steve kotey needs little introduction, head honcho of bear entertainment, an accomplished producer and a member of chicken lips. kotey is joined on this record by max essa. having previously released on paper recordings back in 2001 max also played guitar with the infamous, long distance runners. steve & max have delivered 3 beautiful records in the shape of the salon de l herbe series. this ep offers up everything good that is disco from the up tempo 1974 a side to the spaced out vibes of 1988. if that wasnt enough this 12inch release is finished off with a 3 rd track 1981 on the cosmic/balearic tip. the years may become confusing but with live drums, guitars and slick arrangement words cant do these productions justice. more to come from these two with a follow up in the salon de l herbe series dueto be released in june/july 08, exciting stuff!

the congosound ist ein produkt einer der lebendigsten nightlife-metropolen der welt: madrid. da kommt auch carles congost, ein künstler der neuzeit, her. seine musik liegt stilistisch zwischen metro area und balearic. dazu gibt es noch einen bombastischen remix von superpitcher! hoch die tassen.

after his immense debut for spacetalk, south london based kaine delivers the goods again on his eagerly awaited return. on the a side we have profundo, an epic, storming, piece of intricate dancefloor action that builds and builds and builds to devastating effect. to the flip, new speakers picks up where his last spacetalk 12inch left us, a huge follow up to last years acclaimed welcoming idaho. once again on the organic, balearic tip, with soundtracky emotive strings, deep delays and guitar laden stepping beats. this one is sure to be getting plays for years to come.

yam who brings two new productions to super promising new uk label electric minds in his typically polished style. the aside wanna make luv is a pretty message direct from the off. a relentless fusion off synths stabs & vocoder action whilst the 80s electro phunk groove is totally banging & insistent, i think the bottom line is they re saying they want to do it but in a futuristic retro stlyee! the b side buzz reaction is one for all those crazy mid tempo hedonist playboy warehouse parties. perfect to be dropped in your disco ballrooms, full off twisted flute solos, italo vocal chants, afro percussion and one hell of a heavy bottom end. a leftfield balearic bomb is very soon about to drop somewhere in londons eastside!

after unleashing the celebrated bare fist edits on us, the mysterious monsieur gateaux is back with a stunning original production. much is being made of the cosmic revival, and sure enough this does tick all the mid tempo, blissed out balearic boxes, but theres much more to love about dune, with its spacious ways and early 80s european electronic, dubbed out psychedelic vibe, shot through with a little eastern promise. its little wonder its been receiving major props from the bearded elders of sit down djing, off the back of a handful of early copies surfacing in the uk. as if that wasnt enough, the (not so) mysterious phoreski taken over the remix duties here!!!

ajello have released music on many top imprints including an lp for mantra vibes and 12inch releases for relish, moderne and radius. they also did a cover version of lobotomy by n.e.o.n. for the highly acclaimed confuzed disco project released by mantra vibes which celebrated italo disco classics. remix duties on this release are performed by the very excellent reverso 68 aka pete herbert and phil mison. these two guys are great music aficionados as well as top djs and their balearic disco influenced sound has been one of the best things to come out of the uk dance scene over the last couple of years. plays by llorca, rob mello, silver city, ilija rudman, electric press, fab mammarella, harri, makossa & megablast, black affair, baby g

so at last its time for misericord number two and a track we re really proud and excited to be releasing. hot on the heels of al ushers mighty gnanfou ep, mugwump deliver their finest work to date. a 107bpm club monster (for us balearic grandads this is not a contradiction in terms) entitled boutade. an extended intro with marcato strings and timpani builds the drama until a massive bassline drops and the dancefloor gets stupid. on the flip myself, naughty and sasse turn in a chugging prescription esque dub for good measure.

remixes are courtesy of roland dark soldier appel, and norwegian remix master prins thomas in his amazing balearic disco way. welcome to an exciting and innovative artist for 2008.

aeroplane is a project by belgians vito de luca & dj stephen from dirty dancing and make up club fame. their first twelve titled aeroplane was played by lindstrom & prins thomas, mylo, laurent garnier and pete herbert amongst others, and created an enormous buzz amongst the whole balearic fanclub. we are very proud to be able to present you their follow up pacific air race, that will certainly receive the same warm round of applause. check it out!!

this third release is finally lead by its mastermind monsieur claude monnet.the pioneer of ethnic and exotic contaminations creates a sort of bridge between ancestral hypnosis of african tribal movements, haitian voodoo incantation and the third millennium dancefloors. a strong cascade of rhythm modulated by a deep and vibrant drum framing a mysterious dialog between an imaginary witch doctor and a persuasive feminine voice and bringing the listener in a state of trance able to carry body and mind away. monnets lesson sounds highly clear, few elements developed with masterful creativity and an unconventional dealing of music composition make at its best the real essence of house music. firmly balearic approach

