IMS Speaker David Guetta states "I've heard nothing but amazing reports about the International Music Summit, and I've even brought our own Fuck Me I'm Famous launch party forward to co-incide with this great electronic music gathering. It's been an incredible year for me, so it's nice to come back to Ibiza where so much of this all began for me. I'm looking forward to debating what happens next to this incredible music culture we've all helped shape in the last 20 years."
With the leading names across media and technology coupled with established artists and managers, IMS aim to generate the most rounded debates on electronic music with speakers from each corner of the industry.
IMS will also hear from legendary producer Robin Millar, responsible for 44 number one hits, who will talk about why just one month after he retired from production duties, electronic music has re-inspired him, and see the return of 19-year old teen promoter Callum Negus Fancey from Let's Go Crazy after stealing the show last year by stating "Who is Paul Oakenfold? My audience have never heard of him." In addition, IMS has teamed up with leading consumer portal Resident Advisor, whose audience will select a topic and speakers for the Presidential Debate format which debuted in 2009 to great acclaim.
Ben Turner, a founder and partner in the IMS, states: "IMS was never about the artists, more the people behind the curtain who help guide the gifted. In 2010, we've been overwhelmed by approaches from artists to be involved in some way. It's a great testament to our first two years. Watch out for more special names to follow..."
Once again the IMS Grand Finale will take place at the UNESCO World Heritage Site in Dalt Vila on Friday May 28. Last year, Basement Jaxx headlined with Pete Tong, Rob da Bank and Filthy Dukes in support. IMS has been inundated with requests from artists to perform at this landmark event. The headline acts will be announced imminently. The event is free to attend for all delegates of the IMS, with some 2,000 tickets available to the public.
