035 PROJECT EQUILIBRIUM IS A CRUCIAL PART OF IVC’S MISSION. COULD YOU TELL US MORE ABOUT HOW AND WHY THIS PROJECT WAS INITIATED? VINYL Music always enhanced my life, and the lives of every performer, event attendee and club member, so once upon a time with this in mind, I simply thought ‘why stop there?’ I’m here to serve, and have doing charitable stuff as long as Ive been playing records, so again it came naturally that the IbizaVinylClub became altruistic. It wasn’t long after the launch in 2020 that Isaac from BHHNP Uganda contacted me; directed by his own intention and selflessness, we bonded immediately and started to work together to help the children in his community. So You could say that the entire IbizaVinylClub/ProjEq movement is divinely inspired... I believe that to put others first as the root of your work, creates an abundant and inspiring, successful dynamic. I believe that we are all connected, so the fun we have at the IVC translates to many different sharing of love to our family in Africa. I believe if you give a man a fish, he will eat for a day; but to each him to fish and he eats forever. What can we expect from Ibiza Vinyl Club in 2024? LOTS! Lots more summer events, collabs and VinylDJ sessions. We’re currently manifesting a permanently home - the Ibiza Vinyl Club house concept is almost tangible, and will be a new hub for ibiza’s and her visiting Vinyl lovers to hang out, buy, swap, make and play records. We will raise a LOT of vibes, as well as inspiration and money for the kids of Project Equilibrium, and we will simply continue to Enhance Lives with the Power of Vinyl Music. I’d invite everyone reading this - if you feel it - to get in touch and be part of this awesome, expansive journey. If you’re a vinyl lover, we’re the family you never knew you had. TO DATE, IVC HAS ORGANIZED 106 EVENTS. WHAT MAKES AN IBIZA VINYL CLUB EVENT UNIQUE? EVERYTHING and EVERYONE makes the IVC unique! We are far more than an event, we are family, we are VINYL. However, the event’s interactivness and in-clusivety, it’s opendecks, Vinyl Exchange, audio points and full frequency sounds system are some of the material things that make us different, but really this movement is about the people and the vinyl music. Every event is unique, as we all are. We are a family, we’re child and dog friendly, we are smiles and laughter, we are imperfectly perfect DJ sets and performances, and we are a great plethora of magical vibes, each and every-one doing their bit to create complete uniqueness at every show. The DJs donate their time to perform and I offer a more-thanmoney exchange to balance their devotion. We have festival headlining DJs on the same line up with folk from around the corner who may never have performed in public before; family flying in especially with boxes of 45s to play, and always a huge diversity of musomic to enjoy which helps in creating the unique concept which is the IbizaVinylClub. ELECTRONIC MUSIC AND VINYL SHARE A SPECIAL RELATIONSHIP. HOW DO YOU THINK THE FORMAT HAS CONTRIBUTED TO THE CULTURE AND APPRECIATION OF ELECTRONIC MUSIC? The vinyl disc was one of the first ways in which humanity shared electronically-made music... In fact we shared many different genres of music on Vinyl before electronic music even existed, so maybe the culture and appreciation of electronic music is simply an extension of the vinyl music playback movement... Just like hip hop, rock & roll, Indie, Rock music, funk, soul and disco, which were alll rooted in vinyl too. LOOKING TO THE FUTURE, WHAT ARE YOUR MAIN GOALS AND ASPIRATIONS? I’m content to keep expanding and enjoying my stroll along this very incredible path... To keep rooted, to experince life and take the IbizaVinylClub / ProjEq journey to its fullest potential- going worldwide and establishing the International Vinyl Community; where regular events are held by likeminded communities across earth, raising vibes, having fun and supporting Humanity along the way, all by the Power of Vinyl Music.
