We chatted with Carlos ( no last name), who just arrived to Ibiza and who's attended every kind of electronic music event this year. He arrived two days ago from Sonar in Barcelona, and according to him ( and many of your facebook status updates) it was probably one of the best ones ever.
We were very curious to ask him about his thoughts on a few of the events we attended last night here in Ibiza, particularly since there is so much talk on how the 'crisis' will be affecting the white island this year.
Do you think it was worth paying 50 Euros to go to Pacha for Swedish House Mafia?
Although the music was really good, I will not go back. Its not even about the money but if your going to pay an entrance like that and 15 Euros for watered down drinks, I would rather go somewhere else. Besides the crowd was one of the worst crowds I have seen in a long time. People with no style, if you want to experience the typical "aybeetha" atmosphere then this is your best bet, but it was a huge disapointment.
Your opinion on 10 Years of Cocoon Ibiza with Hawtin, Magda & Villalobos?
Thats what makes it worth it to come to Ibiza. Not only was the music incredible ( and we really have to agree with Carlos on that, Villalobos was truly out of this world) you could tell the crowd was there purely for the music and enjoying every second of it. Great space, awesome terrace, and really fun people.
Author's note * I believe the midget from Twin Peaks was part of the entertainment, enough said.
10 Years Cocoon Ibiza
The story of Sven Väth, Cocoon and especially Ibiza has been told in so many ways and so many times over the last few years, with interviews, press releases, party reviews, bulletin boards and much more which does not actually leave much room for additions. Cocoon Ibiza is, and remains, one of the cornerstones of the Ibizan party universe that is calling out for the island's invasion every summer. The fact that we are now approaching our tenth year was not something that anybody would honestly have imagined after the first very hard years. So the tenth year is a year for us to say thank you!
This year, the uncompromising musical path that Cocoon has stood for over the last ten years will be, of course, continued and even refined. With Reboot from Offenbach, Federico Molinari from the Frankfurt-based label "Oslo", Livio & Roby from Romania, British Tech House superstar Radio Slave, German shooting star Nick Curly plus the French Guillaume & the Coutu Dumonts and the Chilean Jose Luis Ordenes a.k.a Umho, we are happy to welcome several exemplary new acts that stand for the current development of House and Techno. Among these newcomers, the live set of Joris Voorn represents a very special highlight. Cocoon head Sven Väth is hosting the Cocoon night – believe it or not – 13 times this year and many of our residents from past years will be behind the decks again. Loco Dice is to play five times, one with his long-time production partner Martin Buttrich; Richie Hawtin is our guest three times and will be hosting a special Minus night with Magda, Barem and Gaiser Live. Marco Carola can't be left out of course and will be playing twice. Ricardo Villalobos plays the decisive role on the Amnesia terrace with seven performances of his unique magical sound – among others, he has booked Chicago House legend DJ Sneak.
Besides the well-known Cocoon and CocoonClub artists André Galluzzi, C-Rock, Chris Tietjen, Frank Lorber, Karotte and Tobi Neumann, we welcome Markus Fix and Cassy, two new entrants to Cocoon Booking, and with Dorian Paic, Dubfire, Josh Wink, Luciano, Matthias Kaden, Onur Özer, Raresh, Tiefschwarz, Vera and Zip, all the friends of Cocoon are on the White Island again – not to miss our two Ibiza residents Arian and MarT from Amnesia.
