   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 track lists 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 present the critically acclaimed 3rd and 4th volumes together as a 2CD set. 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 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.

   Volumes 5 & 6 were the last of the series to be compiled by José Padilla and capture the scene at it's peak, with 2 laid-back and blissed out mixes.

   Taking over the selection duties from Jose Padilla for the 7th and 8th volumes of Café De Mar are DJ Bruno, Luke Neville & Ben Cherill and they don't disappoint. Continuing in the same form delivering blissed-out mixes.

   Repackaged Volumes 1 to 8 are available now at all good music stores (at very reasonable prices)
