Florida electronic pop and tropical house duo SALTY have officially returned to the release radar with their sun-soaked new single, “Ibiza Skies.” The track features veteran DJ/producer Lee Kalt and classically-trained vocalist Xandra and is the radiant lead single for their upcoming sophomore EP, Starfish, out January 27, 2027. It’s very much in the funky house, disko, and nu-disco corner of the house music spectrum and nails the easy-breezy vibe of a coastal golden hour. Whereas the self-produced track eschews peak-time nightclub intensity for a feel-good, uplifting Balearic groove instead of aggressive drops, making it a seamless soundtrack for endless summer days and open ocean breezes.
The Perfect Sonic Balance
From the first moment, the rich harmonic layering and compelling rhythmic groove create an inviting, elevated atmosphere, immediately transporting the listener to a seaside terrace. The project is loaded with bright instrumentation, thick basslines, and sleek, polished arrangements that blend together seamlessly to create a constant, engaging momentum. Lee Kalt comes with deep musical pedigree, going back to the late 1990s Ibiza beach scene, and Xandra brings her powerhouse technique as an accomplished operatic mezzo-soprano who has performed leading roles in Carmen and Madama Butterfly with Wolf Trap Opera and Santa Fe Opera. This fascinating duality provides an outstanding production balance, a high-level creative vision, and a refined sonic identity that holds your attention from track to track, proving that club energy and timeless vocal mastery can coexist beautifully.
Besides the usual streaming playlists, SALTY has built a fierce live reputation in the luxury destination hospitality markets from the Hamptons to Miami to Palm Beach. Their unique ability to take an environment from a relaxed conversation to a dance-ready room has earned them elite corporate bookings for global brands such as Porsche, IBM, Tesla, and Mastercard. “Ibiza Skies” is a perfect way to kick off a heavy fall release calendar for the duo, cementing SALTY as one of the premier electronic projects that knows exactly how to give an entire evening one cohesive musical temperature. It’s flawless craftsmanship, lush musicality, and striking execution.
