this is a thread for the BALEARIC REVIVAL

awesome

awesome, thanks for that.

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?

Maybe "Sueño Latino", or would that be too similar? ;-)

this is a couple of years old now and i'm not 100% sure it fits on this thread but the alfonso lovo reissue on numero is *incredible*

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

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.

thanks, I'll check those out. More asking about classic records in general than something exactly akin to E2-E4.

Here's a Spotify playlist of that DJ History Balearic poll, by the way:

https://open.spotify.com/user/fingermag/playlist/1S4X40YzybVNS3KrHqPel5

Saw that Mr Hogge posted on FB yesterday that he's starting up the Lovefingers site again very soon. Whoop!

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.

if only there were an ilxor crazy enough to make a playlist of every single track mentioned in this thread

anyone know the track at 41 mins in this mix? it's amazing:

good mix too - think i had it somewhere before it came up in my soundcloud stream today

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.

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.

on my fourth or fifth play of that since yesterday, it really is a cut above.

New Suzanne Kraft album soon on Melody As Truth:

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.

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.

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.

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.

yeah, amazing mix

it does feel v v polished - listening to it again now. i recognise some of the housier tracks.

no more "balearic revival" talk w/o tears for air france this is bullshit

New Mark Barrott != bullshit

You scared me there for a second.

another great dream chimney mix - this time max essa.

track just after 12mins is amazing!

Remix/Edit of this:

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/6642064
wish 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

this is good, it's from last year:

elaborate hoax - slowtation

this is so, so fucking good

how are the other editions?

magik sunrise is a classic in my book, haven't heard cyrkles

I've got them all. Cyrkles is as great as the others

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

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QIu338Ouw0U

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

i love their remix of mirror people's kaleidoscope

doug that mix is amazing

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.

second track on this is amazing - it's from this http://www.discogs.com/Wilderness-America-A-Celebration-Of-The-Land/release/2415034

also the track at 32 mins, dunno what it is.

great mix overall.

and only $1000 on discogs, a steal

really lovely song though

Just bought two this afternoon

Usually sells for around £50 though.

looks like LG's been had

this is set to be one of the big blissed out Balearic tunes of summer 2015

Bicep - Celeste

That Bicep track >>>>>>>

Where's the vocal sample from? I can't place it.

this Jose Padilla album sounds v. nice

Number None, I was just coming to post that! Yes, good stuff.

nice remix, euphoric track with tribal drums and rippling sparkling synths
