Ibiza has a history of bringing people together, of facilitating collaborations and of reminding people of the true spirit behind the movement that would become the dance music scene. The spirit of togetherness, of people gathering wherever they could and enjoying music, partying in the truest sense. These days, as VIP clients claim more and more space from the dancefloor, it is perhaps more important to remember this spirit and on Thursday night in Playa d’en Bossa, two of the biggest DJs and parties in the world showed why Ibiza is the unique clubbing destination that we love so much. Luciano and Richie Hawtin combined their Cadenza and Enter parties to deliver a party that ran from 5pm until 7am across two clubs, with a multitude of talented DJs, giving Ibiza clubbers an experience that will live with them forever!
First up is Ushuaia and possibly the finest pre-club venue on the planet. The outdoor stage and the fact that the party runs from daytime into night offers the perfect place to catch some of the world’s finest DJs and really set yourself up for an all night clubbing session. Gaiser and Ernest Ferreyra b2b with Barem all play their part but if truth be told it’s all about the face off, Luciano vs Richie Hawton, and the roar that goes up when the duo take to the stage confirms it. The massive screens in front and behind the new look booth leave no one in any confusion as to who is now playing as the duo tear through some amazing club nuggets, keeping the huge crowd on its toes.
When the last tune finally fades out and the roars die down it’s out through the pink tunnel across the road and into the black tunnel before entering Space for part two of the colossal collaboration. The discoteca is where the face off continues but Enter still has Kehakuma, Air and Sake operating with a cast that includes the likes of Magda, Valentino Kanzyani, Reboot (Live), Andrea Oliva, Remo, Matthew Hawtin, Luke Hess (Live), Marc Houle, Troy Pierce &, Magda and Hito. Plenty of options for those who want to explore a change of pace throughout the night. For us, however, it was main room madness for the second instalment of the duel. Heartthrob and Hobo provide wicked warm up sets before the deadly duo go head to head once more. This time, on Hawtin’s turf, the tempo is slightly higher, the beats are slightly deeper but the reaction from the massive crowd is exactly the same!
