Never forget: Eight DJs recall their favourite Space Ibiza memories

“So many Space memories come to mind but probably my first ever time both visiting and playing at Space was possibly my most memorable. It was July 1999, I was very young and was booked to play the Discoteca before Carl Cox. Needless to say about 15 of my friends joined me to watch me play, get free drinks and get fully stuck in. After 15 minutes into my set I asked my best mate Alex how it was going and he pointed out the room was going off. I was juggling two copies of a track and playing a third backwards with my hand in time to the music. For some reason Coxy was over two hours late so I got to play four hours and I let rip and really did slay the room, playing Chaka Khan's 'I Feel For You' at one point. With two copies of some odd techno track juggled over it, of course. It was magical and the room erupted on repeat. I’m so happy I'm going to bow out of Space playing the same room on October 3. It’s one the greatest club rooms."

"I've been going to Space since I was about 17 and I'm 33 now so there's a fair few memories. The one that really sticks out was one of the first times going to the club in 2000 or 2001. There was loads of us lads, a few that hadn't been before, a few that had, so it was good vibes. The track I vividly remember being played on the terrace was X-Press 2 'Muzikizum' which I still play loads now. I think it was Jon Carter playing and I remember being with loads of mates, completely in our element, on the dancefloor. I think we were dancing with Sara Cox and Zoë Ball and someone from one of the early Big Brothers. It was a proper surreal experience. I played 'Muzikizum' on my last ever Terrace set at the club just to pay homage to that moment."
