Ibiza’s DC10 to be shut for one year, possibly forever

6 October, 2008 | 1.12PM

Written by: Zack Rico
Filed under: Music News:

DC10 club in Ibiza has been fighting an uphill battle with the island’s authorities for the whole season, but last week the club’s future seemed bleak after a council meeting in Sant Josep slapped the owners with a €300,000 fine and a one year closure.

The problem is, the authorities have found DC10’s ultimate weak point (we can’t believe it took them 10 years to find it) - it only has a legal capacity of 65, which means the club has absolutely no chance of survival, unless they can somehow secure a license.

In the murky, disco-mafia-tinted world of Ibiza’s legal system that will be practically impossible.

Groove Armada drops Justice’s ‘Phantom 2 (Soulwax mix)’

In another cut from Groove Armada’s set at Space Ibiza, we see them killing it with Justice’s ‘Phantom part 2 (Soulwax mix)’, one of the biggest tracks of the summer.

In a tense moment, these masters of suspense cut the rhythm out completely and build it back as they work the crowd to maximum effect, finally dropping the bass and letting off some of that charged energy.

DC10 reopens, at least for the time being

DC10 in Ibiza reopened yesterday in Ibiza, and from the opening party report by Ibiza-Voice, it seems that the crazy circus vibe was back, at least for the moment.

“As seminal as New York’s Paradise Garage or London’s Shoom, Circoloco is our generation’s Studio 54, and it has done more for the musical credibility of Ibiza than any of the hundreds of commercial, predictable, ‘safe’ nights at all the other clubs,” wrote Ibiza-Voice’s Smac.
