"Escape From Chinatown" latest 12" on Brennan Green's Chinatown label. Both sides collabs btwn Green & Studio w/ Danny Wang. Really great 12".

Also, has anyone heard the West Side 12 inch with "Part 1" and "Part 2"? Is it just an even longer version split into the two halves?
the brennan green remix 12" is one-sided the 7" has a pt1 and pt2 which are both done by studio.
i can leo if u want.

If you haven't already, you need to download this Peter Visti DJ mix from 2-4 Hours - one of the best balearic mixes I've heard, perhaps the best, and I've heard a lot of Balearic DJ mixes this past twelve months.
As with (the reliably excellent) Phil Mison, Visti seems ultimately a bit housist - as lush and as dreamy and as sumptuous and as floaty and as swirly as this is, the kickdrum remains steady and the vibe is kinda tracky and anti-songful. The result is like an alternate deep house (not a million miles away from Henrik Schwarz, actually, although without the techy edge) - total flotation tank music.

best balearic mix I heard all year was from Balearic Mike.

this new dfa band Hercules and Love Affair sounds pretty balearicy
― J0rdan S., Sunday, 13 January 2008 02:33 (sixteen years ago) link

hercules is more just straight up disco or disco house ... but yes great
talked about em a bit on the dfa thread, apparently there is a whole album coming
― dmr, Sunday, 13 January 2008 05:30 (sixteen years ago) link
actually you're right, "athene" is pretty balearicy
the 12" on dfa (roar / classique #2) is a little different, more acid / chicago sounding
― dmr, Sunday, 13 January 2008 05:49 (sixteen years ago) link
i just bought the 12'' off itunes (u_u) but i haven't listened to it yet.
the new single "blind" w/ antony has pretty balearic hand percussion and shimmery guitars but idk his voice makes it sound really campy and almost burlesque.
― J0rdan S., Sunday, 13 January 2008 05:52 (sixteen years ago) link
any info on the album??
actually "blind" leans more toward real showy disco (all trumpets and junk) but either way it's still kinda so-so

does anyone have a tracklist for the "paul and marc get high and go to the beach" mix, by any chance? still loving the shit out of this several months later

I'm really enjoying the Peter Visti mix, Tim. Care to point me in the direction of mixes of similar style and quality.

Williams - Love On A Real Train (Version by Studio) (what is that^^?)
Hoping it's a remix of a cover of the Tangerine Dream song from "Risky Business"?!
― Savannah Smiles, Monday, 14 January 2008 14:42 (sixteen years ago) link
it is.

First time posting on this thread, but I've been checking out and loving the recommendations that people have linked to here, so props to everyone for spreading the balearic love. Following the Cosmic Disco link, I came across this listing of several different mixes - http://www.coolinthepool.com/radio.html. Anybody heard any of these? The track lists are all provided. There are entries from Visti, Aeroplane, Coyote, Mudd, etc etc.

Absolutely obsessed with Aeroplane's remix of Low Motion Disco's "Love Love Love" right now.

Never mind - I've seen it on 20jfg...
― Savannah Smiles, Tuesday, 22 January 2008 01:16 (sixteen years ago) link
...and, yes, it's amazing. The mp3 has a little digital glitch at about 3:29 which sets off massive obsessive compulsive sirens in my addled mind, so I hope this will be for sale digitally at some point. I am sick.
― Savannah Smiles, Tuesday, 22 January 2008 01:22 (sixteen years ago) link
Does anyone know a good online store that sells a lot of this stuff digitally? (I know that's kind of sacrilege with this stuff, but I seriously need mellow ipod commute tunes).

i dunno if this really fits in the balearic thread, but didn't know where else to put it and didn't know if i wanted to start a new thread on them yet just based on the myspace tracks. it's pretty much like the Beach Boys Love You album. synth pop and sunshine psych melodies. kinda neat. Runway to Elsewhere is sick.

what's the deal w/ windsurf? are they putting out anything other than that mp3 ep soon or is this just something these dudes do when they're bored w/ their solo stuff?
― J0rdan S., Sunday, 27 January 2008 22:01 (sixteen years ago) link
they are either working or are done/almost done with an album as far as i know
― winston, Monday, 28 January 2008 00:31 (sixteen years ago) link
they have a four/five track ep coming out on internasjonal very soon...and a remix for Shawn Lee on Ubiquity....

Morning I'm thinking that this may be of interest to some of you guys;- To celebrate the imminent release of "Beard Science Razor - Sharp Edits Vol 2", our hirsute friends have concocted a whole set of custom edits which has been lovingly mixed by Jaz. Entitled "Songs From The Cutting Room Floor" it is available to download online from www.trackwerk.net

having listened to the mixes on here and a load of the Hercules stuff, can you tell me the difference between all this balearic stuff and what Environ /Balihu has been throwing out for years.
I get all the guitary re-edit stuff but most of the new electronic stuff seems only to be balearic cause its the new name to call everything by.
...just sayin'
