VARIOUS - Pacha Ibiza Classics - Trifold Green, Red & White Vinyl 3xLP

Given that beloved superclub Pacha has been part of Ibiza's evolving club scene since the early 1970s, it's one of few venues worthy of an expansive 'classics' compilation. Of course, the focus of this triple-vinyl set is a bit narrower than that, with the team largely focusing on cuts released - and hammered at Pacha - since the 1990s. That means Knee Deep's salsa-fired Latin house mix of Afro Medusa's 'Pasilda' rubbing shoulders with the soaring melodic trance of Planet Funk's 'Chase The Sun', Rui Da Silva's tribal house anthem 'Touch Me' sitting side by side with the big beat era ragga-house of Groove Armada's 'Superstylin', and MK style NYC garage-house heaviness (Nightcrawlers) being followed by Miami sweatiness (Murk), hands-aloft trance (Da Hool), and hard-wired acid (Hardfloor reworking Mary Kante).
