About Balearic Beat
The term Balearic refers to a chain of islands off the coast of Spain, home to Ibiza, one of the dance capitals of the modern world.

Specifically, Balearic music has come to represent a dancefloor influenced sound befitting the warm sunrise of a Mediterranean beach. Read more on Last.fm.
