New talent joins Ibiza Rocks and Mallorca rocks

New talent joins Ibiza Rocks and Mallorca rocks 2012

RISING STARS JAKE BUGG, TOY, DOT ROTTEN, MODESTEP and AN21

JOIN FELLOW BREAKTHROUGH ACTS THE MILK, SPECTOR, DJ FRESH

PRESENTS FRESH/LIVE, FENECH-SOLER AND AZEALIA BANKS ON THE BEST LIVE BILL ON THE BALEARICS 

ROCKS PROUDLY PRESENTS A PLATFORM FOR THE FRESHEST TALENT TO PERFORM ALONGSIDE THE WORLD’S BEST ESTABLISHED LIVE ACTS, UNDER THE STARS

‘Rocks’ have already bagged a bill of the most in demand festival headliners for the 16 week sun-drenched series of gigs in Mallorca and Ibiza this summer and staying true to form, the Balearics foremost live music promoters will proudly present a support bill made up of the freshest and finest breaking talent around.  Jake Bugg, TOY, Dot Rotten, Modestep and AN21 join fellow supporting artists The Milk, Spector, DJ Fresh Presents FRESH/LIVE, Fenech-Soler and the hottest property in music right now, Azealia Banks.

Championed by Rocks own Music Director Zane Lowe, Jake Bugg is on the right track to be one of this year’s best breakthrough artists. Producing music way beyond his years in the mould of Bob Dylan and Don Maclean, Jake Bugg will support Ben Howard at Ibiza Rocks on 4th July. 

TOY are currently taking the live circuit by storm, having supported The Horrors on tour and selling out their own UK headline tour last month.  Very much a ‘must see’ for 2012, TOY support Kasabian at Mallorca and Ibiza Rocks in July. 

London rapper Dot Rotten was nominated for the BBC’s Sound of 2012 poll and his forthcoming third single Overload’ (sampling the 1996 hit ‘Children’ by Robert Miles) is certain to become one seriously hot summer anthem.  Rocks fans will witness Dot Rotten light up the Balearics in full support of Chase & Status.

London lads Modestep already have a mammoth following and a Top 20 hit with single ‘Sunlight’ under their belt. There’ll be plenty more sunlight in store when the boys get Balearics bound in support of Tinie Tempah in August.

Mallorca Rocks recently announced the addition of Swedish House Mafia’s Steve Angello to the bill and it’s with huge excitement that Rocks can confirm that it will be a family affair, with Angello’s younger brother AN21 supporting him at Mallorca Rocks in June.

Shane Murray, Ibiza Rocks Group promoter, said: “New music is a big part of what we're all about - hearing that new track in some basement club or new band that just blow you away are the things that keeps us most excited.  We've booked so many acts in support slots over the years that have come back a year or two later to headline like Tinie Tempah and Bombay Bicycle Club and it feels great to be part of their journey. We can't wait to see the likes of Azealia Banks, Jake Bugg, Toy and Spector on the Rocks stages this summer.”

It’s only three weeks until Ed Sheeran and The Milk kick off the best ever series of Rocks gigs! Multi-million selling artists, the best breakthrough talent and music icons of old and new, united – live under the Balearic stars at Mallorca and Ibiza Rocks.  The brand offers a choice of quality accommodation options at exceptional value.  Summer 2012 will see 32 ‘Rocks’ gigs across 16 consecutive weeks.  Mallorca Rocks every Tuesday from 05 June – 18 September.  Ibiza Rocks every Wednesday from 06 June to 19 September.

Rock N Mola returns to Ibiza for 2012

LADIES FIRST at THE RETURN OF ROCK N MOLA

The island’s Retro event is back from 18-20th May, in La Marina Ibiza with its live music, vintage market, fashion show, classic car show, dance course and much more

Topping the LIVE bill, Lady Cherry and The Ladies (star of ‘Número Uno’, Antena3)

The Spanish all girl rock and roll group, The Ladies, fronted by recent competitor in Antena 3’s ‘Número Uno’, Lady Cherry, are to top the bill at the upcoming ROCK N MOLA festival. The area of La Marina, Ibiza will be rocking around the clock for the whole weekend from 18 to 20th May 2012. 

In addition to a full live music showcase across 10 venues, the retro weekender will also feature a vintage market, fashion show, classic car and bike exhibition, Americano movie screenings as well as a Baby Rockers mini event for the kids. 

