In Session Ibiza by Seb_h

Dear friends of the show,Whether you’ve been with me since the early days or just discovered the vibe, I’m glad you’re here. This show is built for those who carry a piece of Ibiza in their heart, no matter where they are. Welcome back to In Session Ibiza.Late summer on the island carries a different rhythm. The energy shifts inward, into the undercurrent. For this session, I dove deep. From haunting remixes to honest grooves straight from the floor.We open with the mystique of Angel Lee on HE.SHE.THEY., a label that has become synonymous with progressive, inclusive nights at Ibiza’s most forward-thinking venues. Moby follows, a name that resonates across generations of Balearic dance floors. Later in the set, another of his collaborations is reimagined by ESSEL, a rising force whose journey began on this very island, capturing its bold and emotive essence.The legendary Benjamin Zephaniah brings poetry into motion on always centered at night, while Roland Clark’s unmistakable voice grounds the session in club heritage, the kind etched into countless sunrise memories across Ibiza. Melanie Ribbe, deeply rooted in the island's scene, brings undeniable drive.We also dive into the sonic world of DJ Tennis, co-founder of Life and Death, known for his deeply crafted sets in Ibiza’s more alternative corners. Eliza Rose joins him, adding her soulful, unmistakable energy that has found its way into the hearts of island dancers.Even Sergio Mendes, reimagined with club finesse, reminds us how Ibiza continues to merge eras and sounds. I close with Freak Out, my own contribution. A track shaped by the spontaneity and surrender that the island always inspires.This is not a linear journey. It is a circle. Each track, a point on the map of a night that exists outside of time. Only in feeling.If this session moved you, subscribe, share it with someone who needs the vibe, and keep the spirit of the island alive.Sebastiaan Hooft

August on the island has a pulse of its own. This set was recorded in that space where the sun dips low and the air becomes electric, the sweet spot between introspection and ignition.The journey opens with a nod to San Francisco’s PillowTalk and the hypnotic energy of Barber’s remix. Raw, patient, and beautifully off-center. From there, we slip into deeper territory with emerging voices like Zamky and Bjoint, who bring a tight rhythmic finesse that sets the tone. There's a strong thread of European craftsmanship throughout, with standout cuts from Spain’s Mauro Vetter and THEIA, and the refined edge of Italy’s Mirco Costa and Etwas.Later, the mood darkens. Cristian Merino and Fer BR remind us why groove never goes out of style, and legends like Iglesias and Paco Osuna come in heavy with their unmistakable stamp on the modern underground. By the time Michael Bibi closes the session, we’re deep in that hypnotic zone where time loses meaning.Seb_h, my Ibiza alias, is a name rooted in deep tech with an apparent reverence for the island’s pulse. This set isn’t just a reflection of what’s playing. It’s a reflection of who is shaping the scene right now. Respect to the artists who bring their own fingerprint to the dancefloor.For those listening under the stars, in motion, or memory, this one’s yours.Sebastiaan Hooft

Hola!The sun dips below the horizon, painting the sky in deep orange and soft pink as the first beats of the night begin to echo across Ibiza. March is a special time on the island. The streets are still quiet, the beaches are mostly untouched, but the air is charged with the promise of summer. The energy is shifting, the first arrivals are here, and the music never stops—it simply transforms. In Session Ibiza – March 2025 captures the transition from winter's calm into the vibrant pulse of the season ahead.This five-hour journey is born from the island itself. It's more than a mix—it reflects Ibiza's evolving rhythm. As the show unfolds, it mirrors the island's flow, from deep, hypnotic beats that echo through the quiet streets of the Old Town to uplifting energy that builds on the terraces of beach clubs preparing to open their doors. The journey begins with the deep, melodic sounds of Andre Rizo, Noir, and S. Salter, setting the foundation like the first warm breezes of spring. Their tracks drift over the landscape, creating an atmosphere of effortless groove, the kind you hear in the background of a quiet drink at a hidden bar, where conversations are filled with plans for the season ahead. As the night deepens, the show moves into the island's heartbeat. Kelis, Return To Saturn, and Tamir Regev introduce a more vibrant energy, their sounds pulsing like the anticipation in the air as Ibiza's legendary venues start testing their sound systems again. Cedric Salander and Ariel R bring in hypnotic rhythms, transporting you to the beach clubs where the first sunset gatherings of the year take place, a mix of locals and early travelers swaying to the music, knowing they are witnessing the beginning of something special. The journey intensifies with Momo Khani, Cafe De Anatolia, and Arco, blending organic and electronic textures—music that feels at home in a laid-back daytime set and in the late-night hours when the stars seem closer than ever. This is the sound of Ibiza preparing itself, excitement bubbling beneath the surface. As the set progresses, the energy builds, moving through the hypnotic beats of Ron Carroll, Yves Murasca, and Darin Epsilon, blending house, deep grooves, and progressive touches. By now, the island is alive—the energy is unmistakable. The legendary artists return, their music rippling through the air like waves on a moonlit sea. Sebastien Leger, Green George, Andhim, and Eelke Kleijn take the soundscape into deeper, more driving territory, the kind of music that fuels late-night sessions in intimate clubs, where the real magic of Ibiza happens. The tempo shifts again as the final hour approaches, climbing towards the night's peak. Robyn Balliet, Archie B, and Karretero bring in sounds that would be at home in the peak moments of a sunrise set, when the dancefloors of the island are at their purest—where people lose themselves in the music, where time stands still, where nothing else exists except the beat and the moment. This is Ibiza in March—a season on the edge of change, a place where music is not just played but felt. Session Ibiza—March 2025 is a journey through this energy, a five-hour story of rhythm, anticipation, and the endless pulse of the island. Sebastiaan

