luv309 Or Is It

Or Is It?

the balearic sound is hard to describe because it’s everything and nothing; it’s whatever you want it to be. balearic beat was birthed in Ibiza during the mid-eighties for well off vacationing party goers from all over the globe to lose their minds to as the sun rose on the beach. so it tends to be happy, eclectic, international, chill, danceable grooves full of positive vibes. it’s also kinda cheesy… or is it?

luv303 Drop Acid Not Bombs

Drop Acid Not Bombs

in 1982 a simple bass synthesizer with built-in sequencer called the Roland TB-303 Bass Line was released to the public. initially marketed to guitarists as bass line accompaniment for solo practice. only 10,000 units were manufactured. in the mid to late 80s a new wave of pioneering dance music producers discovered that by stressing and finessing the 303 a new world of groovy sound was opened up to them; resulting in the creation of acid house and the future of dance music. this is acid.
