A deluxe set from the Cocoon label always stands out from the multitude of cookie-cutter mixes released each year. Now 10 years in, the 2009 edition is a demonstration of duality and a demo of how far Ibiza life has come. Where Deep Dish once ruled with their dizzy prog-trance, now Dubfire stands. One half of the revered duo, Ali Shirazinia goes for the throat, with mammoth drops and explorations of 3-D sound. The unreleased gems like Sebrok’s “Vision” and Reset Robot’s “Do The Slot” teeter on the edge of tribal-soul. At its height, Dubfire gives respect to Loco Dice with his sheering, peak-holding remix of Tiga’s “Beep Beep.” Dice (that’s Italian, so DEE-chay) takes up on the second disc with a deliberately different take. If Dubfire’s mix is for the peak hour, Loco Dice should be slotted for the afterparty. Keeping the vibe steady, Dice revs constant, continual beats that go on forever, especially with artists like JPLS, Villalobos and Martinez. His selection is so particular that driving around to it, my friend kept reaching for the booklet insert: “Who is this?” “What’s this?,” etc. until I finally just pulled over and handed her the damn thing.
