UK-based DJ Steve Lawler has revealed that he has plans to be resident DJ of We Love Sundays at Space in Ibiza, which is one of the island’s most popular parties.

For the last two years Lawler has done his own parties under the banner of Viva at Space, but for some reason the We Love crew have enticed him back (perhaps it’s because running your own party on Ibiza is a hell of a lot of work).

Held every Sunday during the Ibiza clubbing season, We Love is the one of the most high profile events, so playing there must be a DJ’s wet dream.

“The team are very close to me, and I have a lot of love and respect for them,” said Steve about the We Love crew.

“To be back with them means a lot. On a professional level, over the last couple of years I have done some different things on the island, after being resident for seven years in the same club, I felt I needed a change, but after playing We Love… again last year for two shows, it made me feel like it was time to go back, and how much it meant to me being amongst friends.”

Steve will be playing on the Space Terrace once again.

Lawler had this to say about the legendary dance space: “The Space Terrace… always brings out the best in me when I’m performing, it’s a special gig.”

We Love’s head honcho Darren Hughes seemed pleased to have Lawler back.

“Having Steve back in the fold last year for the two shows he did with Miss Kittin was a musical highlight for us, one that we felt best showcased what we are trying to do at Space on Sundays, which is a true juxtaposition of musical journeys.

“We are pleased he has returned to his true home here with us at We Love…Space.”

Steve Lawler will play eight shows at Space this summer, including the opening and closing parties.

Clearly the DJ loves Ibiza and rumour has it he’s been preparing some special re-edits just for his Space sets.

He said: “The gigs, spending time with friends and surrounded by good music – that’s what Ibiza is all about.”
