this is a thread for the BALEARIC REVIVAL

the new cosmic balearic beats is like 100x better than the first

I really liked the first volume. I started listening to it again a few weeks ago but I can see where the criticisms levelled at it on the Disco Horror blog are coming from

there's a ton of discussion upthread about the first volume. i don't remember specifics but everyone else kinda decided they were disappointed- i think i was saying that i preferred it to fred deakin's 'nu balearica' comp on ministry of sound but nobody agreed, etc.

i don't even agree with that anymore tho ha

The Milky Disco series is my favourite I think.

it's not that i hated Cosmic Balearic Beats Vol 1, but it just kinda fell flat on the mix side. wasn't bad though. but the second one is really rad. I feel similarly about the Milky Disco series. Vol 2 >>> Vol 1, but Vol 1 isn't bad

07. Premier Rang - Zoé et Heine

there's a new 12" by them on IDIB that I saw at other music the other day but I didn't know what they were all about, anyone heard?

I had a hard time listening to Fred Deakin's Nu Balearica (CD 2). Is it just me or it really is boring?

balearic is boring

there's a new 12" by them on IDIB that I saw at other music the other day but I didn't know what they were all about, anyone heard?

I've only heard that IDIB track, but it's really nice. Starts with static-y rain sound fx, kicks in with a kind of motorik-y beat, lazer sound FX start flyin' around...
You can hear it at the end of a mix Mike Simonetti did for Diesel radio. Come to think of it, Premier Rang did a mix for the IDIB blog that's pretty great.

(that said, there's nothing Balearic about it, as far as I can tell - it's much more 80s Italian horror movie soundtrack stuff)

milky disco is the best comp in this vein by a long shot imo!!

not sure where this dude belongs, but i've been listening to this Washed Out track all morning long.

Same here, I've been playin that Washed Out track all day !
This is exactly what I want to listen to these days, this kind of lo-fi meets nu-balearica sound.

anyone else dig that tv scene cover from earlier in the year by discosession? looks like copies are going for quite a bit already... http://www.discogs.com/Discossession-Feat-Rie-Lambdoll-TV-Scene/release/1708572, but i found that they have some left here for the original but still ridiculous price of $20 + shipping. you can hear the original version on the (really fuckn awesome) beats in space mix dj kza did a week or so back, and the soft rocks remix feat. kathy diamond here.

the other crue-l release this year- stoned green apples 'sugar k'- is also great

Currently listening to this great great great Ronny & Renzo mix from April on the Cosmic Disco site:

http://www.cosmicdisco.co.uk/2009/04/15/ronny-renzo-exclusive-mix-interview

I love these guys' sound, so lethargic and ominous and dense. I wish they'd do more! I still play their djhistory mix from last year all the time.

yeah the QV remix of ronny & renzo is one of my favorite late-late-late-night listenings

the mungo jetset rmx of big smack and flies is great too

^^^ Love that but the original is kinda underrated as a result of how good the remix is.

they have similar sounds, r&r and mungo, humid & dense

Yes, I'd go so far as to say that mungolian jet set are at their best when they're close to R&R. Love that humid sound.

dunno if anyones mentioned this yet but the new sorcerer album is his best yet

feels more fully-formed, less like a collection of half-hearted jams

agreed. i've only heard aboaut 2/3 of the tracks on it thus far but definitely good, funky stuff! new windsurf material is sounding like their best yet as well...

"raydio (play it)" is pretty awesome.

also still can't get enough of that kza beats in space, so many of my favorites wound up on there

that didn't work for me

started last night off proper balearic with jon & vangelis "state of independence" as per KZAs inspiration

jesus i just read that and realized how english it sounded.

properly balearic? balearically proper?

and then i played mike francis' survivor but got embarrassed and turned it off :(

totally not embarassing imo...

i fucking love this song, but didn't think it'd go over in that bar. it's kinda douchey

oh hey i was there

good set dudes

o hey, did we meet?

we did not :/ i always feel kind of awkward going up to DJs when they're busy. are you playing again this month?

we don't have any planned at the moment, but add yourself to our facebook group so we can invite you to our next party.

er, try this

ack! stupid bbcode

my god, ray mang edit of "let's go to brasilia"...

^^^ the best thing on that 'le disco' comp imo

the whole comp is awesome. i just listened to it only once, but i can say there's no dud in that bunch.

seriously, it's like a whos-who of producers, and nobody really disappoints

they say that the original music on tele music remixed haven't been released yet. so how come there's an arpadys song in there (monkey star)?

Holy crap... the Montée album. I think Lindstrom has actually just gone all out and signed an actual 80s soft rock band. I only gave it a cursory listen at low volume because I was a bit embarassed about my housemates overhearing it.

since ive started listening to this shit slightly embarrassing has become my bread and butter

Is "Bones" with the Way of the Ancients remix out on digital yet?

try the hype machine....

think 20JFG has an extremely loud mp3 of "Bones" posted. which will be fine, since playing out a picture disc will sound fairly shitty.
