IMS Ibiza, a thought-leadership platform at the precipice of culture, education, industry and wellness in electronic music, announces today the first details of its carefully curated programming for the fourteenth edition of the summit, hosted at the inspiring Destino Pacha Ibiza Resort, which, for the second year, will be privatized exclusively for attending delegates. Across three days, the summit will unite innovators, creators, visionaries and disruptors from across the global electronic music ecosystem for analysis of the most crucial business challenges and opportunities facing our industry today.

Co-hosted by leading BBC Radio 1 broadcasters Pete Tong MBE and Jaguar, the summit will deconstruct the topics and issues that really matter, inspiring ethical and sustainable growth, and catalysing positive change from the boardroom to the dance floor. Topics will include a dissection of the complexities of AI, the next steps for music and Web3, diversity & inclusion, the impact of ageism in electronic music, music rights management, understanding neurodiversity, the ever-changing dynamic between agents and promoters, an analysis of music journalism, plus the unveiling of the much anticipated IMS Business Report and its widely quoted annual industry valuation figure, which has become critical to the industry’s positioning and success.

  • In his debut appearance at IMS Ibiza, Max Lousada (Warner Music Group, CEO, Recorded Music) will reflect upon his long and influential career in the music industry in a keynote interview, covering his deep affinity for Ibiza and electronic music and lifting the lid on his vision for the future of WMG’s global recorded music operations.
  • Having carved out a reputation as one of the freshest new artists in UK club culture, BBC Radio 1 Resident and Hooversound label boss SHERELLE (Artist) will be joined in conversation with Fabio & Grooverider (Artists), the pioneering DJ duo that shaped the sound of drum 'n' bass and played a vital role in establishing the house, techno and early breakbeat scenes in the UK.
  • In ‘Reclaim Your Rights’ Ben Mawson (Co-Founder, TaP Music) will present a fascinating case study on how TaP Music spearheaded the lawsuit that led to house legends Larry Head and Robert Owens winning a major court battle to reclaim the rights to their back catalogue after decades of struggle.
  • A live recording of the ‘Takin’ Care of Lady Busine$$’ podcast will unite Jennifer Justice (Founder/CEO, The Justice Dept.), an entertainment and live experience executive and former attorney to Jay-Z, known for her expertise in building artists’ careers, with TOKiMONSTA (Artist) to discuss the latter's new venture as Co-Founder of SONA, a Web3-based music protocol putting artists in control of the culture they create.
  • Fat Tony (Artist), will share the journey of his ascent to kingpin of the 80s and 90s club scene as one of London’s most notoriously hedonistic DJs, to rehab and recovery, in an intimate and revealing keynote interview.
  • Planet in Progress by foundation.fm will present DJ, producer, pianist, activist, founder of Femme House and Music Director for W Hotels, LP Giobbi (Artist) leading a workshop to teach key skills in Sound Production, Engineering and Design for women, queer and non-binary folk.
  • Elijah (Founder, Make The Ting) will present his workshop ‘Social Media As A Canvas’, sharing his wisdom and expertise around cutting through the noise on social media to build resonant brands and get your voice heard as an artist.
  • In ‘Trust The Process’ Cristiana Simon (Artist Manager, Alegria Agency) manager of Grammy-Award winning artist Black Coffee will share her experiences of taking a leap of faith as a young manager
  • IMS finally brings back the Presidential Debate to the speaker floor, as Tom Schroeder (Wasserman, Partner; Agency) goes head-to-head with a leading promoter yet to be announced
  • Live tastemaker and master curator David Sinopoli (Founder, iii Points; Co-Owner, Club Space) will share some of his secrets around building one of the world's most credibly curated and creatively cutting-edge festivals and while managing one of the world's biggest nightclubs, making Miami one of the most important cities in the global dance landscape.
Each year, IMS Ibiza presents opportunities for delegates to explore best practice and innovation in technology, diversity & inclusion, education & wellness, presented in engaging formats discoverable across the sprawling seaside Destino Pacha Resort site.

Wellness platform The Art of Areté will once again be fully integrated into the IMS Ibiza experience free of charge to all attendees thanks to the generosity of Pioneer DJ. It will offer daily programming supporting the mental health of our industry, including Vedic Meditation training (as taught by Beatles' guru Maharishi Mahesh Yogi), breathwork, yoga, sound healing, sunset walks, and keynote artist interviews to be announced.

IMS College, presented in partnership with Point Blank Music School, will offer a complete schedule of artist-led workshops and DJ & production masterclasses. In between the on-stage sessions, delegates will be able to drop in for one-on-one production feedback, career coaching and product demonstrations.

IMS Tech X will showcase the very latest in technology, providing a carefully curated selection of the world’s most innovative brands, including Pioneer DJ, TribeXR and more.

