Stunning New Film ‘This is Ibiza’ Takes You Deep Into the Dance Music Capital of the World

This is Ibiza is a brand new and behind the scenes look at Ibiza, out to rent or buy June 5th on Amazon Prime. The sun soaked Balearic Island is the dance music capital of the world, where hedonism and world class clubbing experiences collide in a place of stunning natural beauty. Three years in the making by Directors Jody Hall and Mindaugas Volkis and hosted by Jermaine Whitehead-Bailey, you can watch a trailer for the movie here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dN–xj_ii9k&feature=youtu.be

This is Ibiza is a unique window into a fantasy-like paradise that really conveys the magic of the island, how it became what it is and what it is like to be there. This immersive and authentic new film will take you on a special tour to one of the most famous (and infamous) islands in the entire world, where an extraordinary mix of night-life hedonism and spiritual evolution create a unique culture of dance, music and love.

With its mega clubs, breathtaking villas, once in a lifetime nights out, white sand beaches, world famous sunset parties and woodland hideaways, Ibiza has got a lot of negative press and media exposure, good and bad, over the years. This new film has a firm focus on the ever present spirit of freedom, love and music that made the electronic music explosion possible here, and then around the world. The White Isle is where it all started and is one of the few places on the planet where diversity does not bring conflict. All people are in harmony and truly coexist in true harmony. 

This fascinating new film consists of insightful interviews with the owners of the biggest brands and venues here as well as the new businesses. The likes of Elrow, Defected, Pacha, O Beach Ibiza, Chuckie, The Zoo Project, Sam Divine, Marco V, Darius Syrossian, Nick Warren, Lovely Laura, Eden Ibiza, Ibiza Club News, Café del Mar Ibiza, ANANESWORLD, DJ Sneak, Judge Jules, Pikes Ibiza and many more all feature. 

There are also voices such as the locals, upcoming DJs, music loving clubbers and the VIP clientele who have all been involved in Ibiza’s evolution and rich story over the years. Interviews are illustrated with the activities inside the clubs, retreats, nature, boat trips and plenty more to give a real sense of history past and present. The whole film has a majestic melodic house vibe and the majority of the documentary soundtrack comes from talented Scottish producer and Ibiza resident James iD.

This is Ibiza is out to rent or buy June 5th on Amazon Prime with a launch party on June 5th at Sunset Ibiza in San Antonio.

FAZEmag turns 100

#fazemag100

One hundred, we did it. This June, we are celebrating the 100th issue of our monthly published FAZEmag – even if we had wished for better circumstances for our anniversary issue. The last few months have not been easy for any of us in any way. The corona crisis has hit us with gusto and is leaving its marks. With the cancellation of all club events and festivals, we have not only lost important subjects, but also many advertising clients.

All the more reason for us to be pleased with finalizing our 100th edition, including many interesting topics as well as a wide range of content around our anniversary.

– Alan Walker & Hans Zimmer
– Arte Concert & United We Stream
. DJ mix by Carl Cox
– JANEIN
– Björn Torwellen
– The new Pioneer DJ DJM-V10 in test
– Inhalt der Nacht
– 15 years of Blufin Records
– FAZE history: Top 100 Tracks
– Congratulations from numerous DJs and friends

FAZEmag 100 will be published digitally on the 1st of June with the print version following on the 7th of June.

The story of FAZEmag began in late December of 2011. The first issue was published in March 2012, with Ricardo Villalobos on the cover and an included DJ mix by DJ Hell. In addition to the print magazine, we also established a website

named www.fazemag.de which is providing daily news, interviews, event tips, charts and columns about electronic music.
While the main office is based in Wuppertal, we are also operating a second office located in Cologne.

Special radio broadcast for the 100th edition

On Friday, 6 June, there will be a three-hour special broadcast on sunshine live between 7 and 10 pm about the 100th edition of FAZEmag.

FAZE TV

We are delightfully announcing that our TV format, FAZE TV, will return after an intermission of more than three years. The contents of our weekly shows will be disclosed soon. Stay tuned!
