Balearic beat, também conhecido como Balearic house, ou simplesmente Balearic, inicialmente é uma mistura eclética de música de dança liderada por DJs que surgiu em meados da década de 1980.^[1]^[2] Mais tarde, tornou-se o nome de um estilo mais específico de música eletrônica de dança que foi popular em meados da década de 1990. Batalha de Baleares foi nomeada por sua popularidade entre a discotecas europeias e patronos de praias rave na ilha de Ibiza, um destino turístico popular. Algumas compilações de dance music se referiam a ele como "o som de Ibiza", embora muitas outras formas mais agressivas e animadas de dance music pudessem ser ouvidas na ilha.^[3]

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 subgenres which followed in its wake, for a short time at least, kept dancefloors moving to a range of grooves."

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."
