some questions upon these parties at space

- is the music style the same? what are the differences?
- is the terrace open??

which one would you go to?
 
Nostrum,

Matinée was elected best promoter last year.
They have been running after parties, parties and clubs for years in Barcelona. They are running the new Space Barcelona.

I don't know about What's up but I can say Matinée is a guarantee 8)

Yeah? I went to the Matinee opening this year and it was crap. We were glad we didn't pay anything and left in an hour. The audience was 90% male, and I talked with some nice gay people, but me and my girlfriend are not into parties with about three women in the middle of hundreds of men dancing to mediocre music.

Last year Matinee and the year before Matinee was ok, but that was then.

I'm sorry to hear that you didn't enjoy.
Matinée it's a gay promoter but since the begining it was very mixed and I never had the sensation to be alone with hundreds of men (Barcelona 6 years ago).
You didn't like the music? I only can say that I alwyas enjoyed the music.

I'm sure that if you use the search option you'll find lots of good reviews and comments about Matinée, even from people from this board who spent their NYD @ Mito Party By Matinée
 
I went to good fridays with some mates as one of their friends was playing, it was crap, full of pikey 18-30 types and the promoter messed the dj's around loads.

I noticed they were giving out 100's free Good Fridays passes out beside Mambo this season to anyone.

Matinée for me though. Good music (I thought) good crowd (I thought) and IMHO lodsa fit boys! lol :D 8)

i was at matinee this year and have to say... it was not then.. it is still now! maybe opening, being first party was not so good but in august the parties i only heard the best of the best of this after party.

opens on 8am and at 8.30 the queue outside was almost absolutely full..

matinee. for me, the best music, gay scene of course, but a lot of girls also, when i was... best music, best parties, and a lot of great people.
 
Matinee is predominately gay. The music is basically house, funky house etc.

Good Fridays is on the terrace and the music is mainly breaks, tribal, electro, house.

What's up is inside Space and the music focus is tech-house and techno.

What's up/Good Friday's is a much better DJ line-up than matinee.

thanx vinylgroover! is the terrace opened on saturdays? and do you know if the terrace is opened always on fridays? i'll be in ibiza from tomorrow (thursday) till sunday and i'd like to go to space on friday or saturday during daytime! (and most probably sun --> WLS, but our flight home is sunday evening, so we won't be able to do the whole!)

I thought Matinee last Saturday at Space was brilliant. Really good crowd (mainly Spanish) and great music (funky but tough with a bit of everything thrown in). Made a refreshing change from WLS. Just a shame it eneded at 5pm as we didn't get there till 2pm.
 
My words exactly, Bubble!

Matinee was great last saturday, I went 12.15pm and didn´t stop dancing until it closed at 5pm!

It also rocked in July the 10th! Best dayparty on Ibiza by far! 8)
 
I was not impressed with Good Fridays

Not well organised (music style went from cheesy house - to breaks - to cheesy house again - to deep house)

They also messed about one of our DJs....managing to somehow treble book, meaning that 3 DJs could only play for 20 minutes each
 
Good Fridays are already over( not really so good inside Whats up was quite ok, but on the terrace there was almost no one) and yes matinee is really great fun, one of the best parties for me this year, and true again 90% guys there, great atmosphere, the place is full, and so many things to see...
