Well it my last entry about my trip covered some of this day already but I don't really feel like it's the next day until I've slept aka drunken pass out.
I slept maybe until 4:30 PM or so when a ringing sorta woke me up. I didn't know what it was until I realized it was coming from the hotel phone! Someone was calling me, and they must have called before cuz I vaguely remembered a ringing earlier in my sleep that I was trying to ignore. I picked up the phone. It was the hotel lobby guy from earlier. He told me that he's been trying to contact me for some time now. So apparently he called Pacha and they said their office is open until 5:30 today and that's the time I have until to check their lost and found items. I asked him if they could just check for me and tell him over the phone. He said that
the girl he called there wasn't at the office and didn't know the contents of their lost and found.
Rather than bug this guy again and ask him to call them again to ask, I rushed down to the lobby and asked him to get a cab for me. It was around 5 PM now and the clock was ticking. I ran outside to find a cab cuz I couldn't wait. I found one and flagged it down and told him to go to Pacha. He was wondering if I already called one from inside the lobby. I told him I did but that I couldnt't really wait for it. He eventually left and started driving to Pacha.
I didn't know where the office was. I have to also say, this place looks so much different in the daytime too. Someone there took me to the office. It was like literally 5:25. She wasnt sure if the place would be even open. It was somewhere on the second floor somewhere, outside the club.
I walked in this place and there was some cute girl sitting there with braces. I asked the magic question: Did you find a passport here last night?? She pulled out a big brown envelope and looked inside she asked me if I was Canadian. I said yes intensely...this passport had to belong to me! I was probably the only Canadian on the
island at the time as I met no other ones on my trip! She pulled it out and gave it to me and I looked inside and voila...i see my picture inside! I was so RELIEVED. Asides from the passport being a bit sticky, there was no damage to it. I was giving the girl 20 Euros cuz I was so happy but she was rejecting it. I told her that I could go to DC-10 now and she laughed and kinda rolled her eyes at the ceiling LOL.
I left the place, flagged a cab outside Pacha to take my back to San Antonio. The driver was like a model almost, something I'd never see anywhere else around the world. She was really hot actually. She was listening to my story but seemed a bit bored TBH LOL. I got back to my hotel and I'm unsure of what I ate or exactly did before leaving for DC-10. I know had tix for it already...i bought them off a seller in the West End. I preloaded a bottle with some more alcohol and took a cab there, but this time I didn't nearly get as drunk. I was still reeling
from the night before in some ways.
There was small queue outside DC-10, nothing crazy. It was like around 9:30 at this point. It was busy all around, but not like overly packed or anything. All reports of DC-10 being busy but bearable in June were spot on. I entered the Terrace to see Dyed Soundorom playing and I moved up to the front. This terrace had like no lighting at all I think but no matter it was cool being at DC-10. I took a picture of him with my disposable and some raver told me "hey no flash man". I suppose he's right, I forgot that it could be extremely distracting to the DJ.
I would go outside to the courtyard to smoke at times and move back in. I met a guy out there who was going to Cocoon afterwards just like me and wanted to meet up at 2:30 to split the cab. I had no phone so I told him I'd meet him at this same spot or something. I pretty much knew this wasnt gonna happen TBH. We sat down on the floor, talking. There were security guards roaming the place left and right, so I wasn't sure if i could run my joint. I think I could have gotten away with it in the crowd standing up closer to the terrace and main room exit but I lost this joint I had somehow when I had it in my cig pack. Like I had pulled it out and put
it back in, or so I thought.
After Dyed, it was Dixon and then Tale of Us. Dixon played harder than I thought he would. I'm used to just hearing his slow stuff, but eah I guess had to play harder. I enjoyed it and as well as Tale of Us after, who I don't get the hype for. I saw them a couple of years ago and thought they were okay, but they were much better at DC-10. I can't really remember any specific tracks, but I thought it was solid all around from both these guys. I didn't check out the main room until much later and I was even more impressed. There's like no lighting effects in the terrace but the main room has a bunch of them and was bigger too.
It was like around 2:30 or so and I pretty much forgot about the guy before and took a cab too Amensia for Cocoon. It was there where I met up a Spanish guy outside who was also alone and after talking for a bit, he shared some of his "supplies" with me for free, which was cool. I noticed that ppl are friendly and give out stuff in Ibiza and I would take this principle and pay if forward the next day actually. We met up with some other ppl too outside who were predrinking vodka mixed some cirtrus-y juice. They were Spanish as well and shared it with us and he gave some of his supplies to them too. We eventually headed in and I think it was past 3
Am at this point.
Most of the action was going in the Terrace. The vibe was really good...Amnesia is my fav club on the island, and is breathtaking, when it's fully going. I saw some of Sven Vath and thought he was playing well. I liked him mimicing the sounds in one song by moving his fingers up and down like he's playing on a keyboard as he had a big smile on his face. This night had Nina Kraviz playing after him and the terrace had Ricardo Villalobos, Zip, and Sonja Moonear. I was basically there for Ricardo as I've never seen him live before and I'm bigger fans of his than anyone else there that night. He started at 4:30 AM and even more ppl were on the terrace at this point. Nina was in the main room but the room was like half full really. Ricardo played well, this was before the whole Cocoon in the Park incident. He wasn't acting like that too much but he is still a little spacey lol. I think I went to the back for a bit and saw the the visual effects guy doing his thing by displaying varying animations and visuals up above against some circular things with this laptop. I told him it was cool and then the security after a while when some other people came to join me a bit told us to get lost lol. I like looking at the behind the scenes stuff, what can I say.
There was a curious character in the DJ booth, this lady with with a white headscarf. She's there for like all these events. I wonder who she is. She seems like she has some work done on her face though.
Around 6:30, Ricardo went b2B2B with Zip and Sonja and kept the music going. Nina Kraviz and Dyed Soundorom as a surpise joined them all in the booth. I was DJ whoring it up I guess and came up close. I've never seen so many DJs altogether in one booth, but it was only Ricardo, Zip, Sonja who were working the decks. Truthfully, it was mostly Zip and Sonja. My disposable camera malfunctioned before coming to Cocoon, so I couldn't get any pics of Cocoon. I think when I dance, the constant hitting of my thigh against the camera screwed it up. But I helped out other clubbers taking their pics with the DJs. The one couple asked me to take a pic of them with Nina Kraviz, they were on either side of her. I ended up just getting the pic with the guy and Nina and the girl was pissed while the guy was laughing LOL. some other interesting things, Ricardo hugging Nina Kraviz like she's a little kid lol.
The music ended at 7:30 AM and outside I talked to Dyed a bit, told him I liked his set from DC-10. I went around to the taxi queue area again and I saw him again. I asked him what he was doing with us minions and I thought his helicopter or limo would be waiting for him. He laughed and I got to know a bit about him. He said he had rented out an apartment in Ibiza but that he travels between Ibiza and Berlin basically. He told me "never leave the island". No kidding. I nervously than asked him if he could take a selfie with me and send it to me since I had no phone. He had no problem with it and asked me to send it by email. I was like "ooh Apollonia's phone" and he's like "come on, man" lol. It was a nice moment.
I actually wanted to take the bus home. But I was confused as to where it was and I ended up just taking the cab back to my hotel after that.
