Ibiza Hall Of Fame

Jason Bye’s Ibiza story began in 1992 on a Club 18-30 holiday. Within a year he was back on the island, determined to find a way to stay - even sleeping on the beach while looking for work.A chance job at Bucanero, working for owner Javier Anadón, became the beginning of something much bigger. In 1994, Javier invited Jason to come and play some records at his new bar - Café Mambo. With Brandon Block, Alex P and Sasha among the DJs hanging out, Jason found himself behind the decks when the others were, as he puts it, “too hedonistic” to play. He kept playing, and after just a night or two was offered the residency that would define his Ibiza career and also soundtrack the sunsets on the strip for years to come.Jason talks about the birth of the Café Mambo sound creating his legendary sunset sets, his long residencies at Cream at Amnesia and "We Love...Sundays" at Space and the people and records that shaped more than three decades on the island.An incredible story of how a Club 18-30 holiday turned into 30+ years at the heart of Ibiza’s soundtrack.

DJ, cultural icon and best selling author Fat Tony joined Ibiza Hall Of Fame at his London home to talk about an extraordinary journey through club culture - from the early London hi-energy scene and the explosion of acid house to the magical days of 80s Ibiza, Ku and the birth of a new clubbing culture. He recalls the DJs, records and moments that shaped him, his time at Pacha and experiencing Vagabundos with Luciano, including the night David Morales watched Luciano build a set from individual stems and simply said "Genius.” Tony also opens up about his battle with addiction, his bestselling book I Don't Take Requests, and his latest book Recover Me reflecting on how hitting rock bottom ultimately led him to a completely different life. A fascinating and brutally honest conversation about music, Ibiza, excess, recovery and the people who helped shape club culture. Presented by Alan Warman and Clara Griffin.

IMS co-founder, Director of Chinois Ibiza and island resident Danny Whittle takes us back to the mid-90s, when Ibiza’s club scene was still the Wild West — a world of cash payments, poster wars and armies of flyermen battling to promote the biggest nights.With no social media and little regulation, promoters relied on beaches, bars, flyers and posters to fill their clubs. Danny reveals how flyering was carefully tracked, how rival clubs would move posters to illegal locations to trigger fines, and how penalties eventually reached €3,000–€4,000 — helping bring the era of street promotion to an end.
