So this file has been in my collection for absolute ages. I must’ve found it browsing one of those early music sharing platforms, way way way back in the before times when the internet was new and good and people shared files named with no regard to correctness and “britney_and_christina_tits.mov” was probably goatse.
Any original information about it has of course been lost in several disk migrations, so the fact that it is tagged as “Ayla - Ibiza” means basically nothing. It is called “Ayla - Ibiza.mp3” on my disk and I’m pretty sure it was called that when I got it because I don’t know why I would have randomly decided it was by Ayla. Ayla doesn’t seem to have anything called “Ibiza”, but it might be a remix by Ayla of some other artist’s work, maybe? The title “Ibiza” seems logical since there’s this deep masculine manly man’s voice saying “Ibiza”. Shazam gives me a different incorrect result every time I try, other apps I’ve tried (SoundHound, SongSherlock, etc) have no clue what this is.
I’m not as destitute and poor anymore as I was back when I got the file, I’d actually pay for a legitimate copy, but I can’t. Help a (surely very poor) artist get my money?
(By uploading this file to my webspace, am I “distributing” it in the legal sense? Dang.)
edit: Okay, I made it a 2:30 sample.

Don’t know the tune but I did find a year old Reddit thread with someone looking for something which sounds similar (maybe it was you?)

There are some suggestions there, that weren’t what that OP was looking for, but might help you. Good luck!
It wasn’t me so that is indeed interesting, thank you!
No problem, I wish I could help more! If you find it do let us know 😁
I’ve heard a lot of trance but have never heard this bass line or breakdown. The quality of the bass loop sounds amateurish which might mean it was a no-name artist getting their stuff out or a very obscure remix of something.
The nostalgic file share pops of missing data are something I have not heard for quite some time.
I remember Ayla from back in the day! This doesn’t really sound like them, though.
You could probably upload a 30 second sample.
I should, shouldn’t I? Let me get on that. In the mean time, the entire thing is still up at the link in my OP.
Edit: sample has been uploaded.
Shazam identifies the original song as Silent Breed - Sync-In. There is a DJ Tomcraft Mix (1998) that has a similar voice, though not the Ibiza word.
By uploading this file to my webspace, am I “distributing” it in the legal sense? Dang.
Technically yes. A slightly riskier and whackier idea would be to try and upload it to a more popular site, and wait to see if it gets flagged by ContentID or if you get a DMCA takedown notice from someone.
Not recommending this course of action, just saying that it is a possible one.
