Ibiza?s Best Electro DJ (M8 Awards) and DC10 resident Jo Mills talks about the island's magic, the closing of another top London nightclub and her debut appearance at Ibiza Underground's 1st birthday this Saturday 18th October!
Hello Jo! Thanks for taking time to chat to us. Where in the world are you right now?
Hi! No problem, I?m at home in Ibiza.
How has Ibiza been for you this year? Where?ve you been playing?
Ibiza has been fantastic; I've had the pleasure of being involved with Pete Tong?s Wonderland at Eden this year where I hosted the white room under my own name of "The Looking Glass" along with Ibiza resident Tomas Hedberg and guests.
The whole night was a major success and the most talked about night of the summer.
What do you say to the rumours that ?Ibiza has lost its magic? since the new laws came into place?
Yeah, yeah whatever!! Haha no, seriously the island is more magical than ever, no laws can take the spirit of Ibiza away.
On the subject of Ibiza, you?re making your debut appearance at Ibiza Underground?s 1st Birthday at Mass in Brixton on 18th October. What are you expecting from the night?
Well I'm really looking forward to it I have heard good things about Ibiza Underground and I always enjoy a london crowd.
The crowd here know how to party, hard. What sort of tuneage will you be dishing out for them?
Lots of groovy, techy house, really good, quality stomping house music.
Have you heard it?s free drink all night!? What?s your tipple?
Really? Wow, that should be fun. Vodka and tonic probably - doubles as I am used to free pour Ibiza measures!
It?s one of South-London?s best kept secrets. What do you think is the key to a successful and long running party?
Consistency with the music, clued up promoters, strong residents, looking after your fan base and a fuck-off sound system!
What?s your view on yet another club (The End) closing in capital?
Oh no! I did not know that - Mr C is a good friend of mine. What a shame as that's a top venue - I had no idea.
Where?s your favourite place to play in London?
Not sure yet, I?ll let you know after Mass! I do enjoy Ministry of Sound.
How about in Ibiza?
DC10 was fantastic to play back in the day - "The Looking Glass" of course.
Ibiza Underground has a room full of future Ibiza star DJs at the birthday bash. What upcoming DJs/producers have you been watching this year?
My resident Tomas Hedberg. He is an amazing DJ and an accomplished producer. His new track "The Looking Glass" has been played seven weeks in a row on Pete Tong?s Essential Selection and he has many more to come. Pete described him as the "Swedish Nic Fanciulli".
What?s the strangest/weirdest/most shocking thing you?ve witnessed in a club?
Well, I have had off-their-face people many times put their drink on my spinning record thinking it?s the bar - back in my vinyl days!
More recently, some guy decided to have a lay down in the middle of the dance floor in The Looking Glass - he wasn't there long before the bouncers reminded him of where he was!
What can you never leave the house without?
My blackberry, well and truly addicted to it.
Who?s the most famous person in your mobile phone?
Boy George
What scares you?
Snakeman who parades round Ibiza! I run a mile when he comes near me -he's got an albino snake - yuck!!
Are you afraid of Ibiza Underground??
Yes, I'm quaking in my boots now I know its free drink and the first birthday! Haha
Thanks Jo! We look forward to seeing you on 18th October for Ibiza Underground?s 1st Birthday Special @ Mass Brixton.
