On the 29th of December, Space Brazil will be opening its doors with Carl Cox and Josh Wink. Space Brazil isn’t part of a club tour, its actually going to be a Space nightclub.

If you read the spec of the club it sounds crazy and strange, the club will hold 4000 people which is similar to the Ibiza, the car park will hold 3000 cars, i presume lots of people drive to and from clubs in Brazil! Oh, and its got a hellipad, ideal for all the Dj’s to be flying in and out. The picture below makes the club look great, very Space esc, if it opens in only a couple of weeks, im not sure why they only have an artists impression of it. Maybe its not finished.

I’ve never been to Brazil, but this is a part of Brazil i would love to now visit. Space of course isnt the only Ibiza brand that has made the trip to this part of the world. If your ever in Camboriú visiting space, you will HAVE to take a 50 minute car journey and visit Dj Gee at Bora Bora Brazil. Now ill be very upset if i needed to explain who Dj Gee was, but basically, he started Bora Bora Ibiza, and turned it into a place of legend. The place has never been the same since he left 5 years ago.

In a recent keynote speech in Australia, Tiesto revealed that he probably wont be taking up a full-time residency in Ibiza for 2013, instead probably only doing a few one-off gigs through the summer.

“Next year I’m not sure if I can do it, because it takes a lot out of me to play there from the end of May till the end of September”

Tiesto is seen by a lot of people as one of the biggest Dj’s in the world. For my personal and ever-changing taste, Tiesto was amazing in times gone by but he hasn’t done it for me for a long time now. Hi had his own night in Privilege for a while and the place looked busy. Last year, which was a strange setup for me, he held a residency in Pacha. Love him or not, he has spent the last 10 seasons in Ibiza playing week in week out.

Will you miss Tiesto if he doesn’t play every week in 2013? My only concern, is where will all the Tiesto fans go!

Google plus hasn’t made to much of an impact in the non tech world, however, Some Dj’s and record labels do seem to have taken an interest.

Today (i think) Google communities sprung into life, you can pretty much see them as Facebook Pages. Ive never really jumped onto the facebook page bandwagon and put much effort into it.

I thought i would change that with Google Communities and so i set one up!

Its not an Ibiza Blog community, its just a General Ibiza community, if you have your own blog, business, night, salon, jet pack company in Ibiza, come along and spread the love. Im not sure if everyone has access to but events can be added to the community, with events comes googles Party Mode, which gives real time updates and media from people involved.

Anyone can join in, but i will kick out spammers. Its only been made today so initially a bit thin on the ground in numbers. Let you mates and your mum know about it

Cheers

Next Tuesday, Mambo play host to a very special night for a great cause. Mambo in The Mix, is a charity event raising money for the Red Cross, and they have something very special lined up.

Planned to coincide with their 18th birthday (eek, they were 5 when i first went!) They have a night of drinks and music planned, with a twist.

On the night you can expect to see the following Artisits:

• Armin Van Buuren
• Paul Van Dyk
• Carl Cox
• Eric Prydz
• Judge Jules
• Roger Sanchez
• Harnan Cattaneo
• Nervo
• Funkagenda
• Guto
• Duane Harden
• Woody Van Eyden
• Adrian Lux
• M.A.N.D.Y
• Mark Fanciulli
• DJ Oliver
• Seth Troxler
• Zdar Of Cassius

All of these Dj’s will be working behind the bar in Mambo at some point throughout the evening. In what would be the most surreal event if it ever happened to you, PVD could be serving you a beer, or Seth Troxler could be mixing your Pimms!

Whats more, you could be playing the music from the Dj booth, while the Dj’s are mixing the drinks! It sounds like Mambos will be a road block on the 18th, but it will be well worth it for your favourite DJ to be serving you, and money being raised for charity.

I think its great these guys have taken time to do this, so return the favour and if you’re in Ibiza next Tuesday, go down and check it out. If you’re not there but would like to contribute, then head over and make a donation on the Mambo website

Everyone loves the beach, and everyone loves a party, put them together and through in one of the best dance acts of all time, and you have yourself one hell of a party.

If you’re not bothered about the Radio 1 gig  (which most people aren’t) or you didn’t get a ticket, then head down to La Plage which is net to the radio 1 gig and party on down to Groove Armada, Tim Sweeney and Huxley. With only 2000 people getting into the Radio 1 show ive got a feeling this beach part is going to be a road block

The last time i was partying on the beach down there was when Ushuaia was cool and only a bar on the beach. If i had the option, i would probably opt for this beach party. and the best thing is… ITS FREE!

