Chris will be spinning his chilled & eclectic 'Balearic Beats' at Surbiton's Rubicon Bar on Saturday 27th June from 8pm onwards.

Balearic beat is the eclectic style of DJing pioneered in Ibiza in the late 1980’s by Alfredo, the resident DJ at the Amnesia club. The music at Amnesia didn't need to be fast to be danceable (most Balearic classics hover around 110bpm). Familiar songs were put into a fresh context meaning they shed whatever unfashionable associations they may have had.
A new strain of slower paced dance music (referred to as ‘New Balearic’, ‘New Disco’, ‘Cosmic’) emanating from places such as Norway & Belgium is partly responsible for the rebirth of the Balearic sound. A certain style of pop record and underground stuff put together became, and remains, the defining characteristic.
Balearic is perhaps a more sophisticated & mature sound compared to that of full-on dance music, making it very well suited both to dance to in clubs, as well as listen to in bars and at home.
