Chris Coco & Jim Breese – Eight Tracks You Never Thought Were Balearic
Chris Coco and Jim Breese have more experience of the Balearic spirit than Katie Price has experience of planning weddings. While Chris has earnt his kudos by playing a role in compiling the Real Ibiza compilations throughout the 1990s, Jim picked up his Balearic stripes through being a resident DJ at the infamous Cafe Mambo Ibiza. The pair have come together to curate a selection of top quality Balearic sounds for a compilation series that comes from a love for the true Balearic spirit. Here, they tell us why they reckon sounds from Barry White, Carly Simon and more are proper Balearic.
Balearic is out on 22nd June, conveniently enough via Balearic.
A big part of the Balearic experience is going somewhere to watch the sun set into the sea, preferably accompanied by some beautiful music. It’s the only time something as mellow as Nils Frahm’s ‘Over There, It’s Raining’ could be played by a DJ. The pure emotional power of this live version is hard to beat.
