I shall stick a review of the opening shall be up here tomorrow afternoon. I can confirm that it is the coolest gig on the island. 3D Video Mapping, near to no lighting and fantastically dark music, friend remarked that it felt like 'we're in a Tokyo high rise right now.'

Squeezing through the glass walled entrance to Vista Club as the inky night descended on the Privilege hill, it was immediately apparent that Next Wave was not simply another Ibiza Party. A dotted matrix of yellow lights projected onto the floor gave way to a main room that was completely transformed. A dark expanse spotted with minimal lighting and 3D video mapping framed the figure of Fumiya Tanaka, emotionless, and letting his unique brand of rippling, stuttering minimal fill the room.
On an island over-flowing with safe and similar musical ventures, it was refreshing and relieving to find this shelter from commercial trends. Next Wave are committed to pushing an overtly underground sound and with Tanaka, a live performance from Thomas Melchior and headliner Rhadoo the spooky left-field clacks of avant-garde minimal were received by a passionate, knowledgeable - yet sparse - crowd.
Straddling the line between the danceable and more intellectual music, Tanaka utilised long unexpected breaks and broken rhythms to build a dynamic journey through unusual bleeps and sounds. Unique to the scene is the use of field recordings and data manipulation to create sounds that have never been heard before. Whilst the kicks and drums of a house track may be replicated across hundreds of its peers the purveyors of true minimal relish the concept of original creation.
Thomas Melchior, using a sixteen channel mixing desk, delivered an intense live performance. Similar to Tanaka, the constant EQ-ing typified by the larger musical scene is almost completely absent. Instead, layer upon layer, kick upon kick, is added seamlessly to maintain a relentless travelling wall of sound. Melchior slowly eased into a softer oeuvre as the appearance of robotic synths and more rounded sounds sparked the audience into motion. Again, the music presented holds much more in its metallic, jarring waves then many others. It spurs feelings of intimacy and artistry.
With a blinking view of a town far below, The Vista Club, with its geometric white cross-beams and glass-walled surround felt a world away from the rest of the island. Judging by the opening party of Next Wave, here is a place for true music lovers to communicate and lose themselves in what is a fantastically dark synesthetic embrace.

Well .... that's a bit too strong imho but as far as bigger clubs go it's one of the more firmly embracing of 'experimental' !

I dont' know but...can we still call "underground" parties like:enter,cocoon,circoloco,music on etc etc??
With such a big global brand behind,with entries fees up to 50€ and superstar dj's getting lot's of money!it's right to call them underground?
After you're right!there's some really nice smalls events on the island that i'm really looking forward but this one for me is special!

it's actually not only "good music" that has a hard life on the island.
if you read my season preview that came out a week ago, go to the bottom (personal thoughts). there's a paragraph about too much being on offer on the island this summer. this is exactly what's happening at the moment. only the most popular parties are really full. everywhere else is either nicely busy or not busy enough. then again, high season is only kicking in in about 10 days. but still. never before has ibiza seen so many parties going on every day and night. it's too much. not everyone will be successful this summer.
