Cafe del Mar: Volume Uno Y Dos (2CD)

2010 will see the legendary Café De Mar celebrate its 30th anniversary. Situated on the island of Ibiza in the town of San Antonio de Portmany Café Del Mar arguably kick-started the chillout scene with its laidback vibes and grooves. In the 90s Café Del Mar began to release a series of chillout music compilations with tracklists carefully chosen to reflect the mood and spirit of a sunset by the ocean. In 1994, the first official Café Del Mar CD was released and today Café del Mar stands as the most respected and highly imitated chill-out music compilation series, selling millions of copies around the world.Universal Music is proud to release the first two volumes in the Café De Mar Series. Each of these volumes is currently unavailable and this will be the first time that they have been put together on one release. Further volumes are due to be released through the year leading up to the official Café Del Mar anniversary month of June.Café Del Mar DJ and artist, Jose Padilla curates these first two volumes and was instrumental in creating the sound that was to become chillout. For years he had been asked to make tapes of his hand picked, chilled out and totally eclectic tunes. As he himself says I am always trying to find tracks which would otherwise be forgotten, or which hold the spirit of Café del Mar Eclectic and chilled are the best way to describe these collections. World, folk, dance and rock artists all feature in the Café Del Mar series with volumes one and two featuring tracks from William Orbit, Sabres, of Paradise, Leftfield, Paco de Lucia and others.
