12 new parties that are hitting Ibiza this season
It's set to be the biggest summer on record on the White Isle. Here's why
11 Wild Life
DC10 - Every Friday - July 21 to August 11
Sibling superstars Disclosure launched their Wild Life festival brand back in 2015. Since then, they’ve staged a number of massive outdoor events across the globe, most notably in Brooklyn, New York, and much closer to home at Brighton City Airport. This summer, the duo have their sights set on conquering Ibiza. The only surprise, it seems, is the fact that Disclosure’s Wild Life takeovers will be held at DC10. It’s a booking that raised a few eyebrows on the island when it was first announced, with a small section of purists calling into question Disclosure’s dissident pedigree. Evidently, the doubters didn’t catch the Lawrence brothers dropping tech-tinted house music bombs at a roadblocked Circo Loco last summer.
12 Audio Rehab
Eden - Every Wednesday - June 14 to September 27
Serious house and tech afficiados looking to hang in San Antonio this summer finally have something to cheer about. Following hot on the heels of Defected, who return to Balearic party action at Eden, and Do Not Sleep, who host a brand-new daytime pool party at Ibiza Rocks, burgeoning underground brand Audio Rehab will also be based in San Antonio this summer. What’s the deal musically? Well, the full Audio Rehab experience at Ministry Of Sound always includes plenty of growling basslines and dark ghetto grooves. In the booth, headline acts like Flashmob share the roster with fresh new talent. It’s a contemporary rave combination that should go down well with the transient summer hordes, not to mention San Antonio’s immensely influential workers population.
