José Padilla - Scoring Sunsets | Resident Advisor

When José Padilla was 20, he jumped on a boat travelling from the Spanish mainland to Ibiza. He, like so many others, immediately fell in love with island life: the pace, the people and, of course, the party scene, which was just starting to blossom. At that point, he couldn't have known he would stay on the White Isle for the rest of his life.
Padilla, who died last year aged 64, became one of Ibiza's most cherished DJs, a master and pioneer of the world-renowned Balearic sound. This short film by Matt Crocker tells Padilla's story in his own words, combining footage from an unreleased interview with shots of the White Isle in its heyday, before big money and mass international tourism changed the clubbing landscape forever.

Thank you Jose Padilla for your passion & for all the musical vibes you shared with us!

[@disarmsox]

Ibiza opened my eyes to electronic/dance music and live DJ´s, but Jose Padilla and Cafe Del Mar were responsible for introducing me to an entirely new genre of music that I still listen to some 25 years later. I am so grateful for the privilege of being there in the 90´s whilst Jose was playing. Gracias a Jose para todos y descansa en paz, te recordaremos para siempre.

[@Peace-Love-Unity]

Here is a moving video, i wish to be there in the 90's

[@YesSirPhil]

And when I go to Ibiza I have to listen to pop (or so called EDM) music in the clubs and Café del Mar was always empty :(
