Not only is Steve Blood (aka Bad Dads Club) a flaming nice bloke, but he's also an incredibly talented songwriter and remixer.
Of the new Balearica remix he told hiapop Blog: "My connection with the white Island began way back in June 1987 with a £79 Get Away from the Election Special to Ibiza. The clubs were roofless, George Michael was the big star on the Island, and if you walked through the old town you were likely to hear Mel and Kim's Respectable, the Blow Monkey's Doesn't Have to Be this way, and, of course, George's Faith. In the clubs, house music was starting to dominate and Alfredo was doing his thing at the Cafe Del Mar with his eclectic Balearic style.
Nearly 30 years later, in June this year, on a BA city flyer to Ibiza, I started to write a piece of piano-based house music with the Island in mind. As summer winds down, memories of beautiful sunrises, afternoons on the beach and two nights in Pacha have inspired Balearica. Long-time collaborator, AudioTrip, has sharpened the beats and swapped out the piano for cool synths and the result is a smooth but powerful piece of house music and the purest electronic release yet on Bad Dads Club. The piano-based balearic-style original mix will be released in the Autumn."
