AKASHA

I think this might be a Sven thing as I found this when I went to 528 last September. The crowd were awful IMO. Never had that at amnesia though.

Same for us last year. The crowd were horrible at 528. No manners. We were constantly elbowed out of people’s way and had cigarettes being waved around in front our faces. We kept moving around to find a better spot, but had the same experience wherever we went. We also had tickets for the after party and the same thing happened in there. We found a spot out of the way, but still kept being shoved around as they tried to get closer to the front. Also never had any of that at Amnesia.

We were there on Thursday, but only for the garden. We found the crowd were mostly good this time. Sven was on top form, the guy on before him (Maurizio?) was brilliant and there was a lovely atmosphere. Really like this venue.
 
I didn’t notice myself last week because I wouldn’t recognise most DJ’s on the street (although did see Seth troxler last Thursday in Ibiza town with family) but jospeh capriati was in there, I remember seeing Sven signing a book and if you check Capriati’s IG story it was his book. My gf saw him but had no idea it was him.
 
First time inside Akasha and wow what a venue. It really is first class. What a system!

Musicwise, a bit of a strange night. Not too sure where the psychedelic imagery squared with 70 minutes of retro 2000s funky house hell in the garden (+ pippi calling us all 'motherf***as' wasn't a strong look) & there were a few 'testing moments' inside early doors but eventually our patience paid off and Graff did (finally!) go deep and for the last 2-3 hours it was proper druggy house which was off the scale good.

Some of the dancers were really good. The crowd was decent. Older crew from all over Europe it seemed. Shout out to the white guy in the turban who was getting really involved.

We so needed that dance. Been a super stressful summer and had to let off steam. Not the busiest night ever but people dancing?! With each other?! In a disco?! Will surely never catch on.

*Great to see top man @Anselmi K in the place. Arguably the most stylish hat on the island.

Thinking about checking out the Off Brand party later this week. Anyone know what to expect in terms of music- Sound Metaphors seem to primarily play disco from what I’ve found on SoundCloud, is that what they typically play at Panorama Bar? Anyone have insight? I’m not familiar with the others on the lineup. My taste is pretty aligned with the majority of this forum, planned my trip around Cocoon and generally like circoloco lineups for music…

Heard Heidi play a few times and she usually mixes up new techy grooves with darker house and occasional disco. Very underrated & versatile selector imo.

If you just want melodic/prog all night, i wouldn't bother tbh

I really got what fhmsparkle was talking about. Even though Cocoon last September was one of the best parties, at times I got the feeling that too many people had bad dust in their lunch bags. Sometimes Circo Loco has a similar atmosphere, but it's mostly because of the Italian guys there. I don't remember ever encountering that at Akasha..

Yes I can agree on Circo loco ibiza the crowd there are not nice....i love circo loco so decided to try circo loco amsterdam, now I love going out in Amsterdam has some great parties and festivals with a nice crowd but circo loco amsterdam was horrible. All the dutch chavs were out, felt really uncomfortable for parts of the night, wont be doing anything circo loco has to offer

I'm heading there to support Geoff. Love what they are doing in Whitley Bay. It's a class night every time. He would not select anyone rubbish to play. Can't wait.

Anyone else from the north east heading there?

Ollyyy! It was so nice to see you again! Thank you for “adopting” me, a lonely wanderer from the black night of Ibiza, and taking me in. 😁

I wish I had gotten there in time to see the garden, but judging by the feedback, I might not have missed anything. The start inside was kind of strange. I can’t remember the last time I recognized every track. Maybe the intention was to play the Pacha Funky Room sound from 20-25 years ago. If that was the case, then okay! This didn’t really work for me anymore, but People seemed to enjoy it and their hands went up in the air time and time again when the tracks changed. The atmosphere overall was so nice and comfortable that I had a great time.

It was my first time inside at night and I like the intimate atmosphere and sound system of the place.
