Cream Ibiza Mixed By Paul van Dyk sees Paul deliver his first mix album in over two years. Featuring a selection of upfront killers and future summer anthems, this is an album that aims to reflect Paul’s legendary DJ sets from Cream Ibiza, at Amnesia, Cream’s spiritual Ibiza home.
The album will see Paul mix the real, main room, sound of Cream Ibiza that has powered the Cream nights every summer, attracting hundreds of thousands of clubbers over the years from around the globe to sample the unique Amnesia atmosphere.
Cream founder James Barton comments:
“Paul van Dyk goes way back with Cream, not only in Ibiza but also in the UK and internationally so to have him mix an album for Cream Ibiza, one of our flagship summer events, is the culmination of a great & long relationship.
