VA - Sunset Hours Marini's on 57 Vol.1 (Compiled By Jose Padilla) (2014)

Brand new compilation CD compiled by Balearic music pioneer Jose Padilla, regarded by many as the spiritual father of chill out and Balearic music. He is celebrating being a DJ for 40 years in 2014 and his world famous Cafe Del Mar compilations have now sold around 8 million copies worldwide. Jose Padilla has just signed to the highly respected label International Feel, also home of fellow innovator Harvey. He's primed to release a new single, 'Solito' and there's an album coming in Spring 2015. And if that wasn't enough, Padilla's returning to Café Del Mar this summer for some select dates for the first time in fifteen years - the perfect resolving chord that heralds the start of a new Balearic summer. It's a busy time for Jose Padilla. This is a new compilation on Secret Life Music - who will be collecting and digitising all of Padilla's iconic tapes. There's a brand new radio show summer following on from his successful Ibiza Sonica radio shows which will be syndicated worldwide, and he's just celebrated his 40th anniversary of DJ'ing. He's in great shape, just like the scene he built. Earlier this year a well-known music magazine contacted Padilla with the news he'd been selected for their Lifetime Achievement Award. He turned them down. "I didn't want it. I'm still DJing and Secret Life have also started hosting events, this year they have 2 parties at the legendary Pikes Hotel in Ibiza in June and September as well as hosting their own stage at the world's leading Chill Out and Electronica festival Stella Polaris in Denmark in August.
