Another Café Mambo competition entry - but this is a completely different competition and a completely new mix

I went in a completely different direction for this one: 60 minutes of uplifting piano house, mixing classic hooks and recognisable vocals with newer records and modern remixes, while building the energy across the full hour.

Really happy with how this one came together.

My entry for the ICN x Cafe Mambo Ibiza 2026 mix competition. 60 minutes of uplifting piano house — recognisable vocals, classic piano hooks, modern reworks and current house production, programmed to build from feel-good groove into a high-energy final section. Recorded live...

Around one hour after Spain became world champions, this is what Chaplins looked like. 🇪🇸🏆

Definitely one of the most memorable nights I’ve worked here.

Anyone else in Benidorm that night?

🚨 I NEED YOUR HELP 🚨
I’ve entered the Café Mambo Ibiza 2026 DJ competition for the chance to play one of the world’s most iconic sunset venues.
I actually stopped my first recording 23 minutes in because it wasn’t flowing well enough. With time running out, I changed the order, started again and recorded the full mix from the beginning.
The finished 58-minute version is now live, and I’m genuinely much happier with it.

If you enjoy the mix, the best ways to support it are:

Thank you to everyone who takes the time to listen. Let’s see whether we can get Ash Jenkins into Café Mambo.

Testing a new version of my My Neck, My Back club remix.

This one feels dirtier, tighter and more built for the club, so I’m thinking about adding it to the release schedule.

Release schedule or vault?

Someone challenged me to try playing a vinyl record with a pencil…

So I tested it properly 😂❌

The pencil failed the audition.

What should I try next?

2:30am in Benidorm and the dancefloor was still chanting Freed From Desire 🙌

Some tunes just never fail.

What song always gets everyone going where you are?

No speaker. No needle. Just a £10 note in the groove playing SNAP! - The Power 😂

I tried it in three different places on the record and it played a different part each time.

Reckon a £20 would be louder? What track should I try next?

England 2-1 DR Congo and Benidorm was bouncing straight after the final whistle.

Five songs, flags everywhere, full dancefloor, and the crowd giving proper post-match energy from start to finish.

Which song got the best reaction?

Busy bar, almost full dancefloor, and one of those tracks that gives the whole room a lift.

Bonkers x Zombie Nation energy during a proper Chaplins Benidorm residency night — people dancing, shouting lyrics back, and the room fully up for it.

This is exactly the kind of atmosphere I love playing to.
