GodsKitchen Boombox @ Privilege 2011

Posted by Gary on Tuesday 7 June 2011

Yesterday i was excited to be writing about Gatecrasher making an appearance back in Ibiza. Today, im excited to be telling you that GodsKitchen seem to be making an appearance back in Ibiza after a loooooong and very much missed absence!

Yesterday Sander Van Doorn tweeted an picture of his billboard in Ibiza, nothing special here, however an eagle eyed spotlighter noticed if you look closely it has two dates for Privilege on the 20th and 27th July and in the bottom corner it also has GodsKitchen Boombox as one of the nights he is playing at!

GodsKitchen Boombox is a visual show that looks stunning, ive never seen it for real but Space had something similar last year for the opening party, I expect these two nights to be amazing shows and if i was in town, i would definitely be going to this.

Ive checked out the privilege website and the night is still unannounced. I have noticed this year that a lot of the Dj’s are playing multiple nights and not just sticking to one club night which is think is great, this means GodsKitchen are not as limited with the Dj’s they could be putting on.

As ive banged on about many times before GodsKitchen in Amnesia is one of the best nights ive ever had in Ibiza, if these could be a snip of what they used to be like they will still be worth it.

Gatecrasher @ Privilege 2011

Posted by Gary on Monday 6 June 2011

If there was ever a blog post i would never imagine writing, this would be it! It just goes to show you can never predict Ibiza!

For the month of August, Gatecrasher will be hosting parties in Privilege every Wednesday! Its been a long time since Gatecrasher was in Ibiza and if my mind serves me right, they held a season in Eden and Dave Pearce was the resident! It wasn’t a great successes and as a result Gatecrasher in Ibiza went very quiet. It’s no surprise though, the quality of Gatecrasher nights in the UK went from what made their name, to complete crap in a very short space of time for me.

The night in Ibiza however looks very promising and the line ups look more like Gatecrasher line-ups that gave them the name they have. Paul Oakenfold has not played much in Ibiza for many years and he will be playing 4 weeks in a row. Oakenfold currently has his residency in Vegas as well as his radio show which is quite good.

GodsKitchen @ Privilege 2011

Posted by Gary on Friday 6 May 2011

Rumours have been circling for a few months about Godskitchen making a return to Ibiza in 2011 at Privilege.

Its been around 8 years since GodsKitchen threw a party in Ibiza and they went out with a bit of a whimper in my opinion, In the early 00′s  GodsKitchen was one of the strongest nights on the island. They threw their parties in Amnesia on Tuesdays and had residents such as Tiesto (before he was so well known), Picotto and Fergie in his hard trance days.

2001 is the year that sticks out for me as being the summer of GodsKitchen, They did everything right, they had the best laser system, the biggest names playing for them, they had everyone wanting to go, they even had the best designed artwork! Then i have no idea what happened, the year after they moved to Eden and booked people like Dave Pearce.

Now there are lots of conspiracy based stories that i heard about and they all involved clubbing politics (promoters making sure their top dog with help from club owners – naming no names :) ). The move to Eden signalled the end to a night that in the short time it was at Amnesia became Legendary to those who remember it.

Moving back into the now, there have been various tails that they are set to return in 2011 at Privilege, there is no way on earth Cream would allow GK to try to encroach on their turf again! The first story is Wednesdays which has since been dismissed and they are expected to do some one off nights through the summer, the source of this information supposedly coming from a Dj that has been told of the plans.

If GodsKitchen are in Ibiza in 2011 i wouldn’t know what to expect, im unsure who would headline and weather Privilege is the best venue for their events. Although i would love to see GK back in Ibiza i don’t think i could bring myself to go because last time i went in Ibiza was one of the best nights of my life and i know they wont be able to top that night for me.

The History Of Ku

Posted by Gary on Thursday 24 February 2011

For me, Privilege and Amnesia are the two clubs i see as being the original foundations of the clubbing scene in Ibiza, right or wrong that’s how i picture it. A couple of weeks ago a i published some video’s of Amnesia closing party in 1989. Recently Ibiza Spotlight have written an article about the history of Ku which later got renamed as Privilege.

If it interests you like it does me then take a read, there are some great photo’s with the article as well :)

Privilege Cancel Love Parade Party

Posted by Gary on Tuesday 27 July 2010

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!!
