We quiz the man of the moment on Ibiza, his residency at Pure Pacha and what’s up next.
What does Ibiza mean to you?
I love Ibiza – it’s the most magical country I’ve been to. When I was younger it was all about the fun and finding parties and not going to sleep – it’s the opposite now, I love the restaurants and the quiet places and discovering new beaches and hang outs.
What have you got planned for your set at Pure Pacha?
The usual mad mash up of everything from funk and hip hop to drum and bass and electro. I like challenging the cliché that Ibiza’s only about house music.
What are your top tips for Ibiza?
Well, it changes every year. I love the restaurant on Es Cavallet called Es Cavallet and the one on Benirras for a late afternoon paella and rose wine session. But I’ll go to at least two new ones every time I come over. I also love hanging out at Es Cucons in Santa Agnes, it feels like a home from home.
What’s special about playing Pacha? Have you played the Global Room for Jade’s Jezabel parties before?
I first played at Pacha last year – Flower Power were doing the main room so it was a psychedelic crowd of hippies, beautiful people and some Italians trying to have sex on the dancefloor. I had to stop the music! I’ve never played for Jade before and am honoured to be asked – but I reckon we’re on the same wavelength musically so it should be a cracker.
What’s your favourite Pure Pacha memory?
Dancing around to Piti at Flower Power playing the Beatles and the Stones with facepaint on and a strong vodka limon!
What else are you up to at the moment?
Too much! My diary’s full till October, my festival Bestival has sold out and happening in September, my record label has new tunes from the Dub Pistols, Max Sedgley, the Kat and Kitty, Daisy and Lewis coming out - all of which are brilliant in my humble opinion! My Radio 1 show’s really growing nicely and I’m changing nappies and being bitten by my naughty little boy Arlo, who’s just turned 1 year old. In my spare time I do the washing up!
