The Chillout Lounge Mix - Ibiza 2

Ibiza mix, creativity blooms making music on this inspiring island.

Chinese DJ / producer IPeiqi makes his debut on Anjunadeep Explorations with the Power Down And Start Again EP. A former software engineer, Peiqi Liu first joined the Anjunadeep roster in 2023 via the Explorations 22 VA compilation. He has numerous previous releases on labels like Monstercat Silk and Beijing's East Records, and has delivered sets at some of East Asia's leading electronic music venues. In 2024, Peiqi took to the stage at Creamfields Hong Kong, and at Anjunadeep label showcases in Shanghai's Bandai Namco Dream Hall and Singapore's Zouk. The new EP shows IPeiqi at his best. The track Power Down And Start Again offers a playful take on modern electronica with a memorable vocal sample. Klangsberg releases his debut project, the Eiscold EP, on Anjunadeep Explorations. From 2010 to 2015, Maksim Leonovits released music under the alias N4M3, producing a variety of atmospheric and minimal drum & bass and electronica. He saw releases on Monstercat Silk, Café del Mar Music and Dublin-based Absys Recordings in collaboration with fellow Anjunadeep artist Nuage. After an extended hiatus, Maksim returns with a fresh sound, identity and broadened horizons. The Eiscold EP is a deeply reflective collection tracks, stemming from a combination of Maksim's recent trips to the Alps and the inspiration that glaciers, mountains and the alpine environment offered him. Alexander Church - Moments on the Shoreline Part 6 is out in a couple of months, Alexander says “Hope you enjoy the music and thanks for all the support everyone gives the label. Much love to Tim and Ranj for more excellent interpretations of the originals.” Guy Didden's new EP arrives on Colorize! It's a sublime 2-tracker for you to sink your teeth into from Dutch producer Guy Didden who is in fine form. Set Me Free carries through an amazing energy, glittering arpeggiated synths act as the focal point on a track that finds a great balance being laid-back and gripping all at once. Dead Synthy marks the first collaboration between progressive house legends Sasha and Marsh. This track is a quintessential slice of progressive house magic. Its calm, inviting atmosphere feels like a journey through little fluffy clouds, weaving in touches of electro and ethereal, angelic vocals. With golden-age vibes that nod to the roots of the genre, Dead Synthy is as timeless as it is fresh. Intu are delighted to welcome Elliot Moriarty back to their label. Elliot has been keeping very busy over the past couple of years, releasing on some of the biggest and best labels, being played by many of the top tier in the scene, and playing all over the globe himself. Fly High Little One is little tougher than Elliot’s trademark organic house sound, but still steeped in lush melodies, deep key progressions and celestial vocal hooks, all wrapped up by a strong kick, growling sub bass and a perfectly crafted percussion section. This Place keeps the energy flowing with its driving hypnotic groove, oscillating and reverberating stabs, and ever building melodies, topped off with a subtle yet powerful spoken word section on the break. Introducing Sonic Safari's first release by the brilliant Marabi. Patagonia, serves as a solid entry into the label's mission of global auditory exploration, offering a rich tapestry of organic grooves and traditional textures. Marabi is the powerhouse duo of Adel BiG AL Ghandour and Levente Human8 Szabo, two artists who've made their mark on international labels like Global Underground, Ministry of Sound, Armada, and Balance Music. Now, with the Patagonia EP, they embark on a fresh new sonic expedition. Istanbul via NYC based twin duo Lunar Plane entering A Tribe Called Kotori with Wind's Grace, infused with laid-back, ambient-leaning rhythms and ethereal textures. Emre and Mert embrace a softer, more atmospheric route with their productions in recent times, finding inspiration "in the ever-changing nature of the ocean and the winds that guide its waves—much like the journey of life itself", and this sense of freedom innervates their release throughout. My releases Glimmer and Deep Breath released on Stripped Recordings are available on Bandcamp now also. They were both heavily inspired by Ibiza and the sunsets there. Internationally acclaimed Italian pianist Alessandro Martire and Brooklyn-based producer BAILE team up on their latest neo-classical infused electronic EP Longing. Alessandro Martire is an internationally acclaimed Italian pianist and composer known for blending contemporary classical music with elements of pop, minimalism, and crossover genres. Canadian singer-songwriter Ellyn Woods collaborates on Empty which blends intricate electronica, deep house and neo-classical sounds alongside Ellyn’s vocals. Brighton-based Australian vocalist, producer, and multi-instrumentalist Penelope Trappes will release her fifth full-length album A Requiem. It comes alongside news of her signing to London imprint, One Little Independent Records. A Requiem collects ten haunting, ambient soundscapes - incantations of dreams and nightmares, of death and grief, as well as power and autonomy. New single Red Dove is melancholic but aerial, recalling an Armageddon dream of Penelope’s that ended with the vivid image of a boy holding a red dove. She tells us; “I felt like this dream was about humanity becoming numb, stripped of emotion, and completely lost in their pain. Sleepwalking. Swallowing the Bitter Pill. The general acceptance of destructive, violent and toxic social norms. The Red dove being a conduit of the world's negativity, yet held peacefully in the hands of an innocent child”. Launching the Anjunachill Revisited series, the Anjuna family welcomes California based producer and musician Eric Luttrell to the label, with a brand new downtempo revisit of his standout track Sunrise Song lifted from his third studio album Life at Full Speed released on Anjunadeep in 2024. Luttrell delivers a gentle rendition of the beloved original, as he intertwines the deep, emotive piano sound with atmospheric elements and a softer, steady beat to unwind to. The gifted Chris Zippel says about his new release on Maldesoule “I am very happy to have these tracks out on one of my favorite labels, Maldesoule. The first drafts of this collaboration with my friend Dimitris, aka Aiora, were created a couple of years ago. When I visited him in Athens last year, we decided to finalise everything.” Unsui (Blank Dust) is an Italian electronic music producer currently based in Madrid, whose artistic journey reflects a deep connection with rhythm and nature. Blue Awakenings captures the experience of waking in the middle of the night beneath a dark blue sky. The track blends soothing yet persistent rhythms with ambient sounds to reflect the struggle of a racing mind. It evokes the quiet intensity of those moments when the serene night contrasts sharply with the restless activity within. Experimental, intuitive and feminist, Joye's pop works like a powerful electronic spell, a ritual of healing and emancipation. Handling synthetic textures, chiaroscuro poetry and electronic experimentation with maturity, Joye makes of her music a tool of care and empowerment for herself and others.
