Roger Sanchez "I view sounds as colours on a palette"
Roger Sanchez joined Alan and Clara in Ibiza to reflect on an extraordinary career that began in Queens, New York, taking him from breakdancing and underground house parties to becoming one of the world’s most respected DJs and producers.
Roger recalls discovering music through breakdancing, before moving into DJing and becoming immersed in funk, disco, hip hop and New York house culture. He talks about making and selling mixtapes and his early productions that first got him noticed including 'Luv Dancing' on Strictly Rhythm. He tells the story of creating Another Chance, sampling Toto for what was intended to be an underground album track - only for it to become Defected's first UK No. 1.
His connection with Ibiza began in 1995, and he explains why the island immediately felt like a second home. Roger looks back at some of his most memorable Ibiza moments, his relationship with Pacha and Flower Power, and the importance of understanding and preserving the culture behind the island’s clubs.
Roger discusses the DJs who have influenced him, from Larry Levan, Tony Humphries and Timmy Regisford to Carl Cox, Jeff Mills, Frankie Knuckles, David Morales and Danny Tenaglia. For Roger, technical ability is important, but the real skill is understanding the crowd. His latest album Spectrum, created over several years and featuring collaborations including Mel C, reflects his belief that sound can be viewed like colour with each track occupying a different part of an emotional spectrum.
Now celebrating the 25th anniversary of ‘Another Chance’, with more new music and Flower Power plans ahead, Roger shows no signs of slowing down and we’re delighted to induct him as the first American DJ and producer into the Ibiza Hall Of Fame.

John Truelove "I drove up and down the country with You Got The Love white labels"
Ibiza resident John Truelove joined us back in April at IMS ibiza to reflect on a remarkable journey through dance music - from the early days of the M25 orbital rave scene to creating one of the most enduring anthems in club culture 'You Got the Love'.
John first discovered Ibiza in 1991, having already experienced the Summer of Love and the rave scene in Britain. He recalls the freedom of arriving on an island where the parties never seemed to stop, and how Ibiza quickly became somewhere he felt completely at home. After years of visiting, he finally made the move in 2008.
The conversation takes us behind the story of 'You Got the Love' - how a studio experiment combining the Candi Staton vocal with Frankie Knuckles and Jamie Principle's 'Your Love' became a record that would define an era. John explains how he pressed the first white labels, drove around the UK delivering records to independent shops himself, and worked to secure the permissions needed for an official release.
The track reached No. 4 in the UK charts in 1991, before John revisited it with the 1997 version, which went on to enjoy a remarkable second life, including a later note-for-note cover by Florence + The Machine.
John also discusses the less visible side of the music business. Through Truelove Music Publishing, he works with producers, composers and songwriters to protect their rights, register their music and collect royalties from the many different sources where their work is played. He explains why music publishing matters, how artists can lose control of their compositions, and why understanding the business behind the music is as important as making it.
There are plenty of reflections on Ibiza, too — from the island’s 24-hour clubbing culture and the legendary after-parties to how the scene has changed, the growth of daytime events and the different experiences Ibiza now offers.

Judge Jules “On Judgement Sundays opening the queue went around the block twice”
Judge Jules joins the Ibiza Hall Of Fame to look back on a remarkable career spanning more than three decades - from his early days as a young DJ and law student to becoming one of the UK’s biggest DJs, a legendary BBC Radio 1 broadcaster, producer and music lawyer.
He recalls his first trip to Ibiza in 1988, when he played his first gig at Pacha, and how the island quickly became an important part of his career. He shares memories of the early Ibiza scene, the clubs, promoters and characters that shaped the island, and the very different experience of visiting Ibiza in the late 1980s and 1990s.
A major part of the conversation focuses on Judgement Sundays, which launched in 2000 at the venue that became Eden in San Antonio. Jules recalls the decision to create his own branded Ibiza night, the huge queue on the opening night and how the night developed into one of the island’s defining weekly events. He also talks about booking DJs such as Tiësto, Armin van Buuren, Eric Prydz and Ferry Corsten early in their careers and building diverse line-ups around emerging talent.
He also reflects on the evolution of Ibiza, the rising cost of visiting the island and the growth of daytime events aimed at an older generation of clubbers.
Now balancing an international DJ career with specialist music law, Jules reflects on how the industry and Ibiza has changed - and not always to the benefit of the younger clubbers.