On the 9th June 2012, Amnesia will be opening for yet another season entertaining the masses. Priced at 40 there are two rooms of music to tantalise your taste buds.

This year you can expect to see the likes of Sander Kleinenberg in the main room with the likes of Reeboot on the terrace.

Every year Space has the headlines when it comes to opening parties and Amnesia have never done much to open sooner, however, Amnesia is one opening party ive not been to that i would make the effort to get to. For me, Amnesia doesn’t have the glitz and the glamor when it comes to the opening parties, but it does have the real people and some serious music.

MAIN ROOM

Sander Kleinenberg
Kim Fai
The Zombie Kids
Les Schmitz
Caal Smile

TERRACE

Davide Squillace B2b Matthias Tanzmann
Reboot
Audiofly
Mar-T
Coyu

Pukka Up are one of the old guard when it comes to Ibiza, Always there, always reliable, and they have always ruled the waves with their boat parties. If my patchy mind remembers correctly, Pukka Up were the first real club brand to really make waves with the boat parties (like what i did there!!)

In 2012 they are running two competitions at the moment to become an integral part of the Pukka Up 2012 season.

The first competition is to become the IT Girl of Pukka up, the only requirements are that you are attractive and love to party….. Ibiza is short of girls like that.. honest! If you think this is your ticket to a summer in Ibiza go over to the Pukka Up Facebook page to sign up https://www.facebook.com/pukkaupfanpage/app_160181377416321

If you are not a pouting girl, then you still have a chance to be in Ibiza for the summer with the DJ competition they are running with the chance to win a residency on the regular Boat parties that will be running. If this is more your bag, then send a 60 minute Mix to sam@pukkaup.com

2011 was a great year for the Ibiza Rocks guys, they had a great lineup of talent on during the summer and they also went all Ska with their closing party when Madness took to the stage to finish of the year. Madness playing at Ibiza Rocks fit in well with a whole host of gigs from bands, groups that you would not expect to see on the Island and it all seems to have gone down well.

Ibiza Rocks are already however, busy planning next year. The Hotel opens from the 15th May with weekly gigs taking place from the 6th June for 17 weeks. You can expect the usual top class lineup every Wednesday throughout the summer and if your staying at the hotel the your gig ticket is already included in the price.

New for 2012 are Saturday nights, if bands are not completely your thing you can go to the hotel on a Saturday to see a top class range of Dj’s playing on the main stage next to the pool. Last year, people like Annie Mac and FatBoy Slim played in the hotel, other dates that stick in my mind in the past is Stave Angello with his Size Matters party.

Its only two weeks away now and Radio 1 will be what everyone is talking about in Ibiza. They are throwing a free party at Ushuaia but you will need a ticket to get in. Tickets can be picked up at a selection of venues around Ibiza starting from Wednesday the 3rd August.

If you’re not down their on Wednesday at the times stated, i will be very surprised if you get a ticket. If you land in Ibiza on Thursday or Friday, then again, i would be surprised if there were any tickets left. The demand to be at Radio 1 events is remarkable and every man and his dog will be trying to get tickets!

If you do get tickets then a free bus will be put on for you.

IF your on the Island on Wednesday then get down to the following places for tickets:

San Antonio:
Café Mambo from 1100
Ibiza Rocks Bar from 1100

Playa D’en Bossa:
Sands Beach Restaurant – 1000
Ushuaïa Ibiza Beach Hotel – residents only from 1000

Ibiza Town:
Base Bar from 2000

If you have been to the island this year, you have probably seen it, if you are going this year, you will see it!

You may have noticed that at some point during the night, everyone sits down on the dance floor (apart from the spannered guy that doesn’t know what’s going on!) and then on queue, usually by the dj, they jump up and down being very happy!

It seems to be happening every ware this season, some times promoted by the Dj (im thinking Ibiza Rocks here) which is usually pap because you have been asked to do it, but a lot of the time, completely random, its something most people join in on and you can’t argue that it looks really good!

However, although this is sweeping dance floors in Ibiza this season, it’s not the first time it has happened! Its been going on for years in DC10 with Magda, the best and probably the first video i saw of it was in 2007!

Anyway, the rest of the island has caught on, the people from DC10 5 years ago that started it of will probably be hating it now its caught on!!
