THE FOURTH IBIZA INTERNATIONAL MUSIC SUMMIT PRESENTS:

DAVID LYNCH

KEYNOTE INTERVIEW LIVE FROM THE HOLLYWOOD HILLS IN LOS ANGELES TO IBIZA

THURSDAY 26th MAY – 8PM @ IBIZA GRAN HOTEL

THE legendary film director David Lynch will be beamed into the Gran Hotel at IMS via video Skype from his recording studio just off Mulholland Drive. The interview will take place at 8pm (local European time), which is 11am in Los Angeles and will focus on Lynch’s music production career which in 2011 has seen him release the amazing 'Good Day Today' / 'I Know' single - remixed by the cream of the electronic world including Underworld, Skream, Sasha. Boys Noize and Diskjokke.

The interview will be lead by the three people who played pivotal roles in introducing David Lynch to the Ibiza world: Jason Bentley, who first played Lynch’s new experimental music live on air on KCRW in America and tricked the world into thinking it was by Underworld, and who at last years IMS passed the music on to Ben Turner (IMS partner). Ben in turn played it to his Sunday Best Recordings partner and BBC Radio 1 DJ Rob da Bank, and the pair quickly signed the single and are now planning the release of his full-length album for the label later this year.

The interview will see Lynch and his engineer "Big" Dean Hurley interviewed from the studio as they show us how they made the music and how they turn it out in Lynch's studio.

David Lynch stated today: "I'm excited to talk to those attending the International Music Summit in Ibiza. 12 months ago Jason Bentley from KCRW gave a track I made with my engineer Big Dean Hurley to Ben Turner and Rob da Bank of Sunday Best Recordings, and we return this year to chat about the full-length album we have just completed. I look forward to chatting with them and everyone else in attendance on May 26th live from my own studio in Los Angeles. We'll talk about the music and how it came to be and exist. We had such a blast making it and I am honored to be a part of the International Music Summit."

This will be held exclusively live for IMS delegates

THE FOURTH IBIZA INTERNATIONAL MUSIC SUMMIT:

OFFICIAL EVENTS & PARTIES

24TH–29TH MAY 2011

The IMS returns to Ibiza for the fourth year in a row at the end of this month, bringing with it a whole host of industry leaders, record labels and guest speakers for what’s set to be the most exciting year yet for the world’s leading electronic music conference, set in the spiritual home of dance music.

But with so much attention on the daytime industry-focused schedule we now felt the time was right to showcase all the key events and amazing parties that will be taking place during the IMS week. More than ever before the IMS team have been peerlessly putting together a run of evening events to make sure the 2011 Ibiza summer season kicks off in style!

Anyone who’s experienced the previous IMS Grand Finale Festival’s at Dalt Vila will understand just how thrilling and unique this event is. Set in the heart of Ibiza’s Old Town and looking over the Balearic sea, this huge open-air evening festival will be made even bigger this year with the line-up including a headline set from the legendary 2manydjs, with further DJ sets from Dubfire, Pete Tong and Jason Bentley and live performances from Hercules & Love Affair and The Japanese Posters. It should be very special.

Also, for the first time ever the IMS will be hosting the Dalt Vila on the Thursday night as well, welcoming in arguably the biggest name in dance music today, the one and only David Guetta. The infamous French DJ will be joined by Nervo and friends to present an exclusive show for his many, many fans on the island. Their first party of the season will be held later the same evening at Pacha.

In fact Pacha will also play host to the official IMS Opening Party on the Wednesday night, as confirmed daytime guest speakers Damian Lazarus, Jamie Jones and Seth Troxler will all take to the decks to present their own mutant breed of modern house music that has caught the attention of so many people across the globe. In addition, Mark Jones (Wall Of Sound) will host his past:present:future concept Back To The Phuture in the side room with himself performing but also Mute Records boss Daniel Miller. Miller will play uncompromising electronic music using all manner of new futuristic technologies.

