Bushwacka! - from DJing in Ibiza aged 17 to making the island home

Matthew Benjamin aka Bushwacka! is latest recipient of an Ibiza Hall Of Fame award and joined us at IMS Ibiza in April to discuss his early Ibiza adventures, including arriving on the island at just 17 and being offered an Amnesia residency that he turned down to focus on building his profile  — a decision that helped lay the foundations for a remarkable 35-year career.From the Acid House explosion of the late 1980s to global success as one half of Layo & Bushwacka!, Matthew Benjamin has become one of electronic music's most respected DJs and producers. In this episode he reflects on Ibiza's evolution, the highs and lows of a life in dance music, and the lessons learned from a career that has taken him from London warehouses to the world's biggest clubs.Filmed and recorded at IMS Ibiza @ Hyde Ibiza.Presented by Alan Warman and Clara Griffin.
