VARIOUS - 20 Year Anniversary Compilation [2CD]

Format: 2 x CD
Catalogue No.: IIBCOM003
Release Date: 28 Sep 2026
Genre: Balearic/Downtempo

Two decades on, Is It Balearic? continue to ask a gloriously impossible-to-answer question while remaining one of the most trusted curators in the game and always underlining that Balearic is less a genre than a state of mind. Across this essential anniversary collection, founders Timm Sure and Ampo trace the label's journey through sun-drenched house, cosmic disco, dub excursions and blissful leftfield grooves with standouts from key artists including Coyote, Max Essa, Leo Mas, Chris Coco and Prins Thomas. Rather than a simple retrospective, the compilation celebrates two decades of impeccable taste while championing timeless music over fleeting trends. A fitting tribute to a label whose influence cannot really be overstated.
