Remembering Spanish DJ José Padilla

The World

It’s been a while since many of us felt blissed out — maybe since the middle of March. So here’s a tribute to a man who recently left us, but brought bliss to thousands — probably more like millions — of people. José Padilla is a DJ who for years worked the turntables on the Spanish resort island of Ibiza.
