Hey r/House
I was reading Time To House magazine and just discovered Spencer Kincy aka Gemini. His music is incredible and none commercial.
How did he disappear like that? Does anyone know what actually happened to him?

Hey r/ibiza,
Just saw this post going around on Instagram via time to house magazine and wanted to bring the discussion over here.
French house veteran Bob Sinclar openly stated on a recent livestream that he is refusing to play Ibiza this year.
According to him, the island has completely lost its identity to corporate greed and phone-lit bottle service.
Here are the main takeaways from his statement:
Venues are no longer built for real clubbers who want to dance, but around VIP tables and spectators holding their phones up.
Rising DJ fees are forcing clubs to jack up entry prices and rely heavily on high-end bottle service just to make their nights profitable.
He says saving Ibiza would require a massive shift: music-first events, smaller rooms, and cheaper entry tickets to bring back the original community that built the island's reputation.
For someone of his stature, who has been a staple of the scene and played the island for decades, to openly boycott it and call out the commercial model is a pretty big statement.
I wanted to ask the community:
For those of you who have been to Ibiza recently, either this season or last year, what is your take? Is the VIP and influencer culture actually ruining the vibe on the ground, or is this just a classic case of old school nostalgia?
Where are the real music-first vibes happening right now if Ibiza is priced out?
