I'm in Barcelona airport now and just flew from Halifax Nova Scotia. I get into Ibiza in a few hours then I dj at 2 30 pm SUNSET TERRACE not El Salon.
It's the biggest night at Space with headliners - Steve Lawler, David Guetta, Danny Tenaglia, John Digweed, Sasha, Pete Tong, Groove Armada, Fedde Le Grand, and more.. It's like 50 djs today and tonight. This is Ibiza. This line up right here. It sums it all up in one day. Pure relentless minimal, techy house, techno and MDMA. But no Felix da Housecat or 2 Many Djs which are my favorite djs to watch when Im out here. This summer was a hectic one for me as i was in Ibiza at least flying into Ibiza twice a month from the states. So pretty much every other week i was flying into this party island and playing at the three residencies that kept me coming back : SPACE on THURSDAYS for Danny Tenaglia's night BE YOURSELF, MANUMISSION on fridays at AMNESIA, and IBIZA ROCKS on tuesdays at their hotel and the hippodrome. Honestly, I am glad I'm done cuz the flying was a fucking pain in my ass. But the flying part is absolutely not done for me. After today I fly right back to Los Angeles, get to wind down for less than 24 hours. then get back on a plane and head to ASIA for the DIm Mak Asia tour I'm doing with Uffie. We start in Taipei, then Seoul Korea and end in Beijing where we do the Dim Mak x Diesel XXX Event with other Dim Mak artists, The Bloody Beetroots and Them Jeans. If you are in Beijing you should come because we are giving out the limited edition Dim Mak Diesel USBs and hoodies made special for this event. Cobrasnake is coming as well and we are going to be throwing yard sales at every gig!! DO NOT MISS OUT!
