I selected tunes for this mix last year during LD out of sheer self-indulgence. A mix of 30 years of my own personal Balearic Anthems. The Dance tracks that reminded me of the Real Balearic sound of Ibiza. Sitting at Cafe Del in the early 90’s contemplating life whilst experiencing the magic of Jose Padilla for the first few time. The first time hearing Alfredo at Amnesia and wondering “WTF ”. The memories of Space Terrace on a Sunday afternoon, the boat parties, sailing round the island, Es Vedre, the plane journeys, the season of ’99 at Es Paradis, Pacha, Cheesecake, Cafe Mambo and a hundred restaurants. The tunes that reminded me of people who turned into friends, of friends that turned into family, of absent friends, of unforgettable nights and days
My BA are the tracks that meant something to me and my 30 year journey. Tracks that moved me emotionally and spiritually - maybe not usual obvious anthems people would expect to be picked, but each one my own personal anthem

JON MANCINI - MADE IN ITALY Vol.2 - ITALO HOUSE MIX

Saturday 28/6/25 saw the Back in the Day team’s kit launch event, at the Fan Zone of Stoke City FC Stadium. A family friendly Saturday afternoon in glorious sunshine, with free beer!

Stoke City billed the event as the “Spirit of ’92” invoking the colours of the football strips from 33 years ago, and the tunes throughout the day were all from the early 90’s.

Here’s what you missed from the start of the event, as the gates opened……….😎

The memories of Space Terrace on a Sunday afternoon, the boat parties, sailing round the island, Es Vedre, the plane journeys, the season of ’99 at Es Paradis, Pacha, Cheesecake, Cafe Mambo and a hundred restaurants. The tunes that reminded me of people who turned into friends, of friends that turned into family, of absent friends, of unforgettable nights and days
My BA are the tracks that meant something to me and my 35 year journey. Tracks that moved me emotionally and spiritually - maybe not usual obvious anthems people would expect to be picked, but each one my own personal anthem
