11 DJs tell us how they feel about Space Ibiza closing for good
It's the end of an era
Guy Gerber
In Ibiza there are some parties that run for seventeen years like Cocoon, but at the same time there is a constant change over here. In fact, for two decades Ibiza has become the island of constant change. If I’m being totally honest, I don’t get that excited anymore when things change here. I think it will be the same as every year. It’s going to be warm and it’s going to be great! Of course, it’s sad that Space is closing; I had some of my best moments in this club. But I’m also excited to see what the future will bring. I don’t think it’s necessarily going to be bad.

Personally I think losing Space is a big shame for the island. Recently, I was driving through Bossa with my tour manager after a commercial EDM party had finished and it just looked like people were there to buy an expensive bottle and stand around and chat up girls. It’s an entirely different world to the ethos of underground music and clubbing, which we do. It attracts the VIP culture to the island, which hikes up the price of everything, from clubs' drink prices to accommodation. With Space closing, I fear its replacement will be something which caters more for this kind of clientele. Hopefully the other underground venues on the island will continue to push forward, places like DC10, Amnesia, Underground, and I have to say I still love Sankeys as a venue. Long may these clubs continue to keep the true spirit of Ibiza alive.
