Sum up this podcast in 10 words…

A part from my new one? Probably the new Crusy-Tony Romera-Loe Steppa track “Watch Out”

What’s the special ingredient in this mix?
I like to build my mixes the same way I do when I perform live—never sticking to the same part or BPM for too long

Tell us about your next EP? 
My next single will be on Danny Howard’s Nothing Else Matters label, but I also have a few remixes out—one on Patrick Topping’s Trick and one for Bakermat, both worth checking out!

This year, Amnesia is taking it to a whole new level. Ever seen another Ibiza club throw a festival for its closing? Or stretch it out over two days? Or pack in more than 30 artists with back-to-back exclusive sets?

The answer is no, but that’s changing this year on 11th and 12th October. Amnesia is about to make history again with the Amnesia Closing Festival, pushing the boundaries like never before. They’re adding an extra day for those who want to double the Amnesia energy.

On Friday, 11th October, the Main Room will feature Ben Hemsley, Hannah Laing, Les Schmitz, and Malugi, while the Terrace will host Claptone, Danny Howard, Sammy Virji, Sonny Fodera, and Jan.

The real test for party warriors is on Saturday, 12th October, with a groundbreaking B2B lineup on the Terrace. It’s all about unity and strength with sets from Adam Beyer B2B Marco Faraone, Cuartero B2B Manda Moor, East End Dubs B2B Mar-T, Londonground B2B Manu Desrets, Hot Since 82 B2B Rossi., Sidney Charles B2B Caal, and a repeat of the 2023 closing’s success with resident DJs Jamie Jones B2B Joseph Capriati, capping it off with a Sunrise Extended Back to Back Set.

In line with its new brand identity, Amnesia has gone dark on social media, embracing its name’s essence with a bold statement: “Memories are overrated. The Amnesia Ibiza Closing Festival is calling clubbers worldwide to let go and be truly free. These two days are all about living in the moment, dancing until the last drop of sweat hits the floor, and soaking up the unique magic of the white island.”

Now deeply entrenched in Ibiza’s lore, Café Mambo has become a revered destination for music aficionados worldwide.

Originating in 2016, Claptone took his unique ‘The Masquerade’ show to select cities and venues around the globe. ‘The Masquerade’ has quickly become a highlight on the Ibizan calendar. The party promises magic, mystery and intrigue, within a supercharged environment of wonder.

Claptone enthuses: “It’s crazy to think last summer was just the beginning, it already felt that perfect to me. To be honest, I can’t fully fathom that after that epic 2019 season, I’ll be back at Pacha for 2020, to present an even bigger, better and longer season of The Masquerade – on the weekend.

He adds: “There will be exciting guests, propulsive house music and all these great performers that your heart desires! in our sanctuary, each Saturday for 21 weeks. This is only the beginning.”

After the break-out success of his minimalist EP “Berlin” Ry notched up a string of sold-out shows across Europe, the US and Australia including both the Union Chapel and Shepherds Bush Empire in 2016 alone.

Claptone’s reworking shows off his well-renowned, almost mystical skills by reinterpreting ‘Body Sun’ as a future club classic while staying true to its origins.

Speaking about the remix, Claptone says: “It’s been a pleasure to work with Ry’s s voice, as it’s so mysterious and beautiful in a very unique way. But not only that. The chorus of ‘Body Sun’ just took me under its spell from when I first listened to it and I felt the urge to get this in shape for all the festivals and clubs in this world, to deliver the message so to speak. When the chorus kicks in, it’s goosebumps, sunrise, arms wide open, all at the same time.”
