Best Times!

derrick may @ we love, 2009.
carl craig on the same night.
vvvwi after-parties. the location of which was handed out on a scrap of paper saying 'if you're reading this you are special...' and a map next to it.

sitting outside wipps up to no good, back in the day.
sharing living space with hookers.
i always love bumping in to random people from back home too - 'what the f*ck are you doing here?!' type stuff.
NOT getting the job at mambo.
queuing up for that stupid nie number, or whatever it is.
the first time i went to zoo project felt a bit special after the new laws had come in.

but far out-weighing clubbing memories are those of holidaying on formentera every year as a nipper with my parents and brother. england vs spain, euro 96 in a little bar in es pujols sticks out. happy days indeed.

"love is in the air"

haha dc11 I am familiar with - the ultimate crack den!
 
2009, Amnesia.
Ferry Corsten @ Cream

First time I'd been to the Island, first time I'd been to Amnesia.
First time I'd got hold of some quality stuff. Nothing beats the sensation of being completely smashed, in a club in the middle (ish) of an island, hundreds of miles from home.
 
1st time I ever walked into Privilege, stood at the top of the stairs completely speechless with my mate for about 5 mins just staggered at the sheer size of the place.

That same night (Manumission) hearing, El Nino, Binary Finary, and 14,000 people singing Delerium Silence in unison is something that will forever be imprinted on my memory.

Leaving there at 9am absolutely twisted, riding motorbikes down to Space for the Carry On with my mate's girlfriend on the back of the bike barely being able to hold it up at the traffic lights. Getting into Space, old terrace in full flow and the dj dropping Music Sounds Better with You as a plane flew overhead. We hit Bora Bora at some point in the afternoon, again 1st time experience and was blown away at the sheer hedonism and debauchery underway at 3 in the afternoon.......

More to follow!
 
The past few years I've taken my little girls aged 1 and 2 to Ibiza. My eldest, Mia, is two and this June will be her third trip to the island. As much as I miss the randomness and freedom of my earlier trips, going with the ankle biters still produces some gold moments.

Such as;

Dancing with the little ones at the Jockey Club at breakfast time

Sunday lunch at Sa Punta

Getting daggers from the staff at Blue Marlin for bringing rampaging children to their venue (thought they might be used to it with all the Djs who frequent the place)

Sitting in one of the squares late at night in Ibiza town when they have finally fell asleep in their pushchair and enjoying a bottle of wine and a cigar.

Life changes but Ibiza still remains a special place, even if the pleasures are a little simpler 8)

(plus we get to go back sans kids for a september rampage :lol:)

Good one
 
18 hour Sunday Space sessions on the old terrace

Bora Bora bar, foam gun, DJ Gee 2003

Manumission afterparty 2002

running wild in the woods north of San Juan 2005


Danny Tenagila at Space in bout 2005, whatever the year of the opening of the new Terrazza was. It felt like the whole of the Spotlight gang were all there together (except Buckley who, I think, disappeared for about 8 hours)...... I Felt Love.

Im going back this summer for a 5 day jaunt for the first time in 5 years. Slightly nervous as
a) it will all be very different
b) Im rather out of practice at partying hard.

Deliciously excited though....
 
22 hour sessions on the terrace at space on sunday. blue mesh flapping, terracotta dance floor, patchy sound system, maHOOOOsive sunglasses, the german guy in speedoes, plane flying over. carl cox 6 hour sets n stuff. lawler closing, losing it to sasha inside.

still never got tired of saying all that.

Good times! All of it, not just the eight hours I flew solo, I mean:lol:
