MORE SPACE FOR UNDERGROUND HOUSE MUSIC
Sydney’s house scene heats up for summer with the return of Space Ibiza to Australia in 2012.
Organisers have announced a showcase of the world famous brand over three special Space Ibiza parties across Sydney’s most exciting months. Quality underground music, artists and an intimate party atmosphere of like-minded people are what party goers can count on, they say.
The Space team are opening the series with “Space Pres Kehakuma” onNew Years Day 2012. Headlined by one of the world’s most highly regarded house and techno starsSETH TROXLER, and one of the best remixers and producers around - Rekids label head honchoRADIOSLAVE.
The line-up also includes EDDIE RICHARDS - Britain’s original godfather of house and techno and long standing Fabric resident with over 25 years behind the decks, and Parisian JEF K - one of Paris’s longest serving house deejays famous for club classic “In My System”.
Alongside Italian maestro and Space residentREMO - on the terrace since 2005, and UK underground house and badboy party monsterGARRY TODD – whose credits include a six year residency at Spice After Hours and residency at Carl Cox’s revolution party.
Last year’s Festival favouriteBASS DROP returns to host a room, with Hospitality Record’s hero B-COMPLEX and Dubstep Dynamos,CHASING SHADOWS. Space organizers say some of Sydney's finest local talent are being added to the lineup, making Space’s opening party down under the hottest New Years Day ticket for house music fans.
Space Ibiza promoter Paul Strange says, “For the past few years we have put on the New Years Day Space Ibiza Festival. It’s been hugely successful, with amazing music and an awesome vibe. We have built a really authentic following.”
“This year we’re shaking things up with a new format here in Sydney. Space will now stretch out over summer with three unique parties. We’ve gone for a more literal interpretation of Space, more in keeping with the essence of the brand by booking more underground artists, over the big commercial headliners needed to attract a Festival audience of 10,000 plus.”
“We think this will be great for the development of the Space brand in Australia, and it certainly doesn’t rule out a return of the Festival next year. Our long term goal is to bring the Festival back to join the strong series of summer season shows we’re building this year,” he says.
“Our line-up of respected acts, awesome music and like-minded people coupled with an outdoor setting and Sydney’s beautiful summer weather is a winning combination, totally in tune with the Ibiza vibe. We’re also making a major investment in production for this event, taking it to a Festival style level – but in a more intimate setting,” says Strange.
As in previous years the Space Ibiza team is promising a party worthy of Space Ibiza’s reputation, this year voted “best club in the world” (DJ Mag UK, 2011).
Space Ibiza Presents - Kehakuma takes place at The Greenwood in North Sydney on New Years Day 2012, previously home to one of the longest running day parties, Sounds on Sunday, where music fans have seen some of the world’s biggest acts – Jamie Jones, Paul Oakenfold, Calvin Harris & Kaskade.
Tickets for the Space Ibiza New Years Day go on sale on 11/11/11. First release tickets are only $69 and are extremely limited. Book early so you don’t miss out. Link through to The website for details, tickets and regular updates on all things Space!
