An emotional arc designed to reflect the progression of an evening at the venue.

To commemorate a decade as one of Ibiza’s most iconic musical sanctuaries, Hostal La Torre announce ‘La Torre Ibiza Volumen Cinco’, a new compilation curated by long-standing residents Pete Gooding and Mark Barrott. Released on June 27th on CD and double vinyl, the 15-track collection captures the spirit of the venue that has come to define the golden hour soundtrack on the island’s west coast.

Since opening its doors in 2015, La Torre has established itself as a bastion of Balearic culture, perched on the cliffs overlooking the sea, where music flows with the sun rather than the clock. The fifth volume in the celebrated La Torre series is a journey through Brazilian soul, ambient electronics, classic deep house, orchestral minimalism and sunset Detroit techno – an emotional arc designed to reflect the progression of an evening at the venue.

From timeless icons like Nina Simone, Mazzy Star, Talk Talk (with the Spirit of Eden closer, “Wealth”) and Boards of Canada, to vanguard artists such as Auntie Flo, Eden Burns and µ-Ziq (aka Mike Paradinas), Volumen Cinco weaves together deep classics with leftfield discoveries. Mark Barrott contributes an all-new exclusive, ‘When Devils Become Gods’, while the compilation closes with a rare gem from Yellow Magic Orchestra’s Yukihiro Takahashi. Also featured is Software’s ‘Present Voice’, a quietly powerful homage to the late José Padilla, the spiritual architect of Ibiza’s sunset sound.

Volumen Cinco is more than a listening experience – it’s a tribute to La Torre’s philosophy: open-hearted, fluid in genre, rooted in place and time. Each track is carefully sequenced to evoke a feeling, a shift in light, or a shared memory under the fading sun.

Over the years La Torre has played host to some of the most influential names in Balearic and electronic music, from José Padilla, Alfredo and Jon Sa Trinxa to DJ Harvey, David Holmes, Lovefingers, Heidi Lawden, Wolf Müller, Don Carlos and Phil Mison. With each summer season and each release, the venue continues to build a musical legacy that has garnered praise from Resident Advisor, Phonica Records, Juno and Piccadilly Records, regularly appearing in their end-of-year charts.

As Test Pressing wrote: “La Torre is not a party, it is a place of pilgrimage. It feels almost sacred.” That spirit resonates deeply within this anniversary compilation – a celebration of music, community, and connection spanning a decade.

La Torre Ibiza Volumen Cinco is dedicated to the artists, friends, collaborators and guests who have shaped its story so far, and to all who continue to gather, listen, and lose track of time as the sun dips below the horizon.
