It's amazing how different Summer Ibiza is to Winter Ibiza... I love Winter Ibiza just as much as Summer Ibiza - the parties are all there, you just have to know where to go :) Certain parts of the island become like ghost towns, as if the whole place is on one massive comedown after a season of getting well and truly twisted. The music changes along with the island, the commercial sheen suddenly disappears from the music, and you're left with the pure distilled Balearic soul. That's the spirit I've tried to get into this mix, taking some of my favorite tracks from this winter and putting them into my Ruforia melting pot of funk. Unfortunately, Moby Dicks will not be opening this season, alas, after 25 years of being almost an institution to some people, it closed its doors for the last time at the end of last season, which means I'm off in search of new DJ ground. For the moment, I'm playing every Friday night in Coulture Cafe in Figuretas, so if you're in the area, drop in :) I'm also going to see if I can get Ruforia started at a new club, Blu (also in Figuretas), so hopefully I can get something organized before the season starts :) All is not lost though, as Jimmy will be opening a new bar just a few doors down from Moby's, so we'll keep the spirit alive there instead :) I'm planning a Moby Dick's Classic Commemmorative Ruforia mix, so everyone who's been in Moby's and been up to no good has something to remember it by. I'm sorry for the age it's taken me to get another mix together, and I'd like to give a big thanks to all the Ruforia supporters who've kept the emails and donations coming, if you ever need a place to crash here on the island, you know it's the least I can do :) If you do listen to Ruforia regularly, please consider making a donation to help keep it going - with so many people downloading it does cost me a fair bit in bandwidth charges, which is why I can't put mixes out too regularly at the moment. Donations go a small way to covering those costs so anything you can afford to spare is very much appreciated. You can donate securely via paypal at http://ruforia.googlepages.com/donate.htm. Thank you :) I've uploaded this mix at double the usual quality (256Kb/s Mp3 instead of 128Kb/s) to see what the response is. It makes the file size bigger, but I think the extra definition in the sound is worth it... tell me what you think! rufuswhite@gmail.com With that, BRING ON THE SEASON! I'll see you all at the Space opening party on June 1. I'll be wearing my best poncho.
