While working on this music I accidentally bumped into some genres, mixing elements and solutions from distant musical styles. According to Dj and music expert Fabio De Luca, whom I trust, <em>Round Robin<\/em> exactly captures the spirit of Balearic music, which is really nice to know. Everything here is played by hand including the percussion tracks, which are long loops.
