20th
Watched
the sun set through the large glass front of Ibiza Rocks Bar, San Antonio.
The
bar's sister venture, Ibiza Rocks Hotel, has a reputation for offering the
most crazy, non-stop-party accommodation on the island. The stories
of sleep-deprived, drug-fueled madness caused by the residents are
endless. The hotel itself, shaped like the outline of a rectangle,
allows the rooms and their balconies look out over the venue's
auditorium, meaning residents get free nightly shows without leaving
their studios. The events
are quite mainstream-music-orientated and not ideal for house music
enthusiasts like myself, but the headlining acts are quite
well-known.
We went
on the Friday evening, for the closing party of We Are Rockstars, where Radio 1's Zane Lowe
and singer Mark Ronson performed a mash-up of numerous random pop
songs. Cheesy but entertaining, with the music selection including a
few surprising oldies from the last 15 years or so.
An
impressive venue until you see the queues at the bar and the horrific
state of the toilets (with what looked like chopped chorizo
splattered all over the bowls and floors).
Once
the show had ended, the night was still young so we taxid over to the
Ibiza Rocks Cafe again, then to Eden, for Judgement Fridays. Radio 1's Judge Jules span quite a heavy
selection of house songs. He can't mix for shit! HOW did he end up on
Radio 1?! Music was a bit too hard for my liking, but the décor,
clientèle and view of the dancefloor from the club's balcony was
brilliant.
