Ibiza 2012 Special
What is your favourite memory of Ibiza 2012?
“Playing the Def Mix 25 Year Anniversary Party at Pacha, Ibiza with the Defected crew was a blast. Honestly was one of the best nights I’ve had at Pacha.”
Tune of the summer?
“Franco De Mulero & Daniel Trim Feat. Martina Camargo ‘Me Robaste El Sueno’ on Dirty Soul.”
Most overplayed record of the summer?
“Hmmmm – might have been one of those big room EDM tunes that I have no clue the name of.”
Favourite resident DJ on the island?
“Angel Linde from Pacha.”
Why is Ibiza still the best party location in the world?
“Cause it’s still relavent and new faces arrive to the isle each year ready to party. Plus the isle offers sun, relaxation and full on parties!”
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…
“I suppose there’s room for everyone. As long as you’re passionate about what you do then there’s no reason to worry about anything else. They’ll always be the flip side of the coin but I agree it’s really split, more than ever.”
What new party caused the biggest splash in their debut summer this year?
“Can’t really say as I didn’t go out much during my stay. Rest was needed to continue the summer tour in a healthy state.”
Favourite restaurant and beach in Ibiza?
“Can Pilot Restaurant – Carretera Eivissa a Sant Antoni San Rafael Ibiza.”
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?
“I think it’s great and I embrace this fully. There are many adults on the isle that don’t go to clubs so I can see them attending events like this as well.”
What is the one record that will always remind you of Ibiza…?
“Masters at Work Feat. India ‘To Be In Love’.”
Best venue in Ibiza and why?
“Hands down Pacha, Ibiza – it’s a beautiful venue with sexy people and offers some of the best nights on isle.”
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 roads are great now and I’m a fan of gettign around quickly but it takes away from the island feel.”
What nationality are the craziest people on the dancefloor?
“Italians do it better!!”
Breakthrough artist of 2012?
“Maceo Plex although he’s been doing it for a while now – it’s just his music crossed boarders in 2012…”
If you had to pick one person to go out clubbing with in Ibiza, who would it be?
“Quentin Harris! LOL! He’s a hoot!”
And finally, tell us about your first trip to the white isle…
“My first trip was summer 1998 and I remember being soooo nervous during my set at Pacha. Long story short, the night was a success and I’ve been blessed to return every year since. Memories for life.”
