...... Haven't posted on here for a while, mainly cause I ain't been to Ibiza since 2003.
I just hoped I could get some good feedback from people on the direction that Ibiza is going. Now before you all get bored to death, I don't wanna talk about, is it still the club capital of the world, is the magic still there etc etc bull, forget it, its boring.
If we're all honest, apart from the odd nice day of beach/scenery (which you could get anywhere in the world) and the general holiday vibe, food/drink and better weather than where you live, everyone is there for the music and the clubs, agree? great lets move on..
I first went to Ibiza in 1995, yeah I ain't Paul Oakenfold or Danny Rampling, but I've seen 8 years of change in Ibiza. I've had some of the best nights of my life in Ibiza, end of, without the detail.
But what is apparent to me now, that, not in a cheesy way, commercialism, has ruined the feeling, Ibiza is no longer a place for being who you want to be, its about being someone else, and the music is put to one side.
Where are the roots in HOUSE music, being pushed on the island now? DefMix, maybe, but where else?? the small little special places like Sa Trincha, what happened to Pin Up, that could have been one of the best clubs on the island but the powers that be ruined it, cause its all about money and the big clubs having control.
Space, for me, has always been overrated ever since the first two years I went before Home/We Love Sundays etc, when they played happy music ont he terrace abd people really were happy. Lets face it, they never turned the music up on the terrace for years, I'd rather be on my hotel balcony that paying 30 Euros to listen to dark music in the afternoon.
I'm gonna leave this there cause I could write forever on it, but where has the place that I hold so special in my heart gone? Don't get me wrong, I aint a cynic, I just want to go back to Ibiza and for it to be as good as it should, not overrun with far too many crap nights.
Anyone got any thoughts, apart from me being nuts
