10 Seasons Together At Space |
The winter months have passed, and the summer is nearly upon us, and for so many that means one thing. A return to Ibiza, and ultimately to 16 weeks of forward-thinking beats, and to WeLove…Space, Sundays.
Moving into our 10th season together at Space, you will excuse us for becoming emotional. Tastes may have evolved and opinions ever-change, but we have been steadfast in our objective. To keep you dancing day & night, to bring you memories you’ll never forget, and introduce you to friends you wish you could.
We Love…has grown hand in hand with our friends at Space. Every year Pepe et al improve their club and We hope, We in turn, do likewise. The addition last year of El Salon boosting the amount of Arenas at Space to a staggering 6 and thus, the variety this allows us to program has led to comparisons to the We Love…event being likened more to a Festival, than a Club. This it not something We have shied from, in fact it’s been positively encouraged and have always perceived this to be the case, the original day and night festival.
It’s not only our party, our club or scene that has changed forever over these 10 seasons, but our world and Ibiza has changed enormously and with these changes come new responsibilities. Conjecture and speculation has been rife since last season about the new laws and rules affecting us all. We Love…have always been concerned about the environment in which we operate. However, we may not have been alone in taking the magic of Ibiza for granted for too long. Let’s not forget this Island was largely untouched before the party invasion and while the arguments surrounding it may be different sides of the same coin, We will push forward with making as many people happy while upsetting as few as possible.
As such, this season We Love… will be using only recycled materials for our promotional flyers and posters, We will also be severely limiting the number of these, so get them while you can! Our philosophy is to move this whole process forward in conjunction with the world we all now live and encourage our fellow promoters to do likewise.
The successes of our podcast and We Love…tv series’ have also enlightened us in this new dawn. Both will be returning in their original weekly format, however bigger and better than they were before, and with the return of A N Other WeLover, our erroneous blogger. This is the place to keep up to speed on all things We Love…
As we celebrate 10 Seasons Together we thought it appropriate to have the obligatory Birthday party. The problem being with these things that not all your friends can make the same night and sometimes there’s not enough room to invite everyone. Our solution? 16 birthday parties!
1600hrs every Sunday until 0600hrs every Monday, We Love…will be blowing out the candles one by one. Joining us this year will be what we believe to be the finest collection of residents the World has to offer…

One word. Legend. Founding father of Detroit Techno and the Underground Resistance. Jeff Mill's relentless 909 dex & fx sets have besieged the Discoteca since 2002 and this year will see the man return with 3 exclusive dates showcasing his trademark stripped-back industrial beats. We Love…The Bells… |
 |
Scene-maker, heart breaker and professional ass-shaker, Da Housecat’s legacy to dance music has already been written, with seminal albums, Kittenz and Thee Glitz, 2004’s Devin Dazzle and last year’s Virgo Blaktro and the Movie Disco . Felix’s tequila infused excursions into Electro Disco at We Love…have seen him become one of the family over the years. |
 |
The return of the Prodigal. After a 4 year hiatus from his residential duties for We Love…Steve Lawler returns to help us celebrate in true style. The original, ‘King of the Terrace’ has time and again been cited as one of the top DJ’s on the planet. Over the past 4 year’s, there isn’t a venue of note that Steve hasn’t rocked and after all this time away it really feels like Steve’s coming home. It is a new Space, and a new Steve that awaits us. We Love…Knights of the Jaguar. |
 |
Long time friends and residents Matt & Layo are as synonymous with the We Love…closing parties as they are that of The End. One of the most prolific productions duo’s in the business, whether it be via their collective or individual releases. Matt’s rolling break-beats complimenting, Layo’s housier and techno records to perfection. Whether it be on the Terraza or the Discoteca, catching this pair closing is a moment to cherish. We Love...not telling your mum! |

James Zabiela (6 shows)
 |
One of, if not the most talented Dj’s in the business. James’ ability to balance his prodigious technical ability with his ear for outstanding tech house has seen him rightly take his place at the top of the tree. Zabiela’s sets in the discoteca have become legendary since his first foray supporting Sasha in 2002. |
Danny Howells (3 shows)
 |
Tales of Danny’s debauchery often super-seed those of his ability to manipulate dance-floors to any given vibe. However it is for this latter reason that he comes back to the Terraza year after year for We Love…Catch him for these exclusive shows to see the master at work |
 |
The Godfather. Since his seminal residency on the Amnesia terrace, Alfredo has oozed all things Balearic. Famously accredited by Messrs Oakenfold et al for converting them to the ways of Acid House back in ’88 and the man hasn’t looked back since. With residencies at every club on the Island we are honoured that Alfredo now considers Space, Home. With the latest We Love…compilation featuring the man due to drop in June, and some very special surprises for his terrace sets arranged this could be Alfredo’s best year yet. We Love…Pacific State. |

We Love…Man With Guitar |

After the acclaimed release of his Skylark Debut album and relentless winter touring schedule has taken him to every corner of the globe, the ClubClass resident looks in fine form to continue where he left off in 2007. Nic’s sets on the Terraza call on his array of tech beats and acid house to set the room alight. We Love…Fools Gold |
Ben Watt (4 shows)
 |
Buzzin’ Fly head honcho, and founder of EBTH it is surprising that Ben’s Shows for We Love…were his 1st on Ibiza after being in the business so long. However anyone lucky enough to catch either of his two sets will understand why he was top of our list this year. Blending the sounds from his label with German house and deep techno sets a mood on the terraza like no other. We Love…the fly life |
Smokin’ Jo (8 shows)

Smokin’ Jo has been taking We Love…crowds by storm since the word go. Another artist who has effortlessly flowed with times, most recently with her Nude conception in conjunction with her partner in crime, Terry Hart, putting the party back where it belongs, showing that style and fun can co-exist in a club to mid-blowing effect. We Love…Cabaret |
Serge Santiago (3 shows)

Riton (4 shows)
 |
Riton’s star seems to been continually rising with dates across Europe with the likes of Erol and 2ManyDjs. Riton could show the press what is really meant by nu-rave. Calling on the sounds of rave and hauling them into today for a sonic war in the Discoteca. |
Tom Novy (8 shows)

Tom’s closing sets on the Sunset Terrace have become legendary over the years, with a career that seems be continually in ascendance and an envious production catalogue. Tom is guaranteed to pull out your tunes of the summer. |
Jason Bye (16 shows)

With enemies like this, who needs friends! Jason has been part of the family since the ‘90’s. Just be thankful his tunes are better than his jokes. Catch him every week on the Sunset Terrace; just as the sun’s gone down to propel our party into the night. We Love…geezers |
 |
We Love’s longest serving resident. Dave’s sets provide the perfect platform for the Discoteca. Filling the room to tipping point and then releasing the party. The master of the warm-up. We Love…flaming tequila’s! |
Jonathan Sa Trinxa (8 shows)

Another Balearic master. Jon joined the residents last year to bring his style to El Salon, which he did with aplomb. Expect everything from laid back house to proper soul. We Love…Sunset’s |
