I just came back from latroya. monza, pure pacha, space and dc10 closings.
Lemme say you this about the Space Closings:
I think the setup music/dj wise was excellent. Spreading good djs for exclusive hours at the Carpark arena made you wanna be there longer than just putting all the money in the 00-06 timeslot.
They also changed the carpark arena to make it more like a dancefloor. At the opening there was this huge stage at the very end making it look like a festival, this time they had the djboth positioned more like a classic setup making everything feel better as a whole.
When I first entered I went, as planned, straight for the carpark where Morales was supposed to play but I didnt hear any sounds what so ever. All I could hear was him saying the f-word ****loads of times.
When the music finally began it was obvious that the following on the planning stage had happened:
Bacardi "won" as the lowest bidder of the former drink manufacturer Redbull meaning they had to take care of everything outside even the sound and when it came to low bidding the mustve won by alot since the sound was terrible. I mean here comes at least a thousand clubbers from all over the world and this is what we get?
David Morales did his job but it was not with too much joy from him which one can understand. Then Dj Oliver was playing greatest hits from Ibiza, really fun but quite cheesy.
Then Lawler began to play and I moved more center and was almost horrified how bad the sound was. But it turned better very soon and his set plus the crowd was amazing. Please download his set bc is a pure gem and I think its the best set Ive ever heard him play. Ppl that say he played minimal should listen to some of his set from the summer but this was pure adrenaline and very tribal.
Overall this by far beats the opening party but someone should really tell mr Pepe Rosallo to have som more respect for his costumers.
Peace!

I really enjoyed Closing this year at Space. The line up was thinner than last year, more residents than big names, but I don't think that was neccessarily a bad thing.
I really liked what they'd done in the car park. It was a much better use of space, and Bacardi clearly spunked a lot of cash on the production.
Re: the sound 'problems' I'm not really sure what Morales was on about. An arena like that, set up on a temporary basis, and with flat walls around will always have echo, so its hard to put speakers everywhere or it'll sound all over the place. It wasn't really loud early on, but it never is, and when we were down on the floor it sounded fine. It was only at the far reaches of the crowd it got quieter. I was also taking pics up on the stage and it seemed ok from there, even when the monitors were turned down. To be honest I've DJed in a fair few places where the monitors are as loud or louder than the club.... anyway, while I can understand he may have been a bit peeved, he just came across like a bit of a ***** having a rant like that.
DJ Oliver was very good, really played a good transition between Morales and Lawler (from I feel Love by Morales to Lawler's really techy stuff) and Steve Lawler was ace. He didn't seem that pissed off when I was up on the stage, but you can never tell that easily I guess.
Tania and Jose de Divina were facking awesome as they always are. My favourite set of the night. I didn't catch much of inside to be honest, and Tong wasn't much cop either, but the sunset terrace was good crack when I was in there.
It was very full very early on, but I don't think it was as crammed as it has been in the past, so hats off for not just filling it as much as they could.
I bailed before Morillo as I wanted to rest for DC10, and I think he's rubbish anyway (something that was confirmed by a few people I know that did see him).

Space Closing - Audio of Sets?
Hi,
thanks to everyone that posted the broadcast from Space closing - does anyone have Morales in the B Live arena, and the last part of the sunset terrace with Jonathan Ulysses and Tom Novy please? Sunset Terrace was amazing for the last few hours!
Thanks
James
