Balearic

We designed the full experience for a book launch: 12 hours of music, cocktails, and a live debate with the protagonists of a book that tells the story of a place and a genre — at Pikes Hotel, the temple of the Balearic spirit.

Who called?

Luis Costa and Christian Len, authors of Balearic: An Oral History of Club Culture in Ibiza (Contra, 2020), named Best National Music Book of 2020 by Mondo Sonoro.

What did they want?

To organize a book launch in Ibiza, inviting its key protagonists and influential figures from the island, along with a press call.

What did we think?

Since the book is a collective story, what better way to present it than with a live debate featuring some of its main voices — and invite DJ protagonists to soundtrack the day, all happening in real time.

What did we do?

We partnered with the legendary Pikes Hotel and curated 12 hours of music across the pool and terrace, with live broadcasts on Ibiza’s leading stations (Ibiza Sonica and Pure Ibiza). We hosted a debate with 12 key figures from the island and opened the celebration with a cocktail reception courtesy of Goldtooth.
