Righto, here's the second part of what I intend to be a healthy and long-lived Balearic series.

For those of you who may be tuning in at this point and wonder what on earth 'Balearic' means, it's easier for me to just refer you to the 'www.djhistory.com/features/in-search-of-balearic' article that I referred to in the blurb of my Balearic Aesthetic 01 set. If you haven't read it, it's worth a go, because it is excellent.

Is this just a convenient way of indulging some ambition to cobble any old thing together and attempt to make it seem credible by giving it that 'Balearic' tag? Maybe, but not really... though I must admit that there has been a degree of expedience in my approach to both of the sets in this series thus far - there just isn't that much music out there at these low tempos and with this sort of 'Meditterranean' feel. I've tried to construct something that works and feels right, although with a limited set of tracks to choose from.

Which is pretty much situation that the early Ibiza dj's found themselves in. As Jose Padilla states in the djhistory article, “I think it was because we were brought up like that, but also there was not much choice. Now you can specialise in Detroit techno or deep house or whatever, then you had to play with what you had. We had to play so many hours that we have to play different tracks to make the session happen."

Why is any of this worthy of attention? Because it's fun, and we need fun. Some of you may remember the overly serious attitude and approach that characterised the majority of music in the 1980's (Gary K will challenge that but I don't care). Towards the end of that decade the Ibiza dj's delivered a refreshing sense of fun to a boozed up, drugged up and sexed up (read 'relaxed') holiday crowd, some of whom were inspired enough to take it home with them after the hangover had disappeared. In the words of Bill Brewster "The arrival of the Balearic beat, reinforced by the unstoppable force of acid house (more on that later - MT), altered the direction of British clubbing and, indeed, British youth culture, for the next 15 years. But, while it was Balearic that was the launching pad, the idea of playing eclectic sets in the same manner as Alfredo soon waned as the new house regime began."

Anyway, there's a few twists and surprises here. Go with the flow and don't get too serious about it. You can't possibly chin-stroke to a set that includes The Cure, deep Detroit techno, south London hip-hop, Tears For Fears samples, Martin Luther King samples, dub piano(!), trip hop, Chrissie Hynde, an abstract harmonium track and, erm, Simply Red.

As a point of interest, I have realised that in a kind of cool way this seems to have arranged itself into three 'mini sets' of 80's and 90's Balearic classics interspersed with more contemporary tracks (refer to tracks 7-10 and 12-14 with the last three tracks being straight out of 1989, right at the 'height' of things).

Have fun.
