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. The musical influence originates in the late 80s, when English DJs like Danny Rampling began to vacation in Ibiza, where the club scene ends with massive open-air parties on the beach at Cafe del Mar. Specifically, Balearic music has come to represent a dancefloor influenced sound befitting the warm sunrise of a mediterranean beach.

The original balearic vibe: "Snappiness" by BBG feat. Dina Taylor, "Barefoot in the Head" by A Man Called Adam, "Sueno Latino" by Sueno Latino, and anything by Jose Padilla.
