BBC Radio 1s Annie Mac's Ibiza Blog

I arrived in Ibiza on Tuesday night and came straight from the airport to Reclaim The Dancefloor at Eden. And I saw Fake Blood, who I have to say totally smashed it.

Then on Wednesday I had my first ever gig in the main room at Pacha for Erick Morillo at Subliminal: that was quite a different gig for me to play! It was a house set but when I walked into the booth, I couldn't speak for about half an hour: I was very, very scared. Pacha is like the terrace at Amnesia, everyone is looking at you and it's very intimidating. Also the people who go are different, it's very European and there are a lot of men in white linen. But I got together some deep stuff, some Dirtybird and Riva Starr and played tribal and then disco house at the end. Armand Van Helden came down, which was a bit scary too! And then Erick came into the booth and said 'I've been watching your whole set....' I'm really glad I didn't know that!

After a beach day on Thursday, Friday was Radio 1 live from Ibiza Rocks - really intense. Kid carnage. And that was the first time I did the Mash-Up there, normally it's at Mambo. Miike Snow killed it for me and Fake Blood totally got it. Then I went to Eden with Vernon Kaye and all the Radio 1 DJs - really enjoyed Luciano and Pete. I thought I would be in Zane and Mark Ronson's hip hop-flavoured room all night but I was really into it.

As for Saturday night, it was a case of house music at Privilege all night long with the amazing 2manyDJs on before me. So yeah, there have been lots of highlights!
