it sounds like you had a smoke with Alfredo, & this is history lesson

What a find ..... Right back to the beginning, brilliant!!

The most beautiful thing is at the time  i discovered this set I went back to Ibiza with a friend of a friend.  Only to discover that he actually made this tune. 🙌🏼 Colin Hudd ❤️

Awl MJ, This is Beautiful....Roots indeed. Thanks for sharing

hypnotone's mix of sheer taft would have fitted this mix perfectly. still excellent though!

Balearic Beat! This is more of a 'day after' mix, downtempo, maybe something that would have happened at Cafe Del Mar, after the night before at Amnesia. Consequently, it's pretty laid back. The mixes aren't too hurried. It's a relaxed, summery one to enjoy with a few San Miguels in the sun.

So what is Balearic Beat?

I've heard that "it's music that makes you feel good, makes you smile, and has no pretensions to be anything else. Big pop records and very underground stuff put together - the Ibiza sound"

Wikipedia says that it "initially was an eclectic blend of DJ-led dance music that emerged in the mid-1980s. It later became the name of a more specific style of electronic dance music that was popular into the mid-1990s. Balearic beat was named for its popularity among European nightclub and beach rave patrons on the Balearic island of Ibiza", "Balearic beat records vary between house or Italo house and deep house influenced sounds and a slower R&B-influenced (under 119bpm) beat consisting of bass drum, snare, and hi-hats (often produced with a Roland TR-909 drum machine) programmed in certain laid-back, swing-beat patterns; plus soul, Latin, African, funk, and dub affectations", "Vocals were sometimes present, but much of the music was instrumental. The sounds of acoustic instruments such as guitar and piano were sometimes incorporated into Balearic beat."

The sleeve notes to the 'Balearic Beats - Vol. 1' album from 1988 reckons that "for joe and the yet uninitiated, balearic is the following and much, much more..... loads of hugs and kisses ... smiley t-shirts and happy faces.... feeling saucey instead of sauced......eating fruits on the dance floor....bashed up converse trainers.....lovely girls with blinding accents.....ice pops.....hedionism....sparklers at the future....indian belly dancers at the shoom....almost everyone finally realising that "only love can conquer hate"....watching the sun set at the café del mar....watching the sun rise on primrose hill....the karma collective....poncho's pony tails and body paint....dj alfredo....new friendships....loads more hugs and kisses....just let this piece of warm anglo-ibizan club culture rush over you, enjoy it mateys!!!"

That kinda sums it up!

Selected and Mixed by Sbeen Around | @sbeenaround

From starting as a dedicated dancer, swinging around the dancefloor at her favorite DJ’s events to dancing behind the decks since 2016, she has always aiming to make listeners & dancers happy.
Far from being bound to one genre with in-house music, Sbeen Around explores the various delicatessen of underground sounds, winging it tune by tune each time spinnin’ around.
Live performances are unpredictable where all her house sides might shine, depending on the vibe & crowd joint! Groove is the feel in every set.
Been spinnin‘ around various clubs in Reykjavik, Iceland. Would love to check out the wider scene of clubs & venues out there that bring together beautiful souls dancing around.

Live At The Social - Underworld After Party

Since the late 90's, Spiritchaser have remained consistent as one of dance music's leading partnerships. They have not only embraced the changing face of the music industry but also played a part in the shaping of modern house music with their unique style and combination of song and sound.

In 2005, their spiritual home Guess Records was launched and a new chapter was underway. Sister label to the successful Duffnote and One51 imprints, Guess provided a new platform for them to fine-tune their musical aspirations and the Spiritchaser sound. Their debut album "1440" introduced the beginnings of a collaboration with vocalist Emily Cook and Daniel Jones (Est8) which in 2011, took South Africa by storm with the smash hit "These Tears" topping the charts for 9 weeks and continued for some 38 weeks in the Media Guide top 10. This partnership further resulted in the album "Tears in the rain" which was released in South Africa in 2012. 

"Chronos" encapsulates the years passed and present and with a combination of some old favourites, exclusive new material, un-released mixes and re-edits giving the concept of a "best of" album a real twist. 

"It's been almost 14 years since we lay the first note down on our first project and what a journey it's been so far. The way we create and consume music has changed dramatically over the last few years and so to be here showcasing some of our chosen moments to date, is down to you guys and the industry that has provided the opportunities for us. We look forward to the next stage of our continuing journey. We thank you for your love and support"
