056 My vision for the house music and events industry, especially in Ibiza, centres on innovation, inclusivity, and sustainability. This year, I am particularly focused on advancing the integration of cutting-edge technology to enhance the auditory and visual experience for every attendee. This includes using state-of-the-art sound systems and immersive visual displays that not only elevate the performance but also ensure an unforgettable atmosphere. Inclusivity remains a cornerstone of our ethos. We aim to cultivate a space where everyone feels welcome, valued, and part of the community, regardless of background. This means broadening our musical line up to feature a diverse array of artists that reflect the global appeal of house music, ensuring that our events are accessible to a wider audience. Sustainability is also paramount. We are committed to reducing our environmental impact and promoting eco-friendly practices across our venues and events. This includes everything from minimising waste, using sustainable materials, and encouraging our partners and suppliers to adopt greener methods. Lastly, fostering a culture of respect and safety at our events is crucial. We strive to create an environment where everyone can enjoy the music and experience without concern, reinforcing Ibiza’s status as a welcoming destination for music lovers worldwide. By focusing on these key areas, we aim to not only maintain but enhance Ibiza’s reputation as the epicentre of the global house music scene. WHAT ARE CURRENT PROJECTS DEFECTED IS DOING THAT YOU ARE MOST PROUD OF? As we celebrate our 25th year, I take great pride in the collaborative teamwork evident across our initiatives - our ‘Together’ campaign which celebrates artists from the label’s past, present and future, our event strategies, reintroducing talent and introducing new talent. Massive thanks to everyone for their support so far.
