A safe party
For the fifth consecutive year, Space Ibiza will have a Professional Nursing Service
Space Ibiza, a club that is always visionary, is also a club that is committed and responsible, as demonstrated by providing a service to its existing nursing professionals, thus becoming the first club in the Balearic Islands, and probably also in Spain that provides health care in a fun environment.
The project started in 2005 in collaboration with Andres García, director for the last two years of Emergency Staff. The purpose was to respond swiftly, and immediately should any unforeseen emergency event occur, ensuring the comfort and welfare of all guests. Why have to go home for a slight nuisance caused by new shoes, when with a plaster at hand on site, you can say goodbye to the problem and continue to enjoy your evening?
Similarly, since the service avoids unnecessary travel to health centres on the island, Space Ibiza is helping to alleviate the activity of some places which are overworked in the summer season because of a growing population, that now reaches point multiply by 10, and consequently, to reduce public spending on public health.
The Professional Nursing Service will again be operating in 2009 and enjoys first class facilities. Empowered to professional effect, the tent has a bathroom and air conditioning, a stretcher-art defibrillator, plus a diploma in Nursing, the only people authorized to use the machine, since the automated law which was enforced in late 2008.
A novel and effective project, now subsequently exported to other dance halls on the island, with Space Ibiza once again demonstrating why it is the best club in the world.
Hospital campaign
In late 2007 Space Ibiza donated to The Red Cross a field hospital, a facility that is useful for the island as the director of the NGO, Rafael Garcia.
This is a fast inflatable installation (in 7 minutes), equipped with six boxes equipped with good health care. Since its donation, the field hospital has been used in several cultural and sporting events that have taken place on the island, three emergency drills.
"We are very grateful to Space Ibiza for an altruistic action that benefits everyone. The hospital has been in the last two editions of Eivissa Medieval and Sample Solidarias Entities in the latter event as a hospital for blood collection. It has also been available to the last of the Salt Route and has been used in a fire drill conducted by the Forestry Department of Emergency and two traffic accidents carried out by firefighters in Ibiza San tunnels San Rafael and figures, "explains the director of Red Cross”.
The hospital will re-settle in the opening party of Space Ibiza, on May 31, until the closure of the 2009 season, on October 4.

Space Ibiza & DJ Top 100 Clubs'09
DJ MAG has published ‘DJMAG Top 100 Clubs 2009’ and Space Ibiza gest back to win keeping the third position in the prestigious ranking. An absolutely honour for the Club. There is still no club in the world quite like Ibiza's Space. A sprawling temple of hedonism, its labyrinth layout never fails to command both shock and awe in those navigating it for the first time with six separate arenas all offering their own distinct vibes. Recent additions like the intimate club confines of La Caja Roja (the Red Box), the al fresco vibes of La Premier Etage and El Salon's reclining Balearic lounge are all blessed with charm and style, but it is undoubtedly the twin bastions of Le Terrazza and Le Discoteca that drive the club.
A vast centrepiece that James Zabiela once described as “a journey to the centre of the Earth”, the combustible explosions that bear witness in the engulfing 2000-capacity main room - Le Discoteca - are as routinely ecstatic as any club on the planet.
Admittedly, the open-air raving of the old terrace may exist in folklore alone, but the partly covered Sunset Terrace remains a smile-populated vestige to the original Ibiza experience, whilst the new terrace - Le Terrazza - has carved a legend of its own thanks to impeccable programming and a crystal clear Funktion One soundsystem.
Nights like Tuesday's Carl Cox & Friends remain island favourites but it is undoubtedly the venue's Sunday flagship - We Love - that has left the biggest impression on the island's musical landscape over the past decade. Each one a mini-festival in its own right, Jeff Mills, Laurent Garnier, 2Many DJs, Marky, Chip and even The Chemical Brothers played We Love's diverse 16-hour marathon at some point last season.
Indeed, as We Love resident Paul Woolford puts it, everybody in clubland seems to have a story from Space - be it an eternally unforgettable dancefloor experience, a chance meeting or an impossibly debauched clubbing marathon. The terrace is renowned for being the place where people inexplicably meet their long lost best mate from primary school or future wife/husband, whilst the venue as a whole remains one of the few where DJs themselves routinely get lost in the hedonistic abandon of the party.
Carl Cox describes it as “the Roll's Royce of clubbing”, whilst both Yousef and Steve Lawler claim to have enjoyed just as many epic nights at Space as clubbers as DJs.
”Space is a club that has seen so many late nights that you'd be hard pressed to find any real clubber who doesn't have some hazy memories of its madness burnt into their synapses”, confirms Paul Woolford.
”People from all walks of life and musical preferences find themselves here at some point each summer and this gives the night an unexpected air, as you never know who you might bump into”.
”As for how it feels to play there, when everything's right there is nothing like it. It's an incredible club with killer sound, lovely staff and an unbeatable vibe”. Celebrating an impressive 20 years this summer, Space remains the jewel in the crown of acid house's original clubbing Mecca.

