On september the 4th, the hotel Es Vive will play host to the Aphrodisiacs / pushca pool party. Please have a read of the press release below, i especially like the rule “all men must be accompanied by at least one woman”, that rule alone would be enough reason for me to go!!

Two of the best clubbing brands in the world come together for a weekend of disco dancing in the sun on Saturday 4^th September. Expect a whole host of retro glamour and disco delights to keep you dancing all day and night…

After the events that took place in Germany over the weekend, Privilege have decided to cancel their love parade party which was scheduled for 14th August.

At the weekend, 19 people died in Germany after a crush took place, out of respect for the victims and their families the party in Ibiza has been cancelled.

I personally don’t think they could have done anything but cancel it, letting the night go ahead would have been in very poor taste and i would have been surprised if many people had gone anyway.

Good call by Privilege, im sure they will replace it with another quality night, after all, surly the Dj’s that were originally booked are available!!

On the 4th September 2010 Faithless will perform live in Privilege! If you travel back in time (search Youtube – ku Ibiza 1987) you will be able to see Freddie Mercury performing Barcelona in the open air of Ku. Now don’t get me wrong, im not comparing Faithless with Freddie Mercury but that night Freddie Mercury performed in KU is still remembered to this day.

With the amount of festivals that Faithless have done over the last decade, it’s not unheard of for a lot of people to have heard faithless live already, but it is special if you see them in the right situation. I would be sceptical about going to a standard arena gig for faithless because they play in much better places,  and Privilege will be one of them. More …

Congratulations to Hannah Sullivan who has won the competition and correctly said that Pacha in Ibiza opened in 1973!

Pacha Ibiza Classics is on its way to you!

Annie Mac has just released the lineup for radio 1 in Ibiza @ Ibiza Rocks Hotel. Starts off with a different lineup than what i expected but it makes a change from the regular lineup and im sure people will have an amazing time.

It finishes off with Pete Tong with a more recongisable dance lineup being really upfront, It wasn’t long since Aeroplane did the Essential Mix bu then announced ther split, it will be good to see if both of them will be playing.

All in all, a great lineup this year, i personally prefer the second half of the lineup, however if you are there then its going to be a great day with Swedish House Mafia being the cream on the cake.

Titchy Strider

Mark Ronson

I have recently heard the new Cream Ibiza album mixed by Eddie Halliwell. I find it hard to review a CD like this, mainly because i have so many pre conceptions about it all.

Firstly, Cream –  As a club it makes me think of Paul Oakenfold, Bugged Out, Tiesto, PVD, Ferry Corsten etc, it makes me think of Creamfields, It doesn’t make me think of the new guard that play at nation such as, Eddie Halliwell, Eric Prydz, Adam Sheridan.

Secondly, Cream Albums – Again, Cream albums make me think about Oakenfolds Residency, The old Ibiza Arrivals CD, Im not over keen on all the classics albums that get churned out, mainly because i don’t need an album of classics because i remember them the first time round!

Thirdly, Eddie Halliwell – I think your going to get the picture here, I used to whore myself to go and see Eddie Halliwell, GoodGreef starting a night in Tall Trees many moons ago created a monthly Mecca and Eddie Halliwell was at the helm! Fast forward and he’s ace in smaller doses!

If your still reading and not slagged me off and clicked away for living in the past, you can probably tell i live in the past, at least when it comes to Cream anyway. I visit Cream Ibiza and i am a self-proclaimed veteran of Creamfields, anything else and it generally doesn’t bother me any more.

The other night however, i had just received a copy of Cream Ibiza 2010 mixed by Eddie Halliwell and i thought i would give it a whirl. CD one starts of extremely trancy, and has a really long intro which works really well.

The second CD came on a different time after we had a BBQ, had a few mates round and i thought i would slip it on to gauge reaction, the reaction was good, nobody questioned what was on, and trust me the people i was with would question something they didn’t like the sound off!

Both CD’s create a mix between the freshest names and the old school with new releases, its got the tracks that are being played now and not what was played last year. Cream have pulled one out of the bag here but maybe i shouldn’t be surprised, after all it is representing Cream Ibiza and this is a night that has never died away for me. With this CD, they have pulled in the fans of Cream, Eddie and hopefully everyone else that listens to it regardless of pre conceptions.

As you will already know if you follow this blog, Pacha Ibiza Classics has recently been released. The new CD celebrates the last 20 years of music in Pacha and i have a copy to give away.

All you have to do is answer the following question

In what year did Pacha open in Ibiza?

This competition will close on the 19th July
