Armin van Buuren's Balearic trance

Sep 24, 2024 | djmag.com | Mick Wilson

It was almost a quarter of a century ago that Armin van Buuren first came to Ibiza. To think of how much has changed in that time is a bit like trying to imagine the size of the universe — impossible. Despite that, the Dutch trance titan has, once again, been one of the biggest draws on the island this year with his return to Ushuaïa Ibiza every Sunday through September. That first visit was in the summer of 2000. Armin Jozef Jacobus Daniël van Buuren was just 24 years old.

Girls Of The Internet delve into themes of self-discovery, reinvention and “house as a queer art form” across their new 12-track LP, ‘When I Was Lost, I Found Myself’. “Sometimes, in our darkest moments and when everything seems hopeless, that’s when we can find direction in our lives,” says Tom Kerridge, the founder of the Girls Of The Internet collective that started in 2017.

Aug 20, 2024 | djmag.com | Mick Wilson

“The summer already looks intense,” says Marco Faraone with the look of someone well up for the challenge, when he speaks to DJ Mag Ibiza earlier this year. He might have had another jam-packed diary for the hottest months of the year, but he’s just had what could be one of the most special nights of the season. It was the Tuscany-born but now Barcelona-based artist’s birthday.
How Allen & Heath’s Xone:92 wrote a new blueprint for DJ mixers

Mar 28, 2024 | djmag.com | Mick Wilson

When development for the Xone:92 began in early 2003, Andy Rigby-Jones, Xone founder and then Allen & Heath’s design manager, felt he could push the envelope of what a DJ mixer could be. Drawing on his own experiences in the booth, as well as feedback from several big name DJs at the time, Rigby-Jones had a list of improvements he wanted to incorporate into the 92 that he felt could set it apart. However, nobody could predict the long-lasting impact the mixer would have on electronic music.

What memories do you have about your first visits to Ibiza? SYREETA: “My first visit to Ibiza was before I even started DJing. A few years ago, there was about 15 of us.
