Miller Genuine Draft

2017 has been a beguiling year in Ibiza. Record numbers of tourists have flocked to the island as the clubbing landscape shifts at pace. Despite venue changes, and gradual shifts in sounds and trends, one thing Ibiza always delivers is the world's best DJs – week-in-week-out – all summer long. So, as we approach the closing parties, it's time to shine a light on the best DJ sets recorded on the island this year.

Hi Vane! So first of all, congratulations on winning Miller SoundClash! How does it feel?

"Thank you! Wow, this was a wonderful experience. Miller SoundClash was the best experience of my life, I am so happy!"

How did you feel after your set. Did you feel confident that you had a chance of winning?

"Yeah I felt very confident because it was a pool party and my sound is very tropical and percussive and I know the crowds here can really enjoy that sound."

Next month Miller SoundClash returns to Las Vegas! The 10 finalists, who have been selected from 9 countries worldwide are preparing to fly to Las Vegas to perform at The Miller SoundClash Grand Final at Marquee DayClub.

The winner gets to perform a set ahead of The Chainsmokers, sign a recording contract with AfterCluv DanceLab (Universal Music) and be interviewed by DJ Mag, so the stakes are high!

These are the DJs who will be competing for 2017’s coveted Miller SoundClash Crown!

How did you get your big break in the world of dance music?

Clubs are the lifeblood of the electronic music scene. Yet in recent years people have been stepping out of conventional venues and exploring new and exciting spaces to enjoy dance music.

For some time, the line between festivals and clubs has blurred. Venues like Brazil’s Green Valley, Croatia’s Papaya and Ibiza’s Ushuaia – with their vast outdoor stages – have more in common with a festival than a traditional venue.

Miami Music Week has it all. Between 21–27 March, the city lives and breathes dance music. On the ground, it feels like every pool, rooftop, boat and nightclub in the city moves to an electronic beat. Here’s our pick of some of this year’s best events…