Elena stepped off the plane at Ibiza Airport, the warm Mediterranean breeze instantly caressing her face. The island had always been a distant dream; now, it was a tangible reality. With her suitcase in hand and excitement bubbling, she made her way through the bustling terminal, eager to immerse herself in the legendary Ibiza experience.After checking into her boutique hotel, she explored Dalt Vila, the ancient walled city of Ibiza Town. The sun began to set, casting a golden glow over the cobblestone streets and whitewashed buildings adorned with vibrant bougainvillea. Elena wandered through the maze of narrow alleyways, feeling the island’s history and charm envelop her.She admired a stunning harbor view and noticed a man sketching the scene. He had tousled dark hair and an easy smile that caught her attention. "Beautiful, isn't it?" he said, looking up from his sketchbook."It is," Elena replied, smiling back. "I'm Elena, by the way. Just arrived today.""Nice to meet you, Elena. I'm Marco," he said, extending a hand. They chatted effortlessly, their conversation flowing as naturally as the gentle sea breeze. Marco shared stories about his life on the island, his passion for art, and the magic that made Ibiza special.Marco's phone buzzed with a message as the sky turned from gold to deep purple. He glanced at it and then looked at Elena with a grin. "How would you like to experience a villa party tonight? It's at my friend’s place, and I think you’ll love it. Sebastiaan Hooft will be DJing."Elena's heart skipped a beat. "I'd love to," she replied, her excitement palpable.They walked together through the twilight, the streets gradually giving way to the serene countryside. Marco led her to a stunning villa perched high above the sea, its terraces offering panoramic views of the coastline. The villa was a masterpiece of architecture, blending modern luxury with traditional Ibiza charm.As they entered, mellow beats greeted them, mingling with the laughter of guests enjoying the evening. Marco introduced Elena to a few friends, and she instantly felt welcomed into this vibrant circle. The atmosphere was intoxicating, a perfect blend of sophistication and laid-back island vibes.On the terrace, the music was smooth and melodic, mirroring the beauty of the sunset. Elena was swaying to the rhythm, a cocktail in hand, the stress of everyday life melting away. She and Marco danced together, their connection growing with each beat. The sky transitioned from twilight to starry night, the air warm and fragrant with jasmine and sea salt.As the night progressed, the energy ramped up. The DJ seamlessly blended tracks that had everyone on their feet, the beats pulsating through the crowd. Elena danced with Marco, their movements synchronizing effortlessly. She felt a profound sense of freedom, her spirit soaring.As the party began to wind down, the atmosphere remained electric, yet there was a sweet sense of the evening coming to a close. The DJ played a final track that matched the serenity of the night. Elena stood at the edge of the terrace with Marco, watching the last of the sun's glow fade over the shimmering sea.With a heart full of gratitude and a newfound connection with Marco, Elena knew this was just the beginning. The island had captured her heart, and she felt a deep sense of belonging. As the music faded and guests began to leave, Marco and Elena lingered a bit longer, savoring the moment's magic.Walking back through the now-quiet villa grounds, hand in hand, they talked about their plans for the next day. Elena smiled, knowing she would return to Ibiza, drawn back by its magic, music, and the promise of more unforgettable nights. The first stars appeared as they reached the gates, symbolizing all the adventures yet to come.
