I don't know what it is with this kind of music, but it makes me feel so free :D. It has the rhytm of a train combined with the smooth melodies of ambient music. It just takes me and I can listen to it for hours and hours. It gives me a balearic feeling and I feel like flying when my body moves on the rhythm.

The only problem: I don't know where to get more of this stuff... The label Circus Company has got some great tracks, but that's it. The rest of the labels in my Beatport collection are way too housy/techy or way too prog. :(. I want to ask where I can find more of this music (labels/artists/tracks)? It doesn't matter for me if it's brand new or some years old. It's just about the balearic vibe. Many thanks.

IN SEARCH OF BALEARIC [URL="http://www.djhistory.com/features/in-search-of-balearic"]http://www.djhistory.com/features/in-search-of-balearic [/URL]

[QUOTE]I canvassed opinion on some message boards as to what Balearic really means: “Harvey playing Easy Lover in the a.m. at New Hard Left,” said one; “Hearing Donna Summer’s State of Independence on a pill for the first time,” countered another; “Love of music for its own sake, free of puritanical bias and entrenched prejudice, free of marketing pigeonholes…” But this put it more succinctly and more ludicrously than anyone else: “It’s a state of mind,” wrote Barry Devan. “It’s a group of islands. It’s sand in your foreskin but not caring. It’s Clark’s comfy shoes. It’s corduroy. It’s a lazy place. It’s warm. It’s Wellington boots. It’s knowledge. It’s Moonboots. It’s carpet not laminate. It’s Van Halen not Europe. It’s council not Hilton. It’s Jason Boardman. It’s the M10. It’s borrowing not buying. It’s me, it’s you, it’s everybody. It’s bollocks. It’s great.” Absurd, but true.[/QUOTE][URL="http://www.djhistory.com/features/in-search-of-balearic"]

Also thanks for the article sbando, it looks really interesting :).

[quote]It was also Fung who introduced them to ecstasy.
“I’d give them all one at the bar. I didn’t want to say too much, I just said, ‘Try this, it don’t do too much to you!’ Then we went to Amnesia. Fucking hell! We was all off on one here. Danny Rampling skipping round the room and jumping speakers. Johnny was sitting in a speaker. Paul was like ‘I can’t fucking believe this, it’s changed since I last been here!’ Chaos.” [/quote]

Also found this one today on Boe Records. Pretty nice vibe for 2011 ^^
