Back to Mixmasters’ House retreat for another week full of music after the amazing experience of the last year. Great things happened between September 28th and October 3rd. Learned a lot thanks to the advices and feedback on my music from technical coaches like the legend Kevin Saunderson and fully-talented producers Dantiez Saunderson and Hurley Sanders … we had a formative studio session with the no-presentation-needed Barbara Tucker and the amazing soulful vocalist Lisa , also had a crazy 1 to 1 lesson with Barbara herself about songwriting, a challenge I never had before. The super-artist Kyozo gave us a stunning lesson on how to treat vocals from a technical point of view when it’s up to mixing vocals themselves, always a difficult stage to be done properly. Hurley challenged us students to create a remix in 1 hour to learn how to work as fast as possible on a track…been an exciting test! My 2nd round on the Magic Island has been an incredible pearl I’ll always bring with me, full of great music and great people among fellow students, coaches ,Mixmasters’ managers and the staff of Safragell (the beautiful structure that hosted us). Ibiza definitely did it again.

Brian Kidd - At the end of last year I won a music competition in Ibiza with Mixmasters & Barbara Tucker and I’ve just officially signed a contract with NYC based record label BStar music group for my remix of Barbara’s next track. Eternal love to Mixmasters Ibiza one of the best music industry teams in the world.

A full 5 stars from me for Mixmasters. Danny has built something truly remarkable for electronic musicians of all standards. Expert knowledge, passed on by people who have been there and done it. Tuition and advice without judging those just starting out. Solid, practical advice that has supported me from a very low starting point to a place where I am producing finished tracks regularly and performing them live. Mixmasters is a fantastic resource and have helped me enormously.

I hesitated for a long time before posting this review — the music industry is small, and I know how quickly word travels. But I also believe that sharing honest experiences like this is how we protect one another.
Long story short: I had my interview, felt really excited, and sent over my payment with full confidence.
Then, months later, I received a message saying the dates I had signed up for were cancelled and asking if I could switch. I had already planned an entire trip around that week — and keep in mind, those were the dates they had suggested.
What followed was six weeks of scattered communication. I’d go days without a reply, then get a breadcrumb like, “Maybe we can cover some flights — but wait…” followed by silence again. Then more vague questions like, “Are you sure you can’t come?” It was confusing, stressful, and draining.
After over a month of back-and-forth with zero clarity — and a lot of insomnia, stress, and frustration — I finally asked for my money back. That’s when they pulled out the “terms and conditions” clause saying they were allowed to do this.
Well, EU laws don’t agree.
Let me make two things very clear:
I do not hold any of the coaches or artists affiliated with this company responsible.
This review is just a summary. It doesn’t fully capture:
• Days of complete silence
• Weeks of unanswered emails
• A promise of a refund, followed by ghosting
• The moment I texted the owner — only to find they had blocked me on WhatsApp
I emailed three different addresses. Still, nothing.
Eventually, I contacted Visa and started the refund process. Two weeks later, I received a cold email from the company saying they’d be taking another 30 days to process the refund. At this point, I had been dealing with this since January, and all I wanted was to move on.
30 days came and went — and still, nothing.
Thankfully, I paid with a credit card. Visa had my back and refunded me — minus interest, and minus a whole lot of peace of mind and beauty sleep.
⚠️ Warning: I looked for bad reviews before signing up and found nothing. I don’t believe that for a second.
In the end, I’m actually grateful the dates didn’t work out.
If you're serious about music: this ain’t it.
Stay sharp. Protect your energy. 🎧

not what I was expecting for an experience in Ibiza...
I’ll start with the positives. The coaches were fantastic—humble, experienced, and genuinely passionate. The food was excellent, and the unlimited drinks were a nice touch. The villa itself was beautiful. Although I was promised a private room with an ensuite, I ended up sharing a bathroom. Not a dealbreaker, but worth mentioning.
Now for the downsides:
The experience felt overcrowded and not what was promised. There were almost 20 participants and only 4 coaches, which made the sessions feel less personal and more like surface-level group workshops. During my initial call (with Adam) I was told to expect 8-10 participants, so this was a major letdown.
If you're hoping for a professional studio setup—this isn’t it, aside from one day spent at Metrica Studio. But with 20 people in the group, no one really got meaningful time there and was very rushed. Most of the production happened on laptops with headphones at tables outside. Despite being in Ibiza, we couldn’t play music at night due to quiet hours starting at 10 PM—because of newborns nearby. That kind of restriction really kills the creative vibe.
A promised gig at Café Del Mar (mentioned during my interview with Adam) never happened, which was a big disappointment. For an experience that cost over $8,000 USD (not including flights), it also felt odd to pay out of pocket for the airport transfer. On top of that, we were hit with a surprise €250 safety deposit just a week before the trip—something never mentioned beforehand. It took months (YES MONTHS) to get the refund back, and there was even an attempt to convince us to use that deposit toward their online accelerated course. Not cool.
Bottom line:
There were definitely great moments and some lovely people, but the overall experience didn’t live up to the expectations—especially at this price point. If you're an advanced producer or looking for something more intimate, structured, or professionally equipped, this probably isn’t the right fit.

