-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Balearic spirit is a willingness to try anything in the service of your
dancefloor. Forget music snobbery, an artists' credibility is irrelevant.
Forget the division of different genres, and the obsession with newness,
you can even sometimes ignore the correct speed of a record.
The established rules of DJing need not apply. All that matters is the power
and beauty of each song in the context you place it.
Named after the Mediterranean archipelago which contains Ibiza, and originally
referring to the music of Ibiza's DJ Alfredo, 'Balearic' implies a musical
openness, an anything-is-possible attitude. It was often born of necessity -
the need to stretch a limited number o records to fill long summer nights -
but it taught an important lesson to any DJ who treated music with too much
reverence.

Balearic is 'Flesh' by A Split Second played at the wrong speed to turn it from
gothic industrial to deep proto-house; it's the indie guitar mash of
The Woodentops energising glamorous queens in the open air at Amnesia;
or trippy Klaus Schulze records washing over kids zonked out on heroin by the
side of a gorgeous Italian lake. Balearic invokes the holiday defencelessness
you get from warm sand between your toes and a horizon of sparkling waves.
Importantly, Balearic is an attitude to music more than a specific
style or location. Or, as dance music writer Frank Tope quipped:
'It's pop music that sounds good on pills.'
