// International Music Summit 2011 - Ibiza //
The IMS returns to dance musics spiritual home Ibiza for the fourth year in a row at the end of this month. Bringing with it a whole host of industry leaders, record labels and guest speakers for what’s set to be the most exciting year yet for the world’s leading electronic music conference. If you are about to head off for your yearly dose of Ibiza then we would strongly recommend you choose to stay either in Playa De'en Bossa or Ibiza's Old town, Eivissa (unless your renting your own pad somewhere in the hills!) and swerve the Brit-trap San Antonio. Playa D'en Bossa and Eivissa offer the culture & clientèle that you deserve. Locals & voyagers from the likes of Scandinavia, Eastern & Southern Europe all collide to create a eclectic and friendly vibe that thrives in a carnival atmosphere. Having stayed within the walls of Eivissa's landmark Fortress that overlooks the Old town & Balearic sea we can personally say that Dalt Vila is stunning and is one of the best places to watch the sun go down with a nice chilled light refreshment.
The IMS team have been peerlessly putting together a run of evening events to make sure the 2011 Ibiza summer season kicks off in style. The huge open-air evening festival includes set's from 2manydjs, Pete Tong, Jason Bentley and live performances from Hercules & Love Affair. If you purchase a IMS Delagate badge from www.internationalmusicsummit.com you will be able to gain entry to a host of evening events and daytime industry shows. SoundCanvas Music's picks would be Pacha playing host to the official IMS Opening Party on the Wednesday night, confirmed daytime guest speakers Damian Lazarus, Jamie Jones and Seth Troxler will all take to the decks to present their own mutant breed of modern house music that has caught the attention of so many people across the globe Then over the weekend to the all-day Cadenza beach party with Luciano and friends on the Saturday at Ushuaia. On Friday, It's All Gone Pete Tong & Sundays Cadenza opening parties. Not forgetting the legendary Space Fiesta (Sun) opening – a must do Ibiza experience!
