Tunes Section | DJ Interviews

Welcome to our music section where we introduce you to some of the top DJs, and some of the best tunes around in Magaluf.

Some people say Magaluf hasn't got it anymore, but Magaluf with all its bars and clubs is still up there with all the other summer holiday resorts like Greece and Turkey.

The top clubs of course use some big-name DJs to entertain you, but don't under-estimate some of the smaller bars and clubs, most of them have some great DJs to make sure you will have a wicked night out. Here at shagalluf.com we introduce you to some of those DJs.

In the bars and clubs in Magalluf, there play house music, party tunes, old skool, Chill out, even Indie. RnB is still popular among the many Magalluf party people and you will find a few places that will play these tunes all night long.

You will find a lot of top DJs in Magaluf, such as Des Mitchell (welcome to the dance), Judge Jules (BBC1), DJ Sammy (Spain/Ibiza), Dave Pierce and Tim Westwood (Radio 1) and Ian Redman (Clubland UK) just to name a few in the bigger clubs. They are most likely to rotate in the summer, so check closer to the date to see who is playing where.

All throughout the summer we will keep you updated with the top 5 of Funky House, RnB and Dance put together by the DJs of Magaluf.

Exclusive Interview with Des Mitchell (Welcome to the dance)

6th April 2006

Held at Bora Bora, Magaluf

1. When and where did you actually start your career?
I started my career in Birmingham in a Club called Pandora.

2. Which moment was your breakthrough into the so called top?
My entry into the top was probably when I started playing in BCM.

3. Tell us one of your funniest or embarrassing moments during your career.
It happened not so long ago, I was in the Dj cabin of the Ministry of Sound Club in Singapore when my laptop just slid onto the floor and broke! Lucky me I got it fixed the next day and managed to carry on. It was just one of those moments.

4. What was your longest "shift"? And where was this gig?
A 7 hour gig in King Mu, Japan

5. Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
I see myself being a songwriter, I fancy doing that full time.

6. Would you like to share a usable tip for the up and coming DJ?
If you wanna be a Dj, then do it for the love of Music. The rest will come naturally.

7. CD or Vinyl what's your choice?
Vinyl of course!

8. Your favourite place? Chill out bar or Nightclub?
I just love to relax in a Chill out bar, even better when they have a Terrace.

9. What would have been one of your highlights in your career?
Best moment would have been when Toni Humphreys gave me a compliment when I mixed on three decks the song Show me Love from Robin S. This was in BCM back in '91.

10. Who is your team to win the world cup 2006 in Germany?
Oh that's hard.... let me think....England they are the ones.
