Ibiza - The Reset Rebel

You may have have seen the posters replacing the face of F*** Me I'm Famous star, David Guetta in Ibiza lately.....mingling amongst the 2022 club promo on the walls around town.
Fermented duo Bex and her husband Jacob have papered his face all over the island, with their F*** Me I'm fermented campaign, in a tongue in cheek poke of fun at the return of the super clubs this summer.
Bex is not a clubber, but has spent time performing in her signature white costume that images can be projected on at events on Ibiza and which got birthed when they lived in Amsterdam, right before coming to make the island their home.
260 days of rain per year played a big part in that move, but so did, wishing to live a more outdoors life and have her hands in the soil and so  their ferment baby was born in the name of our much loved island fizzyness  - Los Fermentistas.  Catch Bex and her full story on todays episode.

In this weeks episode, Jo braves the rain and wind to meet Island resident photographer,  Gypsy Westwood in San Carlos,  to chat about her childhood growing up on ibiza and how she carved out a name for herself as one of the
well known and much loved names on the scene of Ibiza's weddings and events.

Gypsy left the island at 12 to study in London, but returned to bring up her son and to work in the industry that has changed so much since she started out, as digital swept in and changed everything dramatically.

The pair talk about all sorts from instagram filters to the history of photography and Jo's own photojournalism idol,  Henri Cartier Bresson.

Catch the pair as they get cold & wet with numb bums in the church of the little village to catch up.

For the past 2 years, there has been one event missing from the Ibiza calendar. The International Music summit was out of action since 2019 but will be making a return this spring a month earlier than usual.
Many are taking this as a sign the season will be longer and more busy then ever before. 

To mark the occasion in todays episode, we go back in time to 2014, when I attended the legends awards dinner with Simon Le Bon, Nile rogers and George Clinton, the godfather of funk and hear how he Reset his path in life at the grand old age of 69 to give up smoking crack and make new music. 

Plus we hear from Pete Tong, co founder of the summit on receiving an MBE and why they set the event up as an alternative to the hall of fame for EDM. 

For the first time the IMS will have a ‘no-panel’ policy and instead hold a series of keynotes, lectures, conversations, workshops, and sessions with industry leaders, with wellness playing a key part in proceedings and the narrative this year at Destino, so we finish with Ibiza born DJ Manu Gonzales on how he stays healthy living his life on tour and in night clubs and keeps things on track so he can stay on top of his game, as an artist.

Ibiza is not famous for its wine. 
But it does have quite a few creators, including Blacknose in  the hills of San Juan.
Peter Lehner and his brother Tino started to make wine when they got the land right after the 2011 fire locally that became a catalyst to start their very own vinyard.
Since 2021 the pair have focussed on biodynamic  practices, making their signature red, the Blacknose Vino de la Tierra Ibiza.
They are currently regenerating the land and also making some local artisanal wine with grapes from Santa Agnes also, which Jo went to taste along with their award winning Blacknose 2018 vintage.

This week we meet mindset coach Elizabeth Walker on the sands of Santa Eulalia to talk about how she left her life,  living in Cyprus with her two children and took a leap into the unknown to move to ibiza.
Elizabeth began life on the island as a body worker and massage therapist, but as she learned more about peoples physical pain, fascial connections and blockages through her hands, her curiosity as to where the emotional and mental barriers began, grew.  She now runs her own business and creates space for others to locate those issues and help them unravel their trauma and work through the barriers that are holding them back from living their best lives.

This week we meet a lady from the town the British sitcom,  Last of the Sumer Wine was created in, Holmfirth.
Helen Dickenson, is an anxiety Coach and also works with Hypnosis to treat patients against their fears.
This weekend she has a workshop, called Tread on The Dread, which attracted me to have a chat to her, ahead of an acting workshop I had signed up to to create next week's podcast on Lab 101.
Lately it takes a little extra focus and attention, not to get dragged into the world of doom, so keeping the vibes high is becoming an art form and to maintain a place for the mind to stay at peace.
I loved this conversation with Helen who is bubbly and lots of fun.   
She is also a DJ, and only started at aged 40 something. In todays show, we discuss starting your dreams later on in life, as well as how i should approach, what i essentially my worst nightmare, to Tread the boards or just be on stage and in front of others but i felt, if through the courses i teach, i am always persuading others to reveal themselves and put themselves out there, maybe i need to do the same....

With news dropping last week of the clubs of Ibiza Re-opening, we caught up with Scott Gray AKA Chapter, an Artist and DJ from London to hear how he is feeling about the Re-Birth of the island this spring.
Scott is one of the founding members of Melon Bomb, a feel good party that is soon to be back in action.  Alongside Paul Reynolds,  the pair play with Juan Corbi and Ben Santiago everywhere from Hi to Pikes & they are looking forward to getting back to what they Love and whats the island is usually renowned for.
In his ten years here, Scott has been on a hugely transformative creative, but also personal path, and tells Jo all about his road to giving up the booze & eating  all animal produce to become vegan.
The pair meet at the disused Festival club for today's episode to soak in the urban decay vibes that Scott says have inspired some of his work off the decks and to tell the story of the venue that closed back in 1974, as ibiza hit the oil crisis that had a huge impact on the number of tourists flocking to the island.

Ibiza's very first book of historical fiction has landed.
A book rammed with adventures of the first settlers that came to ibiza before the Greeks and the Romans in 650 BC.
It's a period when the Western Mediterrenean was quite unexplored and there were suspicions, Ibiza might have had a sad, depleted tribe on it, left over from the Bronze Ages and the story centres around a girl, who may have remained rom the inhabitants before these new comers arrived.
Pine Tree island is the first novel written by today's guest, Ben Dunwell and he hopes it could form part of a trilogy.
Recent times, were not the most inspirational for Ben and he shares his trials and tribulations, like all of us, to stay creative in such turbulence and also his story of how he came to the island for the very first time to study as a clown, as you do!
The book has been published by Barbary Press and is out at all good Ibiza Book Stores  -  also in San Juan, where Ben lives with his family.
We also have a signed copy to give away on this episode.
