No Ferry Corsten @ Cream 24th June 2010

Gary — Thu, 24 Jun 2010 18:42:39 +0000

Ive just seen it come through on my twitter stream that Ferry Corsten will not be playing in Cream @ Amnesia tonight.

6 hours ago Ferry tweeted

On my way to Ibiza now for Cream @ Amnesia tonight! Let the summer begin ladies and gentlemen…;-)

Unfortunalty, all KLM flights have been cancelled flying over French airspace because the air traffic controllers are on strike again. These guys were on strike and caused delays for me getting over to Ibiza when i did, It seems they have taken Ferry and Cream as a casualty. His last post was

Sorry people but I really can’t make it to Ibiza tonight! We’ve tried ALL possible options incl. private jets!!! Due to the situation in France everything is messed up, so I will NOT be able to perform at Cream Ibiza tonight! I am terribly sorry for those who expected me to be there…

I can really feel for him and anyone meant to see him tonight, in 2009 Ferry was amazing and i would be devastated if he couldn’t make it because Ferry in Amnesia is an amazing night.

The lineup for tonight was meant to be

Thursday 24th June
Main Room
Ferry Corsten
Lange
Adam Sheridan

No Ferry Corsten @ Cream 24th June 2010

The Biggest Ibiza Club Nights of 2010

Gary — Tue, 18 May 2010 18:54:13 +0000

This is a guest post by John who blogs on the Ibiza clubbing site loveibiza.net

With the 2010 Ibiza clubbing season drawing in fast the usual scramble for the clubs to finalise their lineups and get us hot under the collars with the prospect of ‘special guests’ is well underway. But with announcements and lineups flying from all directions at this time of year its easy to miss the really big stuff so here’s my attempt at singling out the parties which I think are shaping up to make the biggest splash in 2010.

Space opening weekend
No great surprises the Space opening party is going to be big but in what I believe must be an Ibiza first Space are stretching their opening ‘fiesta’ over 2 days. If this translates to success in terms of ticket sales it wouldn’t surprise me if more big clubs and promoters in Ibiza try the same formula next year.

Deadmau5 at Cream, amnesia
With it’s usual powerhouse duo of residents PVD and Ferry Corsten returning to headline Cream 2010 this nights guaranteed to be as big as ever on Thursdays at Amnesia but it’s the nights with Deadmau5 hosting the terrace that we think are going to be massive. This guys had an incredible 12 months and recently sold out Brixton at £40/ticket so catching him in the backroom at Amnesia for €40 with Ferry in the other rooms got to be the biggest bargain in Ibiza this summer! Look out for Deadmau5 hosting the mixmag terrace from the 12th August onwards.

Circo Loco @ DC-10
Ibiza’s black sheep is back on the White isle in 2010. Circo Loco was the dirty little secret of the Ibiza scene until DC-10 got on the wrong side of the authorities. They did one night last year and have announced an opening party for the 31st May 2010 which everyone’s hoping to precede a full season of parties.

Dizzee Rascal at Ibiza Rocks
Genre defying Dizzee is my pick of the Ibiza Rocks 2010 lineup. This guy puts on a great show, he loves Ibiza and Ibiza Rocks is the type of crowd he can whip up into a bizarre indie/ dance/ hip-hop induced frenzy. Florence and the Machine and Ian Brown are my other picks for Ibiza Rocks this year.

Glas at Es Paradis
One of the most important developments in Ibiza’s gay scene in the last few years sees Birmingham’s Glas brand front and centre in San Antonio at Es Paradis. With an opening party scheduled for 17th June (same night as Cream opening) I’ll be interested to see how this night fares.

Hed Kandi moving (again) to Es Paradis
Hed Kandi’s not everyones cup of tea but Es Paradis is the perfect venue for the funky house night where it can pull in passing traffic from the West End. This nights moved 3 times in 2 years which has got to be some sort of record! If its going to find a home anywhere on Ibiza surely Es Paradis will be it. Opening party set for 12th June.

Lets not forget – Radio 1 weekend
As ever this will be a hugely busy weekend in Ibiza 2010. Looking at the calendar its likely to take place on the weekend of 30th July this year – get your Ibiza Ibiza hotels booked now:-)
What nights do you think are going to be big in 2010? Let us know in the comments.

The Biggest Ibiza Club Nights of 2010

Armada @ Amnesia 2010

Gary — Mon, 26 Apr 2010 07:35:35 +0000

Armin Van Burren will continue his world domination this year in one of my favourite nights in Ibiza which is Armada@Amnesia. Tuesdays will be shared again this year with Roger Sanchez who will be hosting the Terrace with his Release Yourself parties.

