this is a thread for the BALEARIC REVIVAL

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.

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):

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

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...

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

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?

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.

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

that sample bugs the shit out of me which is sad since the track is great

^^^completely understandable, actually

i dig it even if it's definitely gimmicky

tensnake mix on beats in space = a++
