this is a thread for the BALEARIC REVIVAL

i don't mind when balearic dudes post stuff that's a little outside the scope of the genre since most of y'all have good taste. the new horsebeach does sound bland at a glance, though

An instrumental from their last album got included on some balaeric compilations and mixes. I like them a bunch, but i'm partial to WIlliam It Was Really Nothing and Girl Afraid and Horsebeach seem to continue to subtly rewrite those two songs, so i'm happy.

Is there a medical term for only wanting to listen to Sketches From An Island? Maybe "nervous breakdown." I dunno, I can just listen to both volumes of this on a loop lately and I'm good

Track 1 off the first Sketches is so horrible. I have to start on track 2.

The MIDI flute + weird phased clavinet jam? That's not one of my favorites either, but I like it fine in context. It is a strange one to kick things off, though.

In general I think I prefer the second collection, which is overall spacier and a little darker (or at least as "dark" as balearic chilldude flip-flop music gets)

maybe "pensive and reflective" is more accurate than "dark." Like that moment when you're stoned and you stop listening to the waves and seagulls and start thinking about friends you've lost touch with and wondering if your dog could be said to be having a "happy life"

That's a great description. I'm partial to the 2nd as well.

That mix looks fun

a Sun Palace comp was recently released that has several unreleased tracks as well as "rude movements"

That Ambala album from Phil Mison is super nice. Somehow missed that last year.

Meanwhile, new Tommy Awards and album coming in June:

some nice stuff on this. anyone know the track at 20 mins? it is amazing.

been listening to this mix a lot - anyone got any idea of that track at 20 mins? it's so good! asked in the soundcloud but no response.

nice new sorcerer mix - kind of soft rock. loosely. all his mixes are great imo and an hour into this i reckon the same.

heard this in a Jonny Nash mix and I love it

maybe sounds like something CFCF would do. Can't help with a specific track id though

it is a bit like that except i've not seen any cfcf tracks running at that length.

feel like i remember reading about young marco releasing a comp of old italian house music, but i heard this on a kenneth bager mix and he said despite becoming a big track last year it's just getting released on vinyl now.

from 1992. what a summer banger!

Young Marco comp was out a couple of weeks ago:

https://www.residentadvisor.net/news.aspx?id=37893

His recent Selectors comp is worth checking out too

That Psychemagik release is a treasure trove, thanks for posting that

The Young Marco Italian house comp is so so good, can't stop playing it.

cosign on that

I posed this on the bobbins of the past thread but a local welder pointed out the balearic lads might appreciate it. "the balearic lads would reet appreciate that" he said

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AQZESJ2Pga8

great track, think i first heard it played by the mood hut boys

Also a Lexx fave, I think

This one also occasionally pops up in Balearic mixes

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1uwsxSoIvC4

damn did the 2nd one ever get posted to the donkey kong country thread

This looks like it will be really good:

Young Marco comp is so good. Damn.

ya it's fabulous. Larry Heard via Italo <3

last 2 posts itt changed my life

this comp is so good - pbvynil already sold out :-(

Vinyl is sold out everywhere but it's getting a reissue I think.

there's a Young Marco Boiler Room set from a year or two ago where he plays half the stuff on the compilation while Dutch ravers enjoy the sunshine and it just looks like the most fun imaginable. Do we have a general "Italo House c or d?" style thread?

The Jex Opolis album is really good, especially if you like 80's synth vibes.

new comp from Fergus Clarke and JD Twitch - Miracle Steps: Music From The Fourth World 1983-2017 - may be of interest to the denizens of this thread. Fantastic stuff

^^^ cosign

loving that comp so much

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VSzfFr5Pel8

best track on the jex album imo

^ That was the one I wanted to post but wasn't on YouTube last week (well, couldn't find it anyway)

Been listening to this great mix from Cedric Woo this week:

https://banbantonton.com/2017/05/02/mix-cedric-woo-all-night-at-brilliant-corners-part-2/

loads of really good mixes from brilliant corners lately. i dunno when they got on the balearic bandwagon, it used to be mainly disco, but they seem to have had a string of people playing the last few months. still not a partic huge fan of the space tho, too small and full, even tho i live fairly near.

Wolfgang Voigt's RA mix has the balearic vibe 4sho

"this sounds like a middle aged woman's spotify playlist, however, I enjoyed it more than any other RA podcast in a year or more"

Welcome to the Balearic club

the Italian Dream House comp is ridiculous

For those of you who slept on the vinyl, Claremont 56's 10th anniversary compilation is now on Bandcamp. https://claremont56.bandcamp.com/album/claremont-56-10-years

This album sounds like it will be very good indeed:

New Jonny Nash & Suzanne Kraft collab is extremely horizontal
