Since opening its doors in 2012, Blue Marlin Ibiza UAE has become a haven for the discerning music lover that left their heart on the White Isle. The house and techno hotspot has over the last 6 years brought the biggest and best artist to their beach side terrace and thrown some of the wildest parties the region has ever seen.
In the 6 years that BMI has been in operation the venue has consistently slayed all comers in almost every single awards ceremony and rightly so as the calibre of their events, slickness of their service and quality of their food is mostly unsurpassed in the region. It is unfathomable to comprehend the amount of world class artists that have passed through the doors of the infamous beach club but BMI are responsible for being the first to bring a number of artist to the UAE for the first time, names such as Carl Cox in 2016, Sven Vath back in 2015, Dixon in 2014, Luciano and The Martinez Brothers in 2013.
This is just a small snapshot of the booking prowess of Blue Marlin and with their gargantuan 6thbirthday celebration looming high on the horizon we take a look at the 2 artists that will be in charge of the decks. First up is an artist that has a pedigree running through him a mile wide. Almost in a former life, Ali Shirazinia was one half of possibly the most influential duos on the planet – Deep Dish. Ali’s Dubfire alter ego however has introduced techno to a whole new generation of music heads and has meant he has remained in the upper echelons of dance music since the early days of Deep Dish. Tracks such as Roadkill, Ribcage and his pitch-black reworking of Radio Slave’s peak time anthem “Grindhouse” have all gone to cement Dubfire’s name at the top.
Joining Dubfire is an artist so unmistakable and irresistible in his groove and stage presence – Loco Dice. What is there to say about the Tunisian artist that hasn’t been said before? Accomplished hip hop DJ – check. DC10 legend – check. Co-owner of one of the hottest labels in the world (Desolat) – check. Instigators of one of the best modern genres in minimal/ micro house – check. Loco Dice has done it all. There is no denying that this is one birthday parties for the books and with the season coming to an end and with it the desirable weather, this is sure to be one for the books. Happy Birthday Blue Marlin Ibiza UAE.
