Beatportal spotted Pete Gooding in Space last night partying after his set on the Terrace, so we grabbed him for a quick chat about Ibiza and he also revealed his top 3 tracks.

A lot of people are saying Ibiza’s changed a lot this year. As Café Mambo’s resident for ten years you must have seen the island go through some changes?

There’s been a lot of talk about how it’s not been as busy, but nights like tonight are always rammed. If you go to the busiest nights, you have no knowledge of whether this season’s been quieter.

The good parties are as good as ever, you’ve just got to pick the right party, because you can’t afford to make the wrong choice.

Do clubbers have less choice now, then?

A few years ago you had four good clubs a night to chose from. Now there’s only one club each night making money.

Competition means that only the best nights can kick ass now. For example, Tiesto’s residency at Privilege, ‘F*** Me I’m Famous’, ‘We Love…’ and ‘Cream’ are all huge.

So do you think it’s all too focused on the money now?

My mate promotes Tiesto’s night and says Tiesto only has a 40-person guestlist.

That’s tiny considering there’s probably about 8,000 people going to his night each week, so I guess even he’s got to think about making money.

Saying that though, I’ve seen Ibiza turn itself around before, so I’m sure it will again.

I live in London now but I used to live out here, and I want to move back over here next year.

Pete Gooding’s top 3 tracks:

Doman and Gooding ‘Pacific State’ [Heaven Recordings]

This is a brand new remake of the 808 State classic.

Pete Gooding and Afterlife presents No Logo ‘Dark Star’ (Francois Dubois Remix) [Urbantorque]

It’s a great deep atmospheric remix of my new track.

Joris Voorn ‘Deep Side of the Moog’ [Cocoon Recordings]

Deep sounds from my favourite producer.
