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.
