“During our five year existence, we’ve made some great friends, some excellent contacts and have some unforgettable memories. Sadly the passion and free time that we once held as a team has disappeared and running the site as a hobby is no longer feasible. I’m truly gutted” -Vini

For its 15th year in Ibiza, some of Radio 1′s biggest stars, including Pete Tong, Annie Mac, Trevor Nelson and Judge Jules, will be broadcasting their radio shows live from the dazzling home of dance music on Friday 6 and Saturday 7 August.

Starting the weekend in spectacular style, Radio 1 hosts a party at Ibiza Rocks on Friday 6 August with a four-hour live broadcast, where Annie Mac and Pete Tong will be joined by a scorching line-up of special guests.

On Saturday 7 August, Radio 1 is set to take Cream at Privilege by storm with a superb line-up headlined by Underworld. They’ll be joined by Above & Beyond, The Japanese Popstars, Gareth Wyn, Jaguar Skills and the Radio 1 all-star fraternity of Zane Lowe, Annie Mac, Pete Tong, Judge Jules, Kissy Sell Out, Kutski, Alex Metric and Jaymo & Andy George.

This year, Radio 1 is covering more events than ever before on the White Isle. On Thursday 5 August, Radio 1 will be rocking up at Come Together at Space – one of the freshest nights on the island – recording blistering sets from Grandmaster Flash, Mark Ronson and Zane Lowe.

As the sun goes down, Cocoon gets up and Radio 1 will be there on Monday 2 August to record simmering sets from Sven Vath and friends. Pre-recorded music from both of those nights will be broadcast over Friday 6 and Saturday 7 August.

Pete Tong says: “Radio 1′s Weekend in Ibiza is the biggest of the summer. We’ll be back with a phenomenal start to the weekend at the Ibiza Rocks Hotel on the Friday and Underworld live from Privilege on Saturday will be a real balearic moment!”

Jason Carter, Editor, BBC Radio 1, Live Events, adds: “This summer, Radio 1′s committal to bringing the very best in live music to our audience is even bigger. As the key destination for dance music fans, Ibiza is a really important part of our programme of events and lots of our listeners go there every year.

“We’ve pulled together a strong line-up of programming from the best and most important nights across the island, featuring a cross section of big hitters, clasic acts and we’ll also be showcasing and supporting new talent.”

More details and the broadcast schedule will be announced shortly.

The 18 months since then have turned out to be almost as intense. They’ve ripped their sound apart, rebuilt it, then taken it to bits a few more times before emerging with an album that both agree is their best work yet.

At iBeats we take pride in what we do. As such we only give away quality music. Given that None But The Brave is touted as Trafik’s best work to date, it would be rude of us to shelf this cracking album. Therefore we’re offering up a handful of copies to lucky readers!

As with our other competitions, we make it easy for you to enter! All you have to do is live in the UK and complete the form below (and answer the simple question!)…

The love and support that T Bar has received over the years from some of the most high caliber DJs, fans and music lovers has meant it has become firmly established as one of East London’s most admired institutions for quality dance music. Initially starting out in the Tea Building on Shoreditch High Street, during its reign it hosted some of the most talked about parties in London and beyond such as Wrong Meeting, Stink, Dig Your Own Rave and Kubicle and welcomed the likes of Michael Mayer, Jamie Jones and Andrew Weatherall. For six years T Bar strived to showcase a unique and vast army of talent and all without charging for admission.

T BAR’s move last year to Houndsditch enabled new opportunities to broaden their musical spectrum, introduce new nights and residencies and secure rare performances from more high profile acts such as Groove Armada, Riva Starr, DJ Pierre and Marshall Jefferson. This partnered with a change in London’s climate led to a change in pricing policy earlier this year.

Sadly London’s recovery was not as speedy as all had hoped and T BAR’s goodbye comes amidst the sad demise of other well respected venues around London, which makes it all the more hard to swallow. We would like to take this opportunity to thank all of you who spent time to make T Bar what it was and cementing it firmly in the hearts and minds of so many people across the globe.

The Evil Nine studio’s been knocking out a huge amount of music recently; we’re incredibly excited about it and thought it was about time we manned-up, took matters into our own hands and started our own label to release it. ‘Ultimo’ and ‘Real Love’ are a tiny glimpse of the music we hold close to our hearts and now we have our own label we intend to show you the rest. We don’t have a vision for the label like most people would but what we do know is it’s gonna release music that girls like, that’s fun to write and fun to dance to in nightclubs, fields and horrible little grimey after-parties with your dirty little friends.

Both ‘Ultimo’ and ‘Real Love’ are full of ’90s house, Detroit techno, Italo, UK garage, Disco and Chicago house cliches but they’re good fun (Big Fun in fact) and that’s what going out is supposed to be about right? The release also includes a remix of ‘Ultimo’ by Dem Slackers, there’s only one of him and he’s very young, noisy and good.

Lots of love, Pat & Tom.”

Footnote, I can’t argue with the last paragraph, the sounds they describe are obvious; like the Evils say, “they’re good fun”! The Dem Slackers remix of Ultimo is dirty too!
