dc10 to close forever at end of season??!!..say it ain't so
- Thread starter keune
- Start date
fatphil, I think you’re on the money there, but I hadn’t planned to go back in September, so what to do?? it would be a bit indulgent really, involving four flights etc
It would be nice to get one last session in cos for me, dc10 is your ‘pure’ Ibiza clubbing experience – no where else comes close. so even if circo loco moves to a new venue, amnesia etc, the thrill travelling down the Salinas road for a lost Monday afternoon’s dancing will be gone.
plus, all you have to do to see where Ibiza is going is check out last Sunday Times style section which focused on the growing VIP scene on the island and in the clubs (a quarter of Pacha’s capacity is now VIP, there still can’t do anything about the rotten swell on the roof terrace though!! Poor terrace VIPS!)
If you do take dc10 or bora bora off the agenda, places like Pacha become less attractive – pacha can and is replicated in other holiday destinations, but there is only one dc10.
it is a den of iniquity that’s for sure (my Spanish ain’t what it used to be, but I did see dc10 mentioned in the news report concerning the Italian guy who died, so a tragedy like that will only hasten the demise of the club)
on my recent visit, I was boppin away with my mates and who is just a few feet away but a couple of local paramedics waiting for someone to collapse!! What does that say about the club??!! though it has to said that one of the paramedics soon got dancing.
One of my friends approached one of the medics and asked was he there in case anyone got sick. the medic surveyed the crowd and responded: “Everyone is sick in here!”
looks like they were taking the wrong meds too!

Call it a hunch, but I believe a coalition of politicians, tourist industry bigwigs and rival club owners are going to do for DC-10, using that cafe concierto licence as the pretext.
I suspect that whatever lawyers DC-10 throw at the bid to get a "proper" discoteca licence, they're not going to be allowed to open next year.
I hope I'm wrong. But if this July's visit turns out to be my last, I went out with a bang. It was just brilliant and Luciano played the best set I've heard from any DJ this year.

I'd agree with quite a few of the comments Keune made.
But with the way things have gone, they could have learnt a thing or two. There are no searches on the way into the club and there is open drug dealing and use throughout the club.
I was offered drugs between 40 and 50 times over 4 hours at Circo Loco. 2 dealers were even offering competitive rates to one punter... it was getting a bit heated.
I saw one bouncer telling a serious dealer to keep it down, but he just let him be.
I saw two fights there last Monday as well.
Some discretion could go a long way!

Goodness me! I've always had the opposite problem on a monday at DC10. Although I've often experienced a similar situation to the one you describe at We love on a sunday.
Quite suprised to hear that.
Is that a regular occurance? Not that it matters to me, I'm itching to get to DC-10.
Dont worry about it. Normally just a couple of rowdy italians or spaniards, who generally make up 10 minutes later anyway!

Pete Tong on Ibiza’s New Politics/ministryofsound-interview:
09 August 2007
The world’s most important dance broadcaster speaks to MoS about
this summer’s hard line action against the clubs in Ibiza,
and what may happen next...
...
The clubbing industry in Ibiza is by far and away the biggest, most celebrated,
intense and profitable one on Earth.
But it now finds itself under unprecedented pressure ...
...
“I think they thought, if we shut down DC10 for instance,
we deter a certain type of tourist that we’re not that interested in.
And I think they were shocked by how many of the high-rollers -
who come to the island in their private jets and boats,
hire big villas and spend fortunes at restaurants and all the boutiques –
by how popular a real grassroots club like DC10 was with them and everybody,
including the islanders themselves.”
...
“If they carry on simply curtailing people’s entertainment it will have a big knock on effect for the island that will go way, way beyond your average 18-year old who comes to drink 20 pints in the West End.”
