Nick Ferguson on One More Time Ibiza & Two Decades as an Ibiza Promoter
In this special episode of The Dexter Jones Podcast, I sit down with my partner Nick Ferguson, the driving force behind One More Time Ibiza, now recognised as one of the island’s most consistent weekly parties for Ibiza classics. We tell the real story of how One More Time began not in a boardroom, but inside a viral Ibiza workers Facebook group, before growing into a full weekly institution at Eden Ibiza. This is an honest, behind-the-scenes conversation about independence, resilience, and why nostalgia still matters. From consistently booking DJ legends to surviving Covid, navigating post-Brexit staffing challenges, and resisting the pressure to over-commercialise, Nick and I break down what it actually takes to build and sustain a weekly party in modern Ibiza. We also talk crowd demographics, multi-generational clubbing, the balance between classics and new music, and why One More Time prioritises atmosphere, connection, and fun over phones and hype. This is not a promo piece.It’s a transparent look at the realities of promoting in Ibiza — the wins, the stress, and the long-term vision. If you care about Ibiza culture, classic dance music, or how real club nights are built from the ground up, this episode delivers. 🎧 Take your time with this one.
