Various Artists  - Balearica 19

Balearica’s latest installation brings another top-quality selection of hard-to-find slo-mo gems. Includes the hugely in-demand instrumental version of French pop legend Plastic Bertrand’s hypnotic slice of sleazy electronic disco ‘Stop Ou Encore’, only ever available on an uber-rare 1982 12'' from US label Sugarscoop and massive on Italy’s Cosmic scene as well as in Chicago where it was championed by legendary DJ Ron Hardy. Also features the 12'' long cut of ‘Dancing To Forget’ from Romie Singh, an impossible-to-find chugger from 1986 with hauntingly beautiful vocals, dreamy tablas and a great reggae-pop groove. Flip over for Brazilian boogie classic ‘Estrelar’, a laid-back summery dancer from the phenomenally talented Marcos Valle followed by the sought-after floor-friendly Bumpy mix of Joanna Laws’ captivating ethereal ‘First Time Ever’.
