Immaculate Ibiza Music is a
Ibiza-based label, created after the release of the first
volume of “Eivissa Immaculada Project”, which focussed on
traditional music and Ibizan folklore and was signed by
Esteban Lucci in 2004. Eric Jan Harmsen (formerly of the
Pereira Theatre), Margalida Roig, Vicent and Toni Marí Marí
all collaborated on this project.
In the years that followed, Tomi Del Castillo joined the
label with Esteban, his partner in ten years of adventures
in various labels through the house fusion Project Solar
Sides (King Street Sounds, Inca Music, BMG France etc).
In the spring of 2006 they made a second album together,
which was exclusive to the mythical venue “Las Dalias”
(Immaculate Ibiza Music, “Spirit of Las Dalias”). This
album fuses music from Eastern Europe and Asia with the
most up-to-date sounds and has been an unqualified success.
It represents a sample of what the spirit of Dalias means
to them.
At the same time they are reissuing their entire extensive
back-catalogue as producers and composers, this time in an
attractive and exclusive format called “plexicase”. This
will put the CDs within reach of lovers of the very best
music and present them in a deluxe designer case which does
justice to the quality of the music
Already in 2007 they are releasing the volume ”Spirit of
Las Salinas” vol 2, a very electronic album which tries and
succeeds in producing music which manages to be extremely
synthetic and electronic whilst remaining warm.
This latest release is a double CD, the first being Lounge
and Mid-tempo and the other very electro and minimal house,
though also bright and optimistic.
Immaculate Ibiza Music is also preparing to bring out the
all new “Immaculate Ibiza Music Stick” this year (2007)
which really is an alternative to the CD.
It’s a USB key that contains the label’s 120 best songs
plus information, videos etc. The music industry is
changing everyday at a great speed and the label
“Immaculate Ibiza Music” is at the cutting edge, trying to
offer cheaper, more accessible music in new formats which
have been demanded by the public since explosion of the
Internet into the music business
With respect to this, the label’s music is available on all
legal download sites on the internet.
They also provide their music free of charge to fans who,
in one way or another, have supported their music and who
contact the label via: www.immaculateibiza.com.
A “real” point of
contact with the public is their shop in the hippy market
in Punta Arabi, where they offer sessions every Wedensday
and make their CDs and merchandising available to the
public.
The intention and artistic vision of Immaculate Ibiza Music
is to concentrate all its energies on the creation of
quality music which is really representative of the island
of Ibiza, even if this means sidelining deals with major
labels and distributors who would exert artistic pressure
and promote music with marketing which is poorly understood
and set out.
In short; quality, independence and cutting edge in every
sense.
For 2008, two projects are being cooked up by IIM which
represent a substantial challenge for Esteban and Tomi.
