They are really passionate about connecting the dots between the roots of Balearic and the modern interpretation of the sound, and in trying to educate audiences on the beauty of this musical approach in an era when everything is getting harder, faster and shorter… Their manifesto: Piano house. ‘80s pop dubs and remixes. Italo, kwaito, Latin and other global flavours that make you feel like you’re on holiday somewhere by the sea. Sensual sounds. Organic instrumentation rubbing up against electronic textures. Acid house vocals. Yacht rock. Madchester grooves. Sunsetters and sunrisers. Carefully-timed curveballs. Punk-funk. Euphoric freestyle. The dying embers of disco. Street soul. Shifting BPMs. Dubby basslines. Jazz-funk guitar licks. Slick boogie. Dreamhouse. Proto-trance. A sense of freedom, optimism and joy. A break from endless builds and drops. Stuff that makes you dance but isn’t ‘dance music’. A good song is a good song is a good song. Joining the dots between the original Balearic sounds and modern sounds that work alongside them.
