Erick Morillo, Giorgio Moroder & Mark Brown 'Space Ibiza: 1989-2016' (Cr2)
Carl Cox: The Final Chapter and Space Closing on October 2 were two of the most historical parties in Ibiza memory. At the latter, Erick Morillo and Mark Brown delivered inside the club and out, with Erick playing ‘Rej’ and ‘Pasilda’ by Afro Medusa and Mark closing out with Pete Heller’s never-bettered ‘Big Love’. While Mark opts for a mix of house gems here, Morillo keeps things more current with productions from Claude VonStroke, Hot Since 82 and The Martinez Brothers. And while we’re still not sure if Moroder should have made the jump to laptop DJ, he does at least pick classics over bland Britney collabs – and the opening ‘Giorgio By Moroder’ is still brilliant.
