Roberto Surace‘s‘JOYS’ makes the Bbc Radio 1 A-List!
Defected Media team said:”With every Ibiza season comes a record that is the track of the summer. This year, Roberto Surace’s ‘Joys’ was that track, championed by Ibiza heavyweights like Marco Carola, waFF, Andrea Oliva and Joseph Capriati to name a few. But the enduring love for this White Isle anthem continues to shine, as it exceeds expectations by entering the BBC Radio 1 A-List, an incredible achievement for a record with its roots firmly in club culture.
‘Joys’ has been a favorite of the Radio 1 dance specialists for some time, earning the coveted spot of Annie Mac’s Hottest Record In The World, Danny Howard’s Friday Fire and Pete Tong’s Essential New Tune, the track went on to be #1 in the station’s Dance Chart, while totting up 130+ BBC R1 plays. Meanwhile in Ibiza the record was still on heavy rotation, as it topped the Ibiza Shazam Dance chart for eleven weeks of the season, while peaking at #9 in the UK Shazam Chart. Remixes followed from Purple Disco Machine and Todd Terry, with more still to come from major league artists. ‘Joys’ was also honored at the DJ Awards in Ibiza this summer, winning the Track Of The Season award.
“This summer in Ibiza was a fantastic season, I received a lot of support from the island and I’m happy because I’ve been visiting Ibiza for years and it’s an island that gave me so much in my musical career.”
