As poor as most students are Ibiza is full of them during the summer months, i went to Ibiza most years when i was a student, i have no idea how i managed it looking back, but i did.

In a recent keynote speech in Australia, Tiesto revealed that he probably wont be taking up a full-time residency in Ibiza for 2013, instead probably only doing a few one-off gigs through the summer.

“Next year I’m not sure if I can do it, because it takes a lot out of me to play there from the end of May till the end of September”

Tiesto is seen by a lot of people as one of the biggest Dj’s in the world. For my personal and ever-changing taste, Tiesto was amazing in times gone by but he hasn’t done it for me for a long time now. Hi had his own night in Privilege for a while and the place looked busy. Last year, which was a strange setup for me, he held a residency in Pacha. Love him or not, he has spent the last 10 seasons in Ibiza playing week in week out.

Will you miss Tiesto if he doesn’t play every week in 2013? My only concern, is where will all the Tiesto fans go!

Google plus hasn’t made to much of an impact in the non tech world, however, Some Dj’s and record labels do seem to have taken an interest.

Today (i think) Google communities sprung into life, you can pretty much see them as Facebook Pages. Ive never really jumped onto the facebook page bandwagon and put much effort into it.

I thought i would change that with Google Communities and so i set one up!

Its not an Ibiza Blog community, its just a General Ibiza community, if you have your own blog, business, night, salon, jet pack company in Ibiza, come along and spread the love. Im not sure if everyone has access to but events can be added to the community, with events comes googles Party Mode, which gives real time updates and media from people involved.

Anyone can join in, but i will kick out spammers. Its only been made today so initially a bit thin on the ground in numbers. Let you mates and your mum know about it

Cheers

2013 Ibiza Community

The Ibiza Rocks people must have put in a bit of overtime this year as they have already announced the Headline act for the Ibiza Rocks opening 2013.

The Ibiza Rocks opening 2013 will take place on June 5th, Jake Bugg will be the headline act for the first party of the season. The Ibiza Rocks website has been updated to include all the Ibiza Rocks and W.A.R dates with the acts to be announced. The hotel will be putting gigs on till 30th September in 2013.

Now if there is one thing you can trust with Ibiza Rocks, it is to put on good acts and bands, personally, i have never heard of Jake Bugg before i looked him up today, but before i even looked him up, i had high expectations. They have always gone for emerging talent as well as experienced well-travelled bands and acts.

If you’re a little like me, you can check out his latest track below, although i had no idea who Jake Bugg was, i have heard the two songs ive put down below before so check them out.

Next Tuesday, Mambo play host to a very special night for a great cause. Mambo in The Mix, is a charity event raising money for the Red Cross, and they have something very special lined up.

Planned to coincide with their 18th birthday (eek, they were 5 when i first went!) They have a night of drinks and music planned, with a twist.

On the night you can expect to see the following Artisits:

• Armin Van Buuren
• Paul Van Dyk
• Carl Cox
• Eric Prydz
• Judge Jules
• Roger Sanchez
• Harnan Cattaneo
• Nervo
• Funkagenda
• Guto
• Duane Harden
• Woody Van Eyden
• Adrian Lux
• M.A.N.D.Y
• Mark Fanciulli
• DJ Oliver
• Seth Troxler
• Zdar Of Cassius

All of these Dj’s will be working behind the bar in Mambo at some point throughout the evening. In what would be the most surreal event if it ever happened to you, PVD could be serving you a beer, or Seth Troxler could be mixing your Pimms!

Whats more, you could be playing the music from the Dj booth, while the Dj’s are mixing the drinks! It sounds like Mambos will be a road block on the 18th, but it will be well worth it for your favourite DJ to be serving you, and money being raised for charity.

I think its great these guys have taken time to do this, so return the favour and if you’re in Ibiza next Tuesday, go down and check it out. If you’re not there but would like to contribute, then head over and make a donation on the Mambo website

Last week, Carl Cox was playing live at Sands to celebrate his 50th Birthday, the following night, his set in Space was recorded live for the BBC Essential Mix that went out Saturday just gone. You can still listen listen again to the set, and i recommend you do, listen below or Go to

Bora Bora IS Ibiza to a lot of people…. Well it used to be, In the late 90′s and the early 00′s Bora Bora built its name as the ultimate Ibiza destination, Sun Sea Sand and amazing tunes played all day long on the beach, the idealistic day in Ibiza didn’t get any better.

Over the last 5 years however, for various reasons Bora Bora has been through a lul. The spark had been extinguished, people have still been going and loving it, but for people who remember it pre 2007, it had lost the spark that made it extra special.

But this season, things are looking up, Bora Bora has started to catch my attention again, i don’t live in Ibiza, so if something catches my attention, it’s not because ive walked past it, it’s because people are talking about it, which means it’s getting good again because for the last few years people haven’t been talking about Bora Bora

In steps MYNC presents Cr2 Live And Direct  @ Bora Bora, Finally, something to make you raise an eyebrow, a reason to go to Bora Bora because something great is happening not just because they pay someone to walk round in a spiderman suit. If you’re not sure, Cr2 are the label behind the Space Ibiza CD and this seasons Cafe Mambo CD. They are broadcasting from Bora Bora each month and they are making a party people are paying attention to.

This Month, they are at Bora Bora on Wednesday the 15th August With special guest Fat Boy Slim straight from his performance from the Olympic games. I Hope he comes on that giant octopus!

Check out Felix Da Housecat’s set from the June party this year on Soundcloud

And also check out the video on Youtube

Everyone loves the beach, and everyone loves a party, put them together and through in one of the best dance acts of all time, and you have yourself one hell of a party.

If you’re not bothered about the Radio 1 gig  (which most people aren’t) or you didn’t get a ticket, then head down to La Plage which is net to the radio 1 gig and party on down to Groove Armada, Tim Sweeney and Huxley. With only 2000 people getting into the Radio 1 show ive got a feeling this beach part is going to be a road block

The last time i was partying on the beach down there was when Ushuaia was cool and only a bar on the beach. If i had the option, i would probably opt for this beach party. and the best thing is… ITS FREE!

Carl Cox celebrates his birthday today (Its The Big 50) with a special free party down at Sands in Playa Den Bossa. He has already played the opening party there this year which sound really cool. This time, he has a few friends with him to make the day that bit more special. Pete Tong will also be performing. The set times are as follows (UK Time)

14:00 to 16:00 Igor Marijuan (Ibiza Sonica)
16:00 to 18:00 Pete Tong
18:00 to 20:00 Carl Cox
20:00 to 21:00 Igor Marijuan
21:00 to 23:00 Antz

If your in the area, head down, its a free party and Sands is a nice beach bar with amazing food. If your not in Ibiza at the moment, then you can still be part of the action and listen live online through Ibiza Sonica at www.ibizasonica.com

NOTE** they have said different set times on air which had Pete tong and Carl Cox switching times so im not sure which is correct.
