Ibiza Superclubs Dismiss Disco Mafia Charges
18.12.2004
A spokesman for Ibiza's superclub collective The Association of Nightclubs (that has to be david de felipe from amnesia) has rejected claims by Bora Bora's resident DJ Gee that they were behind the recent closures of clubs including Bora Bora, KM5 and beach bars including Sa Trinxa and Benirras, branding the allegations as "rubbish'.
"We have no interest in seeing legal venues closed down," he told DJ magazine. "The people who instruct and carry out the law in Spain are the authorities and not the nightclubs." ahem..........
Ibiza resident Smokin Jo, who's Djed and lived on the island for a number of years, told Skrufff she believes the closures reflect a broader pattern of gentrification.
"Time's are changing really, it seems like the local government want to make the island more like St Tropez and they don't want all the clubs and parties with all these monsters running around the island off their heads," said Jo.
"There's a huge apartment block being built next to Bora Bora and they're not going to be able to sell all the apartments with Bora Bora going on, so obviously they had to shut it," he suggested.
"I think the closures of all the small clubs could have a very detrimental effect, though I think things will turn out OK in the end. When things get pushed underground they always pop up again.
"The vibe's still the same in Ibiza but there's loads more apartment blocks and roads being built whether people protest about it or not. There are all these huge four lane carriageways there and you don't need them on a small island," she said.
"It's going to end up like Torremolinos if they're not careful."

recently Mr C also gave his opinion about all this..........
What do you think of the Ibiza situation, licensing problems and the "disco mafia"?
It's tough when the So called disco mafia put their foot down but if all the clubs that got hit this summer didn't tread on their toes & done things properly they would have escaped the disco mafia wrath. Underground didn't have any problems at all because it's run properly & respectfully towards the big clubs. Lets not forget it's these clubs that worked their bollocks off for many years to make Ibiza happen in the first place for what? For some cowboys to come in & f*** up all their hard work?
