After some years, they decided to up sticks from the UK and make their home on the White Isle. After working on different jobs on the island, he began djing under the monocle of Chapter, which led him to join forces with three other established DJ/Producers to form Melon Bomb, who have played across most of the clubs on the island.

Welcome to the first episode of our podcast Talking Loud Ibiza, presented by the DJ Awards. This week´s guest is the Founder of the DJ Awards which he created back in 1998 – Jose Pascual. Born in Barcelona, he has become a legendary figure noted for organising groundbreaking events. At 18 he went travelling in a car from Barcelona to Mumbai – more of which you´ll hear later. He settled in New York, where he opened an art gallery, buying and selling Latin American art. His awareness of electronic music came when he first saw a MOOG synthesizer, shown by some Colombian musicians called Elkin and Nelson. After settling down in Ibiza in the '70s, he saw first-hand how the DJ´s were evolving to a new electronic sound and launched the first edition of the DJ Awards. 23 years later, the event continues to grow, delighting millions of fans all over the world, whilst celebrating those who make up the electronic music scene.Presented by Jasmine Elias (DJ Awards Director), together with Ryan Be and guest presenter Julia Charlton.www.djawards.comThanks to our designer Nico Taglialavore for the podcast artwork https://www.behance.net/wdesign-argTheme Music - EDM Detection Mode by Kevin MacLeod https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/
