The story

What Happened After Hideout?

The opportunities did not simply increase in number — they expanded in scale, location and profile. Jamie moved from artist development to Eden Ibiza, London venues, festival stages and repeat bookings back on the island.

The starting point

The Hideout Retreat

Ibiza

Jamie joined an intensive artist environment built around DJ development, performance, music and networking. Hideout was not the end goal — it became the beginning of his next stage.