lurifax aka peter visti is known for his love of balearic music. peter is now signed to eskimo recordings where his first ep >balearic love< was a favourite with djs such as todd terje, prins thomas and superstar dj tiga. following on from >balearic love<, mindless boogie released peter visti edits of >jolene<, which went on to be a balearic smash throughout the summer of 2007 and got playlisted by rob da bank on bbc radio one. now peter adopts a new guise as lurifax to drop his debut release for spacetalk records. >afro beach< takes the listener back to the glory days of the balearic scene of the late 80s and early 90s driven by a mellow groove and some choice recorder and accordion parts with hints of detroit in the bassline. on the flip, >need someone< is trademark peter visti, a languid mid-80s throbber that takes in a wonderful guitar solo. a worthy third release to follow on from the success of spacetalks first two releases from kaine and future beat alliance

balearic funky and soulful vocal house banger by mod feat gee k with a tribal dub infected version by karol xvii & mb valence

incl cube guys & balearic soul remix!! the cube guys remix is the musical equivalent of someone you know and love transforming from a sweet natured, gentle chap to a bit of a lunatic after an eye opening stag do in estonia. tracey ks vocal is still at the forefront of the track, but the floating, relaxed melodies of previous versions of this track have been replaced with sharp, stabbing synths, fiercely driving basslines and maic percussion. make no mistake, this is an epic remix. the breakdown is an absolute hair raiser - techy, dirty and uplifting - and as the vocal kicks back in, anywhere this drops will erupt in a sea of raised hands and stomping feet.

house/ proggy booty. while the rhythm is a catchy balearic house tune with trancehouse and proggy elements, tears is based on the ultravox 80s hit and tends straight to the big floor

this is a debut release of kaoru inoue aka chari chari for mule. he is a one of the most popular japanese house music dj & producer since end of 90s. maybe people still remember that he has joined to the compilation of bossa tres jazz. recently, he is pushing & producing to his roots music like a progressive rock, balearic sound under his own name & aurora (the project with guitarist dsk). these his original two tracks of a side will be reminded the sound of can, holger czukay, klaus schulze, manuel gottsching etc and this releases highlight of todd terje remix is a dreamy long barealic tune!!

ny/nj house producer jihad muhammad, whos previously had releases on west end records, easy street and iwanai out of canada, bestows us with a very special 3 song instrumental ep, 2 of which can be found on this october 2007 sampler. the piano mix of ascension is a gorgeous 124.5 bpm affair with plenty of plucky strings, a deep but not heavy balearic kick & bass drum, bouncy bassline, intermittent synth, & distinctive jazzy piano riffs that ll get the head nodding and hips swaying. expansions is another lovely instrumental but with more of an afro cuban percussive production whle keeping all of the dreamy piano chords and riffs intact and alive. feel the flow and head for the dancefloor…

great tribal/prog fusion with a sample of les mystere de voix bulgare. includes andy allder & nickelle & nessim remix!

smooth balearic edits

sankt göran from gothenburg sweden is the next nordish disco funkateer adopted by the ever growing bear family. the wonderful back2back is a mildly paced, twisting boogie cut drenched in warm, balearic synth cascades while angel babe the thin man crosses a smokin jazz funk bassline with dramatic italo sounding synth fanfares and falls into a electronic boogie break part in the middle. very strong debut!

second limited release on brennan greens chinatown label and its been in demand since a few whites appeared of this a few months back. on one side is a green track (with a little help from daniel wang) with an oriental almost ambient feel, a disco fied tangerine dream in shanghai perhaps? on the flip , studios west side gets given the brennan green update as east side a 10 minute balearic delight with liliting guitar subtly remixed! a great remix package!

spacetalk recordings present their second release, a powerful 3 track ep from veteran producer matthew puffett aka future beat alliance. future beat alliances music is warm and melodic with roots firmly implanted in detroit techno soul. his debut release for spacetalk contains some of his finest work to date, with retro synths and hints of vangelis style soundscapes weaving through the multiple musical layers and dusty vocal samples. breathe in your fear is a cool acidic detroit techno groove that has met with broad appeal amongst the select djs that have had the privilege to hear this deep gem. reverse the negative conjures up late nights at the loft with its haunting violin melody and seductive female sci fi dialogue. the ep is rounded off by the majestic contact yourself which draws from balearic, cosmic and electronica to create a melodic slo mo groove for those after hours sessions

producer holger behn aka h.o.s.h. is back on stil vor talent with his third release and second 12 inch on oliver koletzkis imprint. his latest two tracks are all about house music, while always keeping a strict eye on the dancefloor. it starts with the tech-house anthem >grünanlage<, the name of a sunday afternoon open air in h.o.s.h.s hometown hamburg that he co-organises. the tune features a great clappy snare and some wonderful balearic guitar melodies, which swing over the fast loop. this tune is going to put a smile on your face wherever you are. on the flip there is >blaupause<, which translates as blueprint and is a dreamy housy pusher that keeps grooving with its synthie-stabs and warm bassline. later in the track h.o.s.h. adds an oldschool piano that pushes the track into another state with its drifting melody. it reminds us of so very many great rave moments. however, h.o.s.h. never gives in to the temptation of drifting off into cheese, stays cool at any given moment and keeps the seal of quality for his music very high. >blaupause< is a wonderful summery teaser that never explodes, but keeps imploding! h.o.s.h. once again does what he does best: delivering two wonderfully melodic tracks that fluctuate perfectly between house and techno. just the way we like it
