La Balearic beat (ou Balearic house) est un genre fusion de musique dance ayant initialement émergé au milieu des années 1980^[1]^,^[2]. Il est devenu plus tard le nom d'un style de musique électronique qui a été populaire dans le milieu des années 1990. La Balearic house est nommée pour sa popularité parmi les boîtes de nuit européennes mais également pour les raves de plage aux Baléares sur l'île d'Ibiza, une destination touristique populaire chez les jeunes britanniques^[3]. Certaines compilations de musique de dance proviennent de la Balearic house.

"The musics which fed into acid house and the developing culture were various too; the heterogeneous sounds of the 'Balearic beat' which helped define it did not constitute a discrete musical genre, but an unholy mix of, among other things, hip hop, house, Mediterranean pop and indie rock. DJs' playlists temporarily situated highly disparate musics beside one another. Musical miscegenation reunited several of the dance forms that had emerged after disco, mixing American and European dance musics. Though house music was the dominant mode, the rapid proliferation of styles and sub-genres which followed in its wake, for a short time at least, kept dancefloors moving to a range of grooves."

"It was in the upmarket clubs of Ibiza : Pacha, Amnesia, Glory's and Manhattans, that Balearic beat was created. DJ's would mix musical forms as diverse as Public Enemy and The Woodentops, to create that eclectic, highly danceable, don't care holiday feel."
