La fiesta de apertura de este año se plantea como la que definirá la temporada de Ibiza, ya que We Love… Space celebra los 20 años de Planet E. Pocos sellos discográficos han logrado superar la prueba del tiempo, y de haberlo hecho, no han sido muchos los que han podido proclamarse tan reelevantes e influyentes como lo fueron ellos,hace veinte anos ya. Planet E, no solo ha sobrevivido los ultimos 20 anos,sino que sin dudas se ha deleitado a lo grande durante los mismos. Al cerebro del techno de Detroit Carl Craig se le sumara Derrick May y Paul Woolford, quienes recientemente han realizado lanzamientos explosivos en el sello. Estos cerebros tambien estarán acompañados por el residente semanal de We Love Jem Haynes, quien tomará el control de la Discoteca y hara una inusual y prestigiosa sesión solo de vinilo, para celebrar este acontecimiento de la discografica.

Mientras tanto, la mundialmente famosa Terraza de Space tendrá de invitado a James Zabiela exibiendo su sonido house para el 2011. Los DJs de Hot Chip, Felix Martin y Al Doyle regresan para la primera de sus tres exclusivas fechas como residentes y Heidi, la favorita de “In New DJs We Trust” de Radio 1, traerá el sonido ‘jackin’ con el apoyo de Made to Play’s Jesse Rose. A continuación tendremos a la apuesta de We Love Mat Playford, haciendo un show en vivo de tres horas, utilizando un sistema análogo personalizado.

El 2011 trae nuevas caras para compartir esta serie de eventos de verano. El sello discografico Moda de Jaymo & Andy George estará auspiciandola Sunset Terrace antes de que el proyecto “Afterdark” de Mr Doris tome el control, luego de la media noche. Ryan O’ Gorman regresa con el Burlington Project para auspiciar doce citas íntimas en la Redbox, la pista que disfrutan entendidos locales y turistas por igual.

Nos vemos en la pista de baile! Tickets disponibles en Space Ibiza, Ibiza Spotlight y Club Tickets.

This years opening party is set to define the Ibiza season as We Love… Space celebrate the seminal 20 Years of Planet E. Few labels have managed to stand the test of time and if they have, few can claim to be as relevant and influential as they were twenty years back. Planet E hasn’t just survived the last twenty years but positively revelled in it. Detroit techno mastermind Carl Craig will be joined by Derrick May and Paul Woolford, who have both recently presented the label with blistering releases. These masterminds will be joined by We Love weekly resident Jem Haynes to take control of the Discoteca for a rare and prestigious vinyl-only session in celebration of the label.

Meanwhile, the world famous Space Terraza plays host to James Zabiela showcasing his house sound for 2011. The Hot Chip DJs, Felix Martin and Al Doyle return for the first of their three date exclusive residency and Radio 1 current “In New DJs We Trust” favourite Heidi bringing the jackin’ sound’ o’ Chi’ Town with support from Made To Play’s Jesse Rose. Kicking off proceedings is We Love’s own Mat Playford playing a three hour live show using a customised analogue setup.

2011 brings new faces to share this summer’s series of events. Jaymo & Andy George’s label Moda host the Sunset Terrace before Mr Doris’ “Afterdark” project takes over after midnight. Ryan O’Gorman returns with The Burlington Project to host twelve intimate dates in the Redbox, the room for clued up locals and holiday-makers alike.

See you on the dancefloor! Tickets available from Space Ibiza, Ibiza Spotlight and Club Tickets.

Savana Potente – Ferragosto at We Love Space

Friday, August 13th, 2010

The Italian invasion is here! Ferragosto, an Italian celebration originally commemorating the end of hard labour in the fields is now a national holiday where Italians of all walks of life leave industry and the cities behind them and head for some well-earned recreation. We’ve joined up with our friends from the Torino underground – Savana Potente to give a home to the multitudes of Italians currently populating the island of Ibiza.