Space: Best Spanish Club
Yet again Space starts the new year with another accolade: ‘Best Spanish Club 2008’ awarded by Deejay mags. Space´s track record seems to grow and grow every year including four trophies in five years like ‘Best global club’These awards are understood and accepted with gratitude from the directors and staff of Space, who realise that they are the result of hard work and passion for the industry. "I would like to specify we have never looked for these recognitions. We have a musical, commercial and social line respected in all moments. When you work in a project, looking forward to guess trends and the public’s desires, giving your best and getting excited, then results like this may arrive", said Pepe Roselló, Space owner and founder, in an interview realised some time ago.
Space represents music. It’s a club who likes risks and innovation, always in the avant-garde, just what readers of this official dance magazine and clubbers alike, feel and believe which showed last 4th of February in the evening during the celebrations in Teatro Kapital, in Madrid.
The award ceremony, sponsored by Ron Barceló and Pioneer, was packed with numerous known faces of the international electronic scene. Good music, good fun, other winners included: Cristian Valera, ‘Best Techno DJ’ and Wally López, ‘Best Techno House DJ’. A vibrant edition where Ibiza was also awarded for one of its great independent radio stations: Ibiza Global Radio.
So then, onwards and upwards!
Space starts the year which is in fact the 20th anniversary. A season more proving that this institution is willing to make changes and take risks and already 2009 is shaping up to be another fantastic summer.

Space Ibiza 20th Anniversary party at Mission
The world’s most revered club celebrated its 20th anniversary in August with its best season yet... to help celebrate Space Ibiza hosted a special 20th anniversary party at Mission Nightclub in Leeds. Mission was the perfect club to help us celebrate, since its major refurbishment in 2006, the club´s popularity has reached new heights. Tonight was also the highly anticipated re-opening of the club for all the students who had returned after the summer... On arriving at the club, the first you notice is the long queue of clubbers eager to get in and experience the magical Space Ibiza vibe. The club has been totally transformed for the night, massive Space posters outside the club and all along the street, and chic white drapes in the main room, giving it a magical Space feel. Warming up the crowd is local resident DJ Josh Demello with an excellent funky house set, setting the scene for Camilo. Camilo played a full-on house set, which included all the Space Ibiza anthems from the summer, following Camilo was Smokin Jo, who has been an intergral part of Space Ibiza since 1993.
Smokin Jo is one of the most talented DJs to emerge from the British dance music scene. Jo’s undeniably cutting edge sound has carved her a niche in clubland, and tonight was no different. She started off with a house sound which gradually got tougher and more minimal, which was definitely one of the more tougher sets Mission has seen in a while, but the crowd loved it! The dancefloor was packed, with a sea of hands in the air appreciating the pulsating rhythm.
The night definitely captured a real Space Ibiza party atmosphere; with stunning decor, dancers, stilt walkers and Space Ibiza visuals, which made you feel like you were in Space, dancing in the flight arena. Mission and Space Ibiza, definitely a winning combination!
See you @ Mission again in November. DJs and date to be announced shortly.

Space Ibiza en The Image
Volverán las oscuras golondrinas en tu balcón sus nidos a colgar y, otra vez, con el ala en tus cristales jugando llamarán…
Mientras que Space Ibiza anda envuelto en el brainstorming para un fin de fiesta espectacular –el próximo 27 de septiembre-, otros ultiman los detalles de su programación para el otoño, en pista de salida. Es el caso de The Image, uno de esos clubs cool a los que sólo inspiran la calidad, el diseño y la exclusividad, razones que justifican y alimentan la estrecha relación que el Club de Playa d’en Bossa mantiene con la sala bilbaína desde hace algún tiempo.
Tras dos años de exitosa residencia, Space Ibiza inaugura en The Image su tercera temporada el 17 de octubre con Jonathan Ulysses, uno de los esenciales de Space, estrechamente y largamente vinculado al club, estrella de Monday’s Calling y residente de We Love Space Sundays, donde cada domingo la Sunset se rinde a su energía musical y dinamismo baleárico. El inglés define su música como up-tempo, house music con un toque de percusión española, el estilo perfecto para las noches frescas y bailongas que tanto gustan a The Image y donde en raras ocasiones el bitch sobrepasa las 125bpm.
Además de pinchar, Jonathan Ulysses produce. Meter Brown, Prok & Fitch, Juan Kidd y The Beatthiefs son algunos de los artistas con los que viene trabajando en los últimos meses y cuyos resultados se lanzarán en los sellos Big in Ibiza, Nervous y Jay Funk, entre otros; tracks que se lanzarán en los sellos Big in Ibiza, Nervous y Jay Funk, entre otros.
A ésta seguirán otras citas. Space Ibiza volverá a Bilbao, siempre un placer, porque además de buena música una visita a la ciudad del Guggenheim siempre nos permitirá disfrutar de la experiencia del arte contemporáneo. El Museo diseñado por el canadiense Frank O. Gehry ofrece una retrospectiva del Cai Guo Quiang: Quiero creer, donde se aborda el espectro el complejo espectro conceptual, cambiante y multimedia del artista chino.
Space, Ibiza, The Image, Bilbao y tú. ¡Toma nota: el 17 de octubre!

