Legendary Ibiza Dj Pippi as one of the very first Ibiza residents he managed to claim a prominent spot in the global house scene. He truly is one of the creators of that distinct Ibiza sound that is loved and respected worldwide
Dj Pippi started to become known in musical circles in Ibiza, and one of his tapes was picked up by the management of “Pacha”, who realised that this young Italian was the right person to make “Pacha” an unmissable venue in the disco circuits of the world. The disco’s owners flew to Germany without hesitation to offer him the contract that would change his life.
Dj Pippi has worked two different stints in “Pacha”. The first time was between 1984 and 1987, and the second one started in 1991 – and he is still playing there for special events. Amid these two stints, DJ Pippi signed a contract to work in the disco “Ku” (today’s “Privilege”). So this DJ has been playing records for more than 25 years. It is a job that takes up most of the year, as in summer he is one of the institutions of Ibiza, and during the winter he travels the world playing music on all five continents..
Although it may not seem so, the way to the top of the dj’s world is long and tough. “A dj’s job must be taken very seriously by anyone who wants to become the best – you have to live it every day. Everything I’ve have today is due to determination and hard work, ” he states categorically. And he knows exactly what he is talking about. He’s been living vinyl for many years, a career which received international recognition when he appeared on the cover of the English magazine “DJ Magazine” (the dj’s bible), in August 1998. Appearing on the cover of this magazine is most a dj can hope for, in terms of specialised magazines. The headline of the article asked if DJ Pippi was the luckiest dj alive, and another headline was even more explicit: “On top of the world?”. Even though he is at the top, he doesn’t object to sharing sessions with other djs. “You can always learn new things in this job
