Diynamic announces its Ibiza residency 2014. The new event series goes under the name “Diynamic Outdoor” and will take place at “Cova Santa”, a so far largely unknown stunning venue tucked away in the picturesque landscape in the centre of the island. Every Tuesday from July 22nd to September 9th Diynamic presents a daytime event in the true spirit of Ibiza. Sunshine, good vibes and above all, quality electronic music presented by the very best Diynamic has to offer.

When setting up the plans for Ibiza 2014, Diynamic, the Hamburg based music and event label, felt like it was time for something new. It was the right moment to get further and make the next step. The Diynamic crew loves Ibiza and that is why they wanted to bring some innovation and diversity to the island, but keeping the original spirit of the so-called magic island: This is what “Diynamic Outdoor” is all about!

And fortune kept on smiling: An amazing location fell into Dynamic’s hands just at the right time. Cova Santa, a delightful spot a few miles from the little village San Jose, where olive trees grow and nature is at its purest. If you do understand a few words of Spanish, you might have guessed that “Cova” is the Spanish word for cave – and that is for a reason: “Cova Santa” is a venue adjacent to a real cave, which pirates used in the 15th century. It has a rich history of holy men and cultures seeking refuge within its safe walls. It was one of the islands main tourist attractions in the 1950’s. Nowadays its impressive interior houses one of the best wine cellars in the Balearic Islands. Cova Santa is a stunning venue with its beautiful outdoor terrace, an own indoor club and natural atmosphere.

Until just recently it has not really been used for parties. There were a few secret events before though, some hush-hush after parties, only DJs and their closes followers. 2014 is the official debut for “Cova Santa” as a club venue and Diynamic is glad to be part of it.

“Diynamic Outdoor” is about the pure experience of electronic music. A place for people to enjoy themselves out in the open. Actually, Diynamic Outdoor is what Ibiza was always about. The parties will take place on eight Tuesdays starting from July 22nd through September 9th. They will start in the afternoon, continue until midnight and then – for those who cannot get enough – move into the intimate indoor club of Cova Santa.

The line-up features simply the best of Diynamic: Solomun, H.O.S.H., Adriatique, Kollektiv Turmstrasse, David August, Stimming and more DJs and live acts from the Diynamic roster.

Everyone at Diynamic is super excited. Enjoying the view of the hills of Ibiza, watching the sunset and dancing in the moonlight together with our friends and the Diynamic family. Party with taste and respect to the environment that surrounds it. Summer may come!

Music sensation Ray Isaac is counting down to the launch of his brand new album, which has a touching twist. The launch, which will take place on April 5th at Marble Bar in Sydney’s Hilton Hotel, will herald the release of his new album to US, UK and Australian markets, and the lead track on the album is an anti-bullying anthem that is set to take the world by storm.

Multitalented Ray, who divides his time between London, LA and Sydney, and works as a singer, songwriter and DJ, is cultivating a name for himself on the global music circuit. The album itself has been crowd funded predominantly by Ray’s devoted Australian fans, and he is now ready to launch the record and the lead track ‘Who I Am’ to the world’s media and music press.

Ray says of his album launch, “I’m thrilled to be launching my new album and music video in Sydney, which was the place where this whole album started for me. The fans have received me amazingly in Oz, and I’d like to give back by inviting them to the launch of my album, which will take place on April 5th and will feature a two-hour concert with me backed by a live band, free food, an autographed copy of my album, and of course, the first screening of my new video, ‘Who I Am’.”

 The video sets this album apart from the rest with a unique, anthemic anti-bullying message. The song itself, ‘Who I Am’, is about human beings taking back their equality and self-love, but also has a strong anti-bullying message which has real resonance with Ray, who used to be a teacher. The song is intended to empower young people, and heal any hurt or pain caused by bullying, and Ray intends to send the video out to schools and ensure it goes viral online to spread this important message to as many young people as possible. He believes in teaching young people to love themselves in order to find happiness, and feedback on his track already indicates that it is a strong, relatable song that many people can find comfort in.

Ray has also issued an invitation for all media to come and watch the screening of the video for the first time, as well as receiving a free copy of the album for potential review. All members of the media are invited to attend to get an idea of what Ray is trying to achieve with the launch of this album and video, and to enjoy being serenaded by the man himself for two hours while they chat to fans and discover more about this enigmatic musician with a passion for spreading anti-bullying messages.