Other highlights include a series of events at Grial; including label showcases from Riva Starr’s ‘Snatch!’ label and the ever-present Ministry Of Sound with a set from Michael Woods and there will also be an Ibiza residents special (GUIRI) on the Tuesday night. There’s an unofficial all-day Cadenza beach party with Luciano and friends on the Saturday at Ushuaia and if you’re a registered IMS delegate, you will be able to get free entry to the All Gone Pete Tong (Fri) and Cadenza (Sun) opening parties as well as the legendary Space Fiesta (Sun) opening – a must do experience for all dance music fans!

IMS, still setting the agenda for the future of the industry, but now leading the way on the dancefloor as well.

PLEASE NOTE THAT REGISTERED IMS DELEGATES GET FREE ENTRY TO ALL OF THE EVENTS MENTIONED – AND TICKETS ARE AVAILABLE TO BUY FOR THE GENERAL PUBLIC

THE IMS GRAND FINALE FESTIVAL

27TH MAY 2011 @ DALT VILA (18:00-0:00)

Dalt Villa, Baluarte De Santa Lucia, Ibiza Old Town
A UNESCO world heritage site

LINE UP

DJS
2MANYDJS
DUBFIRE
PETE TONG
JASON BENTLEY

LIVE PERFORMANCES FROM
HERCULES & LOVE AFFAIR
THE JAPANESE POPSTARS

The IMS Grand Finale Festival returns to the iconic Dalt Vila for a third year as we look to host our biggest event yet. In the heart of Ibiza Town and looking over the Balearic sea, the very special UNESCO world heritage site in Dalt Vila is without doubt one of the finest open-air locations in the world – and this is the only contemporary music event they allow to take place each year.

Building on last year’s unforgettable show that featured performances from Buraka Som Sistema, Mark Ronson, Sasha, Skream, David E Sugar and IMS co-founder Pete Tong, the IMS team have now confirmed the lineup for 2011 and once again it’s tantalizing prospect.

In the year that Pete Tong celebrates 20 years on BBC Radio 1, the co-founder of IMS will once again be spearheading the IMS celebrations and joined by none more exciting than the mighty 2manydjs – still regarded by many as the greatest DJs on the planet. Having re-written the rulebook of DJ mixes, pioneered the art of the mash-up remix, and conquered the world as their 4-piece band Soulwax, there’s little the two Belgian brothers haven’t achieved. They will be the headline act this year and it promises to be one hell of a show!

Not stopping there we also have Ibizan favourite – and huge techno star in his own right – Dubfire, who will be making his IMS debut. A man who originally touched down on the island in the early 90’s as one half of the Grammy award winning duo Deep Dish, but in more recent years has developed a solo career that has taken him to even dizzier heights. Without doubt he will be a huge draw to any techno fans that are in Ibiza that week. Rounding off the line-up we have IMS favourite Jason Bentley, the host of America’s most influential radio show (Morning Becomes Eclectic on KCRW) and the winner of the first ever IMS Pioneer award. A key name in the U.S. dance scene for many years, he is also the man behind countless movie soundtracks, including all three Matrix films, and is credited for orchestrating the partnership between Daft Punk and the recent Tron movie – he’s also an amazing DJ!

The headline live act on the night will be New York’s finest, Hercules & Love Affair, who recently released their ‘Blue Songs’ album to the delight of both the media and their ever-growing fan base. Managing to channel the spirit (and sounds) of the famous Paradise Garage, they combine both classic NYC disco attitude with modern house and electronic pop at it’s very best. They will be joined on the bill by The Japanese Popstars, who will be performing their hybrid style of live electro to an Ibizan crowd that has already shown them a lot of love from their previous shows at Wonderland and Amnesia. Their Virgin Records album contains some incredible collaborations, expect special guests to be joining them on stage at IMS!

The event is free to attend for all delegates of the IMS, with some 2,000 tickets available to the public.
