Dennis Ferrer
“I make music for children.

The year 2018 marks the return of Dennis Ferrer and his legendary Sunday parties to Blue Marlin Ibiza. The name of the night, ‘Misfits Society’, suits Ferrer perfectly as he’s not big on trying to fit in. Guests include Ferrer’s label mates and artists he’s most inspired by at the moment. Like always, with Dennis Ferrer the best is yet to come, as he shows no signs of slowing down.
