House | Friday 26th June 2015 | Annalisa
Electronic music live video streaming platform BE-AT.TV has announced the acquisition of non-commercial Ibiza radio station Ibiza Sonica, a leading online and FM radio station committed to spreading the music of Ibiza worldwide.
Ibiza Sonica was founded in 2006 by Igor Marijuan and Miguel Valverde in an effort to deliver the best of Ibiza’s underground sounds worldwide, with the station’s simultaneous Internet and FM broadcasts reaching listeners around the world. With over 10 million listeners per month, Ibiza Sonica's exclusive content features a mix of the freshest Ibiza tunes, international guest DJs and live on-location broadcasts from some of the biggest club and festival events. The San Rafael-based Sonica complex also comprises a record label, recording studio, touring agency, events broadcast services and management services for a number of additional branded radio stations. As part of the acquisition, Igor Marijuan and Miguel Valverde will continue their roles as joint managing directors, and Ibiza Sonica will be moving to a new FM frequency, 92.4.
To commemorate the acquisition, BE-AT.TV and Ibiza Sonica Radio are holding a huge outdoor free launch party, One, on Saturday 27 June in the Ibiza Town Old Port, with the event also broadcast live on BE-AT.TV and Ibiza Sonica. The line-up for the party is suitably epic - Dosem, Guy Gerber, Harvard Bass, Matthias Tanzmann, Nic Fanciulli, and Reboot b2b Melanie Ribbe are all playing along with support from Igor Marijuan and José Padilla.
As Ray Smith, CEO and Founder of BE-AT.TV has said, "If you don't have the time, money, or effort to get to Ibiza, we will bring the island to you, accessible 24/7 via internet radio, web, and mobile."
