ditto on the Land of Light & Secret Circuit recommendations - two fantastic albums out now. Land of Light went straight into my top five for the year, it's stunning and should be played on vinyl through a decent soundsystem to really get the best effect!

hey balearic bros - trying to pick a festival to go to in croatia this summer and there are so many of them now. is electric elephant still the best bet or..?

Some thoughts on the 2012 EE on this thread over on DJ History:
http://www.djhistory.com/forum/electric-elephant-2012-highs-and-lows
― groovypanda, Wednesday, 9 January 2013 20:36 (eleven years ago) link
ah yeah should have checked there, cheers...twitch says EE is the best festival crowd he's ever encountered? sold.
― jabba hands, Thursday, 10 January 2013 14:18 (eleven years ago) link
Electric Elephant is amazing, 100% recommended, maybe a slightly older crowd than the others but more mellow with it. Most of them take place on the same site anyway so it's probably a matter of picking the one with the DJs you like best, but that one is fantastic. Really friendly as well, the DJs just hang out and join the party/sit on the beach, we ended up having dinner in a restaurant next to Andy Weatherall last time, there's a really open feel to it.
I mostly bumped this thread to rep for Mario Basanov's album, which I really enjoyed on the way in.

Piccadiily's section is now called Balearic, Adriatic, Yacht Rock, Downbeat. Is anyone else using Adriatic as agenre?
― mizzell, Tuesday, 26 February 2013 15:33 (eleven years ago) link
I know it's not ~strictly Balearic~ but that compilation for a decade of Eskimo Recordings ("Eskimonde") is making summer seem nearer than it is for me.

it's been a while, so much to catch up on! that young marco podcast is great, i really like his release on esp institute last year...
so much so that i put it on this mix i just made! it's not straight up balearic, but i think maybe the overall mood might at least be something approaching balearic house? regardless i figured that since people in this thread seemed to dig the last mix i posted, i should give it another go. also, i heard about a few of these tracks through ilm, so thanks!

downloading now. did you get that african dream via my rec? i posted about it in techno/house bobbins of the past.
going to see young marco in berlin on friday.
― Tioc Norris (LocalGarda), Tuesday, 23 April 2013 21:40 (eleven years ago) link
nah, i found out about it when it was on the phil mison originals comp... think i heard about tin man from you tho!
― akadarbarijava (psychgawsple), Tuesday, 23 April 2013 22:05 (eleven years ago) link
did you buy the vinyl of african dream? it's pricey enough on discogs.
― Tioc Norris (LocalGarda), Tuesday, 23 April 2013 22:22 (eleven years ago) link
no, i used both cds and vinyl. that's one of the only cd tracks in the second half tho, it's like 60-70% vinyls overall
it would rule to have that track on vinyl tho, damn. i was pretty happy to have picked up an original copy of that chez damier track for a mere $20 tho!
― akadarbarijava (psychgawsple), Wednesday, 24 April 2013 04:48 (eleven years ago) link
feels like an age a proper nu-baeleric album was released.by that i mean not a ltd press vinyl/bandcamp only release, but a cd that i can go buy locally.bottom line is i'm really loving the meanderthals album at the moment, and need more.is there anything i have missed out on in recent times ?
― mark e, Wednesday, 24 April 2013 09:06 (eleven years ago) link
Did you get the Land Of Light album from last year?
Also the new Almunia album is out very soon and what I've heard so far sounds might fine:

ok, that's a few mentions of 'land of light' ... not seen that in any racks, but sounds like i need to investigate furtherwhereas having streamed some of that almunia - its hitting the top of my wishlist.

You can hear the full version of Secret Marriage here. Beautiful stuff

secret circuits - 'tropical psychedelics' from last year, def worth checking out

enjoyed yr mix btw, psychspawgle, had a listen a few times in the last week.

New Almunia album dropped in the post yesterday and sounds every bit as gorgeous as those soundcloud clips would lead you to believe
― groovypanda, Wednesday, 8 May 2013 07:29 (eleven years ago) link
"higher heights" off the new secret circuit is pretty balearic. one of the best tracks on it imo.
― dmr, Wednesday, 8 May 2013 16:14 (eleven years ago) link
That's the other album I'm heavily listening to at the moment. Enjoying it but preferred Tropical Psychedelics to be honest.

i'm trying to think of this single or EP that came out within the past couple years and the cover art was nautical imagery, like maybe a solid white ship on a black background and it had really prominent new agey/astrology-ish lyrics. anyone remember what it was?
