Thanks for the link, this is a great mix. I also wasn't aware that Chee was planning to reissue Yoshimura's Pier & Loft. Excellent news.

talamanca system album is A+

yeah, it's fun. good stuff for the summer

this might be known to many of you but heard it in so many mixes without ever id'ing it until today - such a great track:

and another one:

and one for the road:

this might be known to many of you but heard it in so many mixes without ever id'ing it until today - such a great track:

One of the charnock richard boys posted this just last month. they were more innocent times at the welcome break back then

Ha, yeah the Rare Silk was posted a little bit upthread. Great tune

A couple of Witch albums were reissued a few years ago. Original not on Youtube but this is a tidy track too

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e_9r30pSUgk

So I just received this as a birthday present, with thanks for the recommendations:

This looks like it will be really good:

So far it is wonderful!

can anyone help me find a dj/musician in the house/balearic vein - i remember hearing a boiler room set a few years ago, he puts on some music and then plays (i think) flute over it? very mellow.

been trying to id this for about a year. finally :) what a tune!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KtM8rkELVYs

the new Suzanne Kraft & Jonny Nash album Passive Aggressive is so good, clearly all that time Nash has spent hanging around Gigi Masin has been very useful.

don't know where else to put this beautiful mellow track, it's been owning me lately. the flute, piano, and vocals are paul horn and joni mitchell from the 1974 horn album visions. don't know where the rest comes from. blue heron - "paul's blues" 2015 on mood hut

Emotional Rescue are reissuing Jah Wobble's Lago Record's output from the early 80s as The Lago Years album.

Lexx favourite Blowout is all time

It is indeed.

Comp of the year for me (so far) along with the Young Marco one

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gvXSK1LTx9s

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pnxgvDo8rxY

why did I only just discover Ban Ban Ton Ton? Lots of good mixes and suggested listening wormholes to fall down.

Probably reposting this but came on shuffle... what a jam

https://youtu.be/WTnTFRDXqIo?t=11m18s

that tune is amazing! didn't know what it was but heard it in a jamie tiller mix and been wondering for a while, such a great piece of music.

Avid lurker of this thread, enjoy p much all your admissions in here (being in Spain for two months helps, as cliche as that may sound), but the Tharsis Montes, man, that is indeed a jam, so great.

Not balearic exactly but words are just tools to box us in and divide us. other than 'genial' that is a word to key into the car of a neighbour as part of hi-jinks

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ny4R5h3pPKA

Nice! Is that your tune?

this album is great - this track a very good deep groove!

Nice! Is that your tune?

― elan,

Unfortunately not, mine don't have that peaceful joie de vivre. Someone left a tape in the car park at Morrisons. I picked it up and tried it out in the Hyundai Accent LC I had hired for the week, and then this happened, reverie flew throughout the valley and crime figures were reduced

Is that FBR on an album or just the EPs?

the album is on spotify - i think it might also be on vinyl, feel like i saw it somewhere as a whole album.

Balearic mates did you have this dream too?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MbzbsiX6ZfU

Forthcoming on Basso's Growing Bin:

Nice write up by Dr Rob over on banbantonton

Thoroughly enjoying the Phil Mison comp referenced above, thanks for the heads up.

Balearic mates I woke from my dream but the spirit of the balearic feeling is still around. I borrowed a phone and recorded some balearic people vibing in the local waterways have a great day

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NXZh0BujTSk

xp the comp has sent me down a Mison mix wormhole, he's been doing some loooong mixes at Spiritland eg. https://www.mixcloud.com/Spiritland/phil-mison-at-spiritland-11th-march-2017/

between Guassian Curve, his solo album, and his collaborative album with Suzanne Kraft, I feel like Jonny Nash is really doing a lot for 2017

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v8k59IOgFSs

groovypanda, i downloaded that endless summer 2 mix eons ago and it just came up on shuffle, just in time to accompany a day of summer housecleaning. it's sublime.

more synthpop really but had never heard this until it came up in a trujillo mix - very nice tune! just the £125 on discogs.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vgoLxzsyW88

xp ha, thanks. Keep meaning to do a third volume but don't seem to have the time

Another couple of great recent compilations:

La Torre Ibiza 2

Second one in the series from Mark Barrott and Pete Gooding

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

Crown Ruler Sound

Comp on Danny McLewin's Spacetalk label that has a similar vibe to those recent Psychemagik compilations but with an Afro/Caribbean slant

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZF82-jOVprI

only getting around to the phil mison comp now - really good! he was playing at ministry last week but i didn't leave the harvey room. pity as any sets i have of his are good.

both those la torre comps are great. love the disco davina tune off the first one.

some great tunes on this: https://www.mixcloud.com/BrilliantCorners/trujillos-cosmic-caribe-300517/

this, reissued on rush hour, is really nice too, south african disco:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AOI4zOmJZs

lastly, anyone know the tune at 15 minutes in this?

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

i got lord of the isles - in waves on the strength of this thread and it's tremendous, like what bola should have been or something? i LOVE it.

http://www.nts.live/shows/test-pressing/episodes/test-pressing-5th-august-2017

this weekend's Test Pressing show on NTS. These are always good but the one for August was exceptional I thought. No tracklisting up yet which is frustrating.

absolutely frigging obsessed rn with this one song by anna domino from 1986:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x8wTNLTb08I

managed to id that harvey tune from the above video - incredible record:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8kecKpXH7U

the new bjørn torske and prins thomas LP is pretty sick tyte, i'm listening to it a lot... so far only groovypanda's mentioned it on the lindstrom & prins thomas thread i think. maybe torske deserves more shine. seems like he's been a really big influence in norway's disco scene and still making great music

https://www.discogs.com/Various-Five-Years-Of-Loving-Notes-/release/10384395

don't think it's been mentioned but this Antinote compilation is really good - a little outside this thread's remit at times but mostly on the flutes and pads side of balearic electronics.

Torske is great. I still listen to this Nordic Chill mix he did for DJ Mag in 03.

don't think it's been mentioned but this Antinote compilation is really good - a little outside this thread's remit at times but mostly on the flutes and pads side of balearic electronics.

Nice one here.

Chee Shimizu's live mix on this Music From Memory compilation is really good, I always think of the label primarily in terms of the ambient stuff they release so to hear a proper mix that you can actually dance to is fun.

a lot of the mixes the guys behind it do are more uptempo.
