Soundtrack of the White Island: Unpacking the Timeless Trance Records of Ibiza

Featuring timeless Balearic-leaning classics from Chicane, Solarstone, Tiësto, Three Drives, Energy 52, Ferry Corsten, Armin van Buuren, Rank 1, Svenson, Gabriel & Dresden — and many more.

After charting the history of trance by country, Hypnotised — the definitive series conceived by Arjan Rietveld (author of Hypnotised: A Journey Through Trance Music) expands its remit. On May 5, 2026, the franchise launches a sister installment that leaves national borders behind to follow mood, place and atmosphere: Hypnotised – Balearic Trance.

This three-disc anthology traces the sun-drenched arc of Balearic trance, connecting genre-defining anthems with deeper crate discoveries. From the eternal shores of Three Drives’ “Greece 2000” and Solarstone’s wistful “The Calling” to York’s cinematic “Reachers Of Civilization,” the collection balances recognisable peaks with rare gems such as Dove Beat’s Transformer-tinged “La Paloma,” Goldenscan’s chiming “Sunrise,” and the holiday ache of Mr. Sam vs Tim Coltrane’s “One More Day.”

The result is an immersive audio journey through sunset culture, coastal atmospheres and lost-summer nostalgia. Across 27 tracks and nearly four hours of music, Hypnotised – Balearic Trance captures both festival mainstage moments and late-afternoon chillouts — the perfect soundtrack for sunlit memory and ocean-side reverie.
