Ibiza Anthems - 1998

Trance anthems and beach parties are our fondest memories of 1998. I still get goosepimples thinking about those beach parties at La Escollera (Es Cavallet) on Sunday evenings after Space, with music from the Italian duo Sergi and Betto. For us this was the first 'Year of Trance' - Agnelli and Nelson, Marc et Claude, Café del Mar, York, et al. Some cracking house hits too - all in all a top year for dancing!

Café del Mar - Energy 52
Strictly speaking this should actually be from '93 or so, but the remix from 1998 stormed every disco on the island. We dare you not to get up and dance after the breakdown ;-)

Music Sounds Better With You - Stardust
Beautiful sexy, summer house, with one of the catchiest base riffs ever! Everyone loved this one.

Greece 2000 - Three drives on a Vinyl
Another haunting trance classic. The waterfall song, as many of my friends called it. Absolutely divine.

Horny - Mousse T
Strut your funky thang on the terrace in Space! One of the biggest cheers I have ever heard anywhere is when Mousse T dropped this (his own song) in Space one Sunday this year.

Storm - Storm
The men who invented trance as we know it, Jam El Mar and Mark Spoon, tear up dancefloors everywhere with this massive tech-trance cut. Top fact: Mark Spoon's real surname was Löffel - the German translation of spoon - unfortunately Spoon died on the 11.1.2006 with only 39 years. We will remember him!
