Florida-based duo Lee Kalt and Xandra embrace funky house and nu-disco with a warm, feel-good groove made for endless summer.
Florida-based musical duo SALTY have released their new single, “Ibiza Skies,” the first track from their upcoming sophomore EP, Starfish. Blending funky house, disco and nu-disco with their signature beach-inspired sound, the duo deliver a laid-back dance track built around warm grooves, shimmering melodies and the relaxed energy of a summer evening by the sea.
“Ibiza Skies” captures the feeling of watching the sun set over the coast, when the day slows down and the atmosphere shifts into something more relaxed. Rather than chasing the intensity of a peak-time club track, SALTY focus on creating a smooth, uplifting sound that feels just as natural on a beach as it does on a dance floor. Its Balearic influence, easy rhythm and sun-soaked production make it a natural fit for long afternoons, ocean breezes and nights that stretch into the early hours.
The single also signals a fresh step in SALTY’s musical direction. While the duo remain connected to the tropical grooves and coastal atmosphere that have shaped their identity, “Ibiza Skies” sees them move further into funky house and nu-disco. The result is a sound that brings together the movement of dance music and the relaxed feeling of life by the water.
Made up of Lee Kalt and Xandra, SALTY create music influenced by sun, water, movement and memory. Their sound moves between dance, reggae, yacht rock, disco and pop, with a focus on groove, live vocals and carefully shaped arrangements. Drawing on their live performance experience, the duo aim to bring warmth and a sense of human connection to their recordings, creating music that feels inviting without losing its musical detail.
That approach has taken SALTY into a range of live settings, from waterfront entertainment and destination events to corporate performances. Their performance history includes appearances connected with brands such as IBM, Tesla and Mastercard, reflecting their ability to create an atmosphere that suits different audiences and occasions.
“Ibiza Skies” is the beginning of a wider run of releases leading up to Starfish. SALTY’s release schedule includes “Center of My Heart,” arriving August 14, followed by “Moonshine” on September 3, with further singles planned through the fall. The full EP is scheduled for release on January 27, 2027.
With “Ibiza Skies,” SALTY continue to develop a sound that sits between the dance floor and the shoreline. It is music made to move to, unwind with and return to, bringing together the easy rhythm of summer and the lasting appeal of a good groove.
“Ibiza Skies” is out now on all major streaming platforms.
