Most of us who post regularly on here
I just happen to to an amazing place for my holiday where techno tends to be played. Ibiza first, then techno.
You can get techno all over the world, but there’s nowhere like Ibiza.

with C72 here. I can get techno on the mainland anytime I want, the quality acidy stuff too (in fact, off to check my buddy Jerome Hill at MOOG in a couple of weeks) - but certainly not why I go to IBZ. I want warm, sunkissed music on holiday not cold climate, warehouse darkness, which I of course love too, but everything in context imo. which is not to say the odd banger isn't appreciated, but a whole night of it? bollox to that!

The default music in Ibiza should by definition be Balearic! Whatever one thinks that is.

Can't agree more...
Djs who are playing faster than 130bpm should be banned from the island

But not all techno is faster than 130 nor does BPM determine the vibe.
But if we're talking about BPM strictly, resistance this past Tues was below 130 or at it...i have my stopwatch!! Lol

That's not very BalearicI have a good idea, how about the island host parties with varying types of music and let the people decide what they want to listen to

okay, so...
weds night started with a spotlight team dinner in ibz town (la dispensa, I thought it was really good). during dinner I was made aware that the really well-planned villa afters for thursday was canceled last minute. the soundsytem and everything had already been installed, everything was set up...but then I think the people who had rented the house and had offered to do the afters there got cold feet. to all those from the team this put a pretty big damper on the vibe - we'd been very much looking forward to this one.
anyway, I didn't want to let my night get ruined and decided to stay positive and enjoy the night as much as possible and then we'll see what happens.
got to pacha just after midnight and had a fantastic night. liked sven's warm-up, then kink live was superb and sven again was also great. also spent quite some time in room two with shonky - loved the groovy stuff.
so far easily one of my favourite cocoons of the season.
as for afters...eventually someone said oh we could do a small one at my place and half an hour later we were there. it was literally 50 people no more than that. and because the house was at the end of such a bad dirt road (when I say bad I do mean bad) it was clear no taxi would bring any additional people. so from an afters in a posh villa for a few hundred people it turned into a super spontaneous afters in a super basic typical ibiza finca with sven playing on the porch. the music he played during the day (started at 8 or so and played until past 3pm, then maurizio took over) was fantastic. I've got some shazams and took lots of notes so over the weekend I've got time to go through them and will post here. but it is as I've been saying for years: some of the best music sven only plays at the afters, because a lot of it isn't made for a club that's at fever pitch.
we left around 6pm I think. so it wasn't a full 24hr shift but still long enough.
bit tired now so in recovery mode until sunday when it's time for another big one, dixon + solomun.
