On our trip to Ibiza (see our Ibiza post), we had the pleasure of seeing the wonderful Maya Jane Coles play at Kehakuma. In fact, we loved it so much we took a video of her set so you could witness the magic she was creating – see below.
This video sends shivers down our spine and brings back some very fun memories – but we had absolutely no idea what track is featured and have been unable to find it. Until now that is.
The track is called ‘Hand Made’ by KINK, and the dreamy ooooh’s are provided by Rachel Row. We’re so happy we’ve found this track. We’ve had it on repeat all day and now we’re able to share it with you too.
What really makes this track extra special is the way in which KINK has produced ‘Hand Made’. He’s taken a sample from on old vinyl and used a combination of analogue filters/loopers and delays combined with Rachel’s beautiful vocals. Pretty impressive stuff, and this just cements our love for the track even more – see his making of video below.
We really hope you like this track as much as we do - you can download it from Juno records.
Thanks to Ond Re for helping us find this beautiful track!
Ah, we’re still suffering from the Ibiza Blues. It’s been one week since we were partying over on the white isle, and now its back to reality. But what a week it was!
So now it’s time to reflect on what an amazing time we had, and we’ve put our heads together to come up with our Ibiza 2012 top 5. So read on…
1. Circo Loco & Cocoon
Hawtin, Troxler, Jones, Plex, Dice, Lazarus, Allien and of course The Brothers. Do we need to say anymore?? Just that DC10 is possibly our favourite club, and Amnesia was perfect for the excitement of Cocoon.
2. Maya Jane Coles @ Kehakuma
Regular readers will know that we are BIG fans of MJC. We were pretty excited to see her play at Space for Kehakuma. As you would expect, she didn’t disappoint. Steve Lawler was pretty impressive too, but MJC stole the night for us, full of energy and big bassy beats, she well and truly owned the terrace at Space, you could tell she was loving every minute of it. We took a little video for you… (track ID anyone??)
3. Bora Bora
Having arrived on the first day, we spent the first few hours exploring our new playground – Playa d’en Bossa. Walking along the beach we took in the sights; Carl Cox‘s Sands, Bora Bora and the sunbathing talent. We decided to grab some sangria and join the party over at Bora Bora. There was a great party vibe, with tech house blaring, people dancing and the resident Spiderman throwing some interesting moves…
4. Ibiza Underground
Following a fun day trip to The Zoo Project, where the seals were replaced with DJ’s and the monkeys replaced with party goers, we decided to take a trip to less well-known club, Ibiza Underground. Located outside of San Antonio, it attracted a nice relaxed crowd and with a big chill out terrace and a packed out dance floor, the €20 (ladies free entry) entrance fee was well worth it!
5. Scuba, Skudge and Heidi
Although this is ranked #5 on our list… do not be mistaken – We Love @ Space was a brilliant night. The trio we’ve picked out absolutely smashed the night. Scuba and Skudge played back to back in the main room and blew us away with two hours of techno and deep, dark house – Scuba making our night by dropping NE1BUTU. We nipped over to the terrace to catch Heidi, who really played into the crowd and dropped some nice techy tunes.
So that’s our Ibiza top 5, but we’d love to hear if you’re going out there or if you already have… let us know what nights you visit and what DJ’s made your trip.
Ibiza is definitely the place to go for lovers of Electronic Music. You’ll find us there next year. In fact, we’ve already started planning Ibiza 2013.
