The Ibiza Beach Classic Special
As we gear up for the arrival of Cafe Del Mar into Singapore, breathing more life into the sleepy island of Sentosa, this edition of the show revisits some of the balearic tunes and sunset classics that make Ibiza so special. Soak up, wind down.

DEEPEST BLUE - Deepest Blue (Jon Hopkins Mix)
Taken from the single “Deepest Blue”
Deepest Blue are Joel Edwards and Matt Schwartz. Individually both Matt and Joel have worked with some of the biggest names in dance and pop including Massive Attack, Mica Paris and Underwolves. Big melodic hooks, soulful vocals, acoustic guitars and a slick electronic production add up to their direction with a contemporary pop sound.

The unreleased mix of the 2001 trance anthem.

GROOVE ARMADA - My Friend
Taken from the album “Goodbye Country (Hello Nightclub)”
The London-based Groove Armada is perhaps one of the UK's most successful dance music outfits. Their vast diversity and musical progression are the key elements in the music of Tom Findlay and Andy Cato.

SCHILLER - Ruhe
Taken from the album “Zeitgeist”
This top-selling German electronic pop act, fronted by producers Christopher von Deylen and Mirko von Schlieffen sit comfortably making relatively slow paced but hauntingly warm music, laced with diverse mix of rhythms, cultures and emotions.

THE EGG – Venice Beach
Taken from the EP “Venice Beach”
A new century Balearic classic steeped in memories of The Orb’s finest moments. An essential tune, boasting a gorgeous spaced-out melody, making it an essential for the down-tempo generation.

NITIN SAWHNEY – Falling
Taken from the album “Human”
Mercury Music prize nominee Nitin Sawhney fuses his British-Asian heritage with his internationalism and dwells in an eclectic musical environment.

STATIC REVENGER – Happy People (Christian J Rhodes Remix)
Taken from the single “Happy People”
Detriot-born Dennis White was initially the director of Kevin Saunderson’s Inner City, is responsible from this anthemic Ibiza big House tune.

BENT – Magic Love
Taken from the album “Everlasting Blink”
Nottingham's Bent, make up of Simon Mills and Nail Tolliday, have an enigmatic and charming approach to making their brand of electronic music. Produced by the lengendary Stephen Hague, ‘Magic Love’ is nothing short of disco heaven with sing-a-longs and a dreamy groove to boot.

LAURENT GARNIER – The Man With The Red Face (Svek Mix)
Taken from the single “The Man With The Red Face”
The original house and techno French impressario who first dared the world to believe that French dance music could be cool. “The Man With The Red Face” takes the usual techno-no-go area of saxophone solos and honks and squawks it through some seriously chilled and tuneful tech-house grooves.

INNER CITY - Good Life (Ian Pooley Mix)
Taken from promotional CDR
It is hard to believe that only two people made this timeless early House classic. Chicago house vocalist Paris Grey and Detroit producer Kevin Saunderson topped dance charts in America and Britain 11 times, hit Britain's Top 40 eight times, and sold over six million records.

G CLUB pres. BANDA SONORA – Guitarra G (Chillout Mix)
Taken from the single “Guitarra G”
Huge Ibiza anthem getting a balearic-styled chillout treatment.
