Ministry Of Sound & Pacha Ibiza Club Classics 2 (Mixed by Audio K9) (2024)

Happy Good Friday everyone! I hope you have a nice day off. And if you are working, hopefully you will have a short day, and can go home earlier. And while you are driving home, or already at home, let me show you this mix, which you can play, whenever and wherever you are. And it's a big one. It focusses on both Ministry Of Sound, and Pacha. Seeing as you are reading this review, you are aware of both or either of these famous clubs. I've been to one, but not the other. But obviously I know them both.

The day might be a tad windy, but at least it's not cold. So turn up the temperature by playing this mix out loud. To be honest, this wasn't the first mix I encountered by this DJ, but the second one. The first one was great (which was the first instalment of this mix series), but the second one just had more bangers in it, so I had to choose that one instead. And you are about to take a look at the tracklist and know the importance of this mix.

I grew up with mostly MOS albums. And once I went there, I knew it was a great location for dance music lovers. I've heard of Pacha in Ibiza but never been. But at least the music travelled all over the world, to a little country called the Netherlands, in which I resided, and came to love music from both clubs. To be fair, it wasn't just the Dutch that loved the music, it was the whole world! the tunes selected for this mix were played in every club, all over the world. And they are still highly appreciated, even in 2025, many years after the songs were released.

It's fantastic to hear these songs again. But truth be told, they do appear on the radio and in other mixes a lot. But these versions might not be the ones you encounter as often as you want. AUDIO K9, the person who made this mix, has done a smashing job. 28+ records in a 2 hour and 10 minute long mix.

The mix contains the right hits to make you feel nice and cosy, and they will remind you of the forgotten days, long gone behind us. The years when these songs dominated the whole world, and got us off our chairs and dancing until the Sun emerged. And be honest, these are insane tracks, right? They have become timeless classics, many years later.

I love the selection, and a few of my all time favourite records have made it into this mix. ''My My My'' is one of those. ''Make A Move On Me'', ''Put 'Em High'' a definite smasher, but the one that made me feel all warm inside, it has to be ''PATT''. A true dancefloor smasher from back in the day. It will remain in your head for hours, or even days. Catchy? Yes, 100%!

A fantastic mix. Perfect to listen to on this slightly windy and less interesting Good Friday. But AUDIO K9 will surely turn up the heat in your house with this splendid mix!
