Hi from Jules

Judge JulesJudge Jules|15:13 UK time, Saturday, 7 August 2010

Judge Jules here... I arrived at Ibiza Rocks hotel last night and had to negotiate a humongous queue outside. Believe you me, I'm the last one to drop a 'don't you know who I am' bombshell on the door, but without that approach I would have remained outside with the locked-out masses. I played Thursday night in Tenerife, came off the decks at 4.30am and jumped straight onto a flight back to Ibiza via Madrid at an unearthly 6am. Not a pretty or pleasant experience for fellow passengers having an unshaven and snoring DJ slumped next to you, but I had to race back for THE weekend of the Ibiza season - Radio Uno. Yesterday I was at Ibiza Rocks Hotel in 'supporting cast' capacity, as my role in R1 in Ibiza doesn't kick off till tonight, when I do especially extended show from Cafe Mambo between 9pm & midnight.Following that, all roads lead to the world's biggest club Privilege, fora shindig featuring my Radio 1 buddies plus Underworld and Above & Beyond,who I follow on the decks for the closing set. As someone who plays every week in Ibiza throughout the 15 week summer season, let me tell you that the Radio 1 weekend is THE special one. It's the 48 hour period during which we all collect our finest summer tunes and think hardest about what we'll play to the musically clued-up masses.Once tonight is out the way, I'm having a BBQ at my house here inIbiza for all Radio 1 folk, and then (personally) the weekend concludes with my night Judgement Sundays at Eden. So, pacing myself is the order of the weekend, but it's not something that anybody here in Ibiza finds very easy... So wish me luck!
