Folk story
We love music. We also love throwing parties at Folk, and those long, lazy days sat in the sun with a cold drink and lots of like minded people with nothing much else on their minds other than a forgotten melody drifting on the breeze…Our parties are relaxed affairs, although we do like dancing.
There’s no pressure at our parties. You don’t have to be fashionable or part of a scene. There’s no pressure on the DJs, they have the freedom to play whatever they want, when they want. We believe in a spirit of independence and individuality. We still believe in love.
Holding these values above the desire to make money has allowed us to experience some very special moments. If you share these values, let’s come together to create a magical experience at the very source of the original Balearic vibe. See you on the beach…
Folk up on the wrong side of the bed?
If the Manchester contingent of party starters and music lovers can keep the Balearic spirit alive in the grey north of England then surely in their spiritual home of Ibiza things will be proper buzzin’. The term Balearic is bandied around as all things to all men, carrying a sense of an eclectic but refined taste. The team from Folk have chosen a selection of locations around the island to host a mini-festival of sorts. Running from Thursday 22nd to Monday 26th of July in a diverse but kindred set of venues such as Boutique Hostal Salinas and Sunset Ashram. The folk from Folk will also be making appearance on our hallowed roof terrace, the Premier Etage on Sunday the 25th of July.
Folk me!
The night in question promises to be maybe just a little bit special, with Detroit natives Jeff Mills and Derrick May keeping things rolling in the Discoteca while the European contingent of Miss Kittin and Steve Lawler promise an epic back to back 5 hour set of deep and beautiful house music on La Terraza. There’s also “digital disco” vibes in El Salon from Matty J and his crew from Tirk Records. As for that roof terrace expect the likes of Balearic Mike, Lexx, Be and Naive Melody to be spinning bizarre things that aren’t getting played on the radio. You can check out some mixes they have kindly provided to us here, including a session by Phil Mison at the Cafe Del Mar way back in 1993 during his residency at the original sunset bar. We’ll leave you with this little video which seems to encapsulate crossing the Balearic spirit with something quintessentially English.
