Wax Da Jam Presents: Daddy G of Massive Attack at Aura Ibiza (7/8/12)
Elle Magazine last month described Wax Da Jam as "quite simply the best night you'll have on Ibiza". For this special event DJ's / Artists DJ E.A.S.E, Negghead, Shovell The Drum Warrior, Wolfgang Haffner will be joined by special guest Daddy G on the 7th August. This promises to be one of the best nights of the year.
Daddy G as spiritus rector of what has historically become known as the “Bristol Soundâ€. It´s that laid back sound that breathes dub, reggae, funk, disco and hip hop, represented by protagonists like Massive Attack, Smith & Mighty, Tricky and Portishead. A sound that left its global traces for more than one and a half decades. And Daddy G is its spiritus rector because he was one of the founders of the Wild Bunch Sound System, out of which later Massive Attack emerged. Besides Mushroom and 3-D, Daddy G was both one of the core members of the group as well as one of the group´s main voices.
Way before being part of a band though, Daddy G was known as a DJ. As a ten year old he already recorded mix tapes, inspired by the DJ boyfriend of his older sister. 1980 he was one of the youngest Bristol DJs, quickly establishing his name as a synonym for an eclectic music style. At the parties at which G played, one could always hear the newest in disco, fresh punk funk from NY, the first rap imports as well as soul and dub reggae. When the Wild Bunch Sound System was founded, Daddy G already was a local celebrity. His DJ sets were not only legendary because of their selection and his mixing skills, but because he rocked the microphone as versatile as the wheels of steel.
There are DJs, that get their kicks from playing out obscure white labels that no one knows. And then there´s DJs who simply enjoy playing their favourite records. Daddy G belongs to the latter.
Strictly no entry after 3am so arrive early to avoid disappointment.

It's a blooming shame actually - it was a really nice vibe up there and one of the few remaining more 'wholesome' party places after dinner, also nice and close for people on that side of the island. No excuse to stop at the "only man standing" brothel on the way now either 
- heck, that place had a Bangkok Hilton air about it
