Ibiza n trance...

Im wondering... ive never had the pleasure of been to Ibiza... but is it all that? or did it used to be allll that in the old days???

What about now.. would you go and if not why not?

Is Ibiza still all trance or has it evolved into other genres? or does it have its own special genre?

Ibiza is all house music.. and that's what it has always been, more now, hehehehe. THe fact is that TRANCE held the big nights @ Ibiza, in the largest venues with all the trance DJ's. BUt if you go to Ibiza not going to one of those nights you will find more house, and if you go to Aya Napa you will find the garage sound. Now is all a mix of sounds the prevail. But in order to find the trance sound, I guess you gotta go during the summer, where the big nights are on.

Fuk Ibiza, wanna come down to ayia napa for a drink?

Been to both Ayia Napa and Ibiza........Ibiza by far is my choice for a drink

I'd love to go to Ibiza. It's huge in Europe, as a big holiday spot I know. When I was in England...everything related to clubbing seamed to have something to do with Ibiza...I mean all the magazines had the word Ibiza splashed all over the cover..Ministry's guide to Ibiza, Ibiza this, Ibiza that...So I suspect (to some people) Ibiza represents the crass commercialization of clubbing, which might turn them off. Many of the biggest trance djs have (or had) residencies in Ibiza so I'm sure there's no shortage of trance on the Island..

*dreams of partying on the beach during sunset to a kick ass PVD set*

I hate winter

LiquidX is right, during the summer the big nights at the big clubs are mostly trance. However, there are big house nights, too, like Ministry@Pacha, and also an awesome techno night with Cocoon@Amnesia on Mondays *drool*

im goin to ibiza straight after my last exam and i cant wait!

I went to Ibiza last summer and to this day, I can't remember why I left. If you go, you may just want to stay. It is really all that and a bag of chips. Well worth every penny. Nothing like it in the world. As the others have said of Trance on the island is true. The big club nights with the big name djs are Trance, but for the most part, house music rules over there. But the clubs and the atmosphere are so incredible over there that you don't always need to hear trance, although it woulda been nice. Sunsets at Mambos, drinks at Bar M, clubbing at pacha all night, and space all day. Y the hell did I leave??!?!!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!!??!?

wouldn't go yet.having the likes of pvd,tiesto,ferry,armin etc reaaaaally rarely over here has made me caring more about the dj than the music...so i guess i'm not ready for a huge event or ibiza yet

well my exams are over in june 29th, then ibiza 2 weeks after straight away! im sure the big djs will be out by then

yes they will. Most the club begin to open mid to late june. By the end of june, everything is open and the big nites are usually in full swing. Plus, it shouldn't be as crowded in early July. I went late july last year and it wasn't bad at all. Nothing like how crowded people said it would be. Definitely go for 2 weeks. You'll need it just to see and do a lot. I only had 1 week and it wasn't nearly enough. I recommend staying at Blau Park in San Antoni. Definitely a nice place. You will have an incredible time.

ibiza is fuckin expensive 23 euros for a vodka reb bull

sounds great!

Id love to go to ibiza and experience a good trance night there. I dont think it would have been as good as it used to be, Listening to cafe del mar while watching the sun rise at 5am (one of my mates dreams is to experience this) but it would be a good experience. Maybe sometime next year

I don't get it. If you care more about the DJs then Ibiza is you rplace. The density of top DJs there is mind boggling! And by the same token, the music is of course incredible, too

then I'll see you there, we'll probably be there 1st week of July.

