Patter Playlist Special — Loewe Paula’s Ibiza

Ibiza’s Balearic music scene is not easily defined. There isn’t a strict rule of tempo to this varied genre, and speaking to our Balearic partisans, it tends to resonate as personal — meaning something to everyone. Its unifying force comes when tracks are pieced together, it’s then that an indescribable sound occurs, evoking a feeling of freedom and joy.

The Balearic scene formed in the late-70’s from the original hippies of Ibiza. The mood is grounded in a carefree spirit that values avant-garde style, social acceptance whatever your sexuality or race, togetherness, dancing and sunsets. Balearic beats came of age in institutions like Cafe del Mar and the Ku Club. Our exploration into the female artists of this genre has formed a group of lively tracks likely to inflict instant bodily movement! From Brenda ‘Beach Ball’ Ray and Nancy Noise to Saint Etienne and Carly Simon — it’s just the tonic for right now. Thanks for the inspiration Loewe.
