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" on New Years
Day 2012. Headlined by one of the world's most highly regarded house and techno
stars SETH TROXLER, and one of the best remixers and producers around - Rekids
label head honcho RADIOSLAVE.
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 resident REMO - on the terrace since 2005,
and UK underground house and badboy party monster GARRY TODD - whose credits include
a six year residency at Spice After Hours and residency at Carl Cox's revolution
party.
Last year's Festival favourite BASS 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.
