Vicky Devine on 25 years in Ibiza, breaking barriers, and life behind the decks

In this episode of The Dexter Jones Podcast, I sit down with Vicky Devine, a DJ, producer, and promoter who has been a constant presence in Ibiza’s club culture for more than two decades. From early DJ residencies in San Antonio to pioneering the all-female DJ movement with Charlie’s Angelz, Vicky was shaping the island’s sound and culture long before conversations around representation became mainstream. This is an honest, first-hand account of what it really took to build a long-term career in Ibiza. We talk about the early years of the island’s club scene, long nights behind the decks, and the realities of DJ life beyond the glamour. Vicky shares insights into community, resilience, and the relationships that sustained careers during Ibiza’s most formative eras. We also reflect on key moments such as long-term residencies including Judgement Sundays, memories from Kevin & Perry at Amnesia Ibiza, and how the island has changed over the years. This isn’t a highlight reel. It’s a grounded conversation about longevity, identity, and what it means to still love the music after 25 years. If you care about Ibiza history, electronic dance music, or the realities of life behind the decks, this episode will resonate. 🎧 Take your time with this one.
