WE LOVE... SEMANA SANTA!
Date: 16-3-2010

The bosses are back, the office has been re-painted, the lads are still having trouble wooing the local lasses despite our recommendations last month (they say it's due to impeccably high standards, we think it's more about burgeoning beer-guts) and of course, the gossip's already begun about just who will be appearing on our line-ups in 2010.

We're not going to give too much away just yet, though we can tell you we've just locked in four exclusive dates on the Terrazza with our good mate Mat Playford. Diaries at the ready? We'll be seeing him on June 13th, July 11th, August 8th and September 5th... For more from the Playfordian files, check out the recent interview with him featured on our blog, or download his latest mix from his DJ profile page.

In other island news, we're mourning the demise of our favourite early-morning party hangout, Delano, which will be no more in 2010, meaning we're also on the hunt for a new place for our traditional Monday morning 'after-work bevvies'.

On the plus side, our favourite holiday in Ibiza is just around the corner... Semana Santa. No, it's not a case of Ibiza being behind the rest of the world and receiving visits from Señor Santa Claus in April, but it does involve some shifty looking blokes in hats popping into town for a visit. The official translation is 'week of saints' and all kicks off on the Easter weekend, starting with a grand parade through the winding streets of Dalt Vila on Good Friday, April 2.

They say a picture tells a thousand words, so rather than describe it any more, we'll leave you with some spooky images of parades gone by... Intrigued? We'll see you there next month!

Easter in Ibiza

WE LOVE... DJ MIXES
It's still so blimming cold outside, so it's no wonder our resident DJs are all staying tucked up warm in their studios, churning out new mixes for our aural pleasure by the day. Check out the bumper lot below, the latest updates to our DJ Profile pages, and keep checking back throughout the month for more new mixes as they come to hand.

Jem Haynes  
Something a bit different from Jem and Ian C, it's a decks / percussion / FX mix recorded live and off the cuff by the duo. Incredibly listenable and offering both of them the chance to showcase different strings to their already highly strung bows. We Love... it.

 

Andy Baxter  
An epic four part mix from Andy Baxter. Traveling through genres effortlessly and succinctly with a truly captivating flow. Individualism 3 is a must listen for anyone with the slightest interest in house music, featuring obscure, special and eclectic selections sourced from the last 12 months, mixed with a few old gems - great stuff. Be sure to download all four parts!

 

Jon howell  
Jon says he wanted this mix to be a bit of lighthearted entertainment - consider us entertained! A bit of a journey, starting and finishing deep, but building up to be nice and jacking midway. There's a distinctly old school feel, created thorough a mix of current tunes, mixing up deep, tech, dub, soulful and U.S. House.

 

Dave James  
Another cracker from our remix man Dave James. 'As usual the mix starts deep and minimal' he explains, 'and then builds from there. It also features three of my own tracks that will make up the first EP on my label Freq! Digital Recordings land plus other tracks that have been featuring heavily in my gigs on discerning UK dance floors.' By the way, Dave's winning remix of Yousef's Africa will be released on Renaissance in March.

We Love Blog - Andy Carrol Interview  
WE LOVE... ANDY CARROLL INTERVIEW
Probably one of the most adaptable DJs around, a passion and obsession with various types of music has seen a very rich musical history unfold during the long and varied career of Andy Carroll, who started DJing in Liverpool at Brady's, a punk and new-wave club where he got to play with many up-coming bands of the day. Whilst the trendy Londoners were coining the term 'Balearic', Andy had been playing eclectic sets for years before the term was even dreamed of, simply doing what he does best - playing good music...

We Love Blog - There will be blood  
WE LOVE... THERE WILL BE BLOOD
If you haven't seen this film wait for a day when you are ready for a surreal, jaw-dropping, no-holds-barred barrage of hyper-reality. A story about family, greed, religion and oil, centered around a turn-of-the-century prospector in the early days of the business, Daniel Day-Lewis clearly immerses himself so far into the role of prospector Daniel Plainview that it is frightening. The period setting of emerging capitalism is juxtaposed with a twisted and haunting modern classical score that only adds to the bizarre drama that unfolds onscreen.

We Love Blog - Kitra Cahana  
WE LOVE... KITRA CAHANA
Kitra Cahana is a young emerging documentary photographer who had an early start in her career when, at the age of 17, while photographing the Israeli Disengagement from Gaza, one of her photographs landed on the front page of the New York Times. 'When I first started, photography was less product oriented and more about developing a perspective of the world,' she says. 'Eventually I realised the potential of turning reality into art through recognising the beauty that exists even in the most horrific of circumstances.'

We Love Freshblood  
WE LOVE... FRESH BLOOD!
Our most recent Fresh Blood winner is... Tim Morrison. Tim has been DJing for over 8 years, a versatile selector, as comfortable warming up the night for some of the worlds most acclaimed DJs as he is rocking the floor at peak time. His mix had us hooked from the start. 'I tried to encapsulate a broad scope of my tastes within electronic music with an emphasis on melodic content. There's everything from disco to electronica, house, techno and acid,' he says. 'I like to keep a degree of eclecticism yet make sure everything relates and is cohesive as a whole.' Yeah - what he said!
