EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW
Known for her deep connection to Ibiza’s vibrant mu- sic scene and her impressive international presence, Tur’s 2024 has been a year of remarkable milestones. From sharing the stage with legends like Carl Cox to launching her label, LOWLITA Records, Tur’s journey is a testament to her passion and resilience.
PERFORMING WITH LEGENDS: THE CARL COX EFFECT
One of the most exciting aspects of Anna Tur’s 2024 tour has been her performances alongside Carl Cox at major festivals such as Panorama, Kappa Futur, and ULTRA Australia. For Tur, this is more than just an opportunity; it’s a dream come true.
“Carl Cox is my ultimate reference,” she says.
“His respect in the industry is unparalleled, and sharing the stage with him brings a huge responsibility.”
Preparing for these performances requires meticulous attention to detail. Tur spends hours listening to mu- sic, carefully selecting tracks that fit her sound while ensuring they align with the high standards expected when performing alongside a legend like Cox.
“There’s always a bit of nervous excitement,” Tur ad- mits.
“I strive to deliver a quality, coherent, and professional session, not just with Carl but in each of my perfor- mances.”
The influence of sharing a stage with Cox extends be- yond technical preparation. Tur acknowledges that having such a revered figure in the industry as a peer not only inspires but also adds a layer of emotional in- tensity to her performances.
“It’s a true honor, and I always have butterflies in my stomach when I share an event with him,” she adds.
From Brunch Electronik in Barcelona to Medusa Festi- val in Valencia, each festival presents its unique ener- gy and challenges. Tur’s approach to preparing for the- se diverse events involves several factors.
“First, I consider the tendency of the venue and its mu- sical environment,” she explains. “I aim to stay true to my sound while adapting to the specific atmosphere of the event.”
The scheduling of her set is another critical element. Tur emphasizes the importance of crafting a set that maintains a sense of harmony from start to finish, ta- king into account the time slot and the overall flow of the event. Additionally, the characteristics of the ve- nue—whether open-air or enclosed, sandy or paved— play a significant role in her preparation.
“Understanding the venue helps me tailor my perfor- mance to fit the environment.”
The lineup of artists performing before and after Tur is also a key consideration. By studying her fellow perfor- mers, she ensures that her set complements and tran- sitions smoothly into the overall event experience.
“It’s about creating a cohesive experience for the au- dience,” Tur says.
THE PYRAMID AMNESIA RESIDENCY
Anna Tur’s involvement with Pyramid Amnesia and its world tour marks another significant chapter in her career. Although not a full-time resident, her role with the Pyramid brand and their events at Amnesia Ibiza has been pivotal.
“I love the values of the brand and the concept of the party. The team behind it and the venue, Amnesia Ibiza, make it a special experience.”
Touring with Pyramid has also given Tur the chance to connect with her fellow DJs on a personal level.
“Traveling together, we get to share laughs and good times, which makes the experience even more enjoya- ble,” she reflects.
This camaraderie is a highlight for Tur, as it adds a per- sonal touch to her professional journey.
When asked about the most memorable performance of 2024, Tur highlights a few standout moments. One of the most significant was her set at the Ultra Mu- sic Festival in Melbourne, where Carl Cox joined her on stage.
“It was a truly unforgettable moment,” Anna recalls.
“Carl was on stage with me, and at one point, he took the mic and introduced me to his Australian audience. We danced and jumped around with big smiles on our faces.”
Another memorable performance took place at Brunch in Barcelona, where Tur played between Frankie Wah and Carl Cox.
“The energy from the audience was incredibly strong and special,” she says. “I felt very good, and the expe- rience remains close to my heart.”
THE IBIZA SEASON: A LOCAL’S PERS- PECTIVE
As a native of Ibiza, Anna Tur has a deep connection to the island’s music scene. Reflecting on the Ibiza season of 2024, she notes both the successes and challenges.
“We’ve had many successful seasons with sold-out events all over the island. However, this year, there’s a significant housing problem for seasonal workers and those looking for long-term rentals. It’s becoming a se- rious social issue.”
Tur highlights the disparity between the island’s luxury image and the reality faced by many workers.
“We have settlements of caravans and ‘shacks’ in va- rious areas of the island. It’s an issue that needs to be addressed urgently for the sake of dignity and security.”
Despite these challenges, Tur remains optimistic about Ibiza’s role in the global electronic music scene. She mentions the opening of the new club UNVRS, which is expected to bring fresh energy to the island.
“Ibiza is a place with a lot to offer,” she says. “I hope this new development doesn’t overshadow the classic clubs that have always been part of our essence.”
