IMS International Music Summit / 23-25 de Mayo / Dia 1

Ibiza se convierte durante  estos días 23,24 y 25 de mayo en la capital internacional de la industria de la música electrónica.En su 5ª edición el International Music Summit sigue siendo cita ineludible del “music businness” logrando que este año su alineación de panelistas y conferenciantes sea la más fuerte, si cabe, desde que se fundó en 2008. Con representantes de las tecnologías emergentes más innovadoras junto a ejecutivos líderes de la industria dance y artistas de renombre mundial, éste promete ser el evento más atractivo e interesante hasta la fecha. Y es que entre los conferenciantes  presentes este año se incluyen el legendario productor Nile Rodgers de Chic, uno de los padres del sonido disco Giorgio Moroder, y Diplo, nominado un Grammy el pasado año.

Ibiza Sónica es emisora oficial del IMS así que durante estos días estamos en directo desde el Ibiza Grand Hotel de 14 a 16contándote lo que pasa, retransmitiendo conferencias, paneles, entrevistando a los protagonistas y, por supuesto, con la banda sónora de los artistas que participan. Todo ello presentado por Igor Marijuán, Clara Da Costa y Andy Wilson.

Hoy, 23 de Mayo, inauguraban el show las declaraciones de Danny Whittle sobre la esencia del evento y a continuación Nacho Rodríguez, del ayuntamiento de Ibiza, resumió la importancia del congreso para la isla.

Y a partir de ahí carroussel de entrevistas, comentaristas y conferencias:

James Burton, fundador de Cream, nos ha concedido la primera entrevista desde que vendió su famoso festival a Live Nation. Bueno, nos la concedió a nosotros pero le ha entrevistado un tal Pete Tong, en un formato de entrevista b2b marca de la casa Ibiza Sónica: no solo es un formato original sino que el trabajo nos lo hacen otros. Aunque nosotros también procuramos entrevistar para justificar el sueldo. Andy Wilson ha entrevistado a Ralph Moore, editor de Mixmag, una de las revistas online más importantes del mundo e Igor charló con Gary de Japanese Pop Stars que nos ha contado cómo se disponía a presentar el himno del IMS esa misma tarde.

En el IMS también se habla de economía: Kevin Watson analizó las tendencias en el mercado en la industria de la música electrónica. A destacar el auge de la música “dance” en USA por encima de otros géneros. Por otro lado y como ejemplo de la industria del directo y de las telecomunicaciones, Vue Cinema ha mostrado como presenciar un concierto a kilómetros de distancia desde una sala de cine. Y, como no, las redes sociales debían estar presentes. Entrevistamos a Tatiana Simonian (Twitter, Music Partnerships) y retransmitimos posteriormente su conferencia. De ella extraemos el siguiente dato: el hashtag más utilizado en todo twitter es #EDM, que corresponde a las siglas de Electronic Dance Music. Un hashtag utilizado diariamente por más de tres millones de usuarios. Somos muchos, amig@s,y cada vez más.

Para acabar este articulillo que te da buena cuenta de lo que se cuece en el IMS decirte que hemos comentado los muchos eventos que giran alrededor del IMS, como por ejemplo la cena/homenaje a Carl Cox, la fiesta oficial del IMS, el evento con los residentes de la isla celebrado en esa misma sala y como no la Grand Finale, el colofón del Summit para el viernes 25 de mayo con un line –up de escándalo y que Ibiza Sonica retransmitirá, como viene siendo costumbre. Un evento que da el pistoletazo de salida a la locura veraniega. Agarraos que vienen curvas.

Richie Hawtin presents ENTER @ Space Ibiza

 Music. Sake. Technology. Experience.

RICHIE HAWTIN confirms first solo IBIZA residency with the introduction of ENTER. at Space on Thursdays from July 5th till September 20th...

“ENTER. will be a point of entry into new experiences: from new music and DJs through to technology and the Sake we introduce people to”  Richie Hawtin


RICHIE HAWTIN has confirmed he will launch his first solo residency on the island of Ibiza – with the introduction of his new visionary ENTER. concept. Hawtin will take over Thursday nights at the award-winning club Space in Playa d’en Bossa for 12 weeks, curating four rooms built on the principles of music, sake, technology and experience.

Hawtin and ENTER. will also collaborate with underground night Kehakuma to form ENTER. Kehakuma on the famed Space Terrace – a night already established as an incubator of emerging and defining electronic talent. 

Hawtin has a strong history with the island of Ibiza thanks to his long-term contribution and association with Sven Väth’s Cocoon creation at Amnesia. Hawtin feels now is the time to make his own statement on the island, to provide a new platform for the artists and music he supports, and to lead Ibiza into the island’s next phase of development and innovation.

“After an incredible and life-defining relationship with Sven and the Cocoon family on the island, I felt the time was right to develop my own vision on what an Ibiza experience might be. Ibiza is a destination for people from all walks of life looking to escape and celebrate. This year we will give people an entry into a world that connects many of the things that I love: music, technology, Japanese sake, art, entertainment and design. As Ibiza is a crossroads of people from all over the world, ENTER. will be a crossroads of experiences!”

