Jose Padilla Essential Mix 1995

Staying with the Balearic vibes here’s a 1995 Essential mix crafted by Ibiza's chill out king DJ Jose Padilla. Padilla is of course a Ibiza legend,being synonymous with the Café Del Mar having sound tracked many a San Antoni bay sunset, as well as compiling the first six Café Del Mar compilations. When first working there he would serve drinks as well as DJ’ing and sell tapes of his mixes from the DJ booth.

This mid nineties Essential Mix, originally broadcast as part of Radio 1’s first Ibiza weekend, is a fine selection as ever from Jose. Only two tracks in it features the sublime Nightmares on Wax’s Nights Interlude, a track absolutely played to death but I think it’s has had just about enough time out of the limelight to sound fresh again. There’s much more than just down tempo being played the mix takes in deep house, some piano groovers, Californian acid funk from Young American Primitive, a Speedy J track that wouldn’t sound out of place in a current minimal set and a early version of Robert Miles trance anthem Children. I hope I can just about get away with posting that here. Go on, give trance a chance, the mix is from 1995 after all.
