Judge Jules is inducted into the Ibiza Hall Of Fame land ooks back on a remarkable career spanning more than three decades - from his early days as a young DJ and law student to becoming one of the UK’s biggest DJs, a legendary BBC Radio 1 broadcaster, producer and music lawyer.
He recalls his first trip to Ibiza in 1988, when he played his first gig at Pacha, and how the island quickly became an important part of his career. He shares memories of the early Ibiza scene, the clubs, promoters and characters that shaped the island, and the very different experience of visiting Ibiza in the late 1980s and 1990s.
A major part of the conversation focuses on Judgement Sundays, which launched in 2000 at the venue that became Eden in San Antonio. Jules recalls the decision to create his own branded Ibiza night, the huge queue on the opening night and how the night developed into one of the island’s defining weekly events. He also talks about booking DJs such as Tiësto, Armin van Buuren, Eric Prydz and Ferry Corsten early in their careers and building diverse line-ups around emerging talent.
He also reflects on the evolution of Ibiza, the rising cost of visiting the island and the growth of daytime events aimed at an older generation of clubbers.
Now balancing an international DJ career with specialist music law, Jules reflects on how the industry and Ibiza has changed - and not always to the benefit of the younger clubbers.
Filmed at Ministry Of Sound SE1.
Presented by Alan Warman and Lisa Nash. Produced by Dave Lambert.

When it was pesetas, the English were doubling their money which is now a thing of the past. When Jules started Sundays and was charging €50 it wasn't £45!
