Interesting line-up this week with London Grammar and AlunaGeorge playing for the first time on the island... we love to see again in that stage some of our favourites but it's great to see new talent too. Both artists have collaborated on Disclosure's first album Settle (the first on "Help Me Lose My Mind" and the second on "White Noise"), who we saw at We Are Rockstars last summer.
London Grammar have released the EP's Metal & Dust and Wasting My Young Years, in advance to their debut album If You Wait due for release in september, and are about to release a third one called Strong.
We love everything we've hear from them so we were looking forward to experience it live. The London trio played "Hey Now", "Darling Are You Gonna Leave Me" and "Metal & Dust" along with the still unreleased "Interlude", "Stay Awake" and "Strong" plus an unexpected cover of Chris Isaak's "Wicked Game" that gave us goosebumps. The singer Hannah left people mesmerized with her wonderful voice, that remind us a little bit to Florence Welch... actually, everyone we were bumping into afterwards was talking about that voice and one of the bar staff even admitted she almost cried. Their music might seem simple in its form but it's definitely rich in emotion!
They were absolutely brilliant, especially the shy singer who has an outstanding voice. Shame they only played for 35 mintues... but what incredible 35 minutes!
Monki & Slick Don were announced to be part of this week's line-up only a few days ago.
BBC Radio 1's Monki already debuted in Ibiza on july 5th when she appeared at We Are Rockstars and she will repeat in august on Carl Cox's night. This time she came accompanied by the MC Slick Don.
They kept the crowd bouncing and ready for the arrival of the headliners.
The London duo AlunaGeorge were featured on one of the biggest songs of the year, Disclosure's "White Noise", and have just released their debut album "Body Music" some weeks ago.
Aluna Francis (vocals) and George Reid (synths), accompanied by a rhythm section formed by a drummer and a bassist, played half of the album (including their rendition of "This Is How We Do It" by Montell Jordan) and the Disclosure collaboration "White Noise", which got the most positive reaction of the night along with the closig song "Your Drums, Your Love". They've only been on the scene for a short while but it's good to see them going from strength to strength!
One of the most talked about music duos came and conquered!
On a curious note, in the VIP there was a lot of excitement among girls (and some boys too!) to see The X Factor boy band JLS who were up there having a ball.
