Uplifting grooves, energetic beats, dreamy tunes and captivating rhythms, Ahmed Spins is a sonic storyteller who is starting to get noticed on a global level. That also includes right here on Ibiza, where he has started to pick up bookings at the island’s biggest parties.
After growing up in Morocco, he went to university in Boston to study finance. Between studying and work, he began producing music. As well as DJing, the multi-disciplined artist can play the piano, guitar and drums.
Already this summer, he has helped open [UNVRS], playing alongside Carl Cox, Jamie Jones, Michael Bibi, Joseph Capriati and The Martinez Brothers.
Aside from that, he also graced Las Dalias for Nido and has more dates coming up, including Pacha, DC10 and a return to [UNVRS] in August and October.
Seeing as he is spending more and more time here, we thought it would great to get the inside scope on where he likes to hang out.
Best place to stay
“Since it’s located next to the port and easy to walk into the Old Town, my favorite hotel to stay at would be The Standard Hotel in Ibiza Town. There’s so much to enjoy around there and the staff at this hotel is always amazing.”
Favourite beach
“My favorite beach is also home to my favorite restaurant on the island, Cala Gracioneta near San Antonio. If you love a good steak, the Solomillo de Black Angus de Uruguay is a must-have!”
Getting active on the island
“My favorite island activity is to go foil surfing! Surfing is one of my favorite hobbies, so on my days off you can always catch me in the water.”
Sunset dinner
“The best place for a sunset dinner is Casa Maca. They have a beautiful view overlooking the island, live music, delicious drinks and incredible food.”
Keep your eye-out for a forthcoming restaurant review of our recent visit to Casa Maca – coming soon.
Party recovery
“Passion would have to be the best place for morning coffee and lunch. It has a big selection to choose from including smoothies, coffees as well as sweet and savory meals.”
Ahmed Spin’s new single, Mood, with Ankhoï, Caroline Byrne and Neyl is out now and is available to stream and download on all reputable online platforms.
Speaking of the track, Ahmed said, “This track has been our go-to anthem within Deep House Bible – something to get us in the mood before our shows. We wanted it to feel as sunny and full of energy as the good vibes we share during our events.“
“It ended up becoming a dancefloor weapon, and we’re thrilled to share it with you! We hope you love it as much as we do.”
