July’s edition of Ibiza NOW magazine went to the printers yesterday so here’s a sneak preview of the cover:

This editionis now 116 pages with 12 pages on Ibiza beaches and beach restaurants, we got 8 pages of music reports including the International Music Summit, Space opening weekend, Pete Tong at Eden, Ibiza Rocks Hotel opening and the start of this summer’s Ibiza Rocks gigs as well as a follow-up to last month’s article about Lenny Ibizarre and a look at Lovehouse.fm.

There’s also a follow-up to the report we did about diving to the Don Pedro sunken freighter and we’ve also a report on the state of tourism here and interviews with many of the major players involved.

It’ll be out as usual on 1st July.

its just started and its very interesting so far !

This mornings 1st panel was about synchronisation - or as i used to know it: 3rd party exploitation - I have to declare an interest since my job used to be to clear and authorise UK owned Polygram (Universal) repertoire for use in TV ads, Radio commercials, premiums (giveaways) etc worldwide, so for me it was fascinating to see 6 serious players on the panel discuss synch’ing.
We also did a short video interview with Danny Whittle which we’ll put up as soon as we can.

This afternoon’s panel should be interesting with nearly all the club owners on the same table as the Consel….:

Today we got down to the task of putting ibiza club tickets on our iphoneibiza.com website.

eg. you can buy ibiza rocks hotel opening tickets.

Judge Jules latest on his myspace page:

On Monday Feb 12th Amanda, Jake, Phoebe and I flew to Ibiza for Jake’s half term, to make some early arrangements for this season’s “Judgement Sundays”. I love Ibiza in the out-of-season winter months - more of you should try it. The island’s covered with almond blossom, the citrus trees bulge with oranges and lemons, and the smell is totally different. The only downer is the lack of direct flights from the UK until April. One has to travel via Barcelona or Madrid, meaning that our two small children needed to be occupied for nearly five hours in either direction. Jake buried his head in his PSP, and we bought Phoebe a bunch of small childrens’ DVDs to watch on Amanda’s laptop.

The weather in Ibiza was stunning during our four days on the island, ranging between 20 and 22 degrees. You don’t expect to come home with a tan from Spain in February, but even my pale Irish skin got some colour.
