"Aquí van 5 horas de una sesión que en total duró 8 con un servidor y Luis Costa alternándonos en cabina o directamente haciendo B2B. Una sesión larga, como mandan los cánones baleáricos, donde el tiempo (el meteorológico y el cronológico), la música, el lugar y sus gentes se van moldeando mutuamente en un fluir constante. Sol, piscina, relax, gustera, pero también venirse arriba y pegarse unos bailecitos y justo después un chapuzón encarando ya el principio de la noche. Y todo ello en un lugar como Pikes, donde el espíritu baleárico (el de Tony, Julio, Freddie o Grace...) está impregnado en sus paredes y en sus mágicos rincones. Esto que vas a escuchar es un día de verano en el corazón de la Ibiza más genuina."

Luís Costa:

"La idea de volver a pisar la isla después de publicar el libro me tenía enloquecido. Pero hacerlo, después de tanto tiempo, pinchando con el fenómeno, partner y amigo Christian Len, haciendo un B2B de ocho horazas en la piscina del legendario y adorado Pikes, ya era demasiado. Lo que vino después fue un goce mayúsculo de pinchar más que a gusto entre amigos, saludados, conocidos y desconocidos que fueron desfilando por allí para escuchar nuestra particular selección de balearic y otras hierbas. Un día para recordar, y en eso estamos: que lo disfruten.”

The Charles Webster remix of this track was released in 2015 on the Japan only CD LP, 'Vacations Never Taken' (Victor Entertainment). The Ambient Mix was included on the, 'Miró In The Bathroom' release which came out on Jansen Jardin in April 2021. This is one of two previously unreleased versions available now from the Jansen Jardin Bandcamp page (see buy-link).

Come Come The Rain (O.S.T Version)

Buy from Jansen Jardin

Meditative Balearic bliss from a true master of the sound. Impeccable production, imaginative chord progressions, and an overwhelming ocean-side aesthetic combine majestically on this glorious composition. Yokohama-based musician, producer and DJ Max Essa is one of our favourite cosmically-charmed creators, and we're thrilled to include his inspired work on the compilation.

Seekers is a dub-soaked, trance-tinged exploration of texture, rhythm, and atmosphere. Across three original tracks and a deep dub reinterpretation by Mozes, the record drifts between ambient dance, psychedelic shimmer, and experimental sound collage.

Born from the chaos of a sleepless coastal city, Seekers captures the fractured poetry of urban drift — soft and hazy one moment, tangled and dense the next. Built from field recordings, found tones, and analogue synth fragments, it feels like a collection of dream fragments from the in-between: half memory, half mirage.

Closing the release, Mozes reimagines one of the EP’s key pieces through a dub-rooted lens — a meditative descent into echo and weight, where bass becomes landscape and delay turns to dialogue.

Dear friends, fans, and music lovers,

With immense joy and deep gratitude, today I share with you the compilation album celebrating an incredible year: Best of 2025.

This project is much more than just a collection of tracks. These are 20 cuts that represent the heart and soul of my musical journey this past year. We’ve compiled the absolute highlights, spanning everything from the irresistible groove of "Let the Music Play" to the interstellar explorations of "Space Orchestra".

This collection is particularly special as it features the moment of the year: our incredible collaboration with the legendary Giorgio Moroder! You’ll also find a vibrant mix of genres here: from the purest Disco and the deep textures of Cosmic, to high-energy Edits and Reworks. This album is a journey—a moment to remember the hypnotic call of "Come In...", the energy of our best Originals, and the fresh take on our signature sounds.

Every beat and every melody exists because of you.

Your unconditional support, your messages, and seeing you dance to my music is what truly gives meaning to my work. There is no better reward than knowing these vibes have been your companions.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for making 2025 unforgettable. I hope you enjoy reliving these moments with Best of 2025.

The sonic adventure continues!

Warmly,

Ilya Santana 

Astrolead best of 2025 (20 tracks album)

It’s with mixed feelings I have worked on this year’s edition of the ongoing Discoholics Anonymous series. Two artists that were on my list since year one can never do me the honor of gracing this series with their immense talent and love for music. In March the devastating news of Andy Williams (Yam Who?’s) death shocked the tightly knit Disco community at it’s very foundation. Suddenly one of the brightest reflections in the disco ball’s multi-facets turned dark forever. 

In November Stephen Richards left our realm and joined Andy in the lounge with Donna Summer, The Gibb brothers, Sylvester, Dan Hartman, Loleatta Holloway, Larry Levan, Walter Gibbons and all the other stars of the disco realm. I would have loved to share a mutual experience of bringing the joy of their art to you guys, and making this cumbersome world a tad more palatable. 

I am forever grateful to the funkateers who very generously gave their art for me to share with you this year. From Greece came Dim Zach, From Italy came Lup Ino, from Ireland came Dexter Jones, From New Zealand came The Loneliest Hunk, from England came Ben Banjo Field, Fray Bentos, Chewy Rubs and Ben Jamin, from Germany came FINAL DJS and Dee-Bunk, from Austria came Tunesmith, and from France came DoctorSoul. All with hundreds of years of artistry between them, tens of thousands of hours of DJing between them, all with a mutual mission: To make you feel the vibes of the weekend, liberty, love and unity through their music. Music with I get to give to you and thus mark another incredible year for Discoholics Anonymous.

I shan’t go into numbers or boring details about demographics and plays, suffice to say that Discoholics Anonymous more than ever plays a very central part in many people’s way of finding cool music on the internet. If I could gather you all in one place no major city in this world would be able to carry the pressure it would genrerate. I quite like the idea of that, and hope that the happiness we all derive from this style of music can somehow impact the cosmic field of love and energy that binds us all together as people in the end. 

You guys are what drives me to keep on writing reviews, sharing premieres, releasing the tracks I personally fall in love with , and curate with Martin and Mauro on Hot To The Touch, which now airs in three countries in Europe: Greece, Ireland and England. Thanks to Yiannis from Prime Radio for still airing the show in prime time every Friday, thanks to Cole Kutz from Opentempo for airing it at 12AM so that the continental funkers can dig the vibes during daytime there and for always plugging us on his own amazing Friday night shenanigans on Opentempo. Also a big thanks to the good people on NDC Radio who make us sound good across the UK and for making the show 4 minutes longer, every week. That’s a lot more Disco than most people think if you add up the minutes!

Thanks to my wife Rebecca for letting me stay in the disco liar, The Disco Waltons, Pete Ellison & Greg Middleton from Feel Good Friday for letting me be substitute teacher every now and then, Igor Gonya for sticking by me with premieres both ways and good and honest advice and occasional drinks across the world, all the labels and artists who submitted premieres for discoanon.com over the year. It’s been incredible to be able to give you such an insane amount of the freshest and whackest tracks in the world. To the more then 1900 people who’ve supported me through kind donations on Bandcamp and PayPal. You are directly the people who make it possible for me to keep on delivering quality content every week, every month, every year since 2019. My heart is humble and I’m so grateful to be able to keep this going for 6 years now and to be able to see it still growing and finding new engagements across the planet. 

THANK YOU! 

SEE YOU IN 2026.
