Ibiza is still considered by some to have its own "sound", however, including the music of Jens Gad, co-creator of Enigma, and his new chillout-world-influenced hybrid project, Achillea, recorded in his studio in the hills overlooking Ibiza. [43] Compilations such as Global Lounge Sessions: The Balearic Sound of Ibiza, released in 2002, and Sequoia Groove's Buddha-Lounge series, continue to be released. [44] These generally feature house music and certain downtempo selections, not the old style of Balearic beat, per se. Some prefer to use the term Balearic more generally, however, to apply to all of these styles. [45] See also [ edit ] Laverne, Lauren (23 August 2018). "DJ Nancy Noise on her time in Ibiza".

Track listing

The style of Balearic beat is described by its inventors, as opposed to its UK followers, as the ability for the DJ to play across a broad range of styles, from early minimal New Beat to the first extended remixes of pop-songs, making Balearic DJ sets those that tend to have the sharpest turns of musical direction. While the public outside Ibiza generally describes Balearic beat as a music style, the island based community regard Balearic beat as a non-style or a healthy disrespect to style conformity and a challenge to the norm. It's a freestyle expression that seamlessly binds sporadic vinyl inspiration through technical flair on the turntables. Today, due to stylistic segregation in electronic dance music, few promoters and DJs dare to stretch the spectrum of styles that far in fear of losing identity and clients. DJ Alfredo still heralds the most diversity among Ibiza DJs, but generally the approach to mixing as well as the terminology, have been swallowed up by the Chillout scene.

"It was in the upmarket clubs of Ibiza: Pacha, Amnesia, Glory's and Manhattans, that Balearic beat was created. DJ's would mix musical forms as diverse as Public Enemy and The Woodentops, to create that eclectic, highly danceable, don't care holiday feel."

Situations, priorities shift at such a clip. I’ve got everything crossed that if, with your help, this booklet is a success, that we might see a Part 2, a Part 3, maybe even that bespoke coffee table edition. Man, I`d love that, I really would. But for now I’m more than chuffed that these stories are out there, off my hard-drive, for others to see. Like “the beat” itself this tale is all about context – about circumstance, and passion. For none of the people interviewed was DJing simply a job. Shulman, Alon (2 May 2019). The Second Summer of Love: How Dance Music Took Over the World. Kings Road Publishing. p.163.
