Party: Sonido presents IBIZA CALLING with MIA LUCCI (GET PHYSICAL), SIMON CALDWELL, START:CUE, TOM HARWOOD and ANDY MYATT

Ibiza, what a place! If you have ever been fortunate enough to grace the white isle with your presence then you will know what an incredible, mental, over the top, amazing and beautiful island it is! Home to best clubs in that world where nothing is unusual and anything goes. The Ibiza clubs are about to open their doors for the first time in 2014 and to celebrate the new season we want to bring a slice of that experience and vibe to Sydney as we launch the Ibiza Calling series. Expect the unexpected.

Sonido returns once again to the Civic Underground on Friday 16th May launching the Ibiza Calling series part one with the gorgeous Berlin based deep and tech house dj Mia Lucci (Get Physical). She teases the heart and seduces the mind. And with an eclectic symphony of sounds, like every good artist, her palette is many hued. She paints together a mix of playful melodies, ambient supernovas and moody baselines on a canvas she describes as “contemplative strings of art”. Her sound, simple, yet elusive.

From a classical background, it wasn’t until a chance encounter that Mia fell in love with the altogether different pulsing electronic sounds of the dance scene. The underground tones of house eventually became her unrequited love, unmet in a hometown bereft of such depths.

Escaping the tyrannical establishment Mia flew to Ibiza and Berlin where her love affair with the underground continued to flourish.

Within her first year of living in Ibiza, Mia landed a residency on Salina’s beach. By her second year her residency crossed borders on Ibiza Global Radio where she was invited to host a weekly segment called “Signing In”. Now, in it’s 3rd year, Mia has taken this opportunity to help expose Australian talent across the globe by inviting local artists to perform guest mixes on her show.

When it comes to the studio, Mia plays with controllers and synths as if in the privacy of her own boudoir and this coquettish playfulness shows in her music. Pair this with a woman powerfully comfortable in her own skin, the result is electric, sophisticated, sexy and fun. Her first official release, on long-standing label, “Get Physical”. A collaboration with artist DJ T and vocalist Stee Downes.

Supporting Mia we have the one and only Simon Caldwell. This man needs no introduction. If you have not heard this mans name before then you have obviously been hiding in cave. Sydneysider Simon, the founder and resident DJ at Mad Racket, the legendary house and techno parties at Marrickville Bowls Club and radio DJ on FBI where he hosts his Sunset show every Monday. Simon has been on the scene for years, and continues to play at every big event in Sydney as well as travelling far and wide warming up for the greats and stealing the show in his headline performances. This is Simon’s third Sonido party so we are really pleased to get this man back behind the decks for more of his eclectic and varied house music style.

As always, support on the night will be from your Sonido residents Tom Harwood and Andy Myatt.

See you on the dancefloor!!
