His weekly night, ‘Judgement Sundays’, every Sunday @ Eden Discoteca, is one of the island’s busiest and most famous. In 2009, Judgement Sundays celebrated ten years at the top of its game - no mean feat for a club night in Ibiza. The subsequent years have cemented “Judgement's" reputation as a must-see event for the 16 weeks of each summer season. Jules plays at each event alongside the true aristocracy of dance, including the likes of (in 2011) Ferry Corsten, Sander Van Doorn, Eddie Halliwell and Cosmic Gate.