Budding Peggy Sues will be able to star in their own pin-up photo shoot in the ROCK N MOLA Vintage Studio and in a collaboration with La Nave, the festival will also offer a Lindy Hop dance course as part of the planned activities. All that amongst much more with a whole host of businesses will be taking part with special themes and promotions.

“The Ladies just can’t wait to get to Ibiza”, said their lead singer Lady Cherry. 

“We hope to help fill the air with the essence and power of the 50’s and 60’s, with definite tinges of pin-up in there. Since my recent exit from the TV programme ‘Número Uno’ on Antena 3, I’ve had lots of support from all over the country, but to be able to go to Ibiza and soak up its heat, well, I am just over the moon! Taking part in this year's ROCK N MOLA is the icing on the cake, we can’t wait to spread some 

Rock n Roll energy in La Marina. ‘The Ladies’ make music but they also make a damn good party!”.

This year’s event of three days as opposed to last years 22 hours has expanded to fill not only the Mercado Viejo y La Marina with rock n roll colour but will also be taking over Plaza de Parque with a welcome event from early evening on Friday 18^th. Aside from DJs and live music, opening activities include a Lindy Hop exhibition and a chance to sign up for the dance course over the weekend.. Other locations for rockin’ rollin’ fun between the 18-20^th May include Plaza Sa Drassaneta and the frontline of Ibiza Port.

ROCK N MOLA will happen in the following locations: Plaza del Parque (Herry's Bar, Vila Café, Madagascar, Sunset, Pura Vida, Sargantana, Unión,  Perfumería, Central Park y Aramon); Mercat Vell (Croissant Show); Plaza de Sa Drassaneta (Sushiya Aoyama); La Marina (Can Pou, Demiedo, AK Pepua, Locura, Itaka) and Puerto de Ibiza (La Biela, Zoo, Thai'd Up).

Jillian Canney, one part of local PR Consultancy FIX Ibiza, ROCK N MOLA event organiser and lover of all things vintage said, “After last year’s first edition we can’t wait to get rockin’ and rollin’ one more time. We feel the event is a great pre summer season alternative for locals and tourists alike offering not only a different soundtrack from the Ibiza norm, but this year, many new additions to the programme including the ROCK N MOLA takeover of Plaza de Parque over the weekend not to mention the special appearance from Lady Cherry and the local bands. Basically, we can’t wait for the Return of ROCK N MOLA”.

PLAN B, THE MACCABEES, AXWELL, ROB DA BANK AND MORE FOR IBIZA AND MALLORCA ROCKS

PLUS MORE SHOWS FOR ZANE LOWE AND SOME OF THE BEST BREAKING BANDS INCLUDING

SPECTOR, FENECH-SOLER, THE MILK and THEME PARK ADDED TO LINE UP

Thanks to Ibiza Rocks, anticipation for summer has just stepped up another gear!  As excitement rapidly builds for the start of Mallorca and Ibiza Rocks 2012, so too does the line-up, with the announcement that Plan B, The Maccabees and Axwell are all on board and bound for the Balearics for unmissable headline ‘Rocks’ shows this summer.

As always, Ibiza Rocks will also present the best DJ’s, including a welcome return from Radio 1 DJ and Bestival head-honcho Rob da Bank who has a long history with ‘Rocks’ having played at the first ever gig at the opening of the Ibiza Rocks Hotel in 2008 and then at the 5th Birthday with The Prodigy. Rob da Bank is back and joins the line up with Ibiza boy Ben Howard (04/07). On top of that there’s the brilliant breaking talent throughout the season and organisers are pleased to announce that Spector, Fenech-Soler, The Milk and Theme Park and are amongst the first set of supreme support bands to be added to summer’s best bill.

Rob da Bank said: ‘I’ve been playing at Ibiza Rocks since it started and injected a much needed different vibe into Ibiza party life. I’ve loved playing many times since and can’t wait to get back to that crazy Ibiza Rocks Hotel and warm it up for the brilliant Ben Howard. Ibiza Rocks bloody well rocks!’ 

