good to see Backbeat in there too, although this was the mix for me

Just stumbled across this LP from last year from a bunch of neo-soulsters from Taiwan and reckon this Brazilian vibes opening track fits the bill.

Back in the day South East Asian music didn’t crossover to the West and would never have got a spin in Ibiza (happy to be proved wrong - any tunes anyone?)

Balearic trivia………I used to work in a cafe in Bath, and Curt Smith’s Mum & Granny used to come in. Never saw him or Roland in there though, miserable swines :wink:

Sounds like a cover version. I am guessing they couldn’t license the New Musik version or something like that.

Not the Bollywood goes dub track I posted in the Balearic Reggae thread but a euphoric pop banger off the same soundtrack. In my mind would sound nice pitched down, but my head and reality don’t always match up.

The Arch Drude definitely had some Balearic moments…this being one of them, ably assisted by Hugo Nicholson

Dope in the Age of Innocence is an absolutely amazing read. Just so good!

So I was just listening to a super Sonido Tupinamba mix from the last year or so and this track is on there. Brazilian release from 2018 I think.

Just sublime.

Only just heard this, don’t think it’s on the thread. It’s already become top tier Balearic for me. Shouty, nonsense lyrics, sleazy atmosphere, what’s not to love?

I’ve been trying to track this book down for a few years. Like a good record, I feel like it will be worth the while when I finally get it
