Cafe Del Mar
Ibiza is a Spanish island located in the western Mediterranean. It is known as "the most famous sunset spot on the planet" and is also the world's most famous sunset spot. A well-known dance party venue (the famous new age music group Enigma was formed here). Cafe Del Mar, located on the coast of the island, is a coastal cafe where you can see the sunset reflected in the water. Facing the infinitely beautiful orange sunset scene, combined with the refreshing electronic music, it has become synonymous with Chill Out music.
In the early 1980s, Del Mar Cafe was built on the coast of Ibiza. Its distinctive decorative architecture and fascinating sunsets immediately attracted many tourists. The music culture that emerged along with the beautiful scenery covers jazz, blues, classical, electronic, etc. Since then, sunset and music have become part of Cafe Del Mar.

Ibizarre
In 1990, when British producer Lenny Krarup arrived in Isabi for the first time, he was immediately captivated by the beautiful scenery of the island. So he settled on the island and often held parties and played in famous clubs on the island such as Cafe Del Mar and Space. , Pacha, Kumharas as DJ. And his recording studio located on the top of a hill has gradually become a gathering place for Chill Out musicians.
In the summer of 1997, Lenny Krarup established his own music label Ibizarre, gathering a group of Chill Out music lovers to make music together, and successively released his famous series The Ambient Collection1-5. These records all use insects and animals as cover themes, with a strong sense of art. The music style presented by The Ambient Collection interprets another strong "Ambient + Chill Out" style for this well-known island. The music often has a bit of romance and a bit of indifference, and occasionally brings deeper emotions. The Chill Out experiment combines 1960s psychedelic music, dance music elements and electronic synthesizers to produce many stunning Chill Out works that are addictive.
The critical acclaim for his music has made Lenny Krarup one of the important musicians in the entire Chill Out music scene, and his works under the label Ibizarre are often included in labels such as Cafe Del Mar, Real Ibiza, and Cafe Mambo. , Ambient Ibiza, Chilled Ibiza and other Chill Out music collections.
One of the characteristics of ChillOut music is the use of ambient music elements and female vocals. Goldfrupp's "Utopia" and MariBoine's "GulaGula" are good examples. Goldfrapp's intoxicating voice can take you into a utopian realm with just a single sing. "GulaGula" is sung only by female voices, accompanied by elegant electronic music, bringing out bursts of worldmusic. In fact, male vocals can also soothe your mood. I recommend the song "Tatouage Bleu". In terms of pure music, "AnyOtherName" and "100BillionStars" should be your after-dinner desserts.
