meganite opening, wed june 11
we arrived at 1 and privi main floor was just getting busy. gabry fasano played the warm-up, he began minimal-ish and slowly took the energy higher. 90 minutes later, it was adam beyer who took over and by then, the main floor was really busy and his energetic set was reflected by the people's moves and shouts - great! later, meganite head-honcho mauro picotto (who will play every wednesday there this summer) closed the opening night with a state-of-art techno set...good to have meganite back on the island!

we're finally approaching the openings of the BIG nights here in ibiza. the island still seemed to be very quiet in the past few days, but now slowly the main places are getting busy with the arrival of a lot of clubbers for the next few opening parties...
cream opening, thu june 12
i got to amnesia at around 1:30am. sasha was already playing in the main room. his set was proggy, with some trancey twists, quite deep and laidback in the beginning and then got harder towards the end. the main room was busy from early on while for the terrace, it took much longer until it was really busy (it never got packed that night, also a sign the island's not full yet, but i think no one on the terrace had a bad feeling about the place not being rammed). on the terrace, it was a housey story with a lot of electro put in. here's the terrace, nicely cream-decorated and laser-lit:
back in the main room, short before 4am, paul van dyk entered the dj booth and continued where sasha had stopped - powerful prog at first, and then trancey stuff (including his "half a world away" for example).
i didn't stay till the end because i had to get up early today, but still, it was a very enjoyable night at amnesia and cream will be a winner this year as it is every year! the only thing that was missing last night was the ice machine...it neither worked on the terace nor in the main room...but i'm sure it will be back working soon!

The terrace looks great, can't wait to spend a Thurday night there!
Sasha'a due to play the terrace on July 10, any idea what kind of set he'll play, not into prog house so if it's gonna be like that I'll go the week before.
Cheers

here we go then
wonderland opening, fri june 13
first off, i have to say we were only there for an hour or so, to have a look and a drink. i was quite tired and looking at the programme of the next days, i simply wanted to save my energies for other nights. but anyway, here's the score - when we were there (between about 2am and 3:30am), groove armada were playing in the main room (and afterwards tong would have closed the night). the club was busy, the main dance floor really busy, but the venue wasn't at full capacity. that's no surprise though because neither cream opening the night before was packed - the island's just not full yet. i am sure wonderland will be a success this summer, many people follow tong to eden and he really brings great guests this season. so the 3 big nights on friday will be wonderland, pure pacha and manumission. as for "wonderland or pure pacha?" i'd say: venue-wise, i personally think i'd stick to pure pacha because i just like pacha more than eden. music-wise though, i'd check the lineups (which are really good for both parties) and just decide which dj's i'd prefer to see!

ummm honestly i am not a big fan of GA. but i thought the music was ok - they played quite the obvious stuff. friends of me who stayed till the end told me tong was really good and closed with the killers' mr. brightside (the JLC rmx)...and that it was really busy until the end.

people from ibiza opening, sat june 14
this is one of the less famous parties at amnesia, but always good fun and imo quite underrated. right, there are seldom really big name dj's, but the atmosphere is always great and if you come early, you mostly get in for free (just look out for the flyers).
just a short review - same as friday night (when i went to wonderland at eden), i just went for a bit and i was curious to see if it would be busy. when i arrived a bit after 2, the main floor was full (!) and the terrace was nicely busy. the residents (mar-t, les schmitz et al) were dropping the hits and people had a good time - and the ice-cannon was working again!
