Remastered. No words needed... 2026 Reissue. 30th Anniversary

Next year, the iconic anthem Cafe Del Mar will celebrate its 30th anniversary, a milestone that will be celebrated with a series of new remixes along with the best existing remixes in specially remastered versions. In September, the vinyl release series will launch a vinyl-only remastered version of the original mix, as well as the most well-known version of this classic, the iconic Three 'N One Remix.
Almost 30 years ago, Paul M, aka DJ Kid Paul, recording under the name Energy 52, introduced an unsuspecting audience to a record that would go on to define club culture for an entire generation of dance music fans. Named after Ibiza's legendary sunset spot, Café Del Mar broke down the boundaries between underground and mainstream, charting in the UK singles charts on three different occasions and named "best track of all time" by Mixmag at the turn of the new millennium. In terms of cultural and emotional impact in dance music, it's hard to find a record that comes close.
Café Del Mar has become a symbol of the most euphoric and hedonistic pleasures of the dancefloors, in Ibiza and around the world, and has been remixed by some of the biggest names in the industry. Now, 30 years after its original release, Superstition Records will release a new series of releases, featuring unreleased remixes and remastered versions of some of the many remixes from the last three decades. The vinyl-only remastered version of the original and the Three 'N One mixes will kick off the series, with further details on the rest of the series announced in the coming weeks.
In 2021, Paul Van Dyk's Café Del Mar remixes launched a series of vinyl and digital reissues for the Superstition Records label, after a hiatus of almost 20 years. From 1993 to 2003, Superstition Records was a groundbreaking label in the field of techno, tech-house and trance and released some of the biggest and most revered records of the early German electronic scene.[distribution factsheet]
