In Session Ibiza September 2025

Dear friends of the show,

Whether you’ve been with me since the early days or just discovered the vibe, I’m glad you’re here. This show is built for those who carry a piece of Ibiza in their heart, no matter where they are. Welcome back to In Session Ibiza.

Late summer on the island carries a different rhythm. The energy shifts inward, into the undercurrent. For this session, I dove deep. From haunting remixes to honest grooves straight from the floor.

We open with the mystique of Angel Lee on HE.SHE.THEY., a label that has become synonymous with progressive, inclusive nights at Ibiza’s most forward-thinking venues. Moby follows, a name that resonates across generations of Balearic dance floors. Later in the set, another of his collaborations is reimagined by ESSEL, a rising force whose journey began on this very island, capturing its bold and emotive essence.

The legendary Benjamin Zephaniah brings poetry into motion on always centered at night, while Roland Clark’s unmistakable voice grounds the session in club heritage, the kind etched into countless sunrise memories across Ibiza. Melanie Ribbe, deeply rooted in the island's scene, brings undeniable drive.

We also dive into the sonic world of DJ Tennis, co-founder of Life and Death, known for his deeply crafted sets in Ibiza’s more alternative corners. Eliza Rose joins him, adding her soulful, unmistakable energy that has found its way into the hearts of island dancers.

Even Sergio Mendes, reimagined with club finesse, reminds us how Ibiza continues to merge eras and sounds. I close with Freak Out, my own contribution. A track shaped by the spontaneity and surrender that the island always inspires.

This is not a linear journey. It is a circle. Each track, a point on the map of a night that exists outside of time. Only in feeling.

If this session moved you, subscribe, share it with someone who needs the vibe, and keep the spirit of the island alive.

About the Podcast

In Session Ibiza
Sebastiaan Hooft’s monthly deep tech show
In Session Ibiza is Sebastiaan Hooft’s monthly deep tech show, recorded on Ibiza, the island he has called home since 2024.
Each episode is built from the music he is finding and playing on the island right now: deep, warm and driving, selected to hold a room rather than to chase a chart. Much of it gets tested first on the rooftop at Tomorrowland Ibiza, where Sebastiaan is a resident DJ.
In Session Ibiza is the deeper side of his sound. The Midnight Project, his weekly show, is the techno side. Same selector, two sides of one sound.
