I built and ran this website between 2000 and 2001, combining passion for popular music and programming. It was listed by MTV's now defunct MusicNewswire as one of the then nascent web's top twenty sources, alongside Billboard and VH1. The most exciting part of it — for a 13/14-year-old excited by new music — was receiving scores of pre-release CDs from record companies. The entire project was written entirely from scratch (frameworks and libraries were not the norm back then!) in PHP linking to a MySQL database, with HTML as well as a little CSS and JavaScript for the frontend; the code is available here.

Sunset Ibiza
1 June 2001 | 0:00:00 GMT/UTC

Sunset Ibiza The Ibiza season is nearly upon us, known for its wild nights of clubbing hedonism, it is also famous for its easy going daytime bars and beaches where you can seriously relax watching stunning sunsets. This compilation album is about the latter.

Is this just another one of those Ibiza compilation albums that seem to come out about this time every year? At first glance it seems so but a good look at the track listing and a listen to the album will show you otherwise. The 'chill out' tracks have been chosen carefully, they have also been mixed - unlike most albums of this genre - mixed quite well.

You won't have heard of all the tracks, but they all work to create a chilled out mood.

Tracks that you might have heard include Moments In Love (Art of Noise), At The River (Groove Armada), Windowlicker (Aphex Twin), Good Life (Inner City) and Adagio For Strings (William Orbit). You'll also hear tracks that you have heard before but never known artist and title.

Not what you might expect from an Ibiza album. It's very good.
