How does a career in DJing sound? Probably a silly question. If this is your ambition, we've got the perfect place to kick-start the dream, right here on Ibiza. Where better? Orbit DJ Retreats is back on the island and has unveiled an exciting line up for its 2025 edition.
Bringing world class DJs and production mentorship to Ibiza, the five day event returns from 28 September to 3 October.
During this time, the flagship retreat hosts DJ and production workshops by top tier mentors led by Joe Goddard, who's known for his acclaimed solo work and as a founding member of synth pop group Hot Chip.
UK rave pioneer and one-half of the legendary duo Orbital, Phil Hartnoll and BBC Radio 1 tastemaker Sarah Story will also be there to give their unmatched expertise.
Plus, there will be contribution from founder and familiar Ibiza face Doorly.
With a track record of annual sell-outs since 2019, the retreat has helped alumni secure releases on major labels from the likes of Gorgon City and Damian Lazarus, as well as performances at top festivals and clubs worldwide.
What can you learn on this retreat, you ask? Orbit DJ Retreats covers technical training in Ableton, Logic Pro and Pioneer DJ equipment, along with audience growth strategies, marketing and PR insights.
Participants also receive in-depth mentorship from industry executives specialising in booking, touring, social media and promotion. Wellness and mindfulness remain core to the programme, incorporating yoga, meditation, and breathwork sessions to support long-term success.
In addition to the Ibiza retreat, there will also be a Byron Bay edition for aspiring Australasian-based DJs this August.
If this sounds like a bit of you, act fast, as the limited spots are filling quickly. Apply now via the Orbit DJ Retreats' website.
