Synth pioneer Jean Michel Jarre will give the keynote interview at the International Music Summit in Ibiza this year.
Jarre’s appearance follows a trend of influential musicians from the early years of electronic music appearing at IMS - disco hero Giorgio Moroder spoke to delegates in 2012.
Meanwhile founding Chic member Nile Rodgers - who broke the news that he was working with Daft Punk at last year’s IMS, and is the global ambassador for the Association for Electronic Music (AFEM) - will return to the event in 2013.
Each day of IMS 2013, which takes place between May 22-24 at the Gran Hotel in Ibiza, will culminate in one-off shows with sets from Fatboy Slim, BBC Radio 1 DJ Pete Tong, Sven Vath, Maya Jane Coles and DJ Driis (Idris Elba).
Presentations will include a turn from DJ Yoda, who will be giving a technology demo.
Industry speakers at IMS 2013 will include Tag Strategic’s Ted Cohen, The Audience’s Oliver Luckett, Ibiza Rocks’ Shane Murray and Shazam’s Stephen Titmus.
Pete Tong will host the Summit, while other keynote interviewees will include Paul Van Dyk, Sven Vath, and Idris Elba.
Topics up for discussion at the event will include ‘The Changing Face of Ibiza’, ‘Is The American Style Of Doing Business Killing the Heart of Dance Music?’ and a special market focus on Germany.
IMS partner Ben Turner said: “A lot of work has gone into landing Jean Michel Jarre, but we are hugely excited to have his attendance. I interviewed him in 1993 for the Melody Maker when electronic DJs like Slam had remixed his work.
“He is a true pioneer and his understanding of today's scene is quite surprising. His understanding of the challenges facing the business is second to none, and his vision for change is also impressive and inspiring."
Turner added: “Nile set IMS alight last year but it felt like he didn't get to finish his story.
“So welcome back – the man was an inspiration and so much has come from his involvement in IMS 2012.
“He can come back every single year as far as IMS is concerned."

"Nile set IMS alight last year but it felt like he didn't get to
finish his story. So welcome back – the main was an inspiration and so
much has come from his involvement in IMS last year. He
can come back every single year as far as IMS is concerned." - Ben Turner, IMS Director
"I was excited to discover the IMS event in Ibiza and particularly
the values it holds for a genre of music which I've been involved in
from the early beginnings. I continue to push the genre
forward in many ways, and I see my Keynote Interview at IMS as a way
to continue to communicate my passions to a wider and younger audience -
who appear to be today's trailblazers for this genre,
all united in one location." - Jean Michel Jarre
"A lot of work has gone into landing Jean Michel Jarre. But we are
hugely excited to have his attendance. I interviewed him in 1993 for the
Melody Maker when electronic DJs like Slam had
remixed his work. So it’s been amazing talking to him again about
speaking at IMS. He is a true pioneer and his understanding of today's
scene is quite surprising. His understanding of the
challenges facing the business is second to none, and his vision for
change is also impressive and inspiring." - Ben Turner
