Last night at Glitterbox it was all about the music, with staggeringly talented line-up of house and disco talent. Headlining, Julio Bashmore make his  Glitterbox debut, dropping plenty of cuts from his disco-inflected and highly anticipated forthcoming debut LP Knockin’ Boots. We also welcomed DJ Spen for his first ever Glitterbox set: people were blown away by the extraordinary turntablism of the former Basement Boy. The Revenge, Simon Dunmore and Mr. Doris completed one of the strongest line-ups you’re likely to find anywhere in Ibiza. If you weren’t there, you missed out!

Ahead of the party we spoke to Julio Bashmore about his album, Glitterbox and why he’s changed his view on giving interviews…

Knockin’ Boots has been some time in the making – are you ready for its release?

It’s all good.  I’m doing a lot of promo work which is something I’ve never done before, but the early vibes are positive.  Plus I’m managing to squeeze all my gigs in so things are going well.

On promos – your reputation for giving few interviews precedes you.  What has changed?

When I started up I really didn’t think that I had much to say.  I was only 20 and didn’t know what shit I was doing.  But now, five years on, I’ve been through lots of ups and downs, and have a lot of experiences to talk about.  I’ve grown up and my musical ideas have developed – I have plenty of shit to discuss!  I don’t mind interviews at all, and the current promo has been fine.
So,  Knockin’ Boots...

The big challenge was to avoid the pitfalls of the conventional dance album.  It’s so easy to fall into the trap of releasing a collection of singles.  I was also driven by past experiences to create something fully-rounded.  There was a lot of pre-imagined opinion around the release of my track ‘Duccy’, for example; a lot of negative reaction.  The album is an opportunity to provide a fuller picture of who I am.  It took three-and-a-half years to make.  There were points at which I could have released it before but I wanted to release it in the right climate.  It’s a diverse project; it shows the diversity of house music and avoids pigeon holes.  There’s a better climate for this sort of record today.

You’ve involved a fantastic line-up of guests and collaborators...

Yes, building relationships is really important I think.  The new single ‘Holding On’ features vocalist Sam Dew [a deliciously summery sophisti-slice of looped disco].  The album also features the likes of Bixby, Seven Davis Jr, J’Danna and Julie Mendoza.  I’ve learned a lot recording it.

How exactly would you say your house sound has evolved?

I have always moved around with the house music I make.  Now, my sound is in the place I always wanted it to be in.  There are hints of early Roulé as well as of early Chicago - but not just Larry Heard; I mean the sorts of Chicago artists that inspired a lot of that early French house music... artists like Glenn Underground for example.

On to Ibiza.... You’re DJing for Defected a bit this summer – both Glitterbox and Defected In The House.

I didn’t fall in love with Ibiza immediately.  I’ve grown to love it.  Last year I played at Space [home to Glitterbox this year] and started to embrace things there.  It’s the same with Amnesia [current home to Defected In The House, where Bashmore has already played two dates over June and July].  Having done so many gigs and festivals in places like the US where the soundsystems are so poor it’s actually a joy coming to Ibiza now.  The soundsystems in clubs like Space and Amnesia are incredible; and then the crowds are really good...there’s a great spirit.  Experiences like that help me become a better DJ, without doubt.

What do you like to play on?

It’s basically a pair of [Technics] 1210s, some CDJs and a mixer with shit loads of delay effects.  I also need a huge monitor as I’m going a little deaf!

Seriously?

It’s actually not a big deal now.  But there was one point a while back when my ears were still ringing two weeks after a gig and I was like ‘what the fuck is happening?!’  I play it safe now.  Things have gotten a lot better.  I use ear plugs and ensure I have the right set-up in the studio.  To be honest, artists often develop hearing problems in the studio rather than the club... you’re in that environment so much.  So it’s just important to be safe with everything.

What’s happening with Broadwalk?

It’s onwards and upwards.  I didn’t want to set up one of those labels that just picks up tracks from Soundcloud.  I don’t like that.  I’m not even sure that those labels actually speak to the artists or anything.  I’ve always admired labels that listen to their artists and nurture their talent.  They’re the labels I love.  I’ve tried to do the same thing with Broadwalk.  I’m about building lasting relationships.  Ideally I’d like to be releasing three or four records per year with an artist and putting out collaborations too.  But I can’t complain, I’m happy with the progress the label is making.

Where does Julio Bashmore head in the long-term?

I’ve learned a few valuable things over the past few years – mainly, it’s important to keep building relationships in the future.  There are a lot of challenges in our industry so being able to trust good people around you is essential to your continuation.  Right now though I’m concentrating on the new album and looking forward to its release.  I’m feeling good about it and what it says about my music.  Albums are always great things to make.  There’s a lot of focus on tracks these days but the album format allows you to fully express yourself.  I grew up listening to the albums of artists I loved so I was always going to aspire to making albums myself.  It makes total sense.

La isla de Ibiza es mundialmente conocida por su belleza, su alma y su música. Todo es posible en este paraíso de la fiesta. La isla alberga algunos de los mejores clubes del mundo, super fiestas en la playa y los mejores eventos de música electrónica underground. Cualquier DJ que se precie sueña con pinchar en Ibiza y muchos acuden aquí cada verano para hacer de la isla su hogar durante los meses estivales.

El pasado martes 21 de julio tuvo lugar uno de los mayores eventos de la temporada... Music Is Revolution de Carl Cox volvió a la isla en su tercera semana con uno de un line up de primera categoría. La programación de Coxy reúne los mejores talentos de la industria y anoche fue muestra de ello. Los asistentes pudieron disfrutar con las sesiones de Cassy, ​​Marco Carola, Catz n Dogz, Alan Fitzpatrick, y por supuesto el propio COXY...

