In this episode of Loud & Unfiltered, we sit down with Wyan Schreiber, Marketing Manager at Chinois Ibiza and former Tour Manager for Loco Dice, to explore the island’s unique culture, the evolution of its nightlife and what it really takes to work in the electronic music industry.

Wyan reflects on growing up in Ibiza, surrounded by the island’s countercultural roots and the hippie movement that helped shape its identity. With his parents part of that world, he shares how experiencing Ibiza from childhood gave him a unique perspective on the island, its people and the culture that continues to define it today.

We go behind the scenes of life on the road with Loco Dice, as Wyan looks back on three years touring with one of electronic music’s biggest names. From the realities of constant travel to the responsibilities that come with managing an artist on tour, we break down what a Tour Manager actually does and the work that goes on behind the scenes to keep everything running.

As Marketing Manager at Chinois, Wyan also shares his perspective on the club’s place in Ibiza’s ever-changing nightlife landscape, discussing why he sees it as a sonic temple for the island and what makes its approach to music and club culture stand apart.

We dive into the growing influence of VIP culture, the rising cost of going out and the question of whether Ibiza is pricing younger generations out of the experience that made the island so special in the first place. From the changing expectations of clubbers to the balance between commercial success and authentic underground culture, we explore what the future of Ibiza nightlife could look like.

In conversation with our presenter Grego, Wyan also reflects on the political and regulatory challenges facing the island, examining how local government decisions shape Ibiza’s nightlife and why the island’s unique political landscape differs from Palma, where laws and policies are passed.

Along the way, we discuss Ibiza’s hippie heritage, the realities of life on tour, the changing economics of club culture and the challenges of preserving the island’s identity as its nightlife continues to evolve.

In this episode of Loud&Unfiltered, we sit down with Chelina Manuhutu - international DJ and one of the most recognisable names in the global house music scene - to explore her journey from the world of modelling to finding her place behind the decks.

Chelina opens up about her early beginnings in a girlband, the life-changing accident in 2010 that brought her modelling career to an unexpected halt, and how music became the thing that helped her find her way forward.

We explore how a holiday in Ibiza changed everything, from handing a demo to the Dutch owner of Blue Marlin to receiving a call the very next day to play. What started as an opportunity quickly turned into an invitation to return for a residency the following season, marking the beginning of a new chapter in her career.

Chelina also reflects on her journey through the international house music scene, the opportunities that have shaped her career, and the importance of staying true to herself along the way.

In an industry where bigger fees and commercial opportunities can be hard to turn down, Chelina explains why protecting her sound and playing in the right clubs will always matter more to her than chasing the money. For her, staying authentic to the music and the environments where she feels most connected to it is what counts.

From overcoming personal setbacks to building an international career on her own terms, this is a conversation about resilience, following your passion and staying true to your sound in an ever-changing industry.

In this episode of Loud & Unfiltered, we sit down with Kurt Hurst - music industry entrepreneur, artist manager, promoter and founder of Hide&Seek Festival - to explore his journey through the world of electronic music and his growing influence on the UK and Ibiza scenes.

Kurt takes us behind the scenes of building Hide&Seek from the ground up, the importance of passion when navigating the highs and lows of the music industry, and what it really takes to turn an idea into a successful festival and music platform.

We explore Kurt’s journey alongside his long-time friend and business partner Josh Baker, from the early days of building their careers together to watching their vision of one day hosting the Amnesia Terrace become a reality.

Today, Kurt and the You&Me team host their own residency at Amnesia every Thursday throughout the season - a full-circle moment that reflects just how far their ambitions have taken them.

Kurt also opens up about the realities of artist management and development, including the importance of knowing when to say no, avoiding overexposure and helping artists make the right decisions as their careers accelerate.

Along the way, he shares the moment he first realised something was happening with Josh, the challenges of building a career in an industry that demands relentless passion, and the lessons he has learned from more than a decade working across festivals, events, artists and international dance music scenes.

From Hide&Seek to You&Me and from the UK festival circuit to one of Ibiza’s most iconic terraces, this is a conversation about ambition, passion, artist development and what it takes to build something that lasts.