The YouTube Lounge, will create an all purpose co-working space for delegates to host meetings, network and enjoy refreshments. Daily drop-in sessions will invite delegates to come and meet the YouTube team for open discussions on all aspects of the platform and best practice advice for the electronic music industry. Lounges will also be presented by Beatport, Deezer and Party Degenerates.

The IMS Legends Awards Dinner presented by YouTube will return to celebrate and recognise a true pioneer in the electronic music world for their outstanding contribution to the industry. Previous winners include Simon Dunmore - founder of Defected Records, Underworld, Nile Rodgers, Fatboy Slim, Carl Cox and Ricardo Urgell, founder of Pacha Ibiza, and the worldwide Pacha Group.

IMS co-founder and lead curator Ben Turner states:
“IMS returns to open the Ibiza season with a powerful and diverse mix of carefully considered content focused on the key issues facing our industry today. In 2023, we no longer have the luxury of speculating about the future: AI has fully arrived, and things will move fast from this point forward. In our industry's first full year back to business after COVID, we're presented with a dizzying array of new products, problems, and possibilities. Artists finally returning to touring do so amongst a huge generational shift and soaring production and travel costs whilst attempting to navigate the increasingly complex environmental issues surrounding live music. As a tidal wave of AI-generated content sweeps in, some welcome a new era of creative possibilities, while others lament the loss of another aspect of humanity in music, all while a cornucopia of unanswered questions are created concerning the control of rights. It's time for us to collectively ‘Face the Future’.”

Dan Chalmers, Head of Music EMEA YouTube states:
"YouTube is proud to support IMS in bringing together world-leading music pioneers. Innovation has always been at the heart of electronic music; forums like IMS are vital to bring us together as an industry to explore how we can collectively innovate and break new ground in the face of an ever evolving technological landscape. Change comes from within, and we're excited to continue our partnership with IMS to empower the next generation of music visionaries.”

IMS Ibiza Summit delegates will also be able to experience some of the hottest parties and events on the island, including the iconic IMS Dalt Vila closing celebration.

IMS DALT VILA
A UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE SITE
Presented by
PIONEER DJ & YOUTUBE


FRIDAY 28 APRIL 2023
17.00 - 24.00 CET

International Music Summit (IMS) today announces their highly anticipated annual IMS Dalt Vila event in the world’s number one dance music destination, Ibiza. Widely regarded as the starting point of the summer season, the event brings together a unique collection of diverse and exciting DJ talent, both rising and established names who are trailblazing on the international electronic music scene.

Presented in partnership with Pioneer DJ and YouTube, the seven-hour musical celebration marks the closing of the 14th edition of the three-day summit and flagship event of IMS Ibiza 2023. This unmissable event is held in the old town of Ibiza at the historic 2,500 year-old former fort and UNESCO World Heritage Site, Dalt Vila, providing spectacular views of the Catedral de Eivissa with panoramic views of the Mediterranean sea.

The IMS Dalt Vila 2023 line-up showcases extraordinary talent with a headline performance by one of the most successful and influential dance acts in music today, the multi-platinum DJ and production duo Dave Whelan and Mike Di Scala, better known as CamelPhat. The GRAMMY and Ivor Novello-nominated duo from Liverpool enjoyed a meteoric rise to the top of the dance music world since breaking through with global hit ‘Cola’ in 2017. They have continued to evolve their sound, releasing a slew of hits, and becoming one of Beatport’s biggest-selling artists of all time.

Also performing is ANNA, the Brazilian born techno producer and DJ supremo. A skilled and accomplished selector, her performances are always energetic, engaging and captivating. ANNA’s gigs at the legendary Warung Beach Club, D-Edge and Time Warp Brazil in her home country are the stuff of legend. She just announced a new ambient project with Mercury KX / Decca / Universal.

Kölsch, the Danish Kompact label boss, DJ and producer has rewritten the rulebook of techno production over his two-decade long career will perform back to back with IMS co-host, BBC Radio 1 DJ and broadcaster and iconic figurehead of dance music Pete Tong (MBE).

The pedigree of names continues featuring Drumcode aficionado Ida Engberg back to back with one of the most recognisable and respected seminal DJs of our time Marshall Jefferson, an original innovator in Chicago house and a founding father of house music as it is known today. Marshall was a central figure in the development of the Chicago house scene, Acid and Deep House movements and produced seminal house anthems including ‘Move Your Body’ which influenced a generation of music makers. Ida has carved herself a career as a DJ/Producer through relentless hard work and passion. Now an internationally recognized talent whose taste for stripped back, sweat-on-the-ceiling techno and her discerning ear for deep house.

