- Decoding Ibiza: From the Airwaves to Akasha with Igor Marijuan
As Ibiza evolves, how does its soul survive the commercialization of club culture?
Igor Marijuan is one of Ibiza’s most influential tastemakers — a DJ, radio pioneer, Artistic Director of Ibiza Global Radio, and Music Director of Akasha, two cultural cornerstones of the island’s precious sonic identity. For over two decades, he’s helped define what the world hears when it thinks of Ibiza: free-spirited, timeless, and deeply rooted in community.
From the early days of underground radio to building the sound movement of Akasha during the stillness of the pandemic, Igor has redefined what club culture can stand for: music over money and essence over ego. In this episode, he shares his vision for a more sustainable future for the island and the electronic scene at large - one that honors authenticity, accessibility, and respect for the music’s spiritual roots by rejecting inflated headline fees and honoring community instead of competition.
“Everyone wants to take from Ibiza. Few ask what they’re giving back.”
Join us as we explore:
✅ How Ibiza’s soul endures beyond the social media illusion
✅Pushing back against astronomical DJ fees and exclusivity contracts
✅ The new realities in 2025 between venues and artists in Ibiza
✅ How to build longevity as an artist in the age of algorithms
✅ The cultural divide shaping the North of the island
✅ What bookers really look for when receiving 50+ requests a day
