Jose Padilla

 

Like no other Jose Padilla has managed to convert the Ibiza lifestyle into music. He is the originator of the “Ibiza sound” the Godfather of Chill, Lounge and the relaxed Ibiza sound. Whilst others were banging Techno & House in the clubs it was Jose Padilla that made Cafe del Mar a legend, initially on the island and then around the world. With over 6 million compilations and albums sold, the name Jose Padilla and Cafe del Mar will always conjure images of sunsets and beautiful music. Since the early 80?s Jose has been playing in the famous clubs of Pacha, Space or Ku. Initially he sold his mixes at the Hippy Market on the island and then came the famous invitation to DJ at Cafe del Mar- the rest is history as they say. The Queen of Pop, Madonna went on record as saying that any of the Cafe del Mar volumes mixed by Jose Padilla would be her choice as the perfect soundtrack to take to a desert island. This made him the famous name he is, also his two solo albums ‘Souvenir’ & ‘Navigator’ were released worldwide and in the USA. ‘Navigator’ being nominated for a Latin Billboard Grammy. Jose has by no means slowed down, his ‘Bella Musica’ & ‘Sunset’ compilation series go straight to #1, he has a new album being released worldwide by Warner Music, ’2 Hearts’ with Kirsty Keatch in summer 2012 and the Singita's 10th Anniversary compilation on Klik Records. He is an Ambassador for his country- DJing worldwide in London, Paris, Berlin, Monte Carlo, Moscow, Amsterdam, Miami, Italy, Australia, a special guest on the Formula 1 circuit and also preparing for a live tour……