Listos para bailar, fuimos directos a la Sunset Terrace. Al entrar, se notaba en el ambiente que iba a ser una noche muy especial. Todo el mundo moviéndose bajo los rimos deep y groovy de Catz N Dogz. Se podía ver al dúo polaco disfrutando tras los platos mientras calentaban a los asistentes para lo que estaba por llegar....

No nos podíamos perder a Nic Fanciulli, así que nos dirigimos a la mítica terraza ansiosos por verlo en acción. Es un artista que siempre ha dado lo máximo de sí mismo, sin decepcionar a sus seguidores. La terraza cubierta de Space se llenó rápidamente con Fanciulli, que tejió una sesión técnicamente perfecta y con muchísima personalidad, cosechando aplausos por parte de un público entregado.

De vuelta a la Main Room, Cassy estaba reventando la pista de baile. La residente de Berlín – y actualmente de Ibiza – sabe cómo mover a los clubbers con su estilo sin igual. Tener a alguien del talento de Cassy y disfrutar de su perfección Techno es todo un regalo. De hecho, contar con la colaboración de alguien que actúa regularmente en Berghain es una verdadera bendición.

El próximo en aparecer fue el mandamás italiano. Poco a poco se iba viendo la figura de Marco Carola preparándose tras los platos. Es algo único ver a los mejores Dj’s del mundo actuando en las fiestas de otros compañeros. No hay nada comparable a la sintonía entre dos artistas colaborando por diversión. Como ya nos tiene acostumbrados, Marco ofreció su característico y contundente Techno creando una sesión memorable.

A las 4:00h la Main Room estaba del todo llena. Las paredes vibraban, el sistema de sonido sonaba mejor que nunca y todo parecía estar listo para recibir a Carl Cox. Después de abrazarse con Carola, Coxy tomó el control de la sala para recordar quien es el que manda en esta fiesta.

El set de Cox mantuvo un alto nivel hasta el final. El momento más especial de la noche llegó sobre las 6:00, cuando los dos reyes del Techno pincharon back to back. ¿Hay alguien superior en el Olimpo de la música electrónica? Los Dioses de la escena supieron conservar el buen rollo de la fiesta hasta las primeras horas de la mañana. Sin duda alguna, todo el que no estuvo presente en este evento sold out se va a arrepentir de no haber venido.

Music Is Revolution es incomparable a cualquier fiesta en la isla. Es una residencia que tiene algo único. La música, el ambiente, el lugar, la gente… Está claro que Music Is Revolution – The Next Phase será la triunfadora de Ibiza 2015.

Compra ya tus entradas para Carl Cox en Space Ibiza y disfruta de las sesiones de Coxy, Nicole Moudaber, Guti (live), y muchos más artistas. Date prisa, ¡otro sold out está al llegar!

If there is an important date on the Space Ibiza party calendar apart from the prestigious Opening and Closing dates, it’s birthday.  Last summer it turned a quarter century and it continues adding years to its outstanding trajectory with the commemoration of its 26^th Anniversary.

Since Pepe Roselló founded the club 1989, he and the entire team that has accompanied him in this adventure have managed to make Space Ibiza become a cornerstone in the history of electronic music. Year after year, we are reminded that the passion and dedication keeps alive one of the best entertainment experiences that can be lived.

On Sunday, July 26^th, the club of Playa d’en Bossa will open its doors from 8pm to welcome a loyal audience that are willing to return to be part of this important event. Twelve hours of fun, 12 DJs and 3 rooms at full capacity to enjoy the best music.

On this special occasion, the residence of Vagabundos will merge with a line up representing many of the influences that have shaped the musical personality of the club along several generations of artists. The quality and good taste will reign in the Main Room at the hands of Luciano, Josh Wink and Gianni Callipari. Moreover, the great Erick Morillo, Tania Vulcano b2b Jose de Divina, M.A.N.D.Y and Javi Bora will remind us why the covered Terrace is one of the most magical rooms on the planet. The Sunset Terrace will feature veteran Alfredo, Camilo Franco, Eziquiel and Los Refrescos.completing an excellent program.

There are things in life that you cannot miss and being a part of 26^th Anniversary celebration of Space Ibiza is one of them. See you on Sunday, July 26^th to blow out the candles with us. Tickets are already on sale on the Space Ibiza website.

After the success of the Ibiza Gay Pride, RAW CHANGE came back to Space Ibiza last July 15^th offering its transgressive proposal of every Wednesday.

So many feelings were felt that it is almost impossible to summarize in just a few words. The Sunset Terrace opened at 11pm with Vallès, the young DJ from Ibiza that is getting more attention for his performance at Sonar and the releases of his EP ‘St.Lucía’. His House with touches of Jazz became the perfect prelude to the peak that would arrive much later.

Between spectacular Drag Queens, Juan Gomez and Yan M! Kale adapted to the environment that was illogical in any corner of the room and accelerated the rhythm of the music.

Already in the Terraza, David Moreno and his proven expertise to choose the hottest tracks – DJ at Ibiza Global Radio – increased the energy of an audience that wanted to lose their minds if only it were for one night. With the emergence of the Valencian Edu Imbernon – one of the few Spaniards who have spun at the Coachella festival – the madness was completely broken. ‘Spectral’, his latest track with Droog was received with a flood of arms into the air.

Finally, one of the major artistic duos on the island this summer, Javi Bora b2b Jose de Divina, managed to reach the clubbers uninhibited musical climax. The combination of the Balearic beats by Divina and the exquisite selection by Bora was the magic touch to this magnificent closing.

The attraction between RAW CHANGE and your mood to party continues. Buy your ticket for July 22^nd at Space Ibiza and agree that you will come to enjoy sessions by Chus+Ceballos, Wally Lopez and many other guest DJs.
