No one likes to say goodbye, much less to their favorite party. Although, this time there was nothing sad about saying “goodbye”, on the contrary… it was a celebration!

On Monday, August 28^th Ferry Corsten returned to give everything as he did during each of his event dates at Clandestin pres. Full On Ibiza. Here are a few reasons so we hold on to the best memories:

1. Ferry Corsten never fails. One of the best exponents of Trance is Ferry Corsten, which is indisputable. If we also add to that statement, all the love and smiles he gives during all of his sessions, then we would entirely be captivated by his professionalism and personality. The Dutchman’s charisma shone again on Monday as expected. He couldn’t stop thanking his fans for their support during the season.

2. Short but intense. Summer has flown by and we barely caught all of it. It has always been said that when something happens fast it’s because you’ve enjoyed the most of it. Some sessions of 2015 have also become too terse, like Lucky Charmes who served as a warm-up to Bassjackers.

3. Commitment to talent from around the globe. Our language is music, we don’t care about the flags and nationalities. All DJs are welcome to Clandestin pres. Full On Ibiza. A great example is the Egyptian Aly & Fila, regulars of the night, presented at 04:15h their last hit ‘Napoleon’.

4. Youth are the future. You have to make way for the new generations and learn from these veterans. The duo who has just arrived from the TomorrowWorld festival, Bassjackers, entertained the evening with a strong set that highlighted their latest track, ‘Memories’.

5. We’ll always have the Sunset Terrace. DJ Ramón Castells has been faithful to the Monday party. Every night he has played the most diverse music and has helped give Trance lovers another option.

6. THIS DOES NOT STOP HERE. No one is going to be sad… Clandestin pres. Full On Ibiza is here to stay. We will reunite soon enough, but until then visit the Space Ibizawebsite to recall the best times of your life. Trance will return to roar!

The Vagabundos 2015 season closed off last night at Space Ibiza with a goodbye party full of energy and great vibes: Luciano and his gang looked back upon the summer on the Island with a big grin on their faces, enjoying the last dance of this leg of gigs.

The Cadenza man himself gave 110% on stage, his relentless clapping and waving unstoppable as his music: showcasing his selection of fat bass lines and synth melodies mixed with grooves, beats, a cappellas, shakers, congas, choirs and swings, Luciano made everyone move their body to the rhythm.

Ryan Crosson’s blend of House and Techno is inspired by the historical precedent set in his native city of Detroit and his adopted hometown of Berlin. His musical output is shaped by pioneering artists like Richie Hawtin, Kevin Saunderson and Moodymann in the US, in addition to European heavyweights like Pantytec, Ricardo Villalobos, and Thomas Brinkmann.

Situated loosely between these two defining poles, alongside his partners in Visionquest - Shaun Reeves, Seth Troxler and Lee Curtiss - Ryan delivers an obsessive attention to the constant progression of his sound and embodies a ceaseless energy that carries itself from the studio directly into his live set and DJ performances. Last night we had another proof of his amazing artistic skills with one heck of a set.

Meanwhile, Valentino Kanzyani warmed up the room with a catchy selection of underground Techno mixed with some old school favourites. Michel Cleis’s penchant for creating summer hits struck again in 2015: his Marvinello track co-produced with Klement Bonelli has already been described by Mixmag as “The Track Of The Summer”: taking inspiration from an old Marvin Gaye song, its absolute catchiness makes it a total dance floor monster. Sir Pete Tong himself gave this massive airplay last year and this summer again, creating a huge buzz for it. The track is out now on Rebirth…. Grab it and you won’t regret it!! Needles to say, when he played it last night in the Sunset Room, it went off with a blast, with the people on the dance floor going totally nuts.

Dani Casarano’s role as Melisma’s A&R, a label that has become a synonym of emotive soulful Minimal Techno, which counts on artists like Ricardo Villalobos, Thomas Melchior, Fumiya Tanaka and Satoshi Tomiie among its contributors and avid supporters, showed up in the sophisticated lush funky sounds and earthly Latin American undertones of his set, which truly captured the essential combination of tribal rhythms, perpetual swings and seductive musicality.

Cadenza’s rising talent and Nordstern Basel resident Gianni Callipari warmed up the Sunset Room early on to great effect: his deep, synth-infused melodies were spot on for the time he hit the stage. Throwing in some still unreleased material from his upcoming Cadenza EP was a great move: the crowd gave an enthusiastic response to the tracks, so things are looking good for the young DJ and Producer right now.

We are looking forward to next season. Till this moment, remember… Vagabundos they name us, Vagabundos they call us,Vagabundos weare! See you in 2016!

Since its debut last summer, Glitterbox has caught the attention of island locals, in the know clubbers, and Ibizan and international media. This season’s move to Space Ibiza offered a bigger home for those looking for a night built around the best classic and contemporary house and disco. In this regard (and beyond), Glitterbox has fulfilled its promise of offering something different, providing a place where DJs – many of whom requested to play – can spin records they can’t drop anywhere else, and to a crowd that doesn’t expect promo priorities or the latest hype tunes.

