Faruk Gandji - Untold Eivissa
Review by Nicolas-Baptiste BELIARD
Untold Eivissa is a mesmerizing album by Faruk Gandji that explores the sounds and rhythms of Ibiza. The album features nine tracks that are infused with Faruk's signature style of combining traditional instruments with electronic beats, creating a unique and captivating sound.
The album opens with "Eivissa," a track that sets the tone for the rest of the album with its pulsing beat and haunting melody. The following tracks, "Sant Joan," "Ses Salines," and "Cala Llonga," continue to build on this theme, with each track adding its own unique flavor to the mix.
Faruk's use of traditional instruments, such as the guitar and flute, adds a layer of authenticity to the album, while the electronic beats keep the music fresh and modern. The result is a perfect blend of old and new, traditional and contemporary.
One standout track on the album is "Es Vedrà," a hauntingly beautiful track that showcases Faruk's skill as a composer and arranger. The track is a perfect example of the album's overall theme of exploring the sounds and rhythms of Ibiza.

- Description from front side of flexi:
- Ibiza in 2015 represents a myriad of both right and wrong. We mainly tend to hear about the wrong. For many people it has become the epitome of club culture gone mad but it actually holds a treasure of forgotten stories that shows us a time where post-Franco freedom gave birth to an unmatched era of partying, creativity and style at the legendary KU club between 1981 and 1987, before the well documented arrival of the British invasion who has subsequently changed and dominated Ibizan nightlife. As the first in a series of interviews, we sat down with FARUK GANDJI, one of the first party organisers on the island, a main player at KU, and one of the last holders of the bastion of truth. Accompanied by a series of posters made by Ill Studio, inspired by magazines and paraphernalia of the time, we give you DEEWEE005.
