Space
in Ibiza Details...
Space
Club Ibiza, Playa D'en Bossa, Ibiza
Space has its main club base in Playa
d'en Bossa in Ibiza, and put on nights all throughout summer.
It hosts many nights in the summer, and last year hosted Radio
1's infamous 10 Year's in Ibiza Party. Space is without a
doubt one of the top venues, if not the top Club in the World..
History
Opened in 1988, originally as a normal
night-time disco, Space is now the world's most famous Afterhour
club - i.e. it opens early morning after the other clubs have
shut! Now hosting several night-time parties as well, Space
is a very popular venue.
Location
Next to the Waterslide Park in Playa d'en Bossa. 5 Minutes
by taxi from Ibiza Town
Music Policy
From the sublime to the very hard. Funky summer house and
garage is the key to the terrace's success, where you can
sip Vodka Lemons in the sun and chill out with Ibiza's wildest
clubbers. Inside, quality trance and techno lead the way.
A fabulous contrast programme, headed both inside and out
by the world's finest DJs.
Inside Space
Space enjoys something approaching cult status on the world
dance scene. Dedicated clubbers fly in especially for the
opening and closing parties and many world class DJs name
Space as their favourite club. It is located right at the
foot of the runway. As the planes come swooping in, everyone
throws their arms to the sky and screams their head off. Space
has great Djs, cool clubbers, and is open when everywhere
else is shut. Highly recommended.
DJ Mag Club Review...
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.
