Carl Cox spinning during a live broadcast on Ibiza Sonica
For all of us who can’t spend a holiday on the magical mediterranean party island of Ibiza, we hope to at least be able to tune into radio stations that send us the vibes directly to our home speakers. When an internet radio station is entitled Ibiza Sonica, you might start to get your hopes up for a Ibiza experience from home.
Depending on the time of day you tune in, you might start thinking that this station is more ideal for the hospitality industry for their background lounge music or it could actually even be utilized as elevator music. The first time I tuned in, I was nothing short of disappointed in the non-Ibiza-ness of the station. I mean, the description reads “Streaming live from Ibiza, 24/7”. I was expecting some serious beats and only received soothing music that made me yearn for more caffeine.
However, I came back to the station later on, and it warmed up. Still not what you might expect, given the island’s hectic reputation, but more lively. So I went to their website to see if this trend would continue, and sure enough, they broadcast some of the big nights out in Ibiza as well, for example, the opening party and Amnesia (one of the most popular clubs in the world). They also cover live broadcasts of DJs as big as Carl Cox and Timo Maas. Check out their cool website: Ibiza Sonica.
With every song, it seems to get more and more energetic and more representative of Ibiza sounds. I will continue to check in on this station in hopes to catch some great live broadcasts this season!
