This, and also there where definitely a lot of very empty/crappy parties as well... I can remember being at Privilege with less then 200ppl. on a regular non manumission night. Space in the morning often took hours before it filled up.The music is better in many cases than in earlier days. Not in all. Some evenings in the 90s were chart music overkill.
Especially in Ku.
This is what I keep saying about hi. I loved space and had many of my best times on the island in there. But space had a helluva lot of empty nights or nights that didn’t take off at all. Looking at the queues, hi must be packing them in every night. Most of their events aren’t for me, but they are incredibly popular.This, and also there where definitely a lot of very empty/crappy parties as well...

Of course we remember the best nights first, but not all where like that.
You had to be thereNostalgia is a hell of a thing
Thats the reason whx I never understood , that they made it bigger.This is what I keep saying about hi. I loved space and had many of my best times on the island in there.

You are very right about Privilege too. I vividly remember paying a small fortune for an all star cast trance event in there and with about 300 punters. It was a heck of a place to fill. From memory, I can only remember manumission, resistance and cream / up yer ronson (for special events) filling the place. Supermartxe, tunnel trance force, techno club and xtravaganza never packed the place out to any great extent and some of those nights we’re running for years.
Yes, most of those nights I posted are from a long time ago! Techno club, Xtravaganza, tunnel trance force and Ronson were running at the same time Manumission was at its peak. But you could put a capacity Pacha in Privilege and it would feel like a quiet night.Thats the reason whx I never understood , that they made it bigger.
Up yer ronson : Long time ago. Techno Club , too. Was a Frankfurt thing from Dorian Gray
Is the cave a thing anymore for after parties? I remember getting an invite / being told about it when we were there years ago but we never went.september…villa parties & afterhours!
quite a few bits planned in the next few days (including tonight)

LOVING the (unexpected) passion for Prefab Sprout here.Supermartxe was this sex thing ?
Cannot remember. Or I dont want ...
I looked at the old Flyers. A lot of chartbreakers with live Performances. Ok , Culture Club wasnt so bad. But not the reason to go to Ibz. Sigue Sigue Sputnik , too. Prefab Sprout definitely WAS a reason to go to Ibz and a reason to go everywhere. And so on. We had Alfredo These were magic nights. Weatherall and others , too. Dont know if weatherall was in Ku for a gig ?
Ok , today we have a lot of EDM Djs . Thats what Ku at many days was , maybe in earlier days. Was a magic Island nevertheless.
many... means they still do some?they don't do many after parties there currently, but yeah, it's still there!