Following a phenomenal headline performance by Plan B at the ‘Rocks’ opening parties last year, organisers are delighted to welcome back the multi award-winning, multi-talented star to the main stage at Mallorca Rocks (03/07) and Ibiza Rocks (25/07).  A truly maverick figure in the world of music, Ben Drew’s diverse creativity is inexhaustible. Awards, accolades, acclaim and multi-platinum album sales are just the tip of his artistic ambitions. Following his quadruple- platinum No.1 second album, The Defamation of Strickland Banks, a BRIT, three Ivor Novello’s and  sold out headline tours, Drew, AKA Plan B, has just completed his self-penned directorial debut film and album, iLL Manors - a stark, often brutal and provocative depiction of Forest Gate, east London, where Drew was born and raised.    

Once again, Plan B will wow the crowds with chart-topping favourites form Defamation of Strickland Banks along with the promise of new material including iLL Manors, which will be a must buy, featuring production from Labrinth (Tinie Tempah), Chase & Status (Rihanna) and Al Shux (Jay-Z) - the soundscape is as bold and brilliant as its namesake. Bass-heavy, there’s references to the music Ben is listening to now (Rocks acts Azealia Banks and Maverick Sabre to name two) as well as the dubstep, bass, hip hop and D&B that have shaped him sonically over the years.  In Ibiza, Plan B will be joined by Ibiza Rocks Music Director and the UK’s most influential tastemaker, Zane Lowe – two of music’s biggest champions united on one incredible Balearic bill.

It’s fair to say that The Maccabees got off to a very good start in 2012, with the release of their third studio album Given to the Wild  storming into the Top 5, receiving mass critical acclaim and being hailed by The Sunday Times as ‘One of the albums of 2012.’ As well as a masterpiece of an album, the South London five-piece can boast sold out UK tours including their momentous homecoming show at Brixton Academy (their third headline sold out show at the London venue to date) and they still have their biggest headline gig to come (Alexandra Palace, 08/06). It is with huge excitement that Ibiza Rocks bring The Maccabees to the famous, open-air ‘Rocks’ stage for a truly unmissable gig that’s sure to be one of many crowning moments for the ‘must see’ band this year (20/06).

The Maccabees said: 'This will be our first time at Ibiza Rocks. It's a pleasure to be involved in such a strong line-up of shows this year. Thanks for having us!'

Also freshly announced is Swedish House Mafia’s own Axwell who will headline one of the summer’s hottest gigs, with British electro-poppers Fenech-Soler playing live in support (24/07).  Given that Swedish House Mafia are now a fully bonifide stadium selling act and have just headlined Coachella, this is quite a statement to have one of the main men making their way to Mallorca Rocks for this intimate, electric, outdoor show. 

Ibiza Rocks has consistently provided a platform for new and breakthrough talent, offering support slots to those they believe have what it takes to go all the way.  Tinie Tempah, Bombay Bicycle Club and Example are just a few previous support acts who have returned to headline in their own right.  This year will see another brilliant batch of breaking bands start their ‘Rocks’ journey. 

BBC’s Sound of 2012 nominees Spector have been impressively labeled as ‘somewhere between Roxy Music and the Strokes, the Killers and Kanye West, Pulp, R&B and Frank Sinatra’ (The Guardian). Spector are currently touring Europe with Florence and the Machine and have just made their first US appearance to the masses at California’s Coachella festival. Safe to say these boys don’t mess about! They are sure to be on their finest form when they support Kaiser Chiefs at Mallorca and Ibiza Rocks in June, with Zane Lowe also added to the bill to make these shows a triple triumph.

British electro pop giants Fenech-Soler’s single Stop and Stare brought a little bit of the Balearics to the UK and Demons brought a dark mix of dancey beats to the charts.  They also co-wrote and featured on Paper Romance by Groove Armada and the band is firmly at the top of the nu rave pile.  They are sure to put on a show to remember for fans when they play Mallorca Rocks in July, joining Axwell on the bill.

The Milk will be supporting Ed Sheeran at both ‘Rock’s opening parties in June.  These young soul rebels promise to bring something different to the Balearics, with their irresistibly infectious mix of classic northern soul, punk and reggae – a combination so favourable that NME have labeled them ‘the next band you all should be paying attention to’ and The Guardian say they are ‘the band you’ve been waiting for.’

Highly touted London four-piece Theme Park have been releasing demos online and dominating the charts on internet Radio before now finally starting to catch the attention of the mainstream, with standout tracks such as the insanely catchy Milk. They’ve been compared to the likes of Vampire Weekend and Metronomy and hailed as “fine and worthy successors to the funk-rock mantle previously held by Talking Heads.” Having toured recently with the likes of Florence and the Machine and Bombay Bicycle Club and with their debut album due out next month, Theme Park are ‘one to watch’ at ‘Rocks’ 2012 and will support The Maccabees.

