Biography
Andy Baxter is a DJ with the innate ability to read any dance floor. There is no finer example than his home base of Pacha, Ibiza, where he has covered every genre of music over his ten-year stint as year-round resident and international touring artist. From Balearic sounds, hip-hop, disco and rare groove to deep, melodic tech house, 2012 saw an increase in demand for his main room sets, warming up for Defected, Cadenza, All Gone Pete Tong and Subliminal. Andy's constantly evolving technical skills led to a role as host of the Pioneer Lab on the rooftop terrace, demonstrating the latest equipment to visiting international artists. Additional residencies include a fifth season with the legendary 'We Love' Sundays at Space, season number six with iconic Ibiza sunset institution Café Mambo, plus a twice weekly residency at high-end beach club El Chiringuito and on-island resident duties for luxury and VIP event specialists The Shop.

After his 180 gigs in Ibiza last summer alone, it is difficult to find a harder working DJ in the game.
