"Your love will remain here forever": Space Ibiza closes in style
We partied for 19 hours. Here's what happened
5 Der Dritte Raum 'Hale Bopp'
Back to El Salon for a breather after the madness of the Flight Arena outside and who better to give us some much needed energy than Richie Hawtin's partner-in-crime and all round techno don John Acquaviva. The Plus 8 co-founder embraces the tactic that everyone else is employing for the night and hits out a mixture of pounders and classics.
A few nice house jams follow, particularly Dimitri From Tokyo's disco-twinged 'Sfunky' that came out via Disco Deviance. A connoisseurs choice of groover, it brings smiles around the room and even those who are slumped at the back manage to raise a hand with the rest of the crowd. But it is another, harder-edged classic that is John's highlight and a nod to the techno that's made his name. The 135bpm 'Hale Bopp' is a German classic and once he pitched it down, it morphs into a frenetic workout that wasn't completely impossible to dance to. Oh the joy to hear that track on a Space system. An undercover classic.
