“DJs mix the drinks, you mix the records” declare Café Mambo ahead of their 3rd Mambo in the Mix charity event this summer. “Mine is a vodka lemonade no ice” I cry back, but wait, are DJs really going to be serving up cocktails in the sunset stripe's legendary bar?
The answer is quite probably! This Tuesday 9th September the free fundraiser will see house music royalty swap the DJ booth for Mambo's bar and grill to raise money for Ibiza and Formentera's less fortunate communities. Which leaves the decks unattended right? Wrong, Ibiza holiday-makers are offered the chance to receive coaching from the top notch names present and mix the beats in an exchange for a charitable donation. The event starts at 7pm – 1am so if you've ever fancied yourself as a Carl Cox or an MK now's your time to step right up.
Past line-ups have included a real mash-up of A-list artists like Armin Van Buuren, Paul Van Dyk, Eric Prydz (pictured), Laidback Luke, Dimitri Vegas, Jamie Jones and Seth Troxler. See flyer below for this year's impressive roster!
Mambo in the Mix creates an opportunity for the DJs to give something back to an island that has done so much for the electronic music world. In the previous two years it has raised over a staggering 60 000 euros and with raffles and other fun and games planned, the White Isle is confident a successful amount will be added to that total this year!
For those who are unable to make it to the sunset strip for this spectacular event, you can donate through www.cafemamboibiza.com and links posted through Facebook https://www.facebook.com/mamboibiza and Twitter account @mamboibiza.
All proceeds from the party will go to local charities including the Red Cross of Ibiza and Formentera.
