Now he's back as Soul Designer, the most orchestrally-inclined of his guises, with new album 'Evolutionism'.

| News | Ibiza’s best chill out music Posted: 27 Jun 2008 10:53 PM CDT Before Ibiza there was no 'chill out'. The island's famous beach and sunset bars such as Cafe del Mar, Cafe Mambos and Sa Trinxa pioneered blissful, charming, downtempo jazz, deep house, funk and soul long before chill out CDs became a coffee table accessory. Whilst Ibiza's nightclubs are the best in the world, its beaches, bars and sunsets are also the perfect tonic to wash away the previous night's excesses. Today Beatportal visited one of the best chill out bars in Ibiza - Sa Trinxa on Las Salinas Beach and met Andi Piper, a DJ who has spun at the bar for over 10 years alongside the legendary Jon Sa Trinxa. We grilled Andi about what he thinks is Ibiza's best chill out music in between his mixes. |