If your somebody that’s not really sure what nights you want to go to in Ibiza then this could be a great night to visit Amnesia. The main room is the perfect setting for trance, Cream is a very successful night but i think Armada is a better night, mainly down to the crowd that is in there for an Armada night. If you decide trance isn’t your thing then you could also say the new terrace is perfect for a Dj like Roger Sanchez, if you then decided you didnt like this as well, then id probably get the next flight home!!

Some Notable nights this year for me include, 6th July which is A State Of Trance, this will be a night recorded and broadcast on Armins radio show the next day. Another notable night includes 3rd August which is Armin Van Burren doing an 8 hour set.

The disappointing thing is that Armin is not playing all the dates this year including the closing party which i would have expected he would

Armada @ Amnesia 2010

AnjunaBeach Ibiza 2010

Gary — Thu, 22 Apr 2010 15:30:24 +0000

I have a big soft spot for Above and Beyond, ive followed them since they very first came on the scene. This year they are spending all their time in the studio and because of this they are only scheduled to do one night in Ibiza this year.

The night they have chosen is the 1st July for Cream @ Amnesia. AnjunaBeach is a concept they reserve for very special parties which they started in 2007 when they held an AnjunBeach party in Goa. In Cream they will be playing a 3 hour set with support from other Dj’s on the Anjuna label. The night will also be used as the launch party for Anjunabeats Volume 8 which is a much antisipated album release, The Anjunabeats albums never failed to satisfy.

I would like to think they will be doing something more than a party in Amnsia for an Anjunabeach event, especially if it is their only event of 2010 in Ibiza. Id like to hear about a beach party they threw somewhere on the island before Cream. Something similar to what Groove Armada did in the past or the Azuli beach parties.

In the words of Above and Beyond; here are 5 reasons not to miss AnjunaBeach Ibiza in 2010

Hear some of Above & Beyond’s new album material, roadtested for the first time on electronic music’s favourite island

Meet and share the experience with fellow A&B and Anjunabeats fans from all over the world

Be part of the story on A&B TV. The A&B TV cameras will be there to capture the experience, interviewing fans on the night, and broadcasting via Above & Beyond’s Youtube channel.

Attend the Anjunabeats Volume 8 album launch party in the sunshine

Go there, do that and get the T-shirt!

Cream @ Amnesia Lineup

Gary — Sat, 13 Mar 2010 19:19:29 +0000

Cream have announced their summer lineup for their Thursday nights in Amnesia and it looks good!

Familiar faces trough the summer include PVD, Ferry Corstan and Eric Prydz, Adam Sheridan has a few nights as well as some other really good dj’s.

The thing i am most looking forward to is the way they are using the terrace, PVD will be performing in the Terrace at the opening and closing party which will be really good and if you ask me it could be cream testing the water to maybe make the terrace the main room next year.

The other part of the lineup that will light up many peoples eyes is the inclusion of Deadmau5 and friends taking over the terrace for 7 weeks.

This year Cream have really made sure that no matter when you are out there you will not be disappointed and if you are lucky enough to be there for PVD on the terrace or Deadmau5 then savour it because i predict that to be the highlight of Creams year at Amnesia

Cream @ Amnesia Lineup

Cream @ Amnesia 2010

Gary — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 10:00:24 +0000

For as long as i have been going to Ibiza, Cream is one of the clubs that has been stable throughout, They haven’t moved, caused much controversy, they haven’t fallen out with the club owners that has been public and they have week in week out put in great nights people want to go to.

Over the years they have kept the sound of cream appealing, in 1999 i took a visit to cream in Ibiza and Pete Tong and Judge Jules were playing trance to a packed main room.

Go there today and the atmosphere is still the same, Paul Van Dyk has a good role to play and has been another constant in the Cream DJ Booth. For many years PVD was accompanied by Tiesto who eventually moved on but he has been at the helm with a whole host of other Dj’s new and Old. Adam Sheridan was supported by cream in Ibiza after making his name around the clubs of the UK and Gareth Emery has had some great nights there. They can still however pack a punch with with the heavyweights such as Ferry Corstan and Eric Prydz making Cream in Ibiza a night to remember.

In 2010 Cream will carry on being the constant in Ibiza and it starts on Thursday 17th June running through till the 30th September.

In 2010 we can expect more great line-ups, Big hitters and fresh talent. The Courtyard in Amnesia now plays a bigger part in peoples trips to Amnesia than it used to, expect the Amnesia to have Line-ups that rival any other club on a Thursday in Ibiza.

**** UPDATE

As i predicted the terrace is playing a massive part in the Cream Lineup this year with PVD playing a set there as DeadMau5 hosting his DeadMau5 and friends night for 7 weeks.

The other main players this year are the same as last year, Eric Prydz and Ferry Corsten
