 In 1994 the REACT label (now RESIST) released the first 'Café Del Mar' album, a timeless collection of chilled grooves fusing soul, jazz, classical, and World music flavours to create a truly unique play list, setting a trend that has sparked people's enthusiasm for over a decade.
The celebrated compilation was the brainchild of Ibiza's spiritual father of chill out, JOSE PADILLA. A DJ who is famed for perfecting the emotionally charged sunset session at the legendary café bar and now, 10 years later, Jose revisits his spiritual roots with the release of 'Café Solo', a double CD tribute to Balearic music and beyond, contemporary and classic.
'Café Solo' is Resist's first foray into the perennially popular chilled music scene since shelving the long running 'Real Ibiza' series of compilations and reflects the current interest in all things down-tempo as highlighted by the runaway success of music festivals The Big Chill and Bestival. The album delivers a diverse and rich musical content, which meant Jose has eschewed DJ mixing 'Café Solo' in favour of carefully sequencing the album to create a coherent musical feel and flow.
CD1 takes a more eclectic vibe in a chilled direction with tracks from BEBEL GIBERTO, ELEVATOR SUITE and even JEAN MICHEL JARRE.
CD2 on the other hand takes a more cutting edge route, with some fantastic contemporary tracks from the likes of nu-disco producer DANIEL WANG and KOMPAKT heroes CLOSER MUSIK, JUSTUS KÖHNCKE and ROSIN MURPHY alongside classics by YELLOW MAGIC ORCHESTRA and PETER GREEN.
