Ibiza 2012 Special
What is your favourite memory of Ibiza 2012?
“Playing and dancing all night long at Pacha. Waking up at 3pm, eating at the Fish Shack and heading to straight to Cala Conte for a swim. Then sunset cocktails at Sunset Ashram followed by Luciano and co. at Ushuaia and finishing up at the Hot Creations party at DC-10. Was a pretty sold 30 hours!!”
Tune of the summer?
“‘Insane’ by Charles Ramirez.”
Most overplayed record of the summer?
“A dead heat: Avicii – ‘Levels’ and Goyte – ‘Somebody That I Used To Know’.”
Favourite resident DJ on the island?
“Luciano.”
Why is Ibiza still the best party location in the world?
“Come on, it has everything. Amazing beaches, beautiful restaurants, a great mix of people and it’s the epicentre of dance music.”
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…
Yes this is very true, although its funny how quickly trends change these days. I guess the real issue is that those big room bangers have become so incredibly commercial that the natural reaction is to head in the other direction – which is why there is this split. I have a feeling next year will be very similar.
What new party caused the biggest splash in their debut summer this year? And why?
“That would have to be Richie Hawtins night, Enter at Space. Great artwork, cool guests, sake bar, massive turnout, dope night. There was also a lot of buzz around Sankeys, unfortunately we didn’t have time to check it out but we will next year for sure.”
Favourite restaurant and beach in Ibiza?
Restaurant: The Fish Shack or Juan Andrea
Beach: Cala Comte
What is the one record that will always remind you of Ibiza…?
“Strangely enough its probably ‘Blue Monday’ by New Order. The first time I ever went to Space, many moons ago, it was the biggest tune of the night and it just stuck in my mind.”
Best venue in Ibiza and why?
“Well that would have to be Pacha. It’s the oldest club on the island, it’s not too crazy big and because of the layout has lots of nooks to hang in, dance in or snog in . There’s a rooftop bar which is dope, an outside/downstairs area with no music and of course some of the best nights in the world . Can you tell I like it? Also love DC-10 – intimate, loud and with great nights like Circo Loco and Paradise.”
What nationality are the craziest people on the dancefloor?
“There seem to be crazy people all around this crazy world of ours but this year our pick of the bunch is Serbians. We played Exit Festival this year and they were nuts!!”
Breakthrough artist of 2012?
“Eats Everything.”
If you had to pick one person to go out clubbing with in Ibiza, who would it be?
“Angus McDonald.”
And finally, tell us about your first trip to the white isle…
“You know what, that is something we’ve been trying to forget for a long time…let’s just say it was not so pretty…”
