040 AND NOW, OPENING THIS NEW CHAPTER WITH [UNVRS], WHAT DO YOU HOPE PEOPLE WILL TAKE AWAY FROM THESE NIGHTS IN 2025 AND BEYOND? That’s another good question. I guess I grew up going to Circo Loco as an after hours on Monday mornings, it’s where I met my l ifelong friends and made connections with l ikeminded people. I think we are the party at [UNVRS] where people come to l isten to new music, rave and dance but also meet people, social ise and get groovy. Our visuals and production are there to compl iment the vibe, make things interesting whi lst you have a good time dancing to the music, not to be the main focus. That makes us the party to hang out at, the party where people can come to every week and not get bored because its focus is a show. The party where people can make those connections. I hope that’s what people walk away from Paradise at [UNVRS] with. WHERE DOES JAMIE GO TO FIND REFUGE IN IBIZA WHEN HE WANTS TO DISCONNECT? I love taking my kids to the beach in the morning before it gets too hot or too busy. I like the beaches in the north because I can play with my kids without interruption as it’s mainly fami l ies there. I love walking through some forests with my kids and our dog too. I also love going to the spa, a good meditation in the sauna, fol lowed by the cold plunge always refreshes my energy. FINALLY, IN YOUR OWN WORDS: WHAT DOES FIESTA MEAN TO YOU, AND WHAT’S BULLSHIT? Well until I started coming to Spain, around 17 years old fiesta was a cheap car that older guys in my town in Wales would try to make cool with fake wheels and horrible paint jobs. But in my adult life it’s meant time to party, which I’ve almost always answered with vamos. Bullshit to me, I mean there’s many flavours, talking shit can be good or bad but to be honest bullshit is always bad, well sometimes it’s funny but it’s never what you need, but sometimes what you get.