The highlights and memories have been many - Fatboy Slim and Basement Jaxx’s sets in August, Hercules & Love Affair’s live shows, Louie Vega jamming with Barbara Tucker (http://on.fb.me/1io72ME), Juan MacLean’s ‘A Simple Design’ becoming the Glitterbox anthem, and the visual highlights provided by the Sink The Pink crews are just some of them. But the constant has been the vibe in the club; with the transformative power of house music written on each and every face, Glitterbox has earned a reputation as the happiest dancefloor in Ibiza.

It’s been an incredible season, with good vibes from all quarters! Here are just a selection of the glowing reviews that have come Glitterbox’s way over the last few months:

“Glitterbox is saving Ibiza’s soul one disco record at a time” Vice/Thump

“Decadent… One hell of a party” Time Out

“Legendary” iD

"Revered in its first season for starting something special, Glitterbox’s opening party glittered from start to finish, it’s clear this will be another special season for the party which feeds the soul of music-lovers who like to dig a little deeper.” Ibiza Spotlight

“Glitterbox, you are what dreams are made of. And long may they continue.” Skiddle

"Easily one of the most genuinely fun times we've had out of all the opening parties." Pulse Radio

"A party that unites the tribes, from the glamorous chicas in their 5 inch heels to the cool club kids." Essential Ibiza

See you in 2016!

It’s hard to believe another Ibiza season is coming to an end, but after 11 amazing weeks at Space, including some of the busiest and biggest nights in Carl’s 14 year history, his 2015 residency goes out with a bang this Tuesday.

Music Is Revolution – The Next Phase, closes 22^nd September, ending the season in style with Carl at the helm, joined by Desolat’s revered head honcho Loco Dice and tINI and on the terrace America’s house gangster DJ Sneak, Monika Kruse and the illustrious Just Be.

Carl Cox:

“This has to be the most unreal thing - I have held down the residency at Space for 14 years and with everything that has been going on in Ibiza this year we have had our best year ever.

The response from the people has just been phenomenal. There are so many places you could go in Ibiza but so many people choose to come to our night based on what we give. I have loved every minute I have played - when I am behind those decks looking at that room it’s not only electric but it’s everything I have ever wanted as a DJ.”

Lynn Cosgrave, Safehouse:

“We have had an amazing season this year, the best in 14 years which stands testimony to Carl, the other great talent that was booked and has been booked.  I also think it shows that if you stick to your moral values you will always succeed. Well done Safehouse Ibiza Team too!”

Since the opening party on July 7^th, thousands of music-savvy clubbers from all over the world have packed out Space week after week, to witness an unparalleled array of DJ talent, confirming Carl’s residency is still one of the most popular nights on the island. Throughout the 14 year history Carl and Safehouse have cemented themselves as one of the industry’s top talent spotters and boldest programmers in Ibiza.

WetYourSelf! returns to Space Ibiza for its closing party on Thursday October 1st, with a very special guest: Derrick May!

With only one more show to go for the season, Cadenza Vagabundos returned to Space Ibiza yesterday for a roaring night, with Luciano welcoming Mirko Loko and Chica Paula in the Vagabundos Room and with Alter Ego hosting the Sunset Room. Cadenza rising star gAS took over the Premiere Etage all night long.

Luciano’s set was truly emotional as he dedicated his 3 hours of music to his beloved Chile, which got struck by a mammoth earthquake on Wednesday Sep. 17th in the Coquimbo region, causing several casualties and more than 1 million people fleeing from their homes. He also posted a video on his Facebook page to send his positive thoughts to the human beings caught in this tragedy.

Meanwhile, Mirko Loko’s Live Set showcased his unique style of layers, polyrhythms, shifting moods of dark and light, highclass and low-slung melodies, a look back upon his decade long list of releases on labels like Border Community, Wagon Repair, Planet E, Desolat and Visionquest.

Chica Paula’s bold fusion between fairytale-like Ambient, House, Techno and Electropop proved to be a winning formula last night, and the people in the Terrace truly enjoyed her warm up set as something different and quite unexpected.

Italian rising star gAS entertained the crowds with his Deep melodies and catchy grooves all night long on the Premiere Etage. His Split EP on Cadenza was released at the beginning of August to enthusiastic reviews, and the guy lived up to that with a selection taking in the best of the last 20 years in House Music.

The Sunset Room was hosted by Alter Ego last night: Hope Recordings A&R man and former Tour DJ for Massive Attack Nick Warren was on the decks, emanating a perfect club mix of driving percussions and soaring musicality, soaking everyone in melody, drenching them in sound.

Israeli Guy J has established himself as a very sophisticated and emotive producer in Electronic Music, whether it be his sensual, hypnotic take on House Music, his deeply textured Techno or his wondrous Ambient material, his work always touches with a magic and emotion that few rival.

Recognized as a leading light in the ever-growing Tel Aviv underground music scene, Guy Mantzur is also the highly respected resident DJ at the city’s most popular club - The Cat & The Dog – where his unique style and unrivaled technique allow him to regularly play alongside a very diverse selection of international stars. As a result, Guy’s skills behind the decks have recently been recognized at the prestigious XL Awards, where he received the accolade of “Israel’s Best Underground DJ 2013”.

