Balearic Daze
I consider my roots in the Balearic culture of the 1990s and 2000s to be a great privilege and it is my calling to recreate and share some of the magic of this era. Balearic Daze represents some of the most significant artists on the Balearic scene. Heartfelt, passionate music, performed by the artists below:
Paco Fernandez
He arrived in Ibiza in the 1960s and revolutionised flamenco music. Often called the inventor of ‘Balearic flamenco’, Paco has mixed his Andalusian roots with various electronic styles. A true master of his craft, musical rebel and experienced live musician.

Benj Hanx
My tribute to the original Balearic sound that began to develop in the early 80s, when pioneering Ibiza DJs played an eclectic mix of musical styles such as Dub, Reggae, Folk, Funk, Soul, Rock, Disco and Pop, gradually introducing the first emerging House music records. My favourite sound for afternoon hours, beach parties and warm-up sessions to set the mood for the night.
Booking information: Benj Hanx can be hired as a DJ and for live performances alongside singers and live musicians. For more information: CONTACT
