21 (eight years ago) link
yeah that is a beautiful record
― Bein' Sean Bean (LocalGarda), Monday, 4 July 2016 21:22 (eight years ago) link
weirdly i've heard both of those for the first time in the last year through totally different routes to you, the mbulu was in a mix by some guy with 100 followers or so i found on soundcloud, and the sonya spence is in one of the old sorcerer mixes (all worth downloading).
it's quite poppy and he plays the odd shit tune but that might be the actual reason i've been enjoying kenneth bager from music for dreams doing his radio show from ibiza: https://soundcloud.com/music-for-dreams/kenneth-bager-music-for-75
his between-song chat is almost exactly the same and kind of cute/hilarious, he has a lot of monotone catchphrases, but mostly the music just makes me want to be high and dancing barefoot. good place to hear new things too.
― Bein' Sean Bean (LocalGarda), Tuesday, 5 July 2016 09:24 (eight years ago) link
this week's that i just posted is particularly shit in the middle tbh - some awful uptempo stuff. but maybe wade through and find what you can find.

― ghosts that don't exist (Neil S), Tuesday, 5 July 2016 13:26 (eight years ago) link
letta mbulu has a long and varied career. some of her early records are slick south african soul and are pretty good.... there are some later ones that seem a little too schlocky to me at first listen.
the youtube playlist algorithms have been getting pretty good, haven't they? sometimes they fail bigtime (mostly by being too predictable), but other times they turn up all kinds of pleasant surprises.
― wizzz! (amateurist), Tuesday, 5 July 2016 14:03 (eight years ago) link
that list looks great neil, thanks.
― Bein' Sean Bean (LocalGarda), Tuesday, 5 July 2016 14:36 (eight years ago) link
I'm actually going to a music festival in Bilbao tomorrow, and this list is definitely getting me in the mood
― ghosts that don't exist (Neil S), Tuesday, 5 July 2016 15:15 (eight years ago) link
not really feeling the vocals on that Cantoma album.
The new Tusk Wax 21 by Ali Renault is more house than balearic but definitely worth a listen. https://www.pbvinyl.com/products/ali-renault-tusk-wax-21
