  • 40 - Judge Jules “On Judgement Sundays opening the queue went around the block twice”

    Judge Jules joins the Ibiza Hall Of Fame to look back on a remarkable career spanning more than three decades - from his early days as a young DJ and law student to becoming one of the UK’s biggest DJs, a legendary BBC Radio 1 broadcaster, producer and music lawyer.

    He recalls his first trip to Ibiza in 1988, when he played his first gig at Pacha, and how the island quickly became an important part of his career. He shares memories of the early Ibiza scene, the clubs, promoters and characters that shaped the island, and the very different experience of visiting Ibiza in the late 1980s and 1990s.

    A major part of the conversation focuses on Judgement Sundays, which launched in 2000 at the venue that became Eden in San Antonio. Jules recalls the decision to create his own branded Ibiza night, the huge queue on the opening night and how the night developed into one of the island’s defining weekly events. He also talks about booking DJs such as Tiësto, Armin van Buuren, Eric Prydz and Ferry Corsten early in their careers and building diverse line-ups around emerging talent.

    He also reflects on the evolution of Ibiza, the rising cost of visiting the island and the growth of daytime events aimed at an older generation of clubbers.

    Now balancing an international DJ career with specialist music law, Jules reflects on how the industry and Ibiza has changed - and not always to the benefit of the younger clubbers.

  • 39 - Lisa Nash "I told Pete Tong he was burnt like a lobster"

    Lisa Nash joins the Global Club & Dance Hall Of Fame to talk about an extraordinary career at the heart of club culture - from her early love of music and Ibiza to becoming one of the familiar faces of ClubaVision.

    Lisa recalls discovering Ibiza as a teenager and the moment she walked into Es Paradis and saw Rozalla performing. The experience left such an impression that she knew she would be back - and that music and clubs would become a major part of her life.

    She talks about the creation of ClubaVision, which began as a video project before moving onto ITV, and what it was like being paid to travel around the UK and Ibiza, interview superstar DJs and report from the biggest clubs and parties of the era.

    Lisa also reveals how Carl Cox helped her learn one of the most important lessons of interviewing: “Just say whatever comes into your head.” What began as nerves and carefully rehearsed questions became a career built around her genuine love of talking to people and discovering their stories.

    There are plenty of Ibiza memories along the way - from filming with the likes of Pete Tong, visiting Pacha, Pikes and the hippie markets, to recreating the famous ClubaVision Ibiza tour and remembering the days when there were no mobile phones, no social media and celebrities could simply enjoy themselves alongside everyone else.

    Lisa also talks about some of the DJs and artists who have stayed with her throughout the years, including Jeremy Healy, Lisa Loud, Carl Cox, Masters at Work and Roy Ayers, as well as some of the unforgettable characters and stories from Ibiza’s golden era.

    Now back filming and working in the music and events world, Lisa reflects on reconnecting with the people and music she grew up around — and why the love of dance music never really goes away.

    Presented by Alan Warman and Clara Griffin. Produced by Dave Lambert. Filmed by Darren Griffin. Edited by Billy Booth.

  • 38 - Gordon Mac MBE "I was the weird white kid into James Brown and The Fatback Band"

    Gordon Mac MBE joins the Global Club & Dance Hall Of Fame to tell the story of a remarkable life in music — from falling in love with radio and DJing as a teenager to co-founding Kiss FM in 1985, when it was a South London pirate station championing underground music. He recalls the extraordinary rise of Kiss, taking the station from pirate radio to becoming a legal 24-hour dance station, the DJs and the explosion of house, soul, reggae, hip-hop and dance music that transformed British club culture.

    Gordon also reveals why he returned to radio years after leaving Kiss - launching Mi-Soul Radio after realising there was a generation of Kiss listeners who had grown up but still wanted the music they loved. He explains how he tracked down many of the DJs who had been pushed out of mainstream radio and brought them together again.His philosophy has remained the same: radio should give great DJs a platform.

    As Gordon puts it, “I didn't create these DJs I just gave them a platform.”

    He also talks about his deep connection with Ibiza, from his first visit in the 1980s and early Kiss Ibiza parties to three different chapters on the island, his love of its music and escapism, and the people and places that have stayed with him.

    A fascinating conversation with one of the key figures behind the evolution of British radio and dance music - and a man who, decades later, is still spreading the music he loves.“It’s always been about the music.”

  • 37 - Jason Bye - from Bucanero to Café Mambo, Amnesia, Space and "We Love....Sundays"

    Jason Bye’s Ibiza story began in 1992 on a Club 18-30 holiday. Within a year he was back on the island, determined to find a way to stay - even sleeping on the beach while looking for work.A chance job at Bucanero, working for owner Javier Anadón, became the beginning of something much bigger. In 1994, Javier invited Jason to come and play some records at his new bar - Café Mambo. With Brandon Block, Alex P and Sasha among the DJs hanging out, Jason found himself behind the decks when the others were, as he puts it, “too hedonistic” to play. He kept playing, and after just a night or two was offered the residency that would define his Ibiza career and also soundtrack the sunsets on the strip for years to come.Jason talks about the birth of the Café Mambo sound creating his legendary sunset sets, his long residencies at Cream at Amnesia and "We Love...Sundays" at Space and the people and records that shaped more than three decades on the island.An incredible story of how a Club 18-30 holiday turned into 30+ years at the heart of Ibiza’s soundtrack.
