Bar Lounge Classics: Vol 2 (2003)Our customers love these import compilations of chillout music. We play them in our bar and garden and they say it reminds them of being on holiday.

Planet Patrol: The Sunset Sessions (2009) This bespoke mix was compiled by DJ Mole (originally from Woodbridge) and his Planet Patrol creative team. Well known on the international Festival and DJ-ing circuits, we’re hoping to bring a Planet Patrol event to Aqua Eight.

Best of Sade (1992)My favourite track is Smooth Operator and I love the original video, shot in London’s Cafe de Paris. An 80’s icon that takes me back to my school years!

Red Hot Chili Peppers: Californication (1999)Ok, so the content’s a little naughty in places (Parental Advisory Warning, definitely), but I can’t fault the quality of the songwriting. I play this LOUDLY in my car and all those regular journeys down the A12 between our restaurants go much faster!

Destination Lounge: New York City (2007)A compilation of ambient music that perfectly captures the moods, sounds and feelings of the city that never sleeps. One for late nights.