DJing from the age of 11, James Gill has played in some of the US East Coast’s biggest clubs alongside major international talent. A trained audio engineer and studio producer, his productions are supported by numerous underground artists. His 2015 release “Solarium” on Hernan Cattaneo’s Sudbeat Recordings saw a turning point for his original work, and his unmistakable flow during his sets has impressed crowds from the USA to Europe. Luciano, Valentino Kanzyani, Ryan Crosson, Michel Cleis and more guests will say goodbye to this season on Sunday 27th September. Join them and buy your tickets for Vagabundos at Space Ibiza.

For their penultimate party of the season, Glitterbox brought another diverse and quality-heavy line up to Space Ibiza, as Soul Clap, Breakbot, Joey Negro, Juan MacLean and DJ Antz provided a night high on thrills, with House and Disco anthems aplenty.

Warming things up on the Terrace, Breakbot romped through a selection of his exceptional edits and remixes, with tracks of particular note including his reworkings of Busy P’s ‘This Song’ and Matthew Dear’s 2010 ‘You Put a Smell On Me’ – both of which went down incredibly well with the steadily building Glitterbox faithful.

By now, Savage’s latest dance crew Nutbags had begun to infiltrate the dancefloor, their relentless energy and outrageous costumes proving an infectious foil to the positive musical vibes emanating from behind the decks. Nutbags made their Ibiza debut last week, and have already made a significant impression on the White Isle. By this point, Juan MacLean – another Glitterbox favourite – had taken over from Breakbot, initially lowering the tempo with a few Underground House cuts before raising the roof with Purple Disco Machine’s remix of his own ‘A Simple Design’: the party had most definitely started, and by the time Joey Negro took to the decks, the Terrace dancefloor was jumping.

Joey Negro worked his way skilfully thorough a selection of Disco and soulful House, demonstrating his rich musical heritage with his selections. Ron Basejam ‘When I Hear That Music’, Jimmy The Twin ‘Midnight Shuffle’ and Eli Escobar ‘Seein You’ were dropping in quick succession, before he laid waste to the dancefloor with the anthemic Jim Burgess mix of Change ‘A Lover’s Holiday’.

By the time this week’s headliners Soul Clap stepped up to make their Glitterbox debut, the atmosphere inside space was electric. The duo romped through a bumpin selection of Funk-influenced House, and brought a fitting finale to another amazing Glitterbox night. Now only the closing remains… Buy your tickets and enjoy the last party of the season with Dimitri From Paris, Todd Terry and many more artists on Friday 25th September.

The countdown is well and truly on with us now having completed 11 out of 12 parties! Yet again all roads were pointing towards Space Ibiza on Tuesday as the line up was another A-list affair.

As always the Ibiza Sonica crew were hosting the Sunset Terrace from early doors, Karlos Sense started off the proceedings followed by Berlin based duo by the name of Pan-Pot. This pair really kicked off the night in style, quality house from the offset, which lead easily into Mo’funk having the honour of closing the Terrace.

Over in the Main Room Jon Rundell was the man in charge of warm up duties.  Jon has been friends of the Carl Cox family for some time and is a regular at Space and also the Carl Cox parties across the globe. As always Jon produced another great set, starting off with some really nice tech house and finally winding into his trademark techno sound.

Up next in the Main Room and onto their second set of the night was Pan-Pot. Tassilo and Thomas worked this trusty main room crowd from the very first beat, relentless to the end this was another fantastic set from another set of Carl Cox regulars. The boys really set the tone ready for the main attraction, Carl Cox.

As always when the clock strikes 3am the big man takes his place to take Main Room crowd on another journey. Some faces in the crowd are first time Carl Cox goers, some are regulars coming week in week out and some are here just for that week holiday. Whichever one, the experience is always the same.

Over on the covered Terrace another firm favourite to the Carl Cox camp was Yousef and his Circus brand. David Glass was back again and in charge of getting the room ready for Yousef and Eats Everything who will play b2b until the end. David warmed the Terrace up with ease on Tuesday, quality House until the end to a now packed Terrace dance floor. As we got to 2am Yousef and Eats Everything were now in charge of destroying the Terrace and that’s exactly what they did. Pounding House and Tech House rattled the sound system for over 3 hours and for us, this was one of the highlights of the season.

Up on the Premier Etage floor, Burn Residency were in control all night long with Henri Matisse and he was joined by competition winner Samantha. Down over in the trusty El Salon room the Digital Groove boys with Birds In The Basement, Derek Mcnee, Woody and Mikey Duncan took the night into very early hours.

Another fantastic night here at Space Ibiza and Carl Cox and with only one more Tuesday until the final curtain you would crazy to miss it… Loco Dice, tINI, Dj Sneak, Monika Kruse and Just Be will all be in the house next 22nd September. Buy your tickets for the last Music Is Revolution party of the season. #OhYesOhYes
