Jonathan Ulysses on Space Ibiza, warm-up mastery, and 17 years at the heart of the club

In this episode of The Dexter Jones Podcast, I sit down with Jonathan Ulysses, one of the most important figures in Ibiza club history.
Jonathan held a 17-year DJ residency at Space Ibiza, making him the longest-running resident DJ at one of the most iconic clubs on the planet. Few people experienced Ibiza’s golden era as deeply or as consistently as he did.
In this conversation, Jonathan takes us inside Space from the inside out. Early mornings, marathon warm-up sets, and the unspoken responsibility of setting the tone for legends who followed. We talk about why the warm-up DJ role is a lost art, what it really meant to earn trust in a club like Space, and how Ibiza’s tight-knit worker community shaped both the music and the culture.
We also rewind to Jonathan’s roots. From early DJ days at Simples and Club 18-30, to helping shape Soul City, this is a first-hand account of survival, progression, and longevity during Ibiza’s most legendary years.
This is not a myth-making exercise.It’s a grounded, honest reflection on legacy, pride, and lessons learned from the heart of Ibiza club culture.
If you care about Ibiza history, Space, or the craft of DJing beyond peak-time hype, this episode is essential.

Dwayne Muffin on Ibiza, YouTube virality, and documenting nightlife from the inside

In this episode of The Dexter Jones Podcast, I sit down with Dwayne Muffin, one of the most recognisable content creators to emerge from Ibiza nightlife.
From selling tickets in San Antonio’s West End to building a massive online following by filming Ibiza exactly as it is, Dwayne has spent more than 15 years documenting the island from the inside. His work captures not just the madness, but the mechanics of how Ibiza nightlife really functions.
This conversation goes behind the scenes of virality, online pressure, and the reality of turning nightlife into content. We talk about how Ibiza content spreads, what actually drives YouTube growth, and the toll that constant visibility can take on creators living inside the scene they film.

AJ Gibson on Godskitchen, Global Gathering, and building a defining era of dance music

In this episode of The Dexter Jones Podcast, I sit down with AJ Gibson, the resident DJ who was there from the very beginning of Godskitchen.
Godskitchen didn’t just define a sound, it defined an era. From its earliest club nights to its rise as a global dance music brand, AJ gives a first-hand, behind-the-scenes account of how Godskitchen was built, why the atmosphere was so special, and what made it resonate with an entire generation.
We explore life inside the club from day one, the growth of party brands, and the transition from local nights to international impact through Global Gathering, world tours, and iconic compilation albums. AJ also reflects on the return of Godskitchen to Ibiza, including Ibiza XXV, and what that connection to the island still means today.

Gee Moore on Bora Bora Music, daytime parties, and shaping Ibiza culture

In this episode of The Dexter Jones Podcast, I sit down with Gee Moore, the visionary behind Bora Bora Music Ibiza and one of the true pioneers of Ibiza’s daytime party culture.
Gee Moore helped redefine what clubbing could be on the island. From 12-hour marathon sets beneath the flight path at Playa d’en Bossa to building a movement that influenced daytime parties across the world, his impact on Ibiza club culture is impossible to overstate.
In this conversation, we go deep into the origins of Bora Bora Music Ibiza, the atmosphere that made those years so special, and the reality of building something organic before social media and algorithms existed. Gee also reflects on his wider creative journey, from record labels and releases to his life in Brazil and how distance reshaped his relationship with music and Ibiza.
This is not a surface-level nostalgia trip.It’s a first-hand account of creativity, community, and how one idea helped change the rhythm of an entire island.

Kirk Field on life inside UK rave culture

In this episode of The Dexter Jones Podcast, I sit down with Kirk Field, one of the most respected and credible voices in UK rave and club culture.
Kirk was there at the birth of the scene. As a journalist for Mixmag, DJ Mag, and NME, he documented the rise of UK rave culture from the inside, at a time when misinformation, media panic, and political pressure distorted what was really happening on dancefloors across the country.
This conversation goes deep into the reality of the early rave years. The scale, the energy, the chaos, and the community that defined an era. We talk honestly about the myths versus the truth, why the press often got it wrong, and why documenting rave culture accurately still matters today.
We also explore Kirk’s latest work, Rave New World 2: Planes, Trains & Amphetamines, and why the sequel had to be written. From UK warehouses and legendary venues like Bagleys and Freedom, to Ibiza in the 1990s and the realities behind overcrowded superclubs, this is a first-hand account of a movement that reshaped music history.
This is not nostalgia for nostalgia’s sake.It’s about truth, context, and preserving the real story of rave culture.
