So this is my first of many reviews to come. I will be posting strictly my thoughts on the clubs I went to here. I will be posting a full review of my day to day shenanigans for my trip in the open chat section.
I started out the day at Bora Bora, which I used as a staging place many a night, many due to it's location and ability to produce the most random of events. I get there around 2pm, I just wanted to have a few beers, listen to the early residents play and enjoy some of the eye candy on the beach. I buy my pitcher of beer and am asked how many glasses I will need, I say none, and drink straight from the pitcher. I figure it is one less glass they have to wash, say water, the environment, you know, all that good stuff. So after a couple of pitchers and a few hours later I find it time to head to DC10. I arrive at DC10 and wonder if I got the info correct, I see a few workers but no other people in sight, ah there is someone walking up to get tickets. I follow the lady, who is a 60 years old british gal, wearing tight gold latex booty shorts and a half t-shirt. I speak with her briefly as we get tickets, I can tell by her tone and manner she is already wasted. i think to myself, it's 530pm....nice...this should be interesting if anything. I walk in to the outdoor area and purchase myself a drink, now i had heard that drink prices are inflated at the clubs, and yes they were, but I money is not an issue, and I am here to have a good time. I walk into the first room and see one or two people, I get a bit worried, but then remember it is quite early. I then look to the left and see the terrace area, and much to my surprise the party is already jumping, a couple of hundred people getting down. I walk in and take a look around. As habit, I always walk around new clubs I go to and check the sound from different areas of the club. I went to school for audio engineering so I think this is a normal thing to do. I find a place in the room where I think sound is the best. Back right hand corner about 5 feet from the wall worked for me. I can feel the bass and here the high coming from above out of my left ear just perfectly. The guys playing are satisfying me and I dance my ass off for a few hours. A couple more drinks and a few smoke breaks later i am back inside. The place has gotten properly packed now and the vibe is warming up. This would be the first of many great moments for me on the island. I am dancing and for some reason I stop and look around. The music is pumping and everyone I look at is dancing, smiling, and just enjoying the moment, I then realize it is early in the evening, I am almost properly drunk, i am listening to some proper tunes, at DC10, in Ibiza...WOW....can't get much better...well...you know what I mean. A couple more hours of dancing and I am ready to leave...It was a good day so far and I am thouroughly impressed with DC!0...I don't want to leave early but I have dinner reservations at Pacha and I know I will be returning to DC10 in the next couple of weeks to come.
I head back to the hotel for a quick shower and change of clothing. I then head to Pacha to eat and then check out all the hype that is SHM. Now I am familiar with the individual works of SHM, and actually liked some of the productions from the three back in 04, 05...but I know what they sound like now and it is not really what I am into, nevertheless I wanted to see Pacha and chose SHM over FMIF. So I have a seat reserved at the sushi bar...I figure if I am gonna spend some money at Pacha, minus well, get some grub with my entry to the club....So after some good eats and a few more drinks I head into the club...It is around 2am and it seemd to me the place is properly packed. I do the normal walk around the check the sound. as I walk around i notice that the people are a lot more dressed up here. A lot of women in nice dresses and even some cats in sports jackets...but i here Pacha is the place to dress up at, oh well, I came to dance, not walk down a runway, though i am no slag though. I instantly feel a different vibe than at DC10...it seemed to me that most of the people were there because it was the place to be or, they were looking to hook up, not so much for the music, which i can understand, i wasn't really digging what was being laid down either, but i heard a couple of choons that i liked and danced properly when necessary, a few more drinks and i decide to call it a morning..it is about 430am and i want to go shopping tomorrow, so i head back to the hotel to try to get aa few hours sleep and an early start on the next day. I thought Pacha a really nice club, great sound and I can see how some nights might provide for a better experience. I might have gone in with a pre-disposition, but I enjoyed myself anyway...

..good to 'lay the ghost' of SHM & FMIF - both hugely over-hyped for what they are.
