DJ Alfredos All Time Balearic Classics. Part 2.

I never managed to finish the Balearic Chill Out Sunday before going on holiday to France.  I would totally recommend the World Wide Festival in Sete (France).  I will be focusing on Gilles Peterson and the festival on future Sundays.

For now lets get on with the Ibiza theme.  Today's is all about Balearic and DJ Alfredo again.  Here is the second part of his all time Balearic favourites.  As before click on the blue titles to go to the YouTube videos.  Some of the links dont work so you will need to just YouTube them yourself.

I hope that these videos show a more truer side to Ibiza and that you hear some music you have never heard before.

Enjoy.


Barry White: It's Ecstasy When You Lay Down Next To Me
One of the less known track from the big sexy voice that move that all of the place and give opportunity for the man and women approach.
Ce Ce Rodgers: Someday
With Promised land one of that records that unified the dance floor even if the records is quite mellow, at the times was booming from the speakers.
Kool Moe Dee: Do You Know What Time Is It
The record that announced to the people that the night was about to arrive at the end. At the beginning this was taken as bad news, but later it started to do its job and extra energized the last part of the night.
West Phillips: Tell Me (That You Want Me) 
The B side of a seminal house record that has a very frantic piano melody and pumping beat that put the crowd jumping from the beginning.
The House Masters Boys and The Rude Boys of House: House Nation
The house record by all means most important in Amnesia. And for a funny reason: Most of the people (that never understood well the words, think that the singer was saying Amnesia insted of House Nation. I used to play the acappella version follow by the main mix and there were nights that the word Amnesia sounded louder that the record.
Frankie Knuckles: The Night Writers
One of the first remixes of Frankie Knuckles that rich my hands and with the fantastic atmospheric vibe of the track we got the opportunity to give a beat of coolness and even keep dancing.
Depeche Mode: Just Can't Get Enough (live version) 
A concert version of the super song of Depeche that was one of the peaks of the nights even if played every session, mostly at the end of the party.
Tears for Fears: Shout
At the beginning of the dance , when the party started to go up, Shout was a classic and perfect to mix with soul music of the times such as Soul II Soul or reggae such as Yellowman.
Soul II Soul: Fair Play
A classic for the reason that Jazzy B, before coming a big star, was giving it around the discotheques in Ibiza and brought me the record one night. I had no idea who it was.
Cyndi Lauper: Time after Time
Another ending of the night record that spread love all over the club.
Grace Jones. La vie en Rose
The classic ballad of Edith Piaf, was remixed for Grace, that one night came to tell me : please don't play my songs while I'm here. I never care 'cos I don't recognize her and even the most of the people there. That was the most important spirit of Amnesia those days. No matter who you where, you just been one more on the dance floor.
Jesus and the Payroll:Trashing Doves 
Rock and roll at its best and the one English people enjoy the most. Great track!
1530 Andino Atahualpa
A key track in all my sets, cos it changes tempo and gives the opportunity to go from down tempo to house and at the same time, a traditional South American melody from the Indians that live the Andes mountains.