The Ibiza Rocks brand consistently boasts a bill crammed with the biggest international artists and breakthrough talent live under the Balearic stars and offers a choice of quality accommodation options in Mallorca and Ibiza at exceptional value.  Summer 2012 will see 32 ‘Rocks’ gigs across 16 consecutive weeks.  Mallorca Rocks every Tuesday from 05 June – 18 September.  Ibiza Rocks every Wednesday from 06 June to 19 September.

Tickets and hotel packages available now at www.ibizarocks.com and www.mallorcarocks.com (Gig Tickets priced from £28.50 plus booking fee) *Special Opening & Closing Party Short Breaks from €104 (approx. £89) per person (see: Notes to Editors for full list of options and prices).

Carl Cox returns to Space Ibiza 2012

THE REVOLUTION RECRUITS @ SPACE IBIZA

EVERY TUESDAY FROM 3RD JULY UNTIL 18TH SEPTEMBER
 

London, UK (March 30, 2012) – Safehouse Management has just confirmed that Carl Cox will return to Space Ibiza for the 11th year in a row with his new Revolution Recruits concept. The opening party is happening on July 3rd with an amazing 12 weeks of revolutionary music planned every Tuesday night until September 18th.

Don’t expect business as usual. After ten seasons at Space Ibiza featuring some of the most renowned DJs in the world, Carl is opening up the ranks to welcome a whole army of new talent. This year’s Revolution is going to be eclectic, loud, and unforgettable. And it’s all happening at Space Ibiza, which Carl has called "the Rolls Royce of clubs." The majority of clubbers obviously share Carl’s passion for Ibiza’s megaclub given that Space Ibiza was voted World’s Best Club two times in a row by DJ MAG (2011 & 2012). Space also just took home the Best Global Club award during the 27th Annual International Dance Awards at the 2012 WMC Winter Music Conference in Miami.

The global veteran of sound

Carl Cox has earned his stripes as the global veteran of sound with non-stop performances and a smile that lights up the dance floor. No matter where he is on the decks, you can tell he’s on a personal mission to help weary foot soldiers kick off their 9-to-5 shackles and get into the more serious business of having fun. This is a man with not so much as a single cynical or jaded bone in his body – and as he says: “We are the revolution and the revolution is love.” His devotion to creating great dance music has awarded him with an enormous and loyal following and he has recently been voted "Best International DJ" in Germany’s renowned Raveline Poll, as well as being named "Best Techno DJ" in the 2011 Ibiza DJ Awards. But don’t believe for a minute that Carl is going to lose his lets-get-everybody-in-the-house attitude or forget who his friends are. In fact, Revolution fans will be happy to hear that resident DJs Yousef, UMEK and Nic Fanciulli return to rally the troops again this summer. Ibiza clubbers can expect another blockbuster Revolution this year. Lynn Cosgrave, who heads Safehouse says: "We’re putting all our energy behind building this night to even new heights. There will be familiar faces but also incredible new talent and styles of music."

The Revolution Recruits broadens its reach with two competitions

Carl is looking to recruit four talented DJs to join him for a spotlight performance this season in Ibiza. Those who believe they have the mettle to brave the stage are invited to enter 'The Revolution Recruits DJ Contest' by sending in their best 30-minute DJ set via Mixcloud. A total of four winners will get the chance to perform live in Ibiza this summer. Safehouse Management will cover return flights and accommodation. All winners are also invited to attend a short course at the renowned SAE Institute to further develop their skills, as well as receiving premium memberships to SoundCloud and Headliner.fm. 

Carl has also announced that he is on a quest to establish an official theme track for his massively successful Tuesday night parties. 'The Revolution Recruits Theme Contest' is a unique competition concept that challenges ambitious music producers to transform samples submitted by several Intec Digital artists into a track they feel will best communicate the spirit of Carl’s Revolution. The winning theme will be used as part of The Revolution Recruits promo material and officially released after the 2012 season has ended. The winner will also get the chance to further develop his or her skills with one of the short courses offered by the SAE Institute. Premium memberships from SoundCloud and Headliner.fm are also in store for the winner.

Tickets for the Revolution Recruits at Space Ibiza from July 3rd to September 18th are already on sale via Ticketweb. Book early and ensure that you’re in the front lines of the party!
