Kelis at Defected In The House at Pacha Ibiza eight days ago. Mrs Nasir Jones was at Ibiza Rocks on the Monday, and unexpectedly turned up Defected at Pacha on the Tuesday, and promptly performed Milk Shake and Trick Me.
Pacha seems to be the Ibiza venue of choice for A-list US urban stars... P Diddy did the same at Pacha a few years ago, before his ill-feted (but actually quite good) dance LP. Why Pacha? Probably coz it's the most blinging club in the world, or at least has a reputation as such.
In other urban Ibiza news, Twice As Nice has competition, with LoveDough, the Newcastle night and label that is now hosting blockbusting line ups right across the road from Twice As Nice.
Galaxy's Steve Sutherland rocks Pacha's Global Room every Monday with anything from UKG to jungle via hip hop, R&B and ragga bangers. It gets steamy in there. And Trevor Nelson does every Wednesday at Pacha, Ibiza too.
But from what I keep hearing from various peeps is that Aya Napa is kicking, with half of Rinse FM out there and Boy Better Know with a weekly residency. After interviewing Geeneus from Rinse yesterday it seems UKG is bubbling up again, with a different name, that hasn't yet been discovered. Think of Fish Go Deep's The Cure & The Cause, and it's on that tip. bassy, winding with icey cool vocals.
Many thanks to the nutter like Tambo, who is going to swim to Bestival on the Isle of Wight for charity, for the Kelis info.
