When asked about the origins of 11:11, the name for the much-ballyhooed collaboration between Sean P. Diddy Combs and Israeli DJ/producer Guy Gerber, the ordinarily loquacious entrepreneur was uncharacteristically reticent.

Some things are better left a mystery, he said, though his partner admitted the name comes from a date when two worlds collide and open a gate to another dimension.

The occasion was series of one-on-one conversations held in connection with the day long IMS Engage at the W Hotel in Hollywood, crawling with EDM types for the event, a spin-off of the Ibiza International Music Summit. Other pairings included David Lynch and Moby, moderator Pete Tong and Giorgio Moroder, Steve Aoki and YouTube founder Chad Hurley and Junkie XL and Hans Zimmer

Explaining the unlikely partnership between them, the scholarly, bearded Gerber described being summoned to New York to make music together by Diddy. He played me a track from my first album for inspiration, laughs the 27-year-old founder of pioneering record labels Supplement Facts and Rumours. And I gave him a big hug.

Diddy traced his own fascination with this kind of music to a trip to Ibizas famed DC10 Club, his own collaborations with Nellee Hooper and Felix da Housecat, and dancing on the dirt floors of to DJ Junior Vasquez at N.Y.C. clubs like the Sound Factory and Paradise Garage.

He went on to contrast his next level musical approach to the experience of going to his grandmothers Baptist church, where you dont know whats going to happen (You could get visited by the Holy Ghost, he joked) to the regimentation of the Catholic Church where he was brought up.

Its all about the spiritual aspect of this music, he says. Playing from the heart and experiencing true emotions.

I am always looking for DJ/producers without a set format, who arent afraid to clear the dance floor, who are fearless. I thought it would be cool to work with Guy.

I want to push peoples buttons, rather than make them love me, adds Gerber. I try to give the listener respect. Working with P. Diddy, he understood my music better than I did.

Diddy claims he has no commercial hopes for the album, which should be out for July, and even intends to give it away.

It is the trend that is encouraging New York yogis to bare it all, literally, and now it is making its way to Europe - in the form of a naked yoga retreat.

The unusual concept of stripping off to indulge in some downward dog has taken the Big Apple by storm, with classes at the Bold & Naked studio in Manhattan selling out.

Now luxury travel company Formentera Yoga has experienced similar success with its first all-naked holidays on the Balearic island of Ibiza.

Slice of paradise: The retreat, in Ibiza, follows the success of naked yoga practice in both New York and London

The retreat is open to both men and women and is on sale from 921. It will combine mixed yoga classes for the de-robed at a luxury finca (country house) set in 20 acres of fragrant pine forests on the north of the island overlooking the sea. The retreat has its own swimming pool and even a helipad for VIP guests.

Children enjoy the music and entertainment at the Big Fish Little Fish 2-4 Hour Party People event in Brixton, South London. The event allows children to experience a child-friendly nightclub experience with live DJ sets, chill-out areas and club-style lighting. AFP pic, April 18, 2014.The bass is pumping, the lights are low and the dance floor of the club is heaving. It's the weekend and the young man is enjoying himself until someone steals his balloon.

Dressed in a Spiderman outfit, the four-year-old boy runs to his dad by the bar to complain, before receiving a glow-stick as consolation.

Such are the highs and lows of family raving, a new craze fuelled by London's ex-clubbers who still want to go dancing but now have kids in tow.

"What a genius idea beer, raving, children. What more could you want?" said Paul Crawley, 34, swaying slowly on the dance floor carrying his baby daughter Camille in a sling.

"The worst thing is I was invited out last night, but I said no, I've got to stay sober for this party."

This dingy bar in south London is normally the venue for all-night raves, but for two and a half hours on a Saturday afternoon, it is transformed into a playgroup with a difference.

In the chill out area, mums breastfeed on low leather sofas to a soundtrack of soft rock, while older children paint and draw at a well-equipped craft table under moving projected images.

The bar is well stocked and next door, professional DJs play chilled house music, funk and drum'n'bass at a surprisingly loud volume, although organisers insist it is safe for babies' ears.

The undisputed king of the dance floor is Caelan, a fleet-footed five-year-old wearing impeccable white trainers.
