The very nature of this subject means that all Blog Posts are relevant to the creation, building and foundation of what today is globally sanctioned as the Rave Scene. The word Rave actually predates the 1980s, some believe it was brought to the UK by members of the West Indian community in the 1950s. So for us this term had no connection to what was formulating in Europe. The1950smoonin (16 January 2018). "The Origins of British Dance Music, Rave & Club Culture: Part 1". Steemit .

Situations, priorities shift at such a clip. I’ve got everything crossed that if, with your help, this booklet is a success, that we might see a Part 2, a Part 3, maybe even that bespoke coffee table edition. Man, I`d love that, I really would. But for now I’m more than chuffed that these stories are out there, off my hard-drive, for others to see. Like “the beat” itself this tale is all about context – about circumstance, and passion. For none of the people interviewed was DJing simply a job.

Tears for Fears

The style of Balearic beat is described by its inventors, as opposed to its UK followers, as the ability for the DJ to play across a broad range of styles, from early minimal New Beat to the first extended remixes of pop-songs, making Balearic DJ sets those that tend to have the sharpest turns of musical direction. While the public outside Ibiza generally describes Balearic beat as a music style, the island based community regard Balearic beat as a non-style or a healthy disrespect to style conformity and a challenge to the norm. It's a freestyle expression that seamlessly binds sporadic vinyl inspiration through technical flair on the turntables. Today, due to stylistic segregation in electronic dance music, few promoters and DJs dare to stretch the spectrum of styles that far in fear of losing identity and clients. DJ Alfredo still heralds the most diversity among Ibiza DJs, but generally the approach to mixing as well as the terminology, have been swallowed up by the Chillout scene. the birth of balearic". 29 May 2014.
