15 Years of DJmag Ibiza Party: line-up announced...

Today's the day... the line up has finally been revealed for our 15 year anniversary party at Space! On Thursday 1st July we will be taking over the world class superclub and packing it to the rafters with some of the finest DJs around...


BOOKA SHADE
DERRICK CARTER
METRO AREA
SPOOKY
SILICONE SOUL
TENSNAKE
MARTINEZ BROTHERS


After much discussion and excitement in the office plans are finally set in stone for what will no doubt be one of the most long awaited nights of the season. And, of course, there's no doubt that our 15 year stint providing the island with free copies of our balearic counterpart will be commemorated with a bang.

And as the first issue of the two summer editions touches down on the same date, there will be extra reason to celebrate ahead of what is looking like the most promising season for the last few years.

With new nights cropping up left, right and centre, Kehakuma @ Space, Cadenza @ Pacha, Amnesia Presents vs People from Ibiza to name a few, let alone the long awaited reopening of the legendary DC10 and their Circoloco party, change is most definitely afoot on the white isle.

Also, this season sees successful night Monza move from Privilege to it's new home of Cova Santa, a seemingly unusual choice as it's actually an outdoor bar/restaurant not too far from Ibiza airport, which could go one of two ways with it's far out location... time will tell but fingers crossed they pull this off as their line ups have been some of the islands most consistent in recent times.

And as more and more people set up villa and secret parties around Ibiza by the minute, there definitely looks set to be some interesting things cropping up further afield. It does seem that the best place to rave right now is well out of the way of public areas in reaction to the ever more well policed afterparty laws, so it's definitely the season to keep your ears to the ground and your taxi money well topped up.

So here we go, only a week until the openings begin, and just over a month until our HUGE 15 Year anniversary shindig at Space!


See you on the island,

DJmag
