One of my loves in life has to be Retro more specifically, Paul Taylor. I blame it entirely on spending time in the North East of England where Retro was an institution for so long. Over in Ibiza, Retro has had its highs. Circo 10 years ago, Retro was the workers party of choice, the retro tunes went down a storm and Retro was cemented.

Unfortunately, the pull of Retro has dropped some what over the last 5 years or so, i myself haven’t been to one for years now, but once in a while, i do go, and it reminds me why i loved it so much!

This summer, Retro don’t have a regular night, but they have confirmed two parties in Sankey’s Ibiza on the 2nd July and 18th September

If you have the chance, go and check it out, if you cant make the night, try your best to get to the pre party, Retro is one of the best pre parties around.

Sankeys in Manchester have appointed themselves a new resident Dj for 2012, after scouring the country for the best Dj talent.

I’m excited to say that Mr Pedros has won the residency and will be playing at Sankeys for the next year! If your not sure who i am talking about then you should read my blog more! Mr Pedros kindly did an Ibiza Blog mix session for us earlier in the year, so im over the moon he has won this residency.

You may have seen Mr Pedros Dj in Ibiza this year with Electronique who did a series of dates this year including a boat party and having one of the rooms in space for a night.

In 2012 you will have the chance to see Mr Pedros in Sankeys Ibiza as well as playing on a Sankeys boat party at some point next season.

This is a quick blog pre next weeks diary entries. No doubt whatever we got up to over there next week will provide some insight into the island and of course our silly raver heads but I just wanted to outline what our battle plans were so if anyone has a special interest in a place they can tune in to see what the place is like from a true consumers point of view. No DJ favortism, music mag bias, snotty journalist write up, just pure 100% how it is gonna be for YOU or rather how it was for me and my merry band of trance warriors, techno kids and minimal yeads!!

We have made a commitment to each other to have it as large as humanly possible and I promise you all that I will bring describe it to you in as much delicious detail as I (legally) can!!

The definates are Circo Loco @ DC10, Be @ Space, Cream @ Amnesia, Zoo Project. I am of course allowing for a few nights of spontaneity to see where the island takes me. I will also try to check out Sankeys and feel that I have missed out on the Fiesta del Agua in the past so will try to write up what a night at that landmark party is like.

If your interested in any of these then check out my Ibiza diary next week…

Peace, Love and Techno

Sankeys opens its doors for the first time in Ibiza tonight with Monza. At the moment, there isn’t much information about what nights will be in Sankeys, i said when i first heard about Sankeys opening that it would all depend on pulling in the Dj’s. Lots of the Dj’s that play at Sankeys in Manchester already have dates in Ibiza but today was some amazing news.

Ferry Corsten has written a blog post on Facebook revealing his new weekly night in Sankeys Ibiza! Ferry does have some nights in Cream this summer, however he will be hosting Tuesday nights with his Full On Ferry night.

On a personal note, i love Ferry Corsten, and im gutted his night doesn’t start till July. I really think this night will be amazing, ive never been to the club Sankeys have taken over, however i know how Sankeys like to work in smaller clubs and with Ferry on the decks its sure to be a hit.

My tune has changed a lot thinking about this new club in Ibiza and im sure if they get the numbers through the door Sankeys could be a little belter this summer!

Full On Ferry will run from the 12th July till the 13th September.