Mixmasters Ibiza was absolutely incredible. The energy, the people, the music, and even the food... everything exceeded my expectations. I met so many inspiring creatives and formed real connections that I’ll never forget.
The coaches were amazing—knowledgeable, down-to-earth, and truly passionate about helping us grow. I left feeling more confident in my music and fired up for what’s next. Not only that I met genuine friends for life, which is priceless!
Grateful for the experience. 10/10.

Divine intervention lead me to this retreat and I was completely out of my depth and comfort zone. However at the end of the week not only had I a produced a track, I had an abundance of wonderful memories and friends for life! I cannot recommend this retreat enough. The coaches were amazing, the setting and food exquisite and this once in a lifetime experience, surrounded by such creative and talented people was the perfect first step into music production. Watching my musical hero Kevin Saunderson and his musically gifted and technically brilliant son Dantiez blow the roof off at Eden was the icing on the cake!

While EDM Producers are mostly independent, the “It takes a village” adage comes to mind. As a Writer I’ve actually been in music 30+ years. Have the idea and knowledge base for production, but not the engineering skill to work a DAW; this is where Mix-Masters can be a Knight in blinding armor: have a beginner’s retreat where participants learn the basics of Ableton or other DAW’s hands on, then guided into creating Electronic/House Music for a career boost (it’s like learning cursive without knowing your ABC’s). Networking is awesome, and the overall experience itself is commendable whereas you do want to come back.. I also feel there could be expansion; not just with labels, but publishing, licensing, and even branding.
Attending the Mixmasters retreat was everything I needed. The environment was incredibly inspiring—surrounded by passionate artists and mentors who genuinely want to see you grow and create great music. The coaches were hands-on, practical, and shared insights that pushed my music production skills to a whole new level. I walked away not only with new techniques but also with a renewed sense of purpose and direction in my sound. Overall, it was an amazing experience, and I’d highly recommend it to anyone serious about elevating their craft.

Incredible week with absolute legends in the house music industry completely immersed in music at an inspiring and unforgettable villa in Ibiza. Only Mixmasters put something like this together, and the experience did not disappoint. Chrissy, Adam, and team were great!

Just back from my second retreat with Mixmasters. Wonderful experience. A week working with 4 of the most most legendary house and techno producers. Inspirational week.

Reply from Mixmasters
I like the overall idea and love the style and vibe at the retreats. Retreat supervisors do a fantastic job and chances are high that you are lucky to be in a good fellowship with really awesome and great people from over the world. Location is beautiful. Coaches are really grateful and even for advanced producers you will get your learnings the way you need and want them. Food can be definitely improved, but that’s also taste :) …If mixmasters would act according to everything they mention on their advertisement it would be a 5* review. Like this a good and honest 4* and I still love the crew.

Mixmasters Review
Most amazing week at the mixmaster villa in ibiza. It’s now my third time and as usual the experience was amazing and topped previous experiences. This this time what really got me was the hosts attention to my personal situation, really making sure I was getting everything I could from my third visit. And as usual, I was able to be much more productive than I am on my own, this I accredit to 2 things. The vibe created by the retreat and the instant help from the coaches which is tailored and accurate every time. What’s promised is to finish one track. The last two times I was able to pretty much finish 3 tracks. So it’s become a staple in my calendar - all I have to figure out is getting there from Australia each time.

From Start to Finish, I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The Casa was perfect, beautiful and super relaxing physically and creatively. The management Team.. Chrissy, Adam, and staff did an amazing job informing us and helping to keep us on track. The coaches, what can I say… Steve Bug, Denney and Huxley, Jamie Rial(Audiojack) what an amazing, hands on guide, coach, support and champion you all are and for that I greatly appreciate you. And The Shear Talent, and Crazy Good Energy from the group was definitely a Confirmation.
I’ll see you all at next years retreat. That’s how great this program is. Thank you.

Just did my 5th retreat in 12 month 🔥
And no, I did not win at a lottery 😂 but I like to pay for shortcuts to reach my goals fast, and since my first retreat last year it was such a huge improvement for my producing skills, I wouldn’t never achieve the same level by myself and trying to figure out how to alone.
These retreats are BRILLIANT! And I love working with great and talented people and growing together, with this view and atmosphere it’s not hard to be creative 😁👌 I am keeping coming back, because I am so productive in this time and environment and with instant feedback of the coaches, it’s great! Will be back for another one for sure xx 💜

You get to work on your music with amazing producers all week long and learn way more than you would in months. Highly recommend for anyone who’s passionate about music and wants to take their production skills to the next level! Also, everyone is always so kind and supportive. Thank you to the Mixmasters team for everything!
