Tara's Ibiza review 13th-20th July 2002

 

13th July- Took a trip in the evening to Cafe Del Mar where we met 2 really cool guys, Stu and Michael from Manchester. To ease our way into Ibiza we decided to spend the night in the infamous West End where we ended up at a cute little dance club called “Play 2.” The music was quite good, generally commercial trance but a few dodgy funky house tunes and way too many pissed up lager lads about. Soph spent about 3 hours straight on the podium and ended up stripping to just her bikini!!! After the club we went down to Zinema bar where me and Soph slaughtered the kareoke with our pathetic version of Madonna’s “Like a prayer.” At least we made the crowd smile.

Michael was SO mashed and began chatting bollox about housewives and crabs crossing the road?! Soph later informs me of the bollox I’d been chatting while in bed and it was much worse!

 

14th July- Judgement Sunday@Eden.

Jules what can I say, possibly the worst set of yah’ life, never heard such bulls**t. Ferry Corsten wasn’t too bad but didn’t play for very long. The best part of the night was when they put this HUGE sheet over the dance floor and it was like everyone was dancing in a tent?! Hard to describe but f**king amazing!

 

15th July- Manumission@Privilege.

We didn’t get in ‘til quite late coz the bus queues were awful! Also got our camera’s taken off us so no piccies either! Music seemed to be very funky and NOT my taste at all. Love the venue, the pool, dome, terraces etc were really unusual. There was a bizarre performance of Madonna’s “Like a prayer” by the dancers and some other circus stylee acts then guess what happened.........................power cut! The lights and music blew in the main room so me and Soph spent the next hour or so dancing in the toilet, the DJ in there was really cool! John Kelly came on later and played banging trance as usual and then we met AussieCam who suprisingly recognises us out of 10,000 people?! We had planned to go to the Space after party but after seeing the queues for the bus we decided to give it a miss!

 

16th July- Soph decided to have an early one and went to the Garlands party. I went with the boys to God's Kitchen@Eden and its by far the best night of the week! Jon “00” Fleming played some amazing warm up tunes then Armin Van Buuren played one of the best sets I’ve heard in ages! Fergie came on towards the end but he is way too hard for ny liking but by then I was pretty much done and dusted anyway!I loved all the crazy special effects. They had this massive ice blaster thing that was pumping throughtout the night, what a mental experience!

 

17th July- Slinky@Es Paradis.

It was a quiet night for Es Paradis but it was nice to have space to dance for a change. The music was great especially John Kelly and me and Soph went dressed as nurses which got a lot of attention as you can imagine!

 

18th July- Went and watched the most spectacular sunset at Cafe Del Mar before heading to Cream@Amnesia. Tiesto played a great set although seemed to over do some of his album tracks a bit. Paul Van Dyk was good but I’ve heard him play better. The worst thing about the night was that it was way too over crowded as I’m sure Soph will back me up on coz she spent the whole night sat down! It was pretty much impossible to move, let alone dance which was a shame as the music was great.

 

19th July- We went up the West End in the evening to do some last minute shopping but decided we were too tired to do any proper clubbing. Had an earlyish night but couldn’t sleep the dam piss heads next door wouldn’t shut up!

 

What an amazing holiday, can’t wait to do it all again with the CTW crew next month!
