Legowelt - U can fly away from the hood (house, 2011)

Masterpost of playlists I've made. Arranging good songs or things with some shared nebulous personally meaningful quality into a new cohesive whole is a good thing.

bunch of tracks spanning classic early bossa nova up to 70s samba rock/funk/soul, possibly a few early 80s. appoaching 13 hrs all killer no filler

(what is balearic?) Balearic for me starts with trying to figure out the balearic section of the reviews pages in mixmag as a norwegian teenager in the late 90s. Not a genre, more of a feeling, and a history going back to the Balearic islands in the 80s. Anything with the right feeling could be balearic, but the evolution from early electronic dance/italo to newer house interacting with other types of mainly european music with a balearic feel is the concept here. Custom order.

This goes for the melodic vein found in late 60s to mid 70s giallo/genre Morricone soundtracks more often than not featuring Edda Dell'Orso singing. Morricone is legendary of course but somehow still feels underrated to me. Some compilations focus on this part of his music but this playlist does it better.

80s boogie mix. made for shuffling. playlist that had to be.

balearic virus. something going on with these songs. pop songs that don't pop. custom order.

Late 80s early 90s party rap music

Inner City Life by Goldie - the sound, the vibe and that point in time. The introduction of Goldie worldwide was pretty much "this is a new form of music". This playlist follows that train of thought for a little while.

Early 90's breakbeat rave. Think early Prodigy, Genaside II et.al. Too bad Spotify has so many holes with this kind of music.

short and sweet playlist with Tracey Thorn in various varied guises and collaborations.

Eurodance dominated the charts for a while in 90s Europe, where it was just "dance". Even if new manufactured "blonde female singer and black male rapper" duos seemingly popped up every other week from central Europe somewhere, the borders delineating it from more credible dance music weren't as rigid as it could seem.

Svensktopp refers to a type of music: bands playing accessible dancing music in community centers and gallas with matching coloured sequined suits. Not too fond of that. But Svensktopp also refers to a swedish radio chart running since the 60s. Sweden's had extraordinary success with pop running back to ABBA in the 70s. Living in the next country over it's kind of puzzling but also interesting. So a personal slant on swedish popular music. Custom order.

Norwegian pop music was long suffering from a younger sibling syndrome in the shadow of swedish pop supremacy (ABBA, Ace of Base, Robyn et al.) but evidently stopped identifying as such, leaving its sibling in the dust some time in the last 15 years. Condensing a truthful, comprehensive, enjoyable playlist is now a possibility.