Richie Hawtin 

ENTER. is based on the following principles:

MUSIC. Hawtin will play each and every week from the center of the ENTER. experience, within an augmented version of Space’s main room surrounded by new structural lighting installations and technologies. Hawtin will curate the entire ENTER. line-up featuring M-NUS artists, friends, collaborators and like-minded individuals on each floor including ENTER. Sake and ENTER.Air (Space’s rooftop terrace). Hawtin will collaborate with Space on the line-ups for the main Terrace now dubbed ENTER.Kehakuma – bringing his own selection of artists to an already established hotbed of emerging electronic talent.

SAKE. ENTER.Sake is the island’s first true Sake Bar experience - an intimate Japanese inspired room with surprise DJ sets from major guests starting each Thursday at 10pm. For the first time, the official pre-party is in the actual club itself. Hawtin, himself a trained Sake sommelier and a huge fan of Japanese culture, is personally importing the Sake from Japan, recruiting the staff and working with renowned mixologist on the special Japanese Sake & Shochu based cocktail menu. It has been said of Hawtin, “to truly understand this man, you need to understand his love and obsession with Japan”.

TECHNOLOGY. Each room within the ENTER. concept will be touched by technology; from live Internet feeds, to visualizations of music & sound, to the interactive installations of the transformed Sunset Terrace – now titled, ENTER.Interakt. This will be a new sensory experience beyond music involving cutting edge technologies and ideas.

EXPERIENCE. “As electronic music continues to develop around the world it becomes more important to invite people into its very core, where music, technology and ideas interplay to create unique and wonderful new worlds. Ibiza is the perfect place to further explore my event concepts that have been developing since the early Warehouse parties I threw in Detroit and more recently with CONTAKT & Plastikman Live. It is my hope that by combining many different elements together I can heighten the experience of the audience and place a significant memory into their subconscious. Ibiza is the perfect location for continuing this long-term experiment and ambition of mine.”

ENTER.FACTS

ENTER. will take place every Thursday from July 5th to September 20 

ENTER. will be promoted by Hawtin and his M-NUS team in collaboration with Space.

ENTER.Sake will see the launch of the island’s first dedicated Sake bar.

ENTER.Kehakuma will see Hawtin collaborate with Space’s underground night. Kehakuma will continue in its own right before and after ENTER.’s 12 dates.

ENTER. pre-party will take place weekly at Space from 10pm with big guests. 

A weekly live broadcast from ENTER. pre-party @ Sake Bar every thursday from 22H00 till 23H00 on Ibiza Sonica is in the works... We will keep you updated... Stay tuned.

Carl Cox presents "The Revolution Recruits // Space Ibiza 2012

Safehouse Management has just confirmed that Carl Cox will return to Space Ibiza for the 11th year in a row with his new Revolution Recruits concept. The opening party is happening on July 3rd with an amazing 12 weeks of revolutionary music planned every Tuesday night until September 18th.

Don’t expect business as usual. After ten seasons at Space Ibiza featuring some of the most renowned DJs in the world, Carl is opening up the ranks to welcome a whole army of new talent. This year’s Revolution is going to be eclectic, loud, and unforgettable. And it’s all happening at Space Ibiza, which Carl has called "the Rolls Royce of clubs."

Carl Cox has earned his stripes as the global veteran of sound with non-stop performances and a smile that lights up the dance floor. No matter where he is on the decks, you can tell he’s on a personal mission to help weary foot soldiers kick off their 9-to-5 shackles and get into the more serious business of having fun. This is a man with not so much as a single cynical or jaded bone in his body – and as he says:

“We are the revolution and the revolution is love.”

But don’t believe for a minute that Carl is going to lose his lets-get-everybody-in-the-house attitude or forget who his friends are. In fact, Revolution fans will be happy to hear that resident DJs Yousef, UMEK and Nic Fanciulli return to rally the troops again this summer. Ibiza clubbers can expect another blockbuster Revolution this year. Lynn Cosgrave, who heads Safehouse says: "We’re putting all our energy behind building this night to even new heights. There will be familiar faces but also incredible new talent and styles of music."

The Revolution Recruits broadens its reach with two competitions

Carl is looking to recruit four talented DJs to join him for a spotlight performance this season in Ibiza. Those who believe they have the mettle to brave the stage are invited to enter 'The Revolution Recruits DJ Contest' by sending in their best 30-minute DJ set via Mixcloud. A total of four winners will get the chance to perform live in Ibiza this summer. Safehouse Management will cover return flights and accommodation. All winners are also invited to attend a short course at the renowned SAE Institute to further develop their skills, as well as receiving premium memberships to SoundCloud and Headliner.fm.

Carl has also announced that he is on a quest to establish an official theme track for his massively successful Tuesday night parties. 'The Revolution Recruits Theme Contest' is a unique competition concept that challenges ambitious music producers to transform samples submitted by several Intec Digital artists into a track they feel will best communicate the spirit of Carl’s Revolution. The winning theme will be used as part of The Revolution Recruits promo material and officially released after the 2012 season has ended. The winner will also get the chance to further develop his or her skills with one of the short courses offered by the SAE Institute. Premium memberships from SoundCloud and Headliner.fm are also in store for the winner.
