Details: In 2022, Daniele 'Shield' Contrini of Rebirth Records proposed 'Paraiso' to the great man himself, a compilation honoring Alfredo's legacy. After Alfredo's passing in December 2024, the project was final; with artists rallying to honor his vision and memory. Before becoming a global clubbing hotspot, Ibiza embodied freedom-a place where sunrises blurred into sunsets and music became a way of life. In the 1950s and '60s, the island drew artists, hippies, and outsiders seeking escape and creative liberty. In 1976, Alfredo Fiorito, fleeing political repression in Argentina, arrived in Ibiza and stayed. A former music journalist, he soon began DJing at Amnesia, a farmhouse-turned-club where time bent and boundaries dissolved. With eclectic, genre-defying sets, Alfredo blended reggae, flamenco, soul, rock, and early house, crafting a hypnotic energy that captivated a generation. British DJs like Trevor Fung, Paul Oakenfold and Danny Rampling brought this 'Balearic Beat' back home. But Balearic wasn't a style it was a mindset. As DJ Leo Mas said, it was 'a state of mind,' where rhythm, spirit, and psychedelia merged. Other clubs like KU, Es Paradis, Pacha, and Lola's amplified the movement. Visual artists such as Yves Uro gave it a striking identity, and DJs like Cesar de Melero, DJ Pippi, and Jon Sa Trinxa carried the sound into a new era. Jose Padilla's sunset sessions at Cafe del Mar birthed chill-out music as breath, not just beat. But the 1990s brought change. Laws requiring roofs on clubs altered the open-air magic. Commercialization followed; freedom became luxury, and many pioneers left. Still, the Balearic spirit lives-raw and untamed. It pulses in hidden parties, intimate venues like Pikes and Hostal La Torre, and sacred places like Benirras and Las Dalias. Featuring 16 tracks of classic and true Balearic sound; alongside House & proto-House tracks that Mr. Fiorito spun, the album also includes an unreleased Alfredo track and stands as a tribute to the man, the music, and the enduring spirit of true Ibiza.
