the new episode 2.21 of the balearica series is an imaginary soundtrack to a woman’s journey. in the morning, while the city is in the middle of a lockdown, hit by the coronavirus pandemic, she goes out without a precise destination. her desire leads her to the sea and listening induces her to breathe new air, rediscover the color of the sky and walk barefoot on the sand. she won’t meet anyone along the way. hers is an escape from reality, without thoughts and without bars, while the salty breeze caresses her skin. music is her only accomplice.

balearica 2.16 / the winter selection

yes, i did it again... after receiving a good, warm feedback with my last 'balearica 2.14', i decided to continue my journey into the depth of the balearic sound. 'balearica 2.16' was aimed to be released on vinyl from the start. it is fully based on a live dj-set i played and recorded at 'the bistrò' www.bistrovicenza.it in vicenza (italy) on friday 18 december 2015. the mood is relaxed. it really makes you feel like you could listen and watch the winter clouds pass by while savouring the thought that the summer will soon come back. enjoy it as it flows
