After missing the actual Space Opening Party yet again this was always going to be a big one. My pal Dave Phillips was playing his usual set in the Discotec but the big news this week was that my best mate Andy Baxter was playing his first set for We Love; and he was doing it on the sunset terrace. We normally don’t make it into Space until after we shut the beeZwax shop (at 11pm) but this was no ordinary day so afternoon entry was a must. I got in about 15min into Andy’s set and the dancefloor was already packed even though the club had only been open for an hour. Unusually for the summer time we had a big gang – seems like everyone managed to skip work!

I pitched up to the right of the booth with my posse and we watched Andy absolutely smash it – literally the whole dancefloor was jumping for most of the time and it was not even half past six in the afternoon!

Jonathan Ulysses came on after Andy to a great reception as usual and soon after that I went for a wander in my massive sombrero.
I’d heard that one of my other mates was playing on the Premier Etage so I went upstairs for a butcher’s only to find out that it was someone else playing. That someone else turned out to be Mat Playford who I went to school with and hadn’t seen for years. After a quick catch up he told that me that he’d been both elated and deflated halfway through his set. If you’ve ever been on the Premier Etage you’ll know that it’s very chilled up there and the music is not exactly loud. Whilst Mat was up there playing quietly he heard the sunset terrace going right off downstairs – to one of his own remixes! He was pleased that it got such a good response but absolutely gutted that someone else (Andy Baxter) was the one that dropped it.
I think I headed straight to the discotec after that and that’s pretty much where I stayed – Dave Phillips, DJ Pierre, and Felix Da Housecat were all excellent and the atmosphere was awesome. Managed to squeeze in a bit of 2manyDJs near the end as well and all things considered, I reckon it was my best party in Space ever – which is no mean feat!

Ibiza 2008 – Hard to believe that we’re over two months in already!
It’s been a crazy start to the season even though everyone seems to think that Ibiza is dying again. I’ve been very busy since the start of the year so my spacial awareness hasn’t been great but the start of August was the first time when I looked around and said to myself “feck, it’s busy”.

My personal & work life has been a bit of a mess recently so the old blog has suffered somewhat. It’s time to pull my finger out now though and I reckon that speed is of the essence so I’m just going to ramble my way through my year in Ibiza – please feel free to criticise it if it’s too boring or too stuck in my own little bubble and I’ll try and make the effort to take a step back and start writing properly…
