this is a thread for the BALEARIC REVIVAL

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:

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

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

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.

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.

LG you're always listening to good mixes of this stuff, point me towards something similarly uptempo and brilliant you've had on recently please

I made a mix this weekend using mostly vinyl but some digital files. https://www.mixcloud.com/biznotic/expand-and-expand/

u bros up on charlotte adigéry? her 12" and garrett's 'private life' are my too big balearic discoveries this summer

I love that Charlotte Adigery, "Senegal Seduction" is the one

enjoyed that mix brotherlovesdub, that Oktoberklubben track really reminds me of Studio.

Yeah, The Oktoberklubben is so good. I'm tempted to buy another copy before the 300 pressed are all gone.

Thanks for listening! It's not a great mix technically, levels are off due to going back and forth between vinyl and digital, but the songs are good.

@ boxedjoy - sure - this one is from last year but prob one of my favourite mixes in recent years. jamie tiller is one of the music from memory guys: https://soundcloud.com/dkmntl/orpheu-the-wizard-jamie-tiller-at-lente-kabinet-festival-28052016

there are prob more where that came from. maybe the trujillo mix from brilliant corners too, tho it's a little less obscure: https://www.mixcloud.com/BrilliantCorners/trujillos-cosmic-caribe-300517/

there are so many amazing mixes of free music that fit this thread - brilliant corners' mixcloud alone is full of these huge mixes.

Spiritland's Mixcloud feed is similarly packed with down-tempo goodness: https://www.mixcloud.com/Spiritland/

Listening to Chris Coco from Spiritland now. It's quite good, and especially nice considering he doesn't talk. I regularly listen to Melodica, but his voice is even more annoying than Mary Ann Hobbes.

i prob posted this before but this one is a real odyssey: https://soundcloud.com/johngomezldn/john-gomez-jamie-tiller-at-brilliant-corners

Also lots of good mixes over at Dr Rob's Ban Ban Ton Ton site, especially his Looking For The Balearic Beat series of mixes of new releases:

The new Harvey compilation is worth getting, as usual.

This mix from the Beat Broker is soothing me on a cold and wet Thursday morning:

The new Harvey compilation is worth getting, as usual.

i like this comp a lot but it's just not the same as what he plays when you see him. i guess it's good he keeps this divide but still.

My friend reworked Otis by Durutti Column. Should fit in balearic sets.

Parachute - From Asian Port LP

Check out "Miura Wind" at ~27:00

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=otu3X6hQDV4

This came up on shuffle on the way to work this morning but I have no idea where I got it from. Sounds like something Harvey might play so possibly that.

Great track though

That was posted in the italo rfi thread recently iirc.

love that asian port lp. the first track is one i was trying to id for a while way upthread.

That was posted in the italo rfi thread recently iirc.

Found it on my hardrive now in a folder called Loft Classics and dated 15 November 2016 so assume it was just after Mancuso died and everyone was posting their favourite tracks on FB

all the mixes you guys replied with have kept me going through a few weeks, thanks!

this drumtalk record is amazingly good imo

Didn't realise there was a new The Swan and The Lake album released earlier this year. Bit more minimal and new agey in parts but still very, very good

Loving this remix

I've wondered about this one for quite a while and up it pops with a 2017 reissue. I haven't heard the rest of the LP yet. Genre names are for the birds and insects but it can go here

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UBxLif0RPXY

Oh nice! I hope Polar Sequences gets reissued too.

"Bit more minimal and new agey in parts but still very, very good"

Yeah, this was a bit disappointing. You picked the best track to post above though!

Not sure how many followers of this thread also bookmark the New Age one but the Pauline Anna Strom compilation that seandalai posted is absolutely sublime

unbelievable african disco tune:

mega latepass but the dj sports album is prob my aoty. every second of it is perfect to me

i guess this belongs here:

i like making people up on youtube. someone replied to my comment on chris rea's "nothing's happenin' by the sea" - a beautiful reply. pic.twitter.com/0dfzqcXxkU
