One of the unsung heroes of underground music on the island of #ibiza and far beyond, DJ, producer and label owner
@alexkentuckyibiza tragically left us on August 18th 2025, after a short illness ❤️
Born in the Canary islands south of Spain, Alex, or Juan Galvan Reyes to his family, found his spiritual home on the #Balearic island of Ibiza, where he became a beloved fixture on the radio and at countless bars, clubs, terraces and beaches.
Playing brand new unheard-of artists alongside classics and edits, Alex Kentucky proved to bedroom producers all over the world that their music WAS, in fact, Balearic — by playing it all over the island, from his years of shows on the local radio stations playing in the taxis picking tourists up from the airport, to his DJ sets and playlists on the beach terraces they recovered on, drinking one last glass before their flight home.
