Thanks Stivi. We're definitely going to get there early - especially when the line-up is so good that we want to see pretty much everyone!

I think they're different enough parties (Circoloco and Paradise) that they attract different enough crowds so a good deal of clubbers wouldn't have this dilemma. Whereas say, Cocoon and Hyte would be likely to have more of a crossover.
Remember DC10 is also only a fraction of the size of Amnesia too.

funnily enough we just spoke about that subject last night.
My personal view is that paradise and circoloco have become much more similar over the years. in their first season (2012), paradise was almost exclusively english and the crowd was a lot of shufflers. but due to the line ups they have now, more clued-up people are doing paradise and the crowd's also become more international. I think for overall attendance circoloco still has higher numbers (also because it's more hours), but various people that have been to both circoloco and paradise this week told me that at peak time, paradise was simply just as busy if not even slightly busier.
again this is my personal view, but I honestly don't see a huge difference between circoloco and paradise anymore nowadays, especially not musically.
I think most people do dc10 just once when they're here so they decide between circoloco and paradise, but then again there's always people that are religious dc10 fans and won't miss a night. plus don't forget that as circoloco and paradise have a slightly different schedule, you can actually do both and still do other parties. means, do circoloco early (7pm until 1 or 2am), then do cocoon. and on wed you could do tini and the gang early (now let's see what happens next week as it's been closed down this wed) or alternatively andrea oliva's party at beachouse and then paradise later.

Or indeed Nic and Joris at Ushuaia before Paradise when they're back in September and I'm on the island, looking forward to that as a double-header!
Stivi, got to say I'm very pleased to hear that Paradise has moved closer to Circoloco in crowd and music (although others may well disagree). I won't be able to go to Circoloco during my one trip to Ibiza this year and I've never been to Paradise partly because I've been of the view that DC10 and Circoloco are so intertwined, it just wouldn't feel right being there at another party. But if Paradise has a splash of that Monday magic then I'm all for it.

I have the exact same situation Myself. Flying out on September 7th and attending Paradise in place of Circo Loco.
The lineups speak for themselves for Paradise this year, some absolutely blinding weeks. Jamie Jones in the form of his life. You really cannot go wrong.
Although I'm very curious as to who the special guest is on September 7th..

One of their strongest looking lineups, even without including the TBA special guest, very nice!

Indeed!
What do you guys think of HYTE vs Paradise on 29th July? Will have done Cocoon on the Monday so not sure if I wanna do Amnesia again on the Weds.
But I've listened to Jamie Jones' sets from Paradise closing 2012 and 2013 and was just not feeling it. Is this is still his style? Also does anyone else think Jamie Jones B2B Joseph Capriati is a strange pairing?

I tend to like Jamie Jones paired with somebody who plays more heavier techno as i think it creates a good balance. Jamie plays a lot of funky/groovier stuff at times, so when you have someone like Capriati with him it makes for a good change up, but that of course is just my own opinion. For me I would be even more interested in Roman Flugel b2b Joy Orbision.
I like Pan Pot quite a bit and Dettman as well but i would choose Paradise over Hyte on almost every Wednesday based off of lineups with the exception of a maybe 2 or 3 nights.
Cheers chris. Yeah could be interesting with their different styles. Listened to a few of Roman Flugels sets - sounds good. Still undecided. Edging towards paradise but dunno if I can handle the busyness, need space to dance. Went to circo loco last year and it was just too busy for us and ended up leaving after a couple of hours.

IMO Jamie Jones over the past 6 months has hit new heights, some of his recent sets have been truly amazing.

I was going to go this Wednesday, but will check out at the end of August! Not sure what has happened to me! I skipped ENTER last night, going to MusicON and want to go to Paradise!

a bit better than in july. enough busy in the terrace (say perfectly busy until the dancers podium in the middle, but almost empty past that line) and main room sometimes nicely busy, sometimes struggling.
Interested by this too. Dc10/circoloco holds so many good memories for me as a rather green, bright eyed 19 year old on my first visit to Ibiza 9 years ago. I've had a couple of years off and can't wait to go back in a few weeks.
That said the Paradise line up looks quality for the week I'm there, and I am not sure I want to do DC10 twice on a 5 night trip. Especially as I am going with a first timer.
I note DC10 has been running till 5 this year, has it been last and still busy, and do we think 5 closing will run into September ?

how long since your last dc10 visit then springal? dc10's obviously a lot changed compared to 9 years ago...
yeah I do think they'll continue with the 5am closing time until the end of the season (later for their closing party of course).
I still haven't been to paradise this summer (and am honestly not sure I'll go at all), but people tell me that it's still very british, but maybe a bit more international than when it started in 2012. it's extremely successful this summer, packed every week.

Absolutely! Last visit 2013 so not long ago. Will judge the line up and see I think. Can't beat CircoLoco but like I say Paradise line ups have been cracking this year & Jamie seems back on form.

agreed, paradise line ups are super strong this year...and thus the night is extremely successful.
ah if it was only 2 years ago since your last visit then it won't have changed much.