En Sri Lanka con Elio Riso
Elio Riso, residente de be, la fiesta que está rompiendo moldes este verano en Ibiza, viajó a principios de agosto hasta la lejana Sri Lanka, destino turístico de fama mundial por la belleza de sus bosques tropicales, sus playas y sus paisajes, sin olvidar por supuesto su riquísimo patrimonio cultural. En contra de lo que a priori pudiera pensarse, la ‘La isla de los mil nombres’ o la también llamada ‘Lágrima de la India’, es un país poseedor de una moderna economía industrial, gran productor y exportador de té, café, caucho y coco. Un país con la más alta renta per cápita de todo el Asia Meridional que, a tenor de lo que nuestro entrevistado vio y experimentó, gusta y disfruta de la electrónica. Sri Lanka, un punto y seguido en el proyecto Space on Tour. Nos lo cuenta Elio Riso.Has viajado a Sri Lanka con Space on Tour. ¿Cómo fue la experiencia?
La experiencia fue particular, conocer lugares, viajar llevando a Space por el mundo siempre es bueno para mí. Siento mucho placer de que la gente pueda vivir la experiencia musical de esta discoteca tan importante.
¿Cómo fue la bienvenida de la gente?
Son muy serviciales, estaban ansiosos de poder sentir la magia de Ibiza transladada de una isla a otra isla, había una energía especial y estaban muy bien informados. Ahora con Internet todo queda cerca, todo llega y todo se sabe.
Musicalmente, ¿cómo te sentiste?
Digamos que Sri Lanka aún está en los albores de la música electrónica. Por suerte han podido entender mi estilo musical y resultó ser positivo. Al principio fue tratar de interpretar a la gente y terminé poniendo casi todas mis producciones.
¿Un momento para recordar de tu viaje a Sri Lanka?
El regreso de la fiesta al hotel, el chófer no atendía su móvil y tuvimos que volver en Tuc- Tuc. ¡Un momento inolvidable!
Por cierto, ¿cómo defines tu estilo musical?
A veces pienso que no tengo un estilo definido; la experiencia me hace ver dónde estoy y qué debo hacer en el momento que tengo que pinchar, ya que para cada ocasión uno tiene que estar observando la pista y saber qué lugar ocupar. Respeto mucho si tras de mí viene un DJ de renombre, como ocurrió el pasado julio en Join our Revolution cuando Carl Cox me pidió que le hiciese el warm-up a Moby. En esta ocasión tuve que hacer un trabajo más ecléctico. En cambio, en mis sesiones be es donde puedo conectar con la gente al poner mi estilo musical, que es Groove & Tech-House. Lo único que no cambia, pinche donde pinche e indistintamente del orden, es que siempre trato de que todas mis sesiones sean diferentes; me divierte poner tracks que nunca he pinchado y ver la reacción de la gente.
Háblanos de tus planes para el mes que acabamos de estrenar.
Estaré en be todos los jueves hasta el closing, el 24 de septiembre. También participaré del closing de Join our Revolution, en la Sunset reemplazando a Carl Cox, que se hará un especial set de seis horas en la Main Room. La temporada concluirá al ritmo de Space, con su Closing Party, que como todos sabéis este año será el 27 de septiembre conjuntamente con We Love. En el Grand Closing volveré a repetir en la Flight Area.
¿Habrá más Space on Tour? ¿Dispuesto a repetir la experiencia?
Claro… Pronto me verán allí donde vivan. Space on Tour se mueve, y a mí me encanta viajar. ¡Nos vemos!
