SUMMARY

- The birth of Ten Ibiza
- The different branches of the label
- About Oriol Calvo, the brain of the operation
- What makes an Ibiza-themed party brand work so well in Tulum?
Born in 2013 from the passion and respect of its founders Oriol Calvo and Micky for the identity of the music and lifestyle that existed in Ibiza, Ten Ibiza it’s a movement encompassing various facets. Ten Ibiza represents a party production brand, an ONG creating new DJs, and a record label. Fueled by the essence of what the Ibiza identity represents to the world at large, Ten Ibiza fosters a microcosm that mirrors the island around the world.
At its core, Ten Ibiza refuses to be confined by labels or genres. It reinvents the spirit of Ibiza, blending modern house music with a fresh perspective while maintaining the authenticity of its roots.
With residencies in some of the most prestigious venues across the world, Ten Ibiza has brought its distinctive vibe to cities like Miami, Buenos Aires, São Paulo, Amsterdam, Istanbul, Cairo, Moscow, Geneva, and Madrid. From France to Argentina, from Mexico to Egypt, Ten Ibiza offered locally what people were craving from the island; and in bringing it home, it built a global network of partygoers who understand the intention behind it all.
In addition to the music, the compromise is to the future. The future of the island resides in the DJs, and that's why Ten Ibiza organizes Hola DJ!, a set of intensive courses on DJing and Musical Production. The cost is minimal and a percentage of the earnings go to charity.
Tulum has become a second home for Ten Ibiza, and making a base at Vagalume Tulum has cemented its place as one of the city’s most anticipated electronic series of events.
The Mind
One of the key figures behind Ten Ibiza is Oriol Calvo, a DJ, producer, and co-owner of both Ten Ibiza and YOU Ibiza. With decades of experience on the White Island, he plays a fusion of deep house, tech house, and Balearic beats. A resident of Ibiza Global Radio and a contributor to DJ Magazine, Oriol’s expertise and passion for music have shaped the identity of Ten Ibiza.
Ten Ibiza continues to deliver the exact experiences it promised wherever it lands. In Tulum, their collaborations with Vagalume Tulum bring together the style and the artists that would be impossible otherwise. Tulum is a new identity forged similarly to the one in Ibiza, in a way making it the American Ibiza.
