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!

Business As Usual November 2021: Luke Solomon & Make A Dance

Excited to finally share this first “Artist Spotlight” set with y’all…

This set puts a spotlight on the musician and producer known as @LUXXURY. LUXXURY “makes dance music for adults” and has also released countless edits of classic from the 70s, 80s, and beyond that are both memory evoking and eminently danceable.

I’ve been obsessed with LUXXURY's original modern-day disco, as well as his creative edits, for a few years now — before he got famous on TikTok! — and it’s an honor to be able to share some of this talent with the world. 

This 1-hour mix, covering both originals and edits from LUXXURY's archive, just scratches the surface!

Sutter - OG House Vol 9

Sutter wasnt born with headphones, or knew he was destined to make people dance at age 3, or any other lame cliches to make a bio sound cool. He did take over his mom’s crate of records filled with Michael, Janet, Stevie, and Whitney pretty young. Big love for hip-hop and R&B as a teenager, but once he discovered underground house music, he turned the radio off and never really looked back. 

Detroits underground music scene, iconic Motor Lounge and the first Detroit Electronic Music Festival were the driving forces behind crafting his own parties back in Flint around 2003. He never really set out to be a DJ, but when you find yourself surrounded by DJ’s, you kinda just learn to DJ. Sutter got booked for gigs before he could even mix. His track selection is what kept him in rotation until his hands stopped shaking every time he put a needle on a record in front of people.	By teaming up with the Disfresh event label, and after countless weekends of non-stop music and years of curating events with the crew, he learned to tighten up his mix. He quickly carved out a name in the underground as a go-to house head. His next big move came in 2010 by co-founding their current creative home base [something clever]; with forever homies Jeremy Poling & Nesto. Sutter’s played just about every spot from Detroit to Grand Rapids on lineups with major players like Mark Farina, Colette, Miguel Migs, Fred Everything, DJ Heather, and Justin Martin to drop a few favorites, but the list goes on. He’s worked to bring new and edgy artists to Detroit for thier first time appearances like Lovebirds, Sonny Fodera, Benoit & Sergio, and Eats Everything. Holding residencies at Detroit’s Oslo, Whiskey Disco, and Northern Lights Lounge and playing on festival lineups like Tec-troit, City Lights Music Festival, and Land Of NOD, with national bookings in Chicago, LA, Miami, and Buffalo, Sutter has secured his position as a seasoned vet of the game. 

His sound lives in the pocket between deep and disco to jackin’ party pumpers, and soulful panty-droppers—all bridged by vocal-heavy edits and throwback samples. With a rooted love for old school hip-hop and R&B, his fan favorite annual OG House mix series features classics from his youth reworked into house edits. This influence comes through his sets while guided by one rule—Rule #1: Make the girls dance. Those who know Sutter can recognize his sound within the first few tracks—deep, vibey, unapologetically soulful, and built to quickly fill a dance floor. 

Sutter’s name is synonymous with unforgettable parties—from legendary loft weekend ragers (yes, the turntables really hung from the ceiling) to iconic pajama jam house parties, monthly club series, NYE blowouts, and Movement weekend gatherings that are now part of Detroit’s underground lore. For over a decade, Prelude has signaled the unofficial kickoff to Movement weekend—a guaranteed vibe, expertly curated by the [something clever] trio and Infiltr8:Celebr8’s own Atnarko.

Sutter’s a DJ first, but he’s shadowed John Johr and Hugh Cleal in the studio, and has since built a respectable discography. (Eric) Sutter’s early production has dropped on labels like D-Records, Coyote Cuts, Open Bar, and Deep Hype Sounds. His recent cuts can be found on House Global Alliance (and HGA Deep), World Sound Trax, Stay Up, Evolve, Twists of Time and 4E&A Records tuned up with remixes by heavy hitters Andrew Emil, Henry Navarro, Andrew Macari and more.

These days, you’re just as likely to find Sutter on a boat as behind the decks—but always ready to show up when his name is called, Henny in hand.
