The winner of the Marina Ibiza DJ Contest held last weekend at the marina in collaboration with Blue Marlin Ibiza is disc jockey Xicu Portas from Ibiza. This DJ contest was just one of the many events that make Marina Ibiza one of the Mediterranean‘s most sought after harbours in this popular yacht charter destination, not only for the quality the services provided and its facilities, but also for the excellent choice of leisure activities offered on the marina site by Ibiza‘s hottest hangouts.

The 25-year-old DJ and percussionist Xicu Portas demonstrated his skills on the stage and scooped the most votes in a closely-contested final in which a further six talented DJs took part. Second place went to DJ Deafnoxx who, despite only having 50% of his hearing capacity, demonstrated his huge ability on the mixingtable.

The final had a distinctly Ibizan flavour since the third-placed contestant, Toni Moore, was born in Ibiza in 1983 and has lived here all his life. Xicu Portas will get to play next summer’s music at Blue Marlin Ibiza, which has previously hosted DJ’s Tom Crane, Wally López, Bruce Hill, Sylvain Armand and the two duos Glowinthedark and Goldfish, amongst others.
