#13 - Skiddle Ibiza presents The Japanese Popstars

The thirteenth instalment of the Skiddle.com Weekends Matter podcast is now available for your listening pleasure

This week's exclusive podcast celebrates the International Music Summit in Ibiza along with a mix from a band who have made a massive splash on the worldwide electronic scene, The Japanese Popstars.

The International Music Summit (IMS) in Ibiza runs every year for 3 days, this year running from 23rd May - 25th May at Ibiza Gran Hotel. Over 300 leading figures of the music industry head to Ibiza to network about the future direction of electronic music. Set up by Pete Tong and friends in 2008 it is now the official start to the Ibiza season. We chat to founding partner Ben Turner about the IMS.

The guest mix comes from The Japanese Popstars, who will be playing a DJ set at the Ibiza Skiddle Social on Weds 23rd May. The 3 lads known in their local town, Derry, as Japstars have a remix CV that reads like a who's who of the music industry including Beyonce, Daft Punk, Depeche Mode, Ting Tings and Editors. They have played all over the world including Fuji Rock - Japan, Oxegen - Ireland, Glastonbury Festival - UK, Electric Picnic - Ireland and many more. They also have their own brand of Nike trainers, JAPSTARS01!
