In the realm of Balearic beat, the vinyl notes waver between the echoes of house and Italo house, embracing the mellow sway of deep house. A languid R&B-infused beat, clocking in below 119bpm, sets the rhythm, composed of the essential trio: bass drum, snare, and hi-hats, often choreographed by the Roland TR-909 drum machine. These beats unfold in a laid-back dance, a rhythmic tapestry woven with the soulful threads of Latin, African, Funk, and Dub influences. Balearic beat borrows production techniques from its dance music contemporaries, an eclectic fusion popular in its heyday.

Vocals, though intermittent, share the stage with instrumental compositions, where acoustic instruments like guitars and pianos occasionally join the melodic conversation. Yet, tethered to a specific percussion pattern that eventually fell out of favor, the once-prominent Balearic beat gracefully bowed out, its repertoire assimilated into the broader realms of "chill out" and "downtempo" genres.

The architects of Balearic beat, in contrast to their UK disciples, define its essence as the DJ's ability to traverse a vast sonic landscape, navigating from the early minimalism of New Beat to the pioneering extended remixes of pop anthems. Balearic DJ sets are a testament to the art of musical divergence, marked by sharp turns in direction. Beyond Ibiza's shores, the general perception labels Balearic beat as a distinct music style. However, within the island's community, it is a rebellion against conformity, an embrace of non-style—a challenge to the norm. It embodies a freestyle expression seamlessly binding sporadic vinyl inspirations through technical finesse on the turntables.

In the present electronic dance music landscape, where stylistic boundaries reign supreme, only a handful of promoters and DJs dare to stretch the spectrum of styles as far as Balearic beat once did, fearing the loss of identity and clientele. DJ Alfredo remains a torchbearer of diversity among Ibiza DJs, but the art of mixing and the terminology that once defined Balearic beat have largely been absorbed by the Chillout scene.

The Sound of Midnight Riot: Street Sounds 002 Jaegerossa Feat Adam Nova

It was an honour to stand in for Yorkee on his legendary Houseology show on NDC Radio over Easter. I asked my old friend Alex McKenzie to join me for the live broadcast, and we played a wicked back-to-back session for two hours. It's been a long time since I played house, and I really enjoyed the change from funk, soul and disco ;-)
