Keeping it in the family we make a return visit to the historical city of Turin in north Italy on Saturday 19th of March for a tech-house fuelled reunion with the go-to-crew for cutting edge electronica Savana Potente. We Love favourite Joris Voorn defined a summer residency here in Ibiza which encompassed our two mighty main-rooms of La Terraza and Discoteca. He exceed already high expectations, bringing some of his friends and contemporaries along for this ride including Technasia who will join in him Turin.

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.

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.

We Love… Savana Potente – Die Musik Ist Kollektive Vorstellungswelt

Monday, May 3rd, 2010

Pope Benedict XVI (Joseph Ratzinger to his friends) had to contend with not being the only famous son / daughter of Germany in Torino, Italy last weekend. In conjunction with our friends at Savana Potente; Ellen Allien, Marcel Dettmann and Ben Klock flew in from Berlin to sample local cuisine and indulge in a techno marathon taking place over two clubs in the historic city. Here is a taster of the film we’ve made of the night (and day) with some screen shots to whet your appetite…

Like all good nights in Italy, it began with fine food

Have a look at this short video created to promote the event online. The soundtrack is composed exclusively and originally by Jozif to complement the visuals. The musical brief was to make something that sounds like Star Trek on drugs yet is fluffy and acidic and with something four-to-the-floor for “the heads”.
