Need to post a few more brief club reviews here i think ...

Last night was a really tough night to choose where to go ... Armada had Rank 1 (live), Markus Schulz, Armin van Buuren, Mark Knight, Laidback Luke and Tocadisco ! What a line-up !

But i chose to see Laurent Garnier and Carl Cox at Space, Garnier is a bit of a legend you see and he was playing two sets last night - one in the main room, the other in the terrace.

Ok ... it was rammed at Space and hot hot hot inside the discoteca.

But my god, what an amazing night. Every time i´ve been to Carl Cox this year, the energy in the discoteca has been unreal. Laurent Garnier absolutely smashed it, making Cox more of a supporting dj rather than the big-time headliner that he is :)

Garnier´s first 30 minutes were unreal, every tune was getting cheers and whistles. Unfortunately i can´t whistle and i lost my voice after my first week in the Ibiza clubs this summer - so i could only show my appreciation by dancing like a loon and throwing my hands in the air ... a lot :) It was techno but not as hard as you´d imagine him to be.

His second set was in the terrace and he played more of a tech-house set, also pretty damn good lol. Even better, after the rammed discoteca chaos, it was nice to get to the terrace and actually have a little bit of space to move !

As the club reporter for Spotlight, you can imagine that i´m out clubbing most nights of the week and i´ve have been to many, many parties this summer.

I can confidently say that last night was easily the 2nd best night i have had this summer, and there have been some quality parties i´ve been to this summer.

I´d recommend Carl Cox to anyone visiting Ibiza (and next week the Plump DJ´s are headlining). Awesome atmosphere that you only find at a few other parties (Cream, Cocoon and DC10).

Saying that, Armada (at Amnesia) is also a great party on Tuesday nights with some quality dj´s every week. Choose either of these nights and you can´t go wrong :)

By the way ... if you´re interested, my top top night of the summer so far was We Love Space on 27 July, where the Plump DJ´s and Boyz Noise were on fire in the discoteca, while Paul Woolford was up to his usual high standards in the terrace at the end of the night !!
 
saw Garnier at Circus in Liverpool in Feb. He is truly the master, it was more of a house set than a lot of the times he plays, it was class.

So did Laurent Garnier play any Drum and Bass in his set?
 
dan! finally, someone agrees with me about plumps at space. it got a bit of abuse for being a weak line up but we danced like twats all night. plump djs blew me away as ususal, and it was so nice to hear a bit of breaks amongst all the tech for the rest of the holiday.
 
No drum and bass from where i was most of the night. Garnier is also doing a set for We Love in a few weeks which should be another good one.

Plump DJ´s - every time i´ve seen them play i´ve enjoyed it, really looking forward to seeing them at Carl Cox next week too :)

Garnier is awesome isn't he? He should play more in Ibiza than just a handful of dates each season.
 
I went to the closing of Coxy's night last year and Laurent Garnier was booked for the same. 3Hrs Chicago Tech set in the Discoteca and then he finished us off in the Terrace with a Tech-house/proggy set that i ll remember for a loooong looong time!
I love Garnier, he is a true L E G E N D!
 
Garnier is a TRUE Legend...

I'd say my favourite DJ's over the past 10 years have Been Garnier, Tenaglia & Francois K...

All 3 will go down in folklore. I can see simialrities between these 3 and Bill & Ted from 'Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure'. Society will be based on listening to DJ set's from the late 90's & Early 2000's. And Priest's will quote famous lines from DT 'Be Youself' 'Music is the Answer' & 'Work it'
 
I've been at Cox night at Space on 5/8/08 and it was absolutely fantastic!

Yes it was hot, yes it was rammed, however that didn't bother me from having a great time hearing Cox tear down the sunset terrace and then onto the inside to catch Garnier at it's best dropping ofcourse 'The Man With The Red Face' (and then some) to the delight of the crowd.
After him Cox tookover and gave a stormer set with his usual MC work.
Then i moved to the Terazza to catch the last few hours of Garnier "Red Facing" us again and throwing some more quality tunes!

All in all a night to remember! 8)

Oh and there was THE ROBOT:
