Ibiza 2012 Special
What is your favourite memory of Ibiza?
“My best memory was in the early 90s…my first time on the ‘isla blanca’…”
Tune of the summer?
“Mat’s MATTARA feat. J.be – ‘Let’s Party’.”
Most overplayed record of the summer?
“Avicii – Levels’.”
Favourite resident DJ on the island?
“My friend JP Candela.”
Why is Ibiza still the best party location in the world?
“Because you have the opportunity to live on a beautiful beach and you have the opportunity to hear the world’s Top DJ all in the same week.”
Ibiza is now split straight down the middle with serious DJs spinning quality house and techno on one side, and DJs playing the big room bangers on the other. Discuss…
“It is the beauty of “isla blanca” – you can listen to various genres of music courtesy of top international DJs, so one can decide what you like best.”
Favourite restaurant and beach in Ibiza?
“As a classic beach…Playa d’en Bossa, the restaurant would be La Terraza (Playa d ‘en Bossa).”
Do you think the 123 Rocktronic Festival that featured the likes of Lenny Kravitz, Elton John, Sting, David Guetta and Tiesto this year is an important addition to the Ibiza summer, or do you think it is a case of one too many party on an already bulging season?
“Pop, rock and hip hop are getting closer to dance music so it’s great that these are big in Ibiza!”
What is the one record that will always remind you of Ibiza…?
“The Chemical Brothers – ‘Hey Boy hey Girl’.”
Best venue in Ibiza and why?
I love to get around the island, but if I have to choose 1 place, I’d pic Bora Bora because it is both beautiful and you have the beach…and fun.”
A lot of money has been spent on the island in recent years improving things, what do you think is the biggest improvement on the island?
“The difference is not very noticeable. We have noted the “economic crisis” whilst on holiday in Ibiza, and as a result of the crisis, there is less chaos and so it seems quieter.”
What nationality are the craziest people on the dancefloor?
“For me , the Spanish people!”
Breakthrough artist of 2012?
“Alesso.”
If you had to pick one person to go out clubbing with in Ibiza, who would it be?
“My best Friend!!”
And finally, tell us about your first trip to the white isle…
“To put it simply and only in a few words…a dream that has become reality. Ibiza for people like me who has been a DJ from the end of the 80s to now be on the main stage of the centre of the nightclub world is amazing…”
