"Your love will remain here forever": Space Ibiza closes in style
We partied for 19 hours. Here's what happened
10 John Paul Young 'Love Is In The Air'
As Sasha finishes we find ourselves in the dreaded 'clash' hours. Every room has something to offer, making for some tough decisions. Erick Morillo plays in the Discoteca and of course doesn't hold back. The Terrace shows off it's techier side with Kölsch, Maceo Plex and Solomun playing before Eats Everything and Yousef team up to bring forth the classics and the house specials. We are flagging a little at this point though, so we head to the Sunset Terrace as the sun is rising.
Paul Reynolds may not be your household name but he's a certified Space veteran. Tasked with the job of closing the Sunset Terrace every year, his eight-hour sets have become the stuff of legend. A hedonistic mix of club classics and tech-house keeps everyone moving but it is his last three hours when we realised the true potential of both the selector and the room. 'Starlight' by The Superman Lovers is a highlight but it was at 9.45am when we knew what we were experiencing was in fact a once in a lifetime event.
'Love Is In The Air' by John Paul Young, in a filled room, with the sun shining through. You can't really describe the energy. Every single arm is in the air, every single person is smiling and some are even crying.
Space is known for its big rooms and big systems. The world-conquering DJs and the high-profile nights but if this closing party proves anything, it was that it doesn't take a household name or a 1500-capacity room to bring energy and love. It's the unsung heroes of the island, the DJs that built the legacy from the ground up who really shine tonight. Our player of the match award doesn't go to any DJ, it goes to the Sunset Terrace, one of the most beautiful places we've ever danced.
