Rebirth Records Tribute: A musical tribute to Alfredo Fiorito, the Argentine-born DJ whose open-minded "anything goes" approach at Amnesia (1983-1999) gave birth to the Balearic sound. From pop to house, new wave to reggae, Alfredo played everything, crossing lines between straight and gay, working class and posh. This compilation captures the eclectic spirit of Ibiza's golden era.

DJ Alfredo

Argentine-born DJ who moved to Ibiza in 1976. Started at clubs like Be Bop and Estrella before his legendary 1983-1999 residency at Amnesia.

Pioneered the "Balearic" sound — eclectic mixing of pop, house, new wave, reggae, and acid house. Played the sunset slot when Amnesia was open-air.

Key Anthems

Elkin & Nelson - Jibaro: The definitive Balearic anthem. Electra cover on FFRR Balearic Beats Vol.1.

It's Immaterial - Driving Away From Home: Leftfield indie classic that became an Ibiza staple.

Mr. Fingers - Mystery Of Love: Deep house blueprint, Larry Heard's 1985 masterpiece.
