Hotseat with HotBed

Back to Blog

HotBed are returning every Wednesday bringing with them their fruity production, turning the day time venue into a tropical paradise. When it comes to the music these artists never fail to deliver, playing uplifting vocal house and pairing it with live musicians creating the perfect poolside party.

We have seen these guys go from strength to strength – they have used winter to take the HotBed series to various parts of the world expanding the HotBed family so it comes as no surprise that 2019 is going to be their best year yet.

From O Beach Ibiza’s headquarters we’ve decided it’s about time we put HotBed on the hot seat. With it being their third year, the HotBed team of Dj’s and musicians have become familiar faces around the beach club.  So we thought we would ask the guys a few fruity questions to give you more of an insight into the guys who make Wednesday’s feel like the weekend!

DJ Spen is my favourite producer, but the people who influence me the most are the people closest to me like my little sister Ellie Cocks and also my mum was a massive musical influence.

What’s been your best O Beach moment so far?

Sounds funny but when the music cut out because of the torrential rain…The atmosphere was mental! Lucky we had JWalks on the drums and Josh on the Sax because it kept the party alive!

So many cool spots in Ibiza, I love the sea and to swim so probably to a beach, one of my favourites is Cala Comte.

I’m a simple girl that loves food so I would have to say the steak ciabatta with chips, seriously those chips are life!

Todd Terry will always be a big influence, his tunes are timeless and always go down a treat with the crowd. Todd is god!

Name: lloyd nwagboso

What’s your fruitest track at the moment?

Ohhh good question. I’ve been playing Mighty Mouse – the spirit  ever since it came out about 6 months ago. It’s got a super cool groove and an insane vocal near theend of the track.

What’s your fave meal at O Beach?

I always tend to go the the chicken wrap, mainly because it’s light and I like to leave a little room for a mojito or two 😉

Who’s your musical influences?

Michael Jackson will always be my number one.. but most my influences come from my mum and dads old vinyl collection.. people like Teddy Pendergrass, Luther Vandross, Marvin Gaye, Stevie wonder. And special mention to Freddie Mercury he was the coolest full stop!

What’s been your best O Beach moment so far

I don’t have a single moment as every week we play is unbelievable . I’m just super appreciative to play every week for a great team in Hotbed, they are like family now at one of Ibiza’s best venues. I can’t wait to get started again in 2019.

What’s your favourite spot in ibiza to unwind?

I love the food and settings of Yemanja, if you haven’t been to it check it out… tell them Lloyd sent you. They don’t know who I am but if loads of people rock up saying Lloyd sent us, maybe when I next go I’ll say I’m Lloyd and get a free meal…

If you were a fruit what would it be and why?

I’d go for strawberry, because the season for strawberries to be at their juiciest runs from May – September. That ties in perfectly with HotBed at O beach Ibiza… can’t wait to see you guys there.
