^^ q&a i did w/ rune lindbaek for all who r interested

d/ling that Milky Disco mix, the first one was great and the Hatchback album is good too. Summer vibes!

That Milky Disco comp sounds like it could be great but eMusic not taking Maestro is bullshit.

anyone heard this? http://www.discogs.com/release/1777118

looks interesting.

the schwarz remix was on his recent BIS mix, it's good, not rly balearic tho?

listening to that milky disco comp for the first time and wtf version of "pissed and passed out" is that? totally sucks like 99% of the fun out of the "original tempo" version on the 12"- the drums sound muted, the build comes too quickly, it's 3 minutes shorter, there are added (misplaced, imo) synths, and no jodorowsky sample in sight.

maybe this version will grow on me but "pissed and passed out" was one of my favorite tracks last year and it's totally lame that when it finally gets released on a widely-distributed comp they use this neutered remix business

here's the superior version for those who don't have it

Belatedly announcing that the Meanderthals record is amazing. Love the eerie end of the world synth sweeps they drape over everything. Kind of wish the backing music for A Mountain of One sounded more like this.

asian inspired chiiiiiiiiilllled out balearic

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.

yeah i am insanely jealous of anyone going to electric elephant

tix to croatia aren't exactly cheap, tho

you are right about that Jenny Wilson!

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

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?

^^^^ jaxon mentioned this to me

hey space cowboy & the macallan 18 year, will you guys email me regarding Balearic Mike? i can't for the life of me figure out how to email you directly thru ILX...

another dimension at geeeeemail dot com please.

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.

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 ;)

whoa

that mix is awesome and i realllllly want an mp3

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):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=utY4tcV1eCw

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

can you leonardo/blog the mp3? i can't soulseek.

There are no issues with posting full mixes here by the way.

rad, ty for clarification

i luv blue nile

the more shit that sounds like blue nile, the better this world is imo

what is this david cassidy donna summer mix

two youtubes up

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

cant stop playing that laurent voulzy -- nice find

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

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

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?

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

ya, i was wondering if it was the same DMC. so are these things like current mashups then?

o jeez listened to that fuckin donna summer/cassidy thing like six million times already

k-k-k-killin it

SF peeps - Balearic Mike is in town this week and has a few gigs lined up - happy hour at Triple Crown on Thursday *and* Friday (6-10pm) and then Beards of a Feather at Lazlo on Tuesday...he's excited to play and is a great DJ so come out!

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

for ppl who arent following the air france thread the new track is great
