Cafe Del Mar Volume 18 is collaboration with the leading artists that have played a major role in the history of Cafe del Mar and shaped the Сhillout music culture over the years. 20 of the tracks are especially composed for this project, which encapsulate the original spirit of Cafe del Mar. Volume 18 sees the return of many iconic artists such as Afterlife, Moby, Chicane, Bent and Underworld back to the series.
Featuring iconic and emerging artists such as Eric Hilton, Pig&Dan, A Man Called Adam, Martin Buttrich, Fila Brazillia, Tango, A Vision of Panorama, DJ Python, and more. Café del Mar Chillout Mix V blends downtempo and trip-hop beats with the Balearic essence. Perfect for unwinding and setting the mood for Ibiza's legendary sunsets.
Cafe Del Marr Jazz maintains the reputation the Cafe Del Mar series has as a leader in chilled out, late evening, cocktails at sunset-type music. Here we have a jazzy twist on the theme. The vibe stays generally mellow but still throws in plenty of beat and percussion along with some gentle funk here and there, an occasional 50's feel, Enigma-type whisperings and quirky voiceovers - in other words plenty of variation and mood without straying too far from the dreamy feel-good laidback vibe Cafe del Mar is known.
There are lots of moods represented here. Kraak & Smaak's Danse Macabre is a kind of Mobyesque take on jazz with repeated slightly disembodied vocals appearing amongst the instrumentation…
There can only be one Chillout and Lounge Compilation Series being the market leader and it certainly is the Café Del Mar series! There have since been many imitators, but only one true Café Del Mar. No other album will reaffirm further this very simple statement than Volume 20 Includes exclusive tracks from Nightmares on Wax, Goldfrapp, Thievery Corporation, Rae & Christian, Penguin Café, Moby, M83, Morcheeba, Boards of Canada.
