The Other Side of the Island: A Different View of Ibiza

When most people think of Ibiza, they picture big nights, bigger clubs, and the soundtrack that defined a generation of dance-floors. But there’s another rhythm to this island – slower, softer, and rooted in its landscapes, people, and hidden corners. That’s the story I’m telling through The Other Side of the Island, a vlog series on the NuNorthern Soul YouTube channel.

This series isn’t about chasing the obvious. Instead, it’s about slowing down and taking time to explore the places and stories that live outside the main frame. Each episode finds me walking into the lesser-seen side of Ibiza – the backroads, the inland villages, the quiet paths that end in a stretch of sea or a viewpoint that feels untouched.

And because this is NuNorthern Soul, the sound is just as important as the sights. Every episode is soundtracked by music from the label’s family of artists – releases that carry the same sense of space, warmth, and timelessness as the places I visit. The beats, melodies, and atmospheres you hear are not just background; they’re part of the story, guiding the pace and shaping how the island is experienced.

It’s not a rush. It’s not a checklist. It’s a way of soaking in Ibiza at the tempo it deserves – letting music and landscape flow together, opening up another side of the island that’s often overlooked.

At its heart, The Other Side of the Island is about connection – with the land, with culture, with the music we release, and with those quieter moments that can get drowned out if we move too fast.

I’ve pulled all the episodes together into a single playlist so you can dip in, take your time, and let the journey unfold.
