Back to the Balearic!!

It's been a while since I've posted some Balearic beats. What is Balearic? In my mind Balearic is the freedom to play anything, the best nights were those when DJs dropped records which were not dance records, but it was those records which you remembered and were the highlight of your night. Tracks by Edie Brickell, Carly Simon, Chris Rea, REM, Fleetwood Mac, Bruce Hornsby all had nothing to do with dance music but they were quality tracks which dropped at the right time felt so perfectly right. That in my mind is true Balearic having the freedom of expression to play all sorts of difference music during DJ sets ,dropping in some obscure stuff which changes the tempo and atmosphere. Of course most of these tracks had their origin back in 1986 and 1987 and the Balearic tag was used to describe these and also the tracks coming out of the Ibiza scene, that were a slower tempo but had this wonderful vibe. This one goes out to JP - who I know loves the Balearic vibe!! A perfect Balearic tune which gives a fantastic chilled yet upbeat vibe. Check out those cockerels and car horns.
