In the early summer of 2022 my phone pinged with a message, and somewhat of a blast from the past. Louis and I had met in Ibiza many moons ago, when he came here in a group of friends, to enjoy the clubs and nightlife. The Date : October 16th 2022 The Couple : Tania & Louis The Venue : Can Domingo, Sant Josep, Ibiza This message was a request for advice. He was planning his wedding to...
Over the years I admit to becoming a little cynical about the requirement for DJs like myself to need social network profiles. The task of managing each Facebook and Instagram account effectively, is a personal challenge and almost a job in itself! The Date : October 1st 2022 The Couple : Beth & Luke The Venue : Kazamor, Cala Vadella, Ibiza But proof of their worth, if ever needed, came in the form of an Instagram message from...
It hard to sum up my emotions going into Millie and Nathan’s wedding day. I felt excitement with a sizeable, side-serving of relief; as after two summer seasons without wedding gigs to plan and perform for, finally, I was back and ready to demonstrate what Fonoteca can do. The Date : June 11th 2022 The Couple : Millie & Nathan The Venue : Las Cicadas, Santa Gertrudis, Ibiza I was contacted by Ruth Alexander Weddings in the winter...
This was a rare opportunity to express myself musically at a venue I love and respect. I first saw the brilliance of this venue in the deep mid-winter of 2009. One of the oldest street parties in Ibiza is the Sant Josep 'Flower Power' party. I'm certain that by the time I was introduced to this phenomenal gathering there were things that had started to become formulaic and 'conventional', given that this tiny, one-road town...
Fonoteca became an official company in 2019, and it was a great year, having navigated an action packed summer season, filled with a glittering array of weddings and private events, whilst regularly appearing for live and DJ performances; holding residencies at Amare Hotel, Malanga Cafe, Es Cucons and Mesa Ibiza amongst others; and successfully delivering a season long music direction package for 7Pines Resort Ibiza, by the end of the summer it's safe to...
The opening of the new Amare Beach Hotel, and it's rooftop restaurant Hayaca overlooking the spectacular bay of San Antonio, was a much anticipated event at the start of the 2019 summer season. As two of the 30+ selected performers on the Ibiza Music Agency roster to have been given regular residencies, Ian and Nell worked several days a week with some familiar musicians and DJs, and some others who were new to us. Ian...
Let's go back to May 11th 2019 and remember the super beautiful but also really great fun wedding of Sophie and Iain at Agroturismo Can Gall. [caption id="attachment_11473" align="aligncenter" width="1200"] Agroturismo Can Gall[/caption] We'd had a lot of communication in the run up to their big day via email as well as a really lovely meeting in person at the picturesque Golden Buddha in San Antonio. We got on instantly and they're a great example of...
