Editor's review
As head of one of the premier house labels in the world, Defected Music's honcho compiles what he sees as the quintessential celebration of Clubber Island (mostly referred to as Ibiza)--and as such, the mix features the party sounds of Todd Terry, Kenny Dope, and others. Since it's a tribute to those long island nights, of course it's got a strong tropical and tribal house backdrop, congas and bongos flying around shiny synths, and the occasional diva demand.
Biography
Eivissa is the Catalan name for Ibiza. The famous Island known for its summer parties, with thousands of people flooding in for the big summer club nights. Defected’s label boss, Simon Dunmore on his fourth installment of “Evissa in the house” shows us the style and feel that is Ibiza. So crank it, lift your cocktail up in the air and get into the hottest summertime party in the world.
For us Pacha is the only venue that we consider, because it’s a
pure disco. There are great clubs in Ibiza obviously, but none
of them really have the combination of clubbing and fashion
that I think Pacha has. It’s the perfect home for us. – SIMON
DUNMOR
Defected boss Simon Dunmore is a fanatical collector of vinyl, with over 10,000 records organized by label, and with those he most loves and respects, Motown, Philly, Salsoul, Strictly Rhythm, taking centre-stage. Simon has always had a vision that his own label, Defected, will one day be as revered
and respected as those other labels, and that the Defected section will have pride of place in the collection of any self-respecting dance music fan.
As a DJ, doing a compilation is a pretty personal thing. I think there are DJ’s who put compilations together with the intent of selling as many records as possible, which is fine. For me, the Eivissa comp is an extension of what I’m about musically and about what we do as a label – SIMON DUNMORE
As ever, this years ‘Eivissa: in the House’ is packed with all the big tunes that will be soundtracking countless thousands of dedicated clubbers’ summer holidays this year. This double CD moves thru many of today’s hottest producers from Mr. V to Basement Jaxx, Dennis Ferrer to Grand High Priest.
A few real highlights on ‘Evissa 07’ are a new track by Todd Terry that’s coming out on Strictly Rhythm called ‘Get Down’. It’s a collaboration between Todd, Kenny Dope, DJ Sneak, with vocals from Tara. Dennis Ferrer’s new track ‘Touched the Sky’ had a great run at WMC, you can play it on your i-Pod or in your car and think it’s a pretty cool record, put it in club it’s something else, it just sounds dope and really comes
into its own.-SIMON DUNMORE
