Watch in awe. Then see him above.

Tony Pike, icon of hedonism gives us a tour of his legendary Ibiza hotel.

With the recent release of his biography "Mr Pikes: The Story Behind the Ibiza Legend", we had the chance to meet the Balearic icon as he gives us a tour of his hotel off-season.

While we're talking hedonism.. i've been buying this chilli sauce for the last 12months from Hacienda DJ turned sauce magnate, Elliot Eastwick



..he bottled his 10yr old sauce recipe as a lockdown project, stirring it up in his kitchen after the DJ work dried up


..It's good stuff, more of a lip-tingler than a space coyote but it makes a change to actually taste the fresh ingredients as opposed to the toxic biohazard nonsense which only taste of chemical burns.

Local film makers Eve & Richard Wood (Sheffield Vision) are my next door neighbours, some of her docs re the birth of electro-pop are worth seeking out, Made in Sheffield was up on youtube in it's entirety untill recently but there's only a short preview up at the mo.
