7 awesome parties in Dubai this week
Blue Marlin Ibiza closing party
Blue Marlin Ibiza UAE wraps up a pretty incredible season of parties with one of the biggest names of the year: Jamie Jones.
The British DJ has been incredibly influential in recent years, helping to drive techno in a more emotional, more melodic direction, infusing it with disco, house, funk and experimental touches that have helped the genre find a new generations of clubbers. His unique sound he says is the result of trying to find tracks that stuck in clubbers’ minds, giving full value to each component of a set – even if that meant digging around for rare or leftfield beats.
The Hot Creations label founder will be joined on stage by New York based DJ Serge Devant.
