Ibiza - The Reset Rebel

In todays episode, we are invited into the home of a man, who In 1967 made an important decision.

After abandoning his law studies in Barcelona, he became independent from his family and moved to live on Ibiza.

The island was, at that time, a virgin and paradisiacal place where he rode around on his horse, no body locked their doors,  and life was simple without phones or wifi.
It seemed that time had almost stopped on on ibiza, and were lands forgotten or almost left behind,  by progress.

There were hardly any restaurants, hotels, boutiques or the now infamous clubs and Carlos was one of the first to bring a group of people to experience the beauty and but also the hedonism ibiza would soon start to use as part of its touristic model that has now, devoured large parts of the island.

Carlos Martorell wrote, Requiem por Peter Pan en Ibiza, which is available in english and spanish about those times when he first arrived and the magical but also sad stories that unfolded.

We head into the Ibiza music studios of Sonic Vista today with producer Henry Sarmiento from New York.

Born in the big Apple from a Swedish mother and Colombian Father,  Henry got started in the music industry very young.

He was a roadie to Max Creek at 16 and tells the story of how he journeyed from there to become an engineer for Strictly Roots, almost by chance after the previous one quit and he took the role over and blew them away with his ¨big sound¨.

He was then spotted by the legend Herbie Herbert, former manager for Journey,  mixing for Bammie award winning band Inka Inka and then ended up working in his studio,  Sy Klopps,  for the next 8 years,

Henry has had the likes of Lady Gaga writing Alejandro,   DJ and producer Satori creating his latest album Dreamin´ Colours,  Akon, The Ting Tings,  50 Cent & many more in his ibiza 400 year old finca studios and is not short of a story or two.

Sister Bliss from Faithless has had a career spanning more than two and a half decades.

How do you find the keys to longevity in the music industry?
How do you Reset after major band changes along the way?
How do you tackle issues faced by many women in the dance music scene?

We hear her story at the legendary island institute, Pikes, from growing up around the very first synthesisers and a musical father,  to her love affair with House music which she fell in love with on the dance floors of New York city, when we met her in her  hotel room right before her Back to Mine gig.

Ayalah Bentovim has witnessed a lot of change in the music industry and come full circle during her time in Faithless, with All Blessed their first entry into the world of streaming. 

She recently remixed Insomnia to make it into a soundscape for sleep for a CBD brand  - making that the longest track she has every written at 27 minutes. 

Ayalah also shared her feelings on some of the challenges she has faced as a woman in the music industry along the way and says,

"The thing about dance music is it is about inclusivity, and about bringing people together, all shades of the rainbow all under one roof, dancing under one groove.
It is a place people come to leave all their problems behind.
It sounds like a cliche, but it is real. We have written about it in our music, ´this is my church, this is where i heal my hurt.`
People carry a lot of pain in their lives and in the early days, electronic dance music created  a safe space for people. "

You can catch their latest album, All Blessed on the usual streaming platforms.

In todays show, we have kidnapped owner, chef and DJ Harry Charles, also a fellow radio presenter on the island to have a chat whilst drinking some rather delicious Mezcal on the beach over the road in a rare break.

Harry set up WOM in the middle of a pandemic, and while the doubters doubted, he created the magical pink paradise at the end of Santa Eulalia Beach.

The Cafe welcomes local community vibes, aims to brings like minded creative souls together, and provide a space people can connect in a way that feels unique to those who live on the island.

Already the cafe has seen episode 84. guests Crazy P play as well as residencies by so many other island favourites who create the soundtrack to dining and drinking there within the four flamingo coloured walls.

Look no further for a spot to drink, dance or have a cheeky Canya after the beach to cool off.

Today I invited Gini, a reflexology and facial massage specialist to my house to talk about her other passion.  Fertility.

Gini loves to share her knowledge with women looking to get pregnant as much as those wishing to avoid it, especially in light of recent circumstances stateside. 

A focussed conversation on natural ways to avoid pregnancy and charting our cycles as well as our hormones, felt important and Gini, gave me the full initial process as to how this can be done, why apps suck and what really works to understand our bodies better.

