BEAT & RAW SAYS GOOD BYE TO SUMMER Featured

When Beat & Raw kicked off the season with a powerful performance by hip-hop legends Cypress Hill and an eclectic line-up that reflected a daring, boundary breaking concept of live and electronic meets urban, we knew we were in for an interesting summer.

Friday nights at Space Ibiza have seen some of the best live-acts and biggest names in music grace its stage including Morcheeba, Thievery Corporation, The Klaxons, Peter Hook, Digitalism, as well as many more, combining live shows with DJ sets, classic to contemporary vibes but always a premier line-up.

Now coming to its closing party this Friday September 21st, we see once again an impressive bill of names which includes JUSTICE (DJ SET), CASSIUS, OPTIMO, THE RAPTURE (DJ SET), JUSTIN ROBERTSON, OSCAR CANO, DAISY HEARTBREAKER and RAMON CASTELLS.

JUSTICE composes of two graphic design students who came together in 2003. Gaspard Augé and Xavier de Rosnay hit high when they came out with killer track “We Are Your Friends” and more definitive success came in 2007 on Ed Banger records with their album "†" released that same year. Second album “Audio, Video, Disco" came in 2011 while their latest hit “New Lands” has been doing the rounds this summer, keeping them in the spotlight.

French duo and fellow Ed Banger artists Cassius are no strangers to eclectic mixes with synthpop, nu disco, house and a splice of indie creeping into their work. For years Zdar and Boom Bass have remixed, intertwined, produced then played around with tracks like “I Love You So”.

A group that manages to cross dance with punk and everything in-between is New York stars The Rapture who will be laying down a DJ set at Beat & Raw’s closing party with an undiscriminating layer of raw energy, while from the other side of the Atlantic, Scottish pioneers of diversity, adventure and a deep rooted path in showcasing and well as playing music, Optimo, will be making a special appearance.

Bringing to a close a fine run of sets by Beat & Raw’s weekly residents, Oscar, Daisy and Ramon will also be mashing up a cross-genre of sounds this Friday before hanging up their headphones.

Authentic and unafraid to push boundaries, Beat & Raw has redefined a new way to combine a variety of musical styles and music lovers of all ages have come together every Friday as a result.

Don’t miss this closing which will be the climax of the season.