For the first time at IMS Dalt Vila two generations of DJs unite as the father-daughter pairing of Layla Benitez and Jellybean Benitez perform back to back. Jellybean Benitez hung out at Studio 54 and worked with some of the world’s most influential artists, including Madonna and Whitney Houston. He will be joined by his daughter Layla who has taken influence from his sound, building in an admiration for classic and cutting-edge melodies, channeling an eclectic mix of deep house, world harmonies and soul sounds.

To complete the unique line up, IMS Ibiza co-host Jaguar will go back to back with emerging talent TAAHLIAH. Jaguar is amongst the new guard of young talent steering UK dance music towards brighter waters. She’s a next-gen tastemaker instigating change through projects such as UTOPIA and The Jaguar Foundation She will be joined by TAAHLIAH, an ascending DJ & Producer from Glasgow who has made her name in the underground queer club scenes of Berlin & Glasgow. Crystallising a new dawn in electronic music, TAAHLIAH constantly seems to challenge the idea that fun and experimental are antonyms. Nothing expresses that better than her viral Boiler Room where mainstream EDM & the sharpest edge of contemporary electronic music cohabit on a tracklist that reads like a manifesto for dance music’s future.

Opening the event will be the winner of the Pete Tong DJ Academy Future Talent Awards, an initiative to celebrate the promising upcoming DJ talent from around the world.

IMS Dalt Vila is an extraordinary, unmissable event, providing an unforgettable moment to dance under the stars and kick off the summer season in Ibiza.

PETE TONG & DJ SPOONY TO HOST EXCLUSIVE
INDUSTRY AWARD DINNER AT IMS IBIZA
PRESENTED IN PARTNERSHIP WITH YOUTUBE

Beachouse Ibiza

International Music Summit (IMS) will celebrate the outstanding achievements of electronic music industry titan Mike Pickering at IMS Ibiza, who is today announced as the recipient of the IMS Legends Award 2023. Mike will be honoured during IMS Ibiza at a celebratory dinner presented in partnership with YouTube, hosted by IMS co-founder and BBC Radio 1 broadcaster Pete Tong and DJ, radio and television presenter, DJ Spoony.

Mike Pickering is a true pioneer and visionary in electronic music, his achievements are numerous: Hacienda DJ, Factory Records A&R signing Happy Mondays, Deconstruction Records boss bringing Black Box, Guru Josh, K Klass, Felix and Kyle Minogue and of course his own M People to the world, Columbia Records A&R who signed Calvin Harris - these are just a few highlights of a long career that has left a lasting legacy on electronic music and its culture.

Mike began his career at Factory Records in the early 1980’s as an A&R man signing Happy Mondays and James. Simultaneously Mike formed his own band Quando Quango, who enjoyed an underground dance hit in the US with the track “Love Tempo”, championed by legendary DJ’s Larry Levan and Mark Kamins in the New York club scene.

Pickering went on to work at the legendary Manchester clubbing mecca the Hacienda, as a booker and DJ, staying at the iconic club for eleven years he created the NUDE night on Fridays, which pioneered house music in the UK.

In 1987 Mike started the band TCOY who’s first release was the underground hit “Carino”, one of the first British house records, he started the label Deconstruction with his then managers. In the 90’s Deconstruction took dance music to the charts with massive hits from Black Box, Guru Josh, K Klass, Felix and Kyle Minogue as well as with Pickering’s own band M People. M People went on to sell 14 million albums and had countless hit singles whilst selling out arenas around the world. The group won 2 Brit awards and the Mercury prize for their album “Elegant slumming”.

After M People Mike joined Columbia Records as A&R where he signed and helped the careers of Calvin Harris, Kasabian, The Ting Tings and Gossip amongst many others. Mike still DJ’s and was recently involved in the Hacienda Classical concerts which included a performance on the Pyramid stage at Glastonbury to open the festival.

Mike’s contribution to dance music is undeniable and he joins an esteemed list of previous recipients of this award which include: Underworld, Nile Rodgers, Fatboy Slim, Pete Tong, Sven Väth, Carl Cox, Simon Dunmore, Space Ibiza founder Pepe Roselló, Mambo Ibiza founder Javier Anadon and Ricardo Urgell founder of Pacha Ibiza and the worldwide Pacha Group.

An annual and unmissable event, the IMS Legends Dinner presented by YouTube will unite industry leaders from across electronic music culture to enjoy an evening of celebration, with surprise performances, and entertainment and the annual Bridges For Music charity auction.

Mike Pickering comments:
“I am really honoured to get this award and so proud to be joining such a great list of recipients. I’m really looking forward to the night.”

IMS Partner Ben Turner comments:
“Mike Pickering’s contribution to electronic music culture is immeasurable. From his A&R vision with the Happy Mondays in the late-80s through to redefining popular dance music today with the signing of Calvin Harris - he has been involved in many major crossover cultural moments. And then there is his own M People project; his work with the Hacienda; Deconstruction; Manchester. He’s one of the true unsung heroes of dance music’s rise to global dominance and one of our most gifted musical directors - period.”

