The ultra-stylish artwork that adorns the cover of ‘Eivissa 2006’ is an indication of the music’s cosmopolitan nature which lies within this three CD set. And as you would expect from Defected’s headman, Simon Dunmore the selection of tracks isn’t just first rate it also speaks volumes about the quality of contemporary Dance music. Each time you listen to this inspired collection of artists you’ll find something new to get excited about, whether it’s the smooth latin rhythms of HippSoul’s ‘Paradise’ or House standards’ such as Paperclip People’s ‘Throw’ satisfaction is always guaranteed. While the first CD gets you in the mood by the time CD two hits the dance-floor will be well and truly jumping, as the creative flair of Simon Dunmore’s mixing style will leave you with little choice. The third disc is by way of a special bonus from DJ Pipi and his choice of Ibiza classics which include essential Balearic anthems like Jestofunk ‘Im Gonna Love You’ and Mandy Smith’s ‘I Just Can’t Wait’.
