The night will be filled with lots of free goodies so be sure you attend this Gibraltar Music Week event and ensure get there early.
Phoebe has been an official resident DJ for global clubbing brand Ministry Of Sound. She has hosted their weekly radio show as well as compiled two of Hed Kandi's best-selling albums, ’Twisted House' and 'Ibiza’. Phoebe currently holds a residency at the world's most famous sunset bar: Cafe Mambo in Ibiza. She also supports Martin Solveig at his 'My House at Pacha' each Wednesday throughout the season.
Supporting Phoebe on the night will be three local DJs: Ben Lynch, Lazy Daiz and A Guy Called Wayne, each of whom have, without question, left their mark in the Gibraltar electronic music scene.
LAZY DAIZ
Carl Villarubia, aka Lazy Daiz, was eager to learn about digital music but had no interest in instruments as he always enjoyed using gadgets and electronics since he was fifteen. With his first ever pay cheque, he went and spent it all on a DJ mixer and set himself the challenge to teach himself and become a professional DJ.
Opportunities arose unexpectedly and after a year he found himself playing regularly around Casemates, the prime spot back in the early 2000s. It was only then when he truly learnt the art of DJ’ing and it was clear to him that it was not just playing music for a crowd but so much more to master. He played around Gibraltar for a good few years almost every weekend and had been made resident DJ to most of the clubs and bars.
Then in 2009 he was made resident DJ at Moorea in Sotogrande and held residency there for a full year before returning to Gibraltar to take on residency at the well-missed Savannah in Ocean Village. Four years there gave him opportunities to collaborate with many great live acts, DJs and entertainers. At present Lazy Daiz is the resident DJ at Dusk in Ocean Village.
A GUY CALLED WAYNE
DJ and Producer, A Guy Called Wayne, has always studied music in depth and kept up to date with the music industry. At the tender age of sixteen he was made resident DJ at 'The Factory of Sound' back in the late 90's. During his four-year tenure at Gibraltar's then hottest nightclub, he was given the platform to experiment with many styles and genres, allowing him to work his craft. Keeping his sets one style wasn't his thing.
Since then, A Guy Called Wayne has supported artists such as Rennie Pilgrem, Kultur, Mastiksoul, Nick and Danny Chatelain, Felipe Volumen, Mark Xtc, Anuschka, Aurelio Vargas, Kuka Morales, Kuo Climax & most recently, Jimmy Switch.
BEN LYNCH
Ben has been broadcasting since 2004 and, in that time, has worked all over the world. From hanging out with penguins in the Falklands to sand-bathing in Iraq. Ben came back home to work at Radio Gibraltar in June 2009. Since then he’s founded the Breakfast Club and recruited thousands of members to help him take on the early mornings. “The main aims of the movement are to wake you up with a big smile and eradicate use of the snooze button,” says Ben. He is also the host of ‘Sessions’ on GBC TV - A program which allows local musicians to perform as well as get interviewed in the process.
