this is a thread for the BALEARIC REVIVAL

Talking of Test Pressing, great Balearic Beats Vol 3 mix over on the site, with "sleeve notes" from Terry Farley

http://testpressing.org/2012/10/211-balearic-beats-volume-3/

New Land Of Light (Jonny Nash & Kyle Martin) album is immense

http://soundcloud.com/esp-institute/sets/esp009

kinda bored with balearic on the whole but that Dreams remix is awesome (just heard it for the first time yesterday) ... p much love all things Psychemagik

yea i gotta get a copy of that land of light release, those samples are amazing

this one passed me by earlier in the year

The new Secret Circuit album is fantastic too

http://soundcloud.com/emotional-response/secret-circuit-foggy-twilights

this is huge

ditto on the Land of Light & Secret Circuit recommendations - two fantastic albums out now. Land of Light went straight into my top five for the year, it's stunning and should be played on vinyl through a decent soundsystem to really get the best effect!

Mix I've done for a DJ History secret santa thing that I thought readers of this thread might enjoy:

Very nice groovypanda!

hey balearic bros - trying to pick a festival to go to in croatia this summer and there are so many of them now. is electric elephant still the best bet or..?

Some thoughts on the 2012 EE on this thread over on DJ History:

http://www.djhistory.com/forum/electric-elephant-2012-highs-and-lows

ah yeah should have checked there, cheers...twitch says EE is the best festival crowd he's ever encountered? sold.

Electric Elephant is amazing, 100% recommended, maybe a slightly older crowd than the others but more mellow with it. Most of them take place on the same site anyway so it's probably a matter of picking the one with the DJs you like best, but that one is fantastic. Really friendly as well, the DJs just hang out and join the party/sit on the beach, we ended up having dinner in a restaurant next to Andy Weatherall last time, there's a really open feel to it.

I mostly bumped this thread to rep for Mario Basanov's album, which I really enjoyed on the way in.

new pharaohs 12" on ESP is pretty cool

This is from about 7-8 years ago, but it has been my epic balearic jam as of late.

groovypanda's mix posted upthread is fucking great btw

Piccadiily's section is now called Balearic, Adriatic, Yacht Rock, Downbeat. Is anyone else using Adriatic as agenre?

I know it's not ~strictly Balearic~ but that compilation for a decade of Eskimo Recordings ("Eskimonde") is making summer seem nearer than it is for me.

this is great, some nice roedelius-esque synth action on B2

New Sunless '97 twelve is sweet: https://soundcloud.com/sunless97/sunless-97-aurora-ii

Land of Light have released a 50 minute live rehearsal jam for free download:

^really nice

they're playing in london tomorrow..

posted this on fave mixes but think it's more at home here - amazing deep spiritual type stuff

http://www.junodownload.com/plus/2012/11/07/juno-plus-podcast-47-young-marco/

it's been a while, so much to catch up on! that young marco podcast is great, i really like his release on esp institute last year...

so much so that i put it on this mix i just made! it's not straight up balearic, but i think maybe the overall mood might at least be something approaching balearic house? regardless i figured that since people in this thread seemed to dig the last mix i posted, i should give it another go. also, i heard about a few of these tracks through ilm, so thanks!

KOKOMO promo mix

[beach sounds]
claro intelecto - it's getting late
tin man - finger paint
daniel avery - water jump
young marco - video days
juju & jordash - track david would play
anthony naples - mad disrespect
don carlos - play it again-paradise
st. etienne - nothing can stop us (ken/lou dub)
chez damier - untitled a1
the african dream - make a living
electribe 101 - talking with myself (jazzy piano mix)
kerri chandler - atmosphere ep track 1
fort romeau - kingdoms
paradise orchestra - satisfy your dream

downloading now. did you get that african dream via my rec? i posted about it in techno/house bobbins of the past.

going to see young marco in berlin on friday.

nah, i found out about it when it was on the phil mison originals comp... think i heard about tin man from you tho!

did you buy the vinyl of african dream? it's pricey enough on discogs.

no, i used both cds and vinyl. that's one of the only cd tracks in the second half tho, it's like 60-70% vinyls overall

it would rule to have that track on vinyl tho, damn. i was pretty happy to have picked up an original copy of that chez damier track for a mere $20 tho!

feels like an age a proper nu-baeleric album was released.
by that i mean not a ltd press vinyl/bandcamp only release, but a cd that i can go buy locally.
bottom line is i'm really loving the meanderthals album at the moment, and need more.
is there anything i have missed out on in recent times ?

Did you get the Land Of Light album from last year?

Also the new Almunia album is out very soon and what I've heard so far sounds might fine:

https://soundcloud.com/claremont-56/almunia-pulsar-clips

ok, that's a few mentions of 'land of light' ...
not seen that in any racks, but sounds like i need to investigate further
whereas having streamed some of that almunia - its hitting the top of my wishlist.

You can hear the full version of Secret Marriage here. Beautiful stuff

yeah, i'm liking that and will definitely be nice for when the sun comes out
.. ta for the tip off

secret circuits - 'tropical psychedelics' from last year, def worth checking out

Secret Circuit seconded.

His new album is out very soon on Beats In Space too.

daniel grau

trujillo on BIS playing his stuff. so great. i can't wait for the compilation.

need more pop song based nu-balearic imo:

https://soundcloud.com/germans/cruel

my friend made this, which is like legend of zelda balearic i guess. i think is lovely and i'm very proud of him!

http://fairewell.bandcamp.com/track/only-the-dead-are-smiling

the ep is v cheap and great (although the rest of it is not really this kind of stuff it must be said)

enjoyed yr mix btw, psychspawgle, had a listen a few times in the last week.

New Almunia album dropped in the post yesterday and sounds every bit as gorgeous as those soundcloud clips would lead you to believe

"higher heights" off the new secret circuit is pretty balearic. one of the best tracks on it imo.

That's the other album I'm heavily listening to at the moment. Enjoying it but preferred Tropical Psychedelics to be honest.

Couple of great new mixes:

Basso Cocktails By The Pool

Moonboots: Just Yesterday

"Tracklisting" for the Moonboots mix:

http://i41.tinypic.com/jkk5k1.jpg

cheers for those. this basso mix is really cool so far.

that land of light set from upthread is pretty great

i'm trying to think of this single or EP that came out within the past couple years and the cover art was nautical imagery, like maybe a solid white ship on a black background and it had really prominent new agey/astrology-ish lyrics. anyone remember what it was?

yacht?

no, it was like something that would come out on esp institute or international feel
