[IBIZA] – On June 5, Brazilian-born producer Paul Ross — a key figure in Ibiza’s music scene and founder of the renowned Ibiza BPM Radio — will unveil one of the most honest, profound, and personal chapters of his career with the release of the ‘On The Way’ EP, published through the international label Where The Shadow Ends (helmed by the acclaimed duo Madraas).
After 26 years living on the island and serving as one of its foremost ambassadors and guardians of sound to the world, Paul Ross moves away from commercial clichés to craft a four-track work that serves as a direct bridge to Ibiza’s mystical and spiritual essence. At the heart of this sonic ecosystem lies the violão / acoustic guitar, a living instrument that naturally connects the rhythmic warmth of his native Brazil with the depth of the Balearic spirit, elevating the EP into a true piece of musical craftsmanship within the Deep and Organic House circuit.

🎵 A Sensory Journey Through Four Sonic Chapters
-
On The Way
The title track and first single. It represents anticipation, the journey itself, and that golden light on the horizon when traveling toward a destination. A track where subtle groove embraces acoustic guitar strings through a hypnotic progression.
2. Es Vedrà
A tribute to pure mysticism. Inspired by Ibiza’s iconic rocky islet, this track
dives into shadows, earthly energies, and deep synthesizers wrapped in a nocturnal atmosphere.
3. I Need Your Touch (ft. Esther Bauman)
The emotional climax of the release. A textured collaboration where
Bauman’s elegant and deeply moving vocals merge seamlessly with the
instrumentation, expressing the universal human need for connection,
warmth, and belonging.
4. Looking For The Perfect Moment
The final destination. That exact second when time stands still during a
Mediterranean sunset. A golden closing chapter that consolidates the
sophisticated and immersive sound that defines the entire EP.
