Ibeeeffffaaaa
Hello gang! Hope you're all well and dandy!
I currently find myself sweating my pants off in Ibiza, the home of ancient old ladies standing around in olive groves watching their goats climb trees and on the other hand hordes of beefed up ravers storming the niteries of the white island.
If you've never been it's nowhere near as horrific as stories tell, in fact it's tricky to find any bad things about it unless you hang around outside brit abroad pubs at chucking out time wearing the wrong football top.
I'm over here for my first date of new residency at Flower Power, a hippy night started in 1965... yes 1965, nearly a whole decade before da bank was even an itch in papa da Bank's troosers. Anyway one guy, Piti, DJs all night playing the Beatles, Stones, psychedelia and weird stuff... and it's the busiest night on the island just about!
I feel very honoured to be asked to host the second room. The idea is I bring back some balearic flavour so I've invited DJs like Alfredo and Jon Sa Trincha to join me playing anything from Grace Jones to Grateful Dead, Prince to Arethra Franklin and lots of unearthed oddities too...
Comin' back to blighty for the show naturally and can't wait to see what's a waiting in the da bank post sack.
Keep those festival details coming in to onemusic and your unsigneds too!
adios amigos, Roberto del Banco
