Back in 2020, when the world pressed pause, I was asking myself what role music could play in a moment of global stillness. Clubs were closed, dance floors silent, and the familiar rhythm of daily life was replaced with uncertainty and a strange, collective hush.

When most people think of Ibiza, they picture big nights, bigger clubs, and the soundtrack that defined a generation of dance-floors. But there’s another rhythm to this island – slower, softer, and rooted in its landscapes, people, and hidden corners.

One of the joys of running NuNorthern Soul is discovering artists who bring something fresh and heartfelt to the Balearic sound. JILO is one of those.
