Café del Mar Launches First Artist Album With Legendary Electronic Duo Pig&Dan

Marking a bold new chapter in their enduring legacy, Café del Mar sets to release its first-ever artist-led album ‘Journey Within’ crafted by electronic heavyweights Pig&Dan. Released on June 13th, 2025, the album represents an exciting genre shift for both artist and label, fusing Pig&Dan’s signature techno-edged soundtrack with the icon, laid-back, immersive ethos of Café del Mar’s chillout heritage.

 

Globally recognised for defining the chillout and Balearic sound, Café del Mar is renowned for curating captivating sunset experiences and compilations, shaping decades of musical culture far beyond the Balearics where it was born. Now celebrating their 45th anniversary, the revered Ibiza brand embraces a forward-thinking persona, expanding on their formative roots. This new format sets to elevate their legacy through a collaborative vision, starting with Pig&Dan’s‘ Journey Within’. This milestone sets a precedent for artist-led projects under Café del Mar Music, pushing boundaries whilst still honouring its sunset heritage.


Café del Mar’s resident DJ & Music Curator, Ken Fan, echoes the release’s sentiment 

“Pig&Dan sent me this unsigned album last year, and after testing the tracks in my daily sets, the crowd’s reaction said it all. Every time I included them in a mix, people were asking what they were, and Shazaming with no results. It’s a brilliant start to our first artist release at Café del Mar, with more to come. Watch this space.”

 

For Pig&Dan, Journey Within marks an artistic evolution. Broadly known for their high-energy Techno sets on worldwide stages that include Tomorrowland and Awakenings, the creative duo pivots into a more reflective side of their identity with this compilation. The album roots itself into earthy dub textures, featuring warm psychedelia and downtempo soundscapes that create an expansive reimagining of chillout music, anchored with raw depth and emotion.


Pig&Dan share their insights and inspiration 

“We wanted to explore the deeper, more emotive side of our musical identity, stepping away from the club energy to create something that reaches a bit deeper. This album is a journey into our minds, reflecting the influences and organic sounds that have always been part of our creative DNA.” 

 

The album is both evolutionary and explorative in equal measure. With a well-curated mix of tracks and emotions, listeners will be drawn into a journey that amplifies the Ibiza vibe. The first track is a prime example, ‘Can’t Do It On My Own’ instantly sets the album’s soul-searching tone. Built upon rich, layered instrumentation, the track weaves emotive strings and atmospheric synths before breaking into an expressive vocal, elevating the track’s introspective feel. It’s a standout production that bridges Pig&Dan’s underground credibility with Café del Mar’s resilient and emotive storytelling.

This milestone release not only honours Café del Mar’s Balearic heritage, synonymous with chillout and Ibiza’s golden-hour spirit, but also signals a visionary future for the label. With stunning cover art by David Robles, Journey Within captures a deeply personal and forward-thinking sound, setting the tone for a new era of artist-led storytelling under Café del Mar Music.

 

Journey Within will be available June 13th, 2025, on all major streaming platforms.
