The Hideout FAQ

The Hideout is an Ibiza DJ retreat for DJs, music producers and aspiring artists who want to develop their skills, build their career and experience performing in Ibiza.

It is designed for people who want more than a traditional DJ course or Ibiza holiday. Over four nights, you'll live in a private Ibiza villa, learn from experienced DJs and industry professionals, work on your music and brand, meet other artists and perform a live DJ set at Eden Ibiza.

Whether you're just starting your DJ journey or already have experience behind the decks, The Hideout combines DJ workshops, music production, mentorship, networking, wellness and a real Ibiza club performance.

No. You don't need to already be an experienced DJ to join The Hideout.

The Hideout is designed for developing DJs who want to take their career to the next level.

You'll get practical experience using professional equipment including Pioneer CDJ-3000s and DJM-V10 mixers, with sessions covering mixing, track selection, set structure and performing in an Ibiza environment.

The Hideout is suitable for DJs at beginner, intermediate and developing advanced levels.

If you're new to DJing, the workshops will help you understand the fundamentals of mixing, track selection, equipment and set structure.

If you're already comfortable behind the decks, the focus can move towards improving your technique, building stronger sets and preparing for a real club performance.

The aim is to give every guest practical knowledge they can use beyond the retreat, regardless of their starting level.
