James Hype To Ban Phones For Ibiza Residency

In a quick one minute video posted on his Instagram, James Hype has made the announcement of banning phones for the rest of his residency together with Italian group, Meduza. Taking place every Friday in the Club Room of HÏ IBIZA, from now on, the fans will be requested not to use their mobile devices and just dive into the experience that the ‘Our House‘ show offers.

James stated that the Club Room at HÏ IBIZA is the best venue to put the ‘no phone rule’ in place as the room, is dark and there are no big screens to take videos of. This creates an intimate atmosphere between the DJ and the crowd, hopefully immersing people more into the music rather than fascinating visuals.

While the British DJ mentioned he loves seeing people sharing videos from his shows on social media, he also talked about events where he played and no phones were allowed and how much that changes the environment in the club. As much as this is about the artist getting a better connection with the crowd, James also stated that he wants to give younger people the opportunity to see what raves were like back in the days when no such filming devices existed.

John Summit has also spoken on this topic in a Twitter post that he made last month. As many of you may know already, he is ‘the man in finance’ some girls look out for, having a master’s degree in accounting. The American DJ mentioned he would rather retire and work as an accountant while playing parties where people actually dance, instead of making a fortune playing shows where the crowd is there for social media and forget the actual meaning of a rave. He later added to the idea saying “not sure how much I even mean this I’m truly just burnt out belief right now.”
