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:

four weeks pass...

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:

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.

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.

willem, Friday, 10 November 2017 08:34 (eight years ago)

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

Bein' Sean Bean (LocalGarda), Friday, 10 November 2017 08:52 (eight years ago)

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

groovypanda, Friday, 10 November 2017 09:27 (eight years ago)

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

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

Le Bateau Ivre, Thursday, 23 November 2017 14:08 (eight years ago)

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

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

Various 2017 best ofs are out over on Ban Ban Ton Ton (not on Testpressing this year).

Usual mix of stuff posted in this thread and other gems that went under the radar.

more balearic rock than straight dance music, but i'm seeing Yumi Zouma today in austin and i've been thinking about their balearic revival influences a lot recently (they did an homage to air france's last single as one of their first releases). so, so good, and their releases keep showing a bunch of growth.

austinb, Saturday, 13 January 2018 21:24 (eight years ago)

(their label Cascine takes a lot of influence from Sincerely, Yours and the Gothenberg scene in general, so I end up following a bunch of their releases)

austinb, Saturday, 13 January 2018 21:26 (eight years ago)

yes! I think I've mentioned Cascine before but they are basically keeping the Air France/Studio/Tough Alliance axis of 2007 balearic pop alive. How were YZ live? I am in a WhatsApp group they shared on their Facebook which the band members and tour manager are members of and it's been so frustrating hearing about this tour and them not actually coming to Scotland.

I had a five hour bus journey last week and that Mison mix was a real help on it
