Expansive soundscapes c/o Isolde Lasoen, who I today found out is a Belgian drummer with a keen ear for melody.

I don't know if this 90s trippy sound is more relevant now than it has been in a long time, or if it's just my own preferences that make me feel something truly massive with this kind of sound at the moment.

There's definitely a lot more music inspired by the early 90s, specifically '89-92 which I still think was an incredible, unsurpassed time for Ibiza or chillout inspired music. In the UK, you also had the crossover with dub, indie and the Soul II Soul beat, which you can hear in the early tunes.
In more recent years, I think it's also gone from being the preserve of a few balearic DJs and now has a much wider audience. Interesting how many Australians are making it.

That era's productions are super interesting sound-wise. I’m especially into the echo effects and acid sounds in that context.
I’ve noticed the same – there’s a surprising amount of quality stuff coming out of there lately. Any idea why so many Aussies are doing so well with this sound right now?

It's a good question. I used to live with some Aussies in London 20 years ago and they were mainly into trance and hard house but society has changed in cooler places like Melbourne. There's a lot more disco, house and chillout these days, and I guess some people were inspired by the success of Tornado Wallace, Confidence Man, Mildlife and Late Nite Tuff Guy. I would love to pay a visit one day if I could get the money together for a 3 week tour.

I think I'm satisfied this can go on this thread rather than the Tracks for 2025?

I don't bother with any of the other music threads on here now. I would rather sever my limbs than listen to "melodic techno" or "Ibiza classics" or big room anthems and I don't want to have to sift through them either. Whereas I treat this thread as a catch-all for pretty much anything I like, but obviously everyone will approach it differently.

From the balearic backstreets of downtown Brooklyn. Fundido's first physical release is out. Not sure about their take on Cathy Dennis but the rest are totally up my street. Emotional Jungle has been around for ages. absolute beast of a party tune
