Martin Makepeace is our latest inductee into the Ibiza Hall Of Fame and he joined Alan and Clara back in April to reflect on more than 35 years on the island, from arriving in 1991 for what was meant to be a six-month stay to building a life and business in Ibiza.

After starting out in London’s finance sector, Martin moved into the travel industry, developing a successful business before expanding into property. Today, he remains a property expert and president of the British Association of San Antonio, representing the interests of the British community on the island.

Martin discusses how Ibiza has changed over the decades, the impact of Brexit on young British people wanting to work here, and the growing challenges around housing, staff accommodation and the cost of living. He also shares his thoughts on tourism, explaining why residents and visitors both matter to the island’s future.

A lifelong observer of Ibiza’s evolution, Martin remembers the clubs and music that defined his early years here, including Pacha in the 1990s. He reflects on the island’s unique energy, why its music scene is so important, and how Ibiza continues to reinvent itself.

Martin also talks about his podcasts, Talking Balearics and his series featuring people who have made a difference to the island. He is currently writing a book, Ibiza Beneath the Brand, exploring the reality behind the island’s image and challenging some of the myths surrounding life in Ibiza.

We’re delighted to welcome Martin Makepeace into the Ibiza Hall Of Fame, as we continue to recognise the people working behind the scenes who help make the island what it is.

Roger Sanchez joined Alan and Clara in Ibiza to reflect on an extraordinary career that began in Queens, New York, taking him from breakdancing and underground house parties to becoming one of the world’s most respected DJs and producers.

Roger recalls discovering music through breakdancing, before moving into DJing and becoming immersed in funk, disco, hip hop and New York house culture. He talks about making and selling mixtapes and his early productions that first got him noticed including 'Luv Dancing' on Strictly Rhythm. He tells the story of creating Another Chance, sampling Toto for what was intended to be an underground album track - only for it to become Defected's first UK No. 1.

His connection with Ibiza began in 1995, and he explains why the island immediately felt like a second home. Roger looks back at some of his most memorable Ibiza moments, his relationship with Pacha and Flower Power, and the importance of understanding and preserving the culture behind the island’s clubs.

Roger discusses the DJs who have influenced him, from Larry Levan, Tony Humphries and Timmy Regisford to Carl Cox, Jeff Mills, Frankie Knuckles, David Morales and Danny Tenaglia. For Roger, technical ability is important, but the real skill is understanding the crowd. His latest album Spectrum, created over several years and featuring collaborations including Mel C, reflects his belief that sound can be viewed like colour with each track occupying a different part of an emotional spectrum.

Now celebrating the 25th anniversary of ‘Another Chance’, with more new music and Flower Power plans ahead, Roger shows no signs of slowing down and we’re delighted to induct him as the first American DJ and producer into the Ibiza Hall Of Fame.

Judge Jules joins the Ibiza Hall Of Fame to look back on a remarkable career spanning more than three decades - from his early days as a young DJ and law student to becoming one of the UK’s biggest DJs, a legendary BBC Radio 1 broadcaster, producer and music lawyer.

He recalls his first trip to Ibiza in 1988, when he played his first gig at Pacha, and how the island quickly became an important part of his career. He shares memories of the early Ibiza scene, the clubs, promoters and characters that shaped the island, and the very different experience of visiting Ibiza in the late 1980s and 1990s.

A major part of the conversation focuses on Judgement Sundays, which launched in 2000 at the venue that became Eden in San Antonio. Jules recalls the decision to create his own branded Ibiza night, the huge queue on the opening night and how the night developed into one of the island’s defining weekly events. He also talks about booking DJs such as Tiësto, Armin van Buuren, Eric Prydz and Ferry Corsten early in their careers and building diverse line-ups around emerging talent.

He also reflects on the evolution of Ibiza, the rising cost of visiting the island and the growth of daytime events aimed at an older generation of clubbers.

Now balancing an international DJ career with specialist music law, Jules reflects on how the industry and Ibiza has changed - and not always to the benefit of the younger clubbers.
