INFO
Jose Padilla, a legend in the Ibiza scene, has just made the most forward thin king Balearic album of the year in 'So Many Colours'.


It would have been easy for Jose to have made a chill-out album, but instead he has work ed together with four forward-thinking producers to create a modern album, movin g across the genres held together by the umbrella we call "balearic".

Jose Padilla is loved by many for his work soundtracking sunsets at the Café De l Mar and compiling the seminal Café Del Mar compilations which sold over six mi llion copies. His fans are wide and varied, on one end of the spectrum you have Madonna or Karl Lagerfeld, and on the other DJ legends such as Harvey and Andrew Weatherall.

The four aforementioned producers Padilla worked with ar e; Mark Barrott of Sketches From An Island and founder of International Feel; Te lephones, a man making serious waves right now with his deep house sound; Dussel dorf based and natural beat maker Wolf Müller a.k.a Jan Schulte; and Australian Tornado Wallace of Tim Sweeney's Beats In Space label.

All four are k nown for differing styles and sounds, though their work together with Padilla ru ns naturally as a cohesive whole. Barrott brings a deep oceanic mellowness, Torn ado the electronic synthesized melodic beats and grooves, Wolf Müller welcomes t he afro end of town and Telephones has produced three tracks of beautiful dream- like house music.

Each producer was flown to Ibiza to work at Jose's home in Santa Agnes, set up their studios in the house overlooking the one of th e islands most beautiful valley's and spent a week collaborating with Jose immer sed within the feeling of the island. Each found their own sound within the wall s of Jose's villa, but ultimately it is all extremely Balearic.

'Day One', 'Lollipop' and 'Blitz Magic' produced by Telephones pay heed to the newly revived dream house sound - expect an underground sleeper hit from one of these this summer. Mark Barrott produces 'Solito', as well as the beautiful album clos er, 'Remember Me', and the acoustic guitar vibes of 'Mojame'. Muller brings Braz ilian afro beats to 'Whistle Dance' and 'Afrikosa', and the album wouldn't be co mplete without Tornado's 'Maybe The Sunset' - a ride on Ibiza sunshine - and th e widescreen 'On the Road'.

Jose Padilla has created an album for dan cing wildly, relaxing wholly in nature, and losing yourself in. It is a true mus ical journey covering all angles of the balearic scene and reminiscent of one of the classic Cafe Del Mar compilations but in one artist album, and that artist is Jose Padilla.



o+ Jose moved to Ibiza in 1976 and start ed DJing in San Antonio, making tapes of his sets and selling them at Es Cana ma rket. On the first day he sold out in an hour. On the second day, he sold sixty tapes. By the late 1980s, he was living in a house next door to the Café Del Mar , DJing at clubs like Es Paradis at night and selling 500 tapes a day. In 1991, Café Del Mar asked him to step out of his house and into their DJ booth, where h e played until 1999 in front of a hand-made sign saying 'TAPES'.

o+o+ International Feel was founded by Mark Barrott, who produced most of the label' s output from his home in Punta del Este, Uruguay. The imprint now provides delu xe electronica sounds and exquisite balearic vibes from its base in Ibiza, where Mark relocated to in 2012. Barrott's A&R skills are much lauded after signing D J Harvey's Locussolus, which relaunched the legendary artist's career, amongst o thers, while his own production skills are highly revered and have resulted in I nternational Feel becoming one of the biggest selling vinyl labels of the moment .
