Kehakuma - at Space
This is a bit of a non event. A bit lame. A bit of a waste of the opportunity to play Space.
Some interesting music for sure but the variety thats great if you're in an altered state but it should not be a necessity.
Muscially a good idea but lazy in the execution. My reasons for saying this is:
Firstly propoters need to realise that not all, in fact very few, punters these days actually know what they are going to see at most of these venues. To keep them coming back you should not/cannot dissapoint them.
Secondly, Ibiza is an island not short of very talented percussionists. So why present a show - and thats what Ibiza's big clubs are about, putting on a show entertaining the punters - based on a percussion sound without having a live show.
If this had gone off with live drummers and percussion it would have had a very clear atmospheric message and would have been a sell out and possible they could have played the back room too.
Instead it was an also ran. Pity that.

i dont understand this. the part about percussionists??
But I would say we love could learn a thing or two from this night. So much more atmosphere, dancers, ice canons and production. We love is just a big sweaty room...

This was last Thursday.
Oh no not at all.. not ice cannons, acrobats or dancers on stilts... lmfao... but a BETTER underground vibe... if you can be u/g in Space and be true to it!! Percussion is the stuff that goes bang bang usually done with hands and sticks on some streteched skin, its been know for its rythmic effect for some while now, at least since 1982 when it was invented by a small boy from Fife called Akin Drum, and its better done by hand than by a machine which just plays the set - I can do that on the PA in my studio - but when i get the drums out no matter whats on, it just gets better.

Totally agree on teh VIP bit.
Ah, its just a question of what you like. I think its a 'specialist' thing the Kehakuma.
I'm off with me bongos to the mountains.

I don't think vip people and those line-ups work well and to take a piece from another thread which called this 'inverted snobbery' well personally I think anyone who does vip all night and claims to like that kind of music is lying. There is no such thing as 'vip' in the underground. Try going to a real underground party in your white gucci linens and see what happens to them. Plus the word vip I think should be abolished it sounds ridiculous 'I payed 500 euros to be a very important person tonight, aren't I magnificent' it sounds really silly

It's widely accepted this is more of an 'underground night' and one that's pretty popular with those not into the commercial/mainstream scene. That includes a lot of people living and working on the island, including DJs, who are often found in the smaller venues steering clear of the 'big nights' at the big clubs.
Isn't it quite nice that once a week they (and the likes of I on occasion) get the chance to go to a smallish night at a bigger club with some bigger names for a change, without having to shell out mega-inflated international prices and fight our way through hyped-up main rooms to the back for the privilege ? If every room in Space was getting played I'd argue it wouldn't really be a night with an underground feel
Don't disagree with you the music at Kehakuma can be a bit hit & miss sometimes but that goes for any night really .. the number of times I've heard people going on about how some of the big name DJs on big nights were filling up hours of the night with experimental claptrap at 70Euro entry prices ... Also how they had to stick it out through endless 'rubbish' to get something that hit the spot with the music they were hoping for - it happens all the time.
If people are buying a night out based on a venue rather than the particular line-up that's playing there, and expecting it to rock for them, it's pretty clueless tbh - just a lesson learned by experience isn't it ?
You wouldn't just turn up at the O2 Arena and expect to like anything that was going on there.. why should a large venue like Space, Privilege etc. be any different You should have seen the Supermartxé opening night pre-party at Ãtaca bar.. the bassline was all live there and it rocked .. no way minimal or deep house tho' ! That one was free of course
Highly recommend trying out some of the other ways to party rather than doing the rounds of superclubs .. I've had far more fun this way !tripehound

I had never heard of this night before I went a few weeks ago(oh how I wish I was still in Ibiza
) and I had no idea what I was going into other then it was "underground" 
At only 33e entry I was a bit unsure on if it would be worth the money, but I cant stand the music nor the dick heads that fill amnesia at cream so I and my better half gave it a whirl. She would not have gone without me telling her though
We had a great time! No english piss heads, no edgy atmosphere just nice electro music with a good vibe and I am even in the pics on their facebook group when seth troxler came on 8)
Although I may give it a miss next year, the only reason is we have so much to do I dont think I will make it standing as with the lads I will hit it harder then with my g/f.
If you like non commercial underground electro music with a good vibe and a club that looks stunning yet leaves enough room to breath then go for it
The biggest plus for me is the lack of brits, may sound snobby(I am far from it) but to go somewhere that feels totally Mediterranean was a breath of fresh air for me. No hassle, no idiots, and no elbows in your face when you want to throw shapes.
Have a good time 8)

Hey, and thanks for the replies. I love love love Steve Lawler (have seen him many times in England) so am really looking forward to this party. Nice to hear your good words about the night.
I have also been to Cream many times over the years (both in IBZ and England) and whilst I love it there too, I want to go to a different type of night.
Sounds like our first night's plans should be a good 'un! .... Luciano at Ushuaia, then Lawler
