British electronic-music producer John Monkman has reported a major burglary at his home near Santa Eulalia, claiming that thieves stole almost €10,000 in equipment. The incident, seen as a major Ibiza DJ Equipment Theft, alarmed the creative community and triggered an island-wide alert.

High-Value Studio Gear Taken

Monkman shared a detailed list of missing items, revealing the scale of the theft. The stolen items include laptops, studio headphones, DJ controllers, audio interfaces, a drum machine, an audio recorder and even a coffee machine.

Based on market prices, the total value of these items pushes the Ibiza DJ Equipment Theft close to €10,000. The financial loss hurts, but losing the creative material stored on the laptops may impact the producer even more.

A Key Figure In Ibiza’s Music Scene

Monkman has deep ties to the island. Known for releases on labels such as Ellum, Crosstown Rebels and Anjunadeep, he has performed at some of Ibiza’s most respected venues, including Las Dalias, Akasha and Ushuaïa. His live sets rely heavily on the very equipment that has now been taken, making the Ibiza DJ Equipment Theft especially disruptive.

Community Alert And Call For Information

He urged residents to stay alert, watch marketplace listings and report any leads, offering a reward for his stolen gear. He encouraged island residents to report anything unusual, emphasising that many of the stolen items could surface in second-hand stores or online.

A Wider Issue On The Island

Ibiza has seen a rise in burglaries targeting homes, parked vehicles and properties in semi-rural areas. Local authorities have launched operations against organised groups, but the concerns persist. Monkman’s case has once again highlighted the vulnerability of artists whose livelihoods depend on expensive and specialised tools.
