   Graham Sahara on Nearly Three Decades in Ibiza, Pacha Residencies and the Island’s Wildest Stories

   In this episode of Loud & Unfiltered, part of our Inside Ibiza S3 series, we sit down with Graham Sahara - multi-award-winning DJ, producer and Founder of Sahara Music Group - for a conversation packed with two decades' worth of anecdotes from the heart of the island's club scene. Graham landed in Ibiza in 1997, having just turned 20, not speaking a word of Spanish and knowing next to nothing about the island. As he puts it, it just sounded like a sensible idea at the time. What followed was one of the most enduring careers on the White Isle - a residency at the legendary Pacha Ibiza that began around the turn of the millennium, alongside sets at KM5 Bar Lounge and virtually every major venue on the island. We talk about what Ibiza was really like back then - hedonism on another level, where you could be on the dancefloor with a junkie to your left and a Saudi prince to your right, and nobody batted an eyelid. Graham is full of stories from those years, and this episode doesn't hold back. Beyond the decks, Graham has built a career as a genre-defying selector, moving effortlessly between deep, soulful house, tech house, techno and Balearic rhythms - work that's earned him Best Ibiza DJ at the Ibiza DJ Awards in 2017 and the same title from the Ibiza Clubbing Guide. He's released and remixed for labels like Ministry of Sound, Hed Kandi, Armada Music and Spinnin' Records, and today runs Sahara Music Group, a label services operation behind some of the scene's biggest underground and crossover acts, alongside A&R and management work across imprints including Seamless Recordings, Electric Ibiza and Electronic Nature. We get into how Ibiza has changed since the late '90s, what's stayed the same, and why Graham - one of the island's biggest and most likeable characters - has never wanted to leave.

   Nick Ferguson on Rising from Street PR to Running Ibiza's Biggest Club Nights

   In this episode of Loud & Unfiltered, part of our Inside Ibiza S3 series, we sit down with Nick Ferguson - Founder and Managing Director of The Supernova Group - to unpack a career that's shaped some of the island's most iconic nights out.Nick's story starts far from the White Isle. Growing up in Cornwall, he lived a fairly sheltered life as a hardcore indie kid, more interested in guitars than dance music. That changed when his mates, dead set on a trip to Ibiza, sat him down to watch Ibiza Uncovered in 1998. One viewing was all it took - Nick fell in love with Amnesia before he'd even set foot on the island.From there, the journey moved fast: entry-level grafting as a ticket seller and PR for San Antonio bars like Bay Bar and Kanya, before working his way up to nearly a decade running Cream Ibiza at Amnesia, cementing its status as a legendary Thursday night institution.Today, through The Supernova Group, Nick is behind some of the island's biggest brands and concepts - One More Time Ibiza at Eden, the Kevin & Perry Amnesia Experience, Shine Ibiza alongside Paul van Dyk, and global stewardship of Godskitchen - alongside close work with BBC Radio 1, Defected and CamelPhat. He's sold out Eden with Defected, sold out Pacha with CamelPhat, and been part of events that have sold out every single club on the island.He'll also tell you he's not on Instagram - so you might not recognise his face, but chances are you've danced to something he built.We get into the reality of building brands that last on an island where trends move fast, what it takes to sell out a club night after night, and how a Cornish indie kid became one of Ibiza's most influential promoters.Subscribe to Loud & Unfiltered for more unfiltered conversations with music industry leaders, innovators and cultural entrepreneurs, and connect with us on Instagram @loudandunfilteredpod
