José Padilla

José Padilla is a Spanish disc jockey and producer of ambient music. He is best known for his work as DJ in the Café del Mar bar in the island of Ibiza, and is considered responsible for popularizing electronic chill-out music. Born in Barcelona, Padilla moved to Ibiza in 1975, taking up the DJ residency at Cafe del Mar in 1991. In 1994, he compiled the first Cafe del Mar album for the React label. The series is now in its 13th volume and has spun off several related compilations, as well as leading to the creating of the bar's own eponymous label. Padilla selected tracks for the first six, as well as the 20th Anniversary commemorative release. While several tracks of Padilla's appeared in his various compilations, it wasn't until 1998 he released his first album, Souvenir, on label Mercury Records. The CD featured collaborations with several chill-out musicians, including Lenny Ibizarre and Paco Fernandez. His second album, Navigator, was released in 2001.

Lushlife Sound System is the soundsystem version of two excellent Hungarian dj-s, Zoohacker's and Konrad's Lushlife Project. This time they have 2 guests: Emese Molnár (vocal) and Gergő Katona (trumpet). The refined downtempos by the  Lushlife Project sound just as if they were taken from a Café del Mar compilation.: in 2005 one of ther leading lounge-labels, the Mole Listening Pearls released a magnificent collection titled Budapest Eskimos. The two different roots of this dj duo (Zoohacker is a tecaher of music and a historian of music, while Konrad is a renowned program editor for RadioCafe) meet in a smooth and rich way in the Lushlife project: they use both folk music material (have been doing with excellent taste for a long time), do great mixes, use live instruments and excellent voices. Lushlife Project is a world-class thing, that will meet in quality Padilla's outrstanding sets.
