Bargrooves Ibiza Classics captures all the magic of Balearic house music with an uncompromising selection of some of the greatest records ever to grace the dancefloors of Ibiza.
The annual Ibiza season lasts for well over four months every year and it is over the hundreds of parties that take place each summer that a classic record is born and where crossover hits are nurtured.
Bargrooves Ibiza Classics is a collection of those seminal house moments, a retrospective of a decade’s worth of blissful Ibiza records that have been elevated to the position of all-time classic. These are the records that you cannot escape when you visit the White Isle, the ones that define a club, party or entire season, often breaking the island boundaries and becoming one of the records of the year across the world.
Each season produces its own finest and from ‘Finally’ to ‘Hey Hey’ by way of ‘Most Precious Love’, ‘The Cure & The Cause’ or ‘It’s Yours’, the classic vocal anthems from some of the greatest production names of the last decade and more are featured.
But Ibiza is not just about the big room vocal sound, ‘Balearic’ music has always had its diverse and deeper side and its perfectly summed up by records such as ‘Guitarra G’, Osunlade’s ‘Envision’, DJ Gregory’s ‘Tropical Soundclash’, Julien Jabre’s ‘Swimming Places’ or the Guti Remix of last year’s anthem ‘The Trumpeter’ from Ray Foxx.
With sunset being such an important part of the island experience, the downtempo, more chilled house sound of Danism’s ‘Love The Way’ (Crazy P Remix), Kaine’s ‘Love Saves The Day’ and The Normalites’ ‘The Sun Rising’ is the perfect way to round of any set of Ibiza Classics.
With such a fine selection of classic Bargrooves, for Bargrooves’ A&R selector, Andy Daniell, it’s more a challenge of what to leave out than what to include. “Having such a strong catalogue to choose from means that these really are some of the best Ibiza records ever made” says Daniell of his selection. “I have some incredible memories of hearing these tracks there, as I’m sure will you”.
Bargrooves Ibiza Classics is released digitally on 13 August
