Who here has had their moment of magic in Ibiza? Or on any dancefloor listening to the sounds of their favourite DJs and creating special memories? I remember when I made my first trip there.
I was barely 18. I went with my friend George on what was supposed to be a whirlwind weekend, and I ended up staying for much longer with no passport or money to my name.
In '85 I met this DJ called Alfredo. Our relationship started off rocky - I had been booked at Amnesia back when it was a small but unbelievably creative open-air club where you could dance beneath the stars (the idea of a super club at the time was far-fetched). Little did I know this was his slot, so he hated me for a while. In time, we became friends and the amount of respect we had for one another was all too real.
Over the years, Alfredo played a fundamental part in the creation of Balearic house and the development of electronic music as we know it in its many forms today. Ibiza simply wouldn't be what it is today without the influence of this great man and that's what I'm here to talk about.
