God, I really need to be at this event - it looks like pretty much the most fun thing ever.

That Peter Visti remix of Jenny Wilson is astonishing. I want more female vocalists in my nu-Balearic.

Any one else heard the new Smith & Mudd album Le Suivant? I saw a news piece on it on Resident Advisor yesterday that it was coming out next month so preordered it from the Claremont 56 website and was surprised to find it waiting on my doormat this evening. Only listened to the first few tracks so far but really liking what I've heard. It doesn't seem a massive departure from their first LP but that's no bad thing in my book and certainly reminds me of the Meanderthals album

lots of talk about the tiedye mix of dj kaos' "love the night away" on the DFA thread, but it really belongs here imo. if you haven't already heard it, check it out on disco horror- which i am now contributing to regularly!
also re: tiedye, a lot of you may also dig this edit of a popular swedish tune they recently did with rune lindbaek, which i found on the idib blog
― psychgawsple, Friday, 29 May 2009 19:32 (fourteen years ago) link
xpost - smith & mudd's new one is spectacular to be sure. already in my top 10 of 09...should be in the shops soonish, but you can do direct order if you can't wait.

the david cassidy/donna summer mix that tim f bigged up somewhere - i think maybe one of his '08 threads - is basically ruling summer '09 for me. also the kommand edit of "washington" by lucio dalla has gotten lots of plays - you can listen to it (and other edits) here: http://www.myspace.com/kommanddj
listening to that dj kaos mix right now...this might be a grower? not sure i like the vocals that much

the vocals make the song

good review btw dude, dope song

test pressing has been posting some pretty damn amazing stuff in the past few months, including a rad island-records mix by paul williams and a couple ultrabalearic vintage cafe del mar tapes by jose padilla and phil mison.
nice to finally hear how the whole new age/ambient side of balearica fits into everything on these cafe del mar mixes, i just wish i could track down more (the only other one i can find is #27 is on the djhistory forums). in particular the phil mison tape stands out as being just mind-blowingly great imo

2 more streaming mixes here i guess- http://www.h-track.com/cdm.php

max would diggg on the padilla mix. so smooth, maybe a good morning after mix?

Assume this is the one you mean (can't be bothered to find the OG thread/post]
Very nice - one of those tunes just the right side of cheesy and better for it - a bit like the entire works of The Blue Nile ;)

― psychgawsple, Wednesday, 10 June 2009 05:02 (fourteen years ago) link
i found one fairly easily on s1sk if you wanna go that route
on the same just-the-right-side-of-cheesy, this is huge for me (not the longer 7-minute version i have but still very nice):

speaking of the blue nile, i have this balearic mike set on my computer where he drops an instrumental version of "heatwave" - was surprised at how well it worked in the context of the set
― the grouse of the solitary faggot (donna rouge), Wednesday, 10 June 2009 05:36 (fourteen years ago) link
can you leonardo/blog the mp3? i can't soulseek.

this is the first i have heard of the dmc or 'disco music club'. makes me wonder how many other awesome songs are on this series of dj-only monthly promo records

david cassidy donna summer and the dj kaos tyedie mix have been blowin' my mind all day

there's a lot going on in it - just a great song all around

The only other one I know is this New Order one - which I'm not sure is balearic (and the guy who posted this Youtube vid found it in the same place I did). Doesn't seem to any thread on DMC mixes. Perhaps we should start one...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xd_tS95Kg-Y
Balearic content in this post... anyone heard the House of House remix of A Mountain of One yet?
― Treblekicker, Wednesday, 10 June 2009 21:42 (fourteen years ago) link
for those without soulseek access, here's the donna summer/david cassidy megamix - http://www.divshare.com/download/7640937-c07
i guess the dmc is a really prominent organization for battle-djs/turntablists etc, so i feel silly now for not having heard about it
― psychgawsple, Friday, 12 June 2009 17:28 (fourteen years ago) link
ya, i was wondering if it was the same DMC. so are these things like current mashups then?
― (jaxon) ( .) ( .) (jaxon), Friday, 12 June 2009 22:21 (fourteen years ago) link
o jeez listened to that fuckin donna summer/cassidy thing like six million times already

Anyone heard the Kool DJ Dust record? Lots of spacey re-edited disco loops, excellent summer fun.

I'm gonna go to London for a weekend and this will be on:
http://www.ukmusic.com/forum/events/july-10th-london-bill-brewster-free-entry-51291.html
Hoping to hear some good Balearic vibes, there's no clubs interested in the movement whatsoever here in Oporto. Any advice on how much earlier one should show up? I'm guessing this'll be packed, being free and all?
― Daniel_Rf, Tuesday, 23 June 2009 15:44 (fourteen years ago) link
henrik schwarz on beats in space played a fantastic remix of something by 'visti & meyland', i assume that's our man, check it out because it's good.
― juniper jazz (haitch), Friday, May 8, 2009 4:06 AM (1 month ago) Bookmark Suggest Ban Permalink
the henrik schwarx remix is great in it's own right, but the original is a rad little nu-balearic cut with spanish guitars, tribal percussion etc that i can't get enough of right now. the old bluesy sample is pretty effective, too- even if it weirdly reminds me of moby or something
