James Zabiela at Club Ibiza

This past Saturday I had the privilege of getting back into the DJ booth at Club Ibiza to shoot photos for London DJ James Zabiela and Club Glow. Zabiela is a resident DJ at the famous Club Space in Ibiza, Spain and has been burning up the turn tables around the world with his creative and frenetic style of beat bending and blending. He's on the cutting edge of DJ technology employing the use of his Mac and various other techno-gadgets that can do everything but make you coffee.

His set was definitely one of the more creative trance music roadtrips I've ever gone on. You could tell right from the moment he stepped to the tables that this night would be different than a basic mixologist matching beats. My good friend Michelle S came along and even she noticed the difference between Zabiela and the opening DJ. Her eyes grew wide when he started scratching and tweaking sounds on beat, almost as if the original artist meant for it to be that way.

I don't expect everyone to share my appreciation of the club life or this style of music. But when you see a DJ go to work on sound like Zabiela did, you realize this guy isn't just pushing play on a CD player and turning knobs to look cool. He's working his tail off to bring those in attendance on a journey of aural ecstasy. Click here to see the full gallery.
