A New Vinyl-Only Listening Bar in Ibiza Pays Tribute to DJ Alfredo

A new vinyl-only listening bar in Ibiza has just opened, and it’s already creating buzz across the island’s cultural scene. Named Urusai Sunset Bar, the venue sits within the beach restaurant El Silencio and merges high-fidelity sound, vinyl-only music, and a refined Japanese-inspired dining concept.

A Tribute to Balearic Legacy and Japanese Vinyl Culture

Urusai claims to be the first audiophile bar in Ibiza, taking inspiration from Japan’s jazz kissa bars — intimate venues dedicated to deep listening and exceptional sound quality. The space includes a custom HiFi soundsystem and a hybrid analog-digital mixer, focusing exclusively on vinyl programming.

Jaime Fiorito, son of Balearic pioneer DJ Alfredo, curates the music. By doing so, he blends his father’s iconic Balearic legacy with the serene and intentional listening culture of Japan. The result? A sonic experience that values depth over volume.

A Vinyl-Only Lineup You’ll Want to Hear

The bar’s programming features a rotating lineup of handpicked selectors. Guests can expect genre-blending sets of jazz, soul, disco, and Spanish grooves. Names like Jazz N Palms, Ryan O Gorman, Luca Averna, and DJ Pippi will appear in the opening weeks.

Everything played at Urusai follows the vinyl-only format, creating a tactile and immersive listening environment — one that values the warmth and richness of analog sound.

Music Meets Culinary Artistry at El Silencio

Urusai isn’t just about music. The bar offers a carefully crafted Izakaya menu, led by chefs Taku Yuji Mikurya and Romain Littière. Diners can enjoy a fusion of traditional Japanese flavours and Mediterranean ingredients in a relaxed seaside setting.

The launch of Urusai comes just as the UK premieres a new documentary series on Japanese listening bars at Sheffield DocFest. This global spotlight on jazz kissa culture makes Urusai’s concept even more timely and relevant.

With its unique concept, thoughtful execution, and local-meets-global approach, this vinyl-only listening bar in Ibiza is set to become one of the island’s most meaningful musical experiences.
