AKASHA

Regarding Akasaha, it recommends 25+ but assume it is officially an 18+ venue?

yes, correct.

It is purely advisable. I went to a SlapFunk party last year when the crowd was a lot younger and a lot more British than it usually is and, actually, it's fair to say the kids just didn't get it. Not only did they not appreciate it, they didn't really like it. Some very disappointed faces

Sven on Thursday at La Dalias was brilliant. The last 2 hours were close to perfection. I wish I could back to those two hours.

He closed with It's my Life (Talk Talk), which of course everyone in the somewhat geriatric crowd remembered from their youth. Perfect ending of the outdoors part.

It was too chill for me afterwards at Akasha. The first hour or so was understated and relaxed. It picked up a bit but not like outdoors earlier in the evening. The music was never really engaging. I left at 2.

Again?
Nothing against that tune but this has been happening for the last three years, don't tell me Run-DMC and "La isla bonita" got an airing too 😉

Hernán was amazing last week.
He's such a master behind the decks and a great tune selector.
The atmosphere in the garden was electric and pretty much the same once the party moved indoors.
Too many good tunes to mention but I particularly enjoyed a track that sampled "Sacred cycles" by Pete Lazonby, "Astra" by Solis, "The Lights" by Kölsh & Sasha and "Apricots" by Bicep.
Most definitely going back in July.

Sven knows his key demographic: Men born in the late 1960s, who have made a bit of money in the hospitality business, perhaps not entirely legally, but is anyway comfortably well off. Now the kids have left the nest and the wife wants holidays in more exclusive destinations than Granca and Magaluf.

Now in Ibiza they want a good time, and find themselves at Las Dalias, probably with some friends from back home, with the men now grey-haired and looking like villains from a Guy Ritchie movie.

But do they belong here? They haven't been following music since synth music faded out and was replaced by Brit pop.

But when Sven finishes with It's My Life, which they all remember from their youth, they know they are at home. Las Dalias is for them. All is good.

So I'm afraid we're going to have to hear that song also next year.

Saw people like me , who were part of the Omen and Dorian Gray crowd. They ar in electronic music since the first Depeche Mode album. A little older , but better. Normal jobs , or retired. Not many gangsters or something.

I'm all for nostalgia but there are so many good tunes from the 80's he could also play if you go to see Sven regularly, "it's my life" starts to sound a bit boring in my opinion.
