Synth pioneer Jean Michel Jarre will give the keynote interview at the International Music Summit in Ibiza this year.

Jarre’s appearance follows a trend of influential musicians from the early years of electronic music appearing at IMS - disco hero Giorgio Moroder spoke to delegates in 2012.

Meanwhile founding Chic member Nile Rodgers - who broke the news that he was working with Daft Punk at last year’s IMS, and is the global ambassador for the Association for Electronic Music (AFEM) - will return to the event in 2013.

Each day of IMS 2013, which takes place between May 22-24 at the Gran Hotel in Ibiza, will culminate in one-off shows with sets from Fatboy Slim, BBC Radio 1 DJ Pete Tong, Sven Vath, Maya Jane Coles and DJ Driis (Idris Elba).

Presentations will include a turn from DJ Yoda, who will be giving a technology demo.

Industry speakers at IMS 2013 will include Tag Strategic’s Ted Cohen, The Audience’s Oliver Luckett, Ibiza Rocks’ Shane Murray and Shazam’s Stephen Titmus.

Pete Tong will host the Summit, while other keynote interviewees will include Paul Van Dyk, Sven Vath, and Idris Elba.

Topics up for discussion at the event will include ‘The Changing Face of Ibiza’, ‘Is The American Style Of Doing Business Killing the Heart of Dance Music?’ and a special market focus on Germany.

IMS partner Ben Turner said: “A lot of work has gone into landing Jean Michel Jarre, but we are hugely excited to have his attendance. I interviewed him in 1993 for the Melody Maker when electronic DJs like Slam had remixed his work.

“He is a true pioneer and his understanding of today's scene is quite surprising. His understanding of the challenges facing the business is second to none, and his vision for change is also impressive and inspiring."
Turner added: “Nile set IMS alight last year but it felt like he didn't get to finish his story.

“So welcome back – the man was an inspiration and so much has come from his involvement in IMS 2012.

“He can come back every single year as far as IMS is concerned."

Thanks for the news!

"I was excited to discover the IMS event in Ibiza and particularly the values it holds for a genre of music which I've been involved in from the early beginnings. I continue to push the genre forward in many ways, and I see my Keynote Interview at IMS as a way to continue to communicate my passions to a wider and younger audience - who appear to be today's trailblazers for this genre, all united in one location." - Jean Michel Jarre

While the IMS focuses on shaping the future of electronic music, the light also shines heavily on those that have helped pave the way… This year, the IMS is thrilled to announce that Jean Michel Jarre, one of the earliest pioneers of synthesised music, will be giving a keynote interview where he will discuss his career, past, present and future. He says:

"I was excited to discover the IMS event in Ibiza and particularly the values it holds for a genre of music which I've been involved in from the early beginnings. I continue to push the genre forward in many ways, and I see my Keynote Interview at IMS as a way to continue to communicate my passions to a wider and younger audience - who appear to be today's trailblazers for this genre, all united in one location. "

Jarre, who laid the foundations of what eventually became dance music, having also established hImself as the true master of the open-air extravaganza with incredible light shows at Tiananmen Square, the Pyramids as backdrops and the infamous Destination Docklands shows, has been collaborating with some of the hottest contemporary names in modern electronica, including his recent work on Parisian imprint InFiné.

IMS partner Ben Turner states: "A lot of work has gone into landing Jean Michel Jarre. But we are hugely excited to have his attendance. I interviewed him in 1993 for the Melody Maker when electronic DJs like Slam had remixed his work. So it’s been amazing talking to him again about speaking at IMS. He is a true pioneer and his understanding of today's scene is quite surprising. His understanding of the challenges facing the business is second to none, and his vision for change is also impressive and inspiring."

This proves to be very interesting event.
Giorgio Moroder gave a very good interview about his carrer last year, I am kinda very excited on JMJ.

[jeanbatman]

This is a kind of recognition from the dance music scene to Jean Michel.
You must remember Moroder "stole" or "borrowed" all of Oxygène 5 melodies' to create the disco anthem "I feel love".

International Music Summit - LOS ANGELES - USA

The Pete Tong-run International Music Summit, traditionally held in Ibiza, has extended its program to North America with the debut series in Los Angeles set for Wednesday, April 17th at the W Hotel. The hotel, located in the heart of Hollywood and a central figure in Los Angeles’ dance music scene, will play host to some of the biggest names in dance music and beyond. The festivities include an array of panel discussions regarding the state of dance music and live performances by esteemed acts like Foxes (on Tuesday) and Soul Clap (Wednesday).

Some of the many renowned names gathering in between Coachella weekends for the “TED of music conferences” include Diplo, Nile Rodgers, Skrillex, Russell Simmons, and Jean Michel Jarre. Additionally, key figures at companies like Pioneer (an event sponsor), Beatport, SFX Entertainment, and SONY will also feature on the panels. One of the more exciting sessions on tap promises to be Diplo and Instagram Co-Founder Kevin Systrom’s ‘In Conversation,’ which should be a lively discussion focusing on Diplo’s mastery of social media and how Apps like Instagram have changed the EDM game.

Here are the other panel pairings:

Lady Gaga’s manager Troy Carter and Swedish House Mafia Manager, Amy Thomson
Russell Simmons with Sony’s President of Electronic Music, Patrick Moxey
Skrillex and The Summit Series founder Jeff Rosenthal
Pete Tong and Shelly Finkel from SFX Entertainment
Digital pioneer Jaron Lanier with Beatport CEO Matthew Adell
The coup de gras is the official poolside after party at Drais hosted by IMS & The Windish Agency with a yet-to-be-revealed lineup. Judging by the speakers and industry players on hand, it will certainly not disappoint.

You can purchase your Delegate Badge right here and get the full scoop over at IMS’ official website. The event promises to be a who’s who in the music industry

Probably there is no update yet.

Maybe misunderstanding between the two summits...
