DJ Pippi Bocadillos Variados

Copenhagen’s Music For Dreams release the special vinyl edition of the first ever artist album from
Ibiza legend DJ Pippi. Entitled ‘Bocadillos Variados’, the 10 track double album showcases Pippi’s
own style of deep soulful Balearic grooves and quality global house. Highlights include the funky new
Ibiza summer anthem ‘Cristal Palpita’, Balearic underground hit ‘La Serenata’ recorded with Kenneth
Bager, the Grace Jones influenced ‘Make U Smile’ with Tuccinelli and stunning soulful track ‘So
Beautiful’ featuring Barbara Tucker. The LP also features contributions from producers and
musicians J.L., Victor Martin (Eurythmics) and Ibiza luminary Cesar De Melero.
Originally from Italy, DJ Pippi got his break in Ibiza when the management at Pacha heard one of his
mixtapes back in the early 80s. He has since become synonymous with the rise of Pacha and Pippi
has worked two different eras at the club. The first stint was between 1984 and 1987, the second
started in 1991 and continues to this day. He spent the intervening years as resident DJ at the openair
club Ku, now Privilege. After 30 years in Ibiza, Pippi is now an island institution and this summer can
be heard in residence at Pacha, Jockey Club in Salinas, Santos in Playa D’en Bossa, and also playing
Glitterbox at Space. Pippi’s previous recording successes have included house anthems The Original
‘I Luv U Baby’ and B-Tribe ‘Fiesta Fatal’, both worldwide dance hits.
Pippi says: “The purpose of this album is to take the listener on a journey through Ibiza’s beautiful
Balearic musical heritage, deeply and strongly influenced by black music, African, Mediterranean
and Middle Eastern sounds and culture. The album was made in collaboration with musicians and
producers to fulfil my dream of offering the audience a more faithful recreation of the true
Mediterranean sound.”
Music For Dreams’ founder Kenneth Bager says: "In Pippi’s debut album, he has in essence captured
the true spirit of the marvellous island Ibiza! For some DJs and producers, music is more than just their
passion or occupation - it’s the reason for their existence, the thing that keeps their world turning. DJ
Pippi is that special breed.”
