Traveling: Ibiza

It's August. The sun is totally shining, nights are warm and long. Time to dance on the sand, chillout till dawn or watch the sunset with the people you love. There's no place in the world that recalls this kind of atmospheres as Ibiza. A little, beautiful island in the spanish Mediterraneo that has become homeland for the best dance music in the world. Want to taste it and take it home?
Here we go:


Deep down to the roots of the Ibiza's groove. This compilation comes from the past but it's so extremely fresh and contemporary. Lacks just the sea taste. The rest is all here.


Jumping to 2009, this album is a good example of the most "typical" Ibiza spirit: two dj's (one from London one from Ibiza) working together to create this peculiar, irresistible trance sound that has become the hallmark of Ibiza night parties.


Another sound, different vibes, still totally fascinating. French roots, spanish inspiration. Much more electronic and rhythm mixed with the right amount of coolness and chillout. Maybe it's rage, but of the nice ones.


Ibiza's not only trance and chillout and smooth athmospheres. There are lots of music movements under the island sun. And this is an example of the spanish rap wave that goes around por allà.

In Bonny's soul

This album is surely a great finding. Miles Bonny has a talen that can't pass unnoticed. There's not a single tune in this work that I didn't like, and most of them are definetely excellent. There's not much more to say when you find the real music, and the real soul. Just listen to it and, if you fall in love with Miles notes, you may want to take the time to check the previous albums.