Dan Chalmers Head of Music YouTube, EMEA comments:
“I can’t think of anyone more worthy than Mike to receive the “Legend Of Ibiza” award. From being one of the first handful of DJs responsible for bringing House music to the UK via the Hacienda - through to his work with today’s Global superstars like Calvin Harris - his footprint and taste is forever imprinted on Dance and Ibizan culture. ”

GRIMES ANNOUNCED FOR IN PERSON KEYNOTE
AT IMS IBIZA 2023


THE VISIONARY PRODUCER, SONGWRITER AND EXPERIMENTAL ARTIST IS SET TO SHARE INSIGHTS INTO MUSIC TECH, AI AND THE METAVERSE

FULL SUMMIT & EVENTS
PROGRAMME ANNOUNCED

APRIL 26 – 28 2023
DESTINO PACHA IBIZA RESORT

See Full Schedule Here

IMS Ibiza, a thought-leadership platform for culture, education, industry and wellness in electronic music, announces today full details of its carefully curated programming for the fourteenth edition of the summit.
Following a history of sensational closing keynotes from the likes of Nile Rodgers, George Clinton and the Pet Shop Boys, IMS Ibiza will welcome another extraordinary innovator in the arts to share personal insight in a keynote interview, experimental artist and visionary global star Grimes.

Grimes has become known as one of the past decade’s most fearless and adventurous solo artists. Defying any rules and restrictions that may exist around music creation and curation, she has embraced technology in the most powerful ways, immersively applying it to all aspects of her musical career. A powerful advocate of Ai and Web3 technologies in music and NFT art creation, boldly professing that AI is humanity's natural evolution. Her unparalleled and captivating digital music experimentation and social media footprint, including virtual bands in the metaverse, shines light on climate change and continuously pushes the boundaries of digital technology and the freedom that it awards for creatives both now and in the future.

In 2021, she set the NFT world on fire with the release of WarNymph Collection Vol 1 By Grimes x Mac. The collection contains 10 artworks, including a unique video work set to original music composed specifically for the project. Additionally, Grimes appeared as a judge on Fox’s virtual avatar competition show, “Alter Ego.” Through the character of WarNymph and her decentralised AI girl group NPC, Grimes explores the fluidity of identity in the virtual age: the ability to create, augment and splinter ourselves into unlimited avatars.

The keynote by Grimes + many others at IMS Ibiza will be hosted at the inspiring Destino Pacha Ibiza Resort, which, for the second year, will be privatised exclusively for attending delegates. Across three days, the summit will unite innovators, creators, visionaries and disruptors from across the global electronic music ecosystem for analysis of the most crucial business challenges and opportunities facing our industry today.
IMS Ibiza 2023 will be co-hosted by leading BBC Radio 1 broadcasters Pete Tong MBE and Jaguar, the summit will deconstruct the topics and issues that really matter, inspiring ethical and sustainable growth, and catalysing positive change from the boardroom to the dance floor.

Topics will include a dissection of the complexities of AI, the next steps for music and Web3, diversity & inclusion, the impact of ageism in electronic music, music rights management, understanding neurodiversity, the ever-changing dynamic between agents and promoters, an analysis of music journalism, plus the unveiling of the much anticipated IMS Business Report and its widely quoted annual industry valuation figure, which has become critical to the industry’s positioning and success.

Also Icons of the electronic music industry will be recognised and celebrated with The IMS Legends Awards Dinner In honour of Mike Pickering (M People, Hacienda legend, A&R icon) hosted by YouTube at the exclusive Beach House.

With many other activations happening all around the summit to discover, look out for Earth Percent who are partnering with IMS Ibiza to host a special social area for delegates to connect, discuss and learn more about the intersectionality of music and climate. Expect live interviews and a podcast hosted by Jo Youle raising the bar on music and climate consciousness.

There is a focus on health and wellbeing with Arete’ mindful morning walks, Yoga and Vedic Mediatation. IMS Ibiza Summit delegates will also be able to experience some of the hottest parties and events on the island, including the iconic IMS Dalt Vila seven hour closing celebration and after party with Grimes at Club Chinois. The official IMS Opening Party at Club Chinos, Jaguar presents at Pikes Hotel and UNUM Festival Pre-party, Ushuaia Opening party and many others.

IMS co-founder and lead curator Ben Turner states:
‘Grimes is one of the most important, impactful and creative artists of our times. A true visionary - sonically, lyrically, philosophically….and then there’s that angelic voice. It is a true honour to host her at IMS for our finale keynote interview in what is a rare visit to Ibiza. She will also be performing - more news to come.’