True, big DJs will be there, were last year. We did 10 days then, OMFG it was insane (see my Ibiza article)

Depends on which clubs you wanna go. I'd actually stay away from San Antonio unless you mostly go to Eden and Es Paradis (which you don't want to, really). Too far out. Also, all those drunken Brits.... (no offence to UK-TA's here )

I prefer Playa den Bossa, a hotel in walking distance to Space since I end up there almost every day (after a night out at some other club) The complaints you sometimes hear abouit the noise from the nearby airport are way exaggerated. I hardly noticed it.

haha! cant wait

i was there for a week last summer, and it was the best summer of my life. just being able to ignore all of you priorities and resposabilities, get smashed and take the party bus home only to go sleep on the beach for an hour or so...

and the clubs (aside from the water thing) were amazing, very well kept, the DJs were all amazing, playing their best stuff it seemed.

i do agree it was blown up quite a bit for a while and things seemed to be up in the air with clubs and dates and talent, but that was all figured out before the clubs opened...

GO, HAVE FUN...

Hey guys..

I went there this summer to tape my documentary.

These are a few things you should know.

DO NOT STAY IN SAN ANTONIO... that is the worst place to stay, to many 18 year old hooligans who want to cause fights stay there. Its not safe either.

Also.. be prepared to pay 40-50 euros to get into the big clubs or big nights...

Please stock up on bottled water as there are no fresh water taps anywhere on the island.. its all saltwater. Make sure you dont get too thirsty becuase you will shell out 8-9 euros for a bottle of water.... I know.. thats crazy

Definately visit Manumission on Mondays.. as the whole islands is basically clubbing there... 15,000 people in a club the size of a mall... absolutely crazy

The best place to stay is JET APARTAMENTOS.... in PLaya den bossa... its right on the beach... Bora bora is 1 minute walking distance... and its near Space too. The airplanes do fly over.. but its cool to see how low they fly over the hotel (as fucked as that may sound)

Be prepared to pay for a taxi whenever you want to go anywhere.... unless you have a rented car or know someone ther with one.

Also get a Ministry ibiza guide on the Island (its free) so you know what or who is playing at which club during your stay....its like a clubbing/dj guide to your stay.

When you are there.,... you will definately make lots of friends... and everyone there always has connections to the clubs

When i was there ... i interviewed Armin van Buuren and he said there is more than just clubbing on the island... what people dont know is how beautiful the place actually is. He recommended people renting a car and driving around the island.. and seeing the landscape.
Thats all i can think of now.

Hope its helped.

Oh... and the Island predominantly plays house..... but if you want trance.. you just have to look at the dj schedules and find the ones that play trance.

This year... Amnesia was pure trance (Tiesto and PVD inone night) and also the Godskitchen Parties in Eden.

I'd have to agree with everything you said. Except I don't understand why everyone is always so down on San Antoni. I thought it was a nice little tourist town. Sure all the Brits stay there, but most everyone I met was really cool. Never saw any fights and actually felt safe everywhere I went.

Also staying in San Antoni allowed me to watch the sunset at mambo's every night! If I'dve stayed on the south of the island then I'd have to take a taxi everywhere. I know there is a lot to do in Ibiza town, but I don't think I understand why everyone thinks space is such a great club. I went once and wasn't really impressed. It reminded me too much of clubs in the US. Maybe perhaps because the famous terrace wasn't open while I was there? I wish I had gotten to see it. I was there for the carryover party after Ministry of Sound on Friday @ Pacha. Anyone got any ideas?

San Antonio is very nice.. architechturally...but the people there are not nice... im telling you...

While i was at Eden (in San Antonio) taping Mauro Picotto... A bunch of girls began to fight behind me... physically going crazy...and they were 18

Think about how bad it is with guys... being all drunk and stuff.

My friends been to Ibiza 6 times.... and she is disgusted by San antonio

Only good thing In San An is the Sunset at Cafe Del Mar...

I really liked space... although everyone there was CRAAAAAAAAAAACK.. it was cool seeing Sasha and Nick Warren spin one after the other... and the cool thing was... i didnt even know they were there that night... until i heard that dark progressive trance that Sasha spun.. that was the one of the joys of my trip.... everywhere you went.... there was some amazing dj there going crazy...

What would you have done if you went to a club not even expecting anyone big .. then you see Sasha on the Screen?!

It was pure bliss
