There’s a late addition to the Tirk/Pool hosted El Salon for the closing party on Sunday September 25th. El Harvo aka Dave Harvey aka one third of the Future Boogie collective will be joining Ben Terry, Matty J and Jamie Bull of Manchester party Homoelectric to the most à-la-mode back room in Ibiza. This summer, Tirk and the Pool have brought a diverse selection of artists to Space, from the Trojan Soundsystem of Earl Gateshead to the Italo horror disco of Bottin. In the true spirit of We Love, expect a disregard for a rigid music policy – but with dancing a priority – disco-sleaze, trashy-funk, foreign pop and good people.
Check out this suitably titled summer mix below from El Harvo himself…
Ever the keen supporters of fresh talent the Fresh Blood project continues this Sunday when we invite likely lads Blackhall & Bookless from Jaunt>, Newcastle and Matt from Leeds based promotion mono_cult to the REd Box. Jaunt> continues to be one of the most forward thinking nights going on in the North East and have recent forays and collaborations with the likes of Asylum in Leeds, a series of secret events in London and not to mention our own festivities which are happening on an increasingly regular basis in the Toon. They also host a fantastic series of podcasts, our pick of which you can check out here. Have a listen to Blackhall’s dulcet tones from this episode, first broadcast on Sunderland’s Spark FM and Ibiza Radio Sonica.
As music lovers from Yorkshire who have a penchant for the Space terrace and all things balearic, you’d be hard pushed to find two lads who personify We Love Space through the summer of 2011 more than the PBR Streetgang. Ever affable but always on point, they’ve decided to give away a mix comprising completely of their own tracks and remixes. With any less talented duo this may seem a tall order, but rest assured this one will play well at home, in your car, or more suitably through your iPod on the flight from Leeds/Bradford airport to Ibiza this Sunday September 18th where the boys will be joined by the likes of Groove Armada, Tensnake and Ralph Lawson on la Terraza, tickets (for the club not the plane) here.
As if that weren’t enough, being the re-edit masters (before it was hip) they are, they’ve made an exclusive edit just for us which you can stream/download below. Jump aboard the boogie boat which is, the PBR Streetgang.
We’re never shy of taking a risk here at We Love, bringing a concert pianist and a grand piano into one of the world’s temples of dance music could certainly be considered so. It’s never entirely surprising when two avant-garde musicians come together from across musical divides, but in Ibiza it’s not so commonplace.
Take one part Detroit techno legend, add a bit of Juilliard trained classical protegé, a piano imported from Valencia and a few thousand cosmopolitan clubbers in Ibiza and check out the results below. Carl Craig and Francesco Tristano will be joined this Sunday September 18th in the Discoteca by our Kompakt brethren Ewan Pearson and Michael Meyer, check the event page for full lineup, TICKETS HERE.
Growing from the origins as a small, chic party to give locals a place to hang out and let loose in winter in Ibiza to a rolling behemoth of an institution with the obligatory Ibiza billboards and high profile summer residency. Rock Nights have brought a dress-to-kill attitude to afternoon sessions monthly on the Sunset Terrace at We Love Space. Resident DJ Colin Peters has been holding it down with guests such as Casette Jam and Mystery Jets. The first week had a rock circus theme and next up is surf n’ roll. If a picture can speak a thousand words, check out this video for an opus…

Last Night a DJ Saved My Life Foundation is celebrating receiving it’s official charitable status, by partnering with We Love Space to raise money from clubbers on the guest list tomorrow and at the closing party. The money raised will go towards the Ibiza Preservation fund which is supporting the development of the Ibiza Limpia project. This looks to introduce and support seasonal beach cleaning gatherings, using volunteers and supported by local residents and businesses, coupled with community events. The project is roughly three years old, running to date solely because of the time and energies of volunteers. The message behind this project should be relevant for all visitors to the island. Leave no trace…
So if you’re coming down to the club on either July 31st or September 25th there will be a compulsory donation of €5 if you’re on the guest list, and extra donations much appreciated. As well as being a fantastic tourist attraction, Ibiza’s spectacular environment represents an enormous responsibility for local authorities, who need to keep everything as tidy as possible throughout the year. However, with limited government budgets for keeping the island in good order, it is essential that the local population, and wherever possible the tourist visitors, lend a hand in this vitally important task. Thank you for your kind help and consideration.
Chew the Fat! and We Love resident Foamo has chosen to release 4 tracks on his 4 dates playing in Ibiza this summer.
One at a time, no remixes, no B-sides, just one tune played exclusively in the Discoteca the night before and released the morning after. On his summer debut this weekend, the young upstart will be joined by seasoned campaigners and We Love favourites Claude VonStroke, Felix da Housecat and Jason Bye. The first track to be released is called Celestial, listen to a clip below – big room summer potential, don’t sleep on this one – released Monday on Fat! Records.