¨For a Life Reset, I walk the Dog,¨  says the Dundee hairdresser Jef Mercury who has lived in ibiza for just over 5 years. 
He did a lot of walking in lockdown, mostly around the circumference of his own home, as the rules did not allow for much further exploration. 
However, it did give him the much needed Reset he needed after he started to go stir crazy after the first few months and says he used the time  to get creative and started painting.  Back Home he had more than 30 salons and was busy ¨living his life on the clock¨ and he told Jo how Ibiza life has allowed him to ditch his watch and carve out a niche for himself on his own terms.
He has cut the hair of everyone from Eva Longoria to Ewan McGregor and says something very special happens when you learn how to interact with someone in the world of hairdressing and says many life lessons have come on the job, so to speak.
Jef certainly lives up to the title of the series and was a full blown rascal before resetting his own life  and getting into his art which has taken him around the world and to cat walks and working for the likes of Vogue magazine. He has seen it all and has lots of good stories.

Email for the next RESET REBEL RETREAT 9-12TH SEPTEMBER 2022.

This week, we received a visit from ex-island resident, Peyton. The US house singer and legendary vocalist got stuck here during lockdown at his home in Sa Caleta and told me how it was for him - a period of falling in love with the nature of Ibiza in a way he never had  the time to do before, or the mental space to create such a connection to.  

He has now moved to Germany to be with his husband, but he made time on a fleeting visit to the island to pop in and see us at our Hub studios for an interview to talk about a new project. 
REVIVAL is the name of a brand new music project which launches this summer, with releases of house reworks that celebrate some of our best known classics, with a view to bringing the old spirit of Ibiza back to the forefront of dance music events both here and globally. 
Peyton got his start performing his now-classic house anthemsat institutions like El Divino back in the day for nights like Hed Kandi, and recalls soundtracking sunrise as the big golden ball used to rise out of the Balearic Sea. Revival Records have been recording at Abbey Road Studios in London, the oldest purpose-built studio in the world, and in this chat Peyton gives Jo a full breakdown of how the label came to be, which has some of dance music’s biggest names and vocalists on board.

The RESET REBEL RETREAT 9-12TH SEPTEMBER:  www.theresetrebel.com

Is this extreme heat the last week sapping your energy?

Need more vitality, strength and ability to focus?   

You are not alone!  In fact, I have been hitting the coffee big time  - even more than usual!! - but there are so many other ways to Reset and get back on the right path.

Here with some stern talk on what is needed is Siebe Hannosset who guides people on their path to better health and a more optimised way of being. 

Siebe has a background as a movement scientist and worked as a performance coach at Club Brugge, since contracting limes disease.  He was forced to create his own personal blueprint to cultivate better mental and physical health and that has carved out his own way of sharing that.

He incorporates clinical psycho-neuro-immunology (cPNI) and has carved out his own Intermittent Living concept.   The results of integrating these principles with himself had a profound impact and today he has a mission  to translate the latest scientific insights about Intermittent Living into practice through intermittent fasting, cold therapy,  deep breathing, sleep and other brain hacks. 

For Septembers RESET RETREAT 9-12 September we have three places left to join us for the weekend in paradise, hiking, practising flow music infused yoga on our campo deck on the north of the island and attenting a rooftop dance music meditation on the roof on Nobu.   

Between Ibiza and Formentera lies the worlds oldest and largest living organism.
At over 100,000 years old, it stretches for more then 8km and provides shelter for species to hide and stay protected, it also purifies the waters of the Balearic Sea and that of the Meditteranean and acts as a huge Carbon sink, offsetting the extreme influx of tourists in Summertime. It is of course the Posidonia.
One lady on the island is so passionate about preserving it, she is making an ambient album using the seagrass meadows as her muse.
For todays episode of the show, we were invited to Ibiza Bloom Studio to meet Coco Francavilla  -  an Italian film-composer ambient artist and music producer based in close to San Miguel.   She combines the use of analog / modular synthesizers and sound manipulation mixing electronica with classical music, with an evocative and oneiric approach and has invited a range of her fellow ambient musicians to join her on the record. 

In todays episode we also launch our Next Retreat on the island find all the details here:   RESET REBEL RETREAT 9-12 SEPT 2022.
