According to the winter Gossip thread of Ibiza spotlight Pete Tong has upped sticks and left Pacha to host a night of his own at Eden!! Apparently the contract has been signed. For me, this is a big shock. For the reputation Pete Tong has along with the reputation Eden has amongst the big 6 clubs im really suprised he is starting his own night there. For the last 5 years Pete Tong has been the resident in one of the sexiest clubs in the world that is Pacha Ibiza. His style of music and the clientèle of pacha seemed to be a match made in heaven. Now for 2008 he will start a new night in Eden on a Friday night (Direct competition with his old night at Pacha) called Wonderland. This has been reported as fact, Now ill add a bit of gossip to the post and ask WHY??
My initial thought is mixed. He could have done it because he has had a falling out with Pacha, the night was never his own anyway, it was a night that took over from Ministry of sound and he has just always been a resident. He could be doing it purley because he wants a night to call his own, Another less attractive thought is that he is doing it for the money. Having his own night will make him a lot more money than working for someone else. Judge Jules has his own night there which is one of the busiest and most expensive nights on the island.
I personally think he has made a mistake. Eden has been the kiss of death to a few nights in Ibiza in the past. The best night in Ibiza saw the end in Eden. Godskitchen@Amnesia was an amazing night in Ibiza, after a falling out with Amnesia over the rights of the name Godskitchen went to Eden and after 1 season never returned. I feel that Pete Tong at Eden could be another night that only lasts one season. I have this feeling purely down to the fact that the type of people that would go to see Pete tong would not go to Eden.
I wish him all the best and i would even go and see what its like. lets just watch this space.
