A mainstay on the Ibiza and international circuits for well over a decade, Ulysses’ driving brand of main room house continues to keep bodies moving. As the European summer draws near, however, he’s leaving his base and heading down under for a whirlwind tour.
“The last time that I was in Australia I had an absolute ball,” he explains. “The crowd was really up for it and really took to my sound [so] I am really looking forward to Australia and coming to Vanity club and hope I get the same result.”

As for the impending European summer, Ulysses will again take to Space’s famed terrace as well as appearing at a number of Ibiza’s most revered clubs and events.
“Things are shaping up fine for the summer. I will be continuing my Space residency for We Love, Mondays Calling [and] also the back room for Carl Cox at Pukka Up. I will be doing Judgment Sundays back room also as well as some private villa parties and some events at Bora Bora Beach Club.”

With such a packed Ibiza and European touring schedule, it’s a wonder Ulysses has time to commit to the studio, yet he reveals several original productions and collaborations are nearing release.
“I have been working with Prok & Fitch on a project called the Union Jackers. The track is called ‘Scream’ [and] I have also been working with a DJ from London called DJ Lewi on track called ‘Q Mas’ that will be released on Suka Records in the summer.”

As EDM approaches the cusp of commercial acceptance in many regions – with the likes of Lady Gaga and Black Eyed Peas (ahem) jumping on the house and electro bandwagon – Ulysses predicts big things for the year ahead.
“For us in Europe we have been championing these sounds for a while, just as you guys have in Australia with great producers like Chris Lake and many others. It is up-tempo and is really groovy and that is what I am into at the moment.”