Hard animals

They’ll be taking over the whole top floor of the club – both the Premier Etage roof terrace and noisy back room the Red Box. Expect smooth electronica from Cipi, Ela Gee and our own residents Jon Howell and Ian Blevins on the ‘Etage’ while the Red Box will be struck by the sounds of Yaya, Gambo, Vincent, Drent along with our Andy Carroll and Jem Haynes. You can find some great mixes from the Savana Potente crew in our DJ mixes section. Check out Savana Potente on facebook, here. It’s a returning the favour kind of deal after they kindly accommodated us in their home town of Torino in the spring, check the video below for some great shots of how things went down there.

11 Questions – Andy Carroll

Friday, March 5th, 2010

Originator


Probably one of the most adaptable DJs around. A passion and obsession with various types of music has seen a very rich musical history unfold during the long and varied career of Andy Carroll. He started DJ’ing in Liverpool at Brady’s a punk and new-wave club where he got to play with many up-coming bands of the day including Pigbag, The Slits, Mo-dettes, Icicle Works, Swell maps, Gang of Four, Teardrop Explodes and Crass et al. Whilst the trendy Londoners were coining the term ‘balearic’ Andy had been playing eclectic sets for years before the term was even dreamed of and was simply doing what he does best – playing good music. In the summer of ‘86 his DJ partner returned from a trip to New York armed with the latest ‘House’ music vinyl which now entered the evening’s soundtracks. A continuing thirst developed to experience one of House Music’s places of creation at first hand, and so, in the summer of ’88 Andy went to New York and sampled house music from Chicago, garage from New York and the proto-techno sound of Detriot. It was a hot bed of sounds and creativity where now legendary club nights were over-flowing with the ‘house’ soundtrack. When he returned, Liverpool was ripe for a whole night of acid house. Andy continued his promotional activities and brought over the little known French dance maestro Laurent Garnier to join as a guest. He also played at numerous ‘news headline’ Orbital parties and avoided arrest for crimes of playing acid-house on numerous occassions by a mixture of pure fluke and an ability to run across a field swiftly. As the house bug stepped up, Andy among the first to bring NYC legend Tony Humphries and Sasha for the first time to Liverpool. A successful record label ,production and remix company, major label A&R consultancy and the formation of a few more club legends followed, whilst Andy continued pursuing his first love of DJ-ing as he does to this day.

Andy has been part of the We Love… family from the get-go and has played across the club in Space Ibiza, showcasing his many styles and varied taste in all the music that we love…

Is there one book that you have read that has been life-changing for you?

Several for different reasons, one of them that I read many years ago recently inspired me to try having a totally random weekend adventure that came from reading The Dice Man by Luke Rhineheart. Thankfully that turned out really well. A lifestyle improving book is ‘Water & Salt, The Elixir of Life ‘ by Peter Ferreira and Dr Barbara Hendel . The title gives the content away and yes my health and overall well being has improved rapidly!

Did your parents encourage you to work in music?

Never.

How did you begin to work professionally in music?

A mixture of pure passion, sheer determination and a bit of the right time right place. Oh, and a good ear.

How do you apply your past experiences to what you do today?

We constantly evolve if we allow ourselves. We are never to old to learn, so I respect the past and look to the future.

Where is your current studio and what is it like?

No studio, but I do have likely one of the largest, most diverse music collections around.

How much have you had to consider marketing issues since embarking on your career and how has that affected your creativity?

I could do with someone to sort it for me.

Carroll singing


How would you describe your work?

A very fortunate joy.

Who were your teachers?

I had a very rounded musical education ranging from my Dad and his mix of Jazz and Irish Rebel songs through to a whole spectrum of amazing music from various family members and their mates.

Your home is burgled but fortunately the culprits are caught and your possessions returned to you. What would you deem a suitable punishment for the burglars?

That someone would break into their place, do the same to them and see how they feel. Hopefully they may think twice before ever doing this again.

You have to make one species of animal extinct. Excluding insects, which species would you make extinct?

Komodo Dragons.

If you could spend one week in any period of history, which period would you choose?

A week on a sesh with Mozart .
