Café del Mar (song)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Café Del Mar" is a song first released in 1993, by the trance project Energy 52. It is named after the famous bar located in Ibiza. Almost instantly recognisable by its distinct melody, its popularity is reflected in the countless remixes that have since been created as well as its being featured on hundreds of CD compilations. The main melody of 'Café Del Mar' is based on Struggle for Pleasure by Belgian composer Wim Mertens.[1]

The song has charted three times in the UK Singles Chart, all featuring remixes by Three 'N One. It first made number 51 in March 1997, a second release (Café Del Mar '98) featuring a Nalin & Kane remix reached number 12 in July 1998, and a further release featuring remixes by Marco V reached number 24 in October 2002.
