In this episode of The Dexter Jones Podcast, I sit down with Jonathan Ulysses, one of the most important figures in Ibiza club history.

Jonathan held a 17-year DJ residency at Space Ibiza, making him the longest-running resident DJ at one of the most iconic clubs on the planet. Few people experienced Ibiza’s golden era as deeply or as consistently as he did.

In this conversation, Jonathan takes us inside Space from the inside out. Early mornings, marathon warm-up sets, and the unspoken responsibility of setting the tone for legends who followed. We talk about why the warm-up DJ role is a lost art, what it really meant to earn trust in a club like Space, and how Ibiza’s tight-knit worker community shaped both the music and the culture.

We also rewind to Jonathan’s roots. From early DJ days at Simples and Club 18-30, to helping shape Soul City, this is a first-hand account of survival, progression, and longevity during Ibiza’s most legendary years.

This is not a myth-making exercise. It’s a grounded, honest reflection on legacy, pride, and lessons learned from the heart of Ibiza club culture.

If you care about Ibiza history, Space, or the craft of DJing beyond peak-time hype, this episode is essential.
