DC10, Bora Bora, Amnesia closed!!!

[IAN NEVARRA]

D.h. Juli und August wieder tote Hose... unglaublich sowas. Auf einer Partyinsel die Lokale zusperren, ist ja das selbe wie wennst einen Hund kastrierst. Der kann auch nicht mehr seiner Lieblingsbeschäftigung nachgehen.

Naja bin ich froh, dass ich wieder im September rüber flieg... was nicht heißt, dass dann alles offen hat.

DC10 Circoloco to be shut for 57 days, on the orders of the Spanish government."



After a glorious start to the season the Spanish authorities have stepped in to quash DC10 - declaring last year's 60 day closure order must stand, and that the club which was closed for 20 days last June has to serve the "remaining" 57 days of its ban.

Ibiza Voice spoke exclusively to Circo Loco's Andrea Pelino, who is understandably devastated by the news. "I feel like DC10 is the monster of the island, like they hate us. I don't understand why this always happens," he says, audibly upset. The decision appears timed to cause maximum havoc to Circo Loco. One-hundred plus security, staff and DJs have been contracted for the summer. Fans and friends have booked their holidays to Ibiza. All eyes are on the island and the message that will be flashed around the world tomorrow will - undoubtedly - be "drug den DC10 shut down."

"We bring people to the island all year round. People charter jets to fly to our New Year's Day party."

"The club was open all winter, and we were talking to the authorities, asking for their decision. You have to ask why they chose to shut us now,"Andrea comments. He is quietly angry, too. "We bring people to the island all year round. People charter jets to fly to our New Year's Day party. Circo Loco is around the world now. We work with great artists like Bjork and Massive Attack, we have parties in the best clubs all over the world. But here we're demonised."

First it was no after-hours… now the attitude seems to be "no" full-stop. There is only one thing to do: link up and fight back. "I want the support of the people. I would like to see 100,000 clubbers write to the government and ask 'why?'" says Andrea. Circo Loco will be fighting back, though. "Before I cooperated, I tried to do everything the government asked. But now I'm going to be strong. I have a lot of questions about this decision and I want answers. The situation is crazy. Circo Loco started a movement in Ibiza. We brought the underground people together. This is ridiculous. I've put 100% of my heart into this club and I'm going to fight for it."

"Circo Loco was born in DC10 and it's not going to another club, never, ever..."

At the moment Andrea is wrestling with whether to close the club from Friday or to have a final party on Monday before beginning the 57 day closure. Whatever his choice his loyalty to the club is absolute and he firmly rules out a move to another venue: "Circo Loco was born in DC10 and it's not going to another club, never, ever. If DC10 is closed Circo Loco is closed."

Why? Indeed. It defies belief that the Spanish government continues to single out DC10 for special treatment, that it continues to treat Ibiza's most important industry as if it were something to be ashamed of. Already the island is facing a quieter season than ever. So far, tourist numbers are 20,000 less than the same time last year. Club owners, promoters, bars, small businesses, hotels, taxi drivers… the entire economy of the island faces a crunch as the knock on effect from the after-hours ban is exacerbated by the economic downturn and unseasonable rain in the early season.

Ibiza needs DC10. These aren't just a couple of local discos, these are world-famous clubs that partiers from Argentina to Asia come specifically to visit. They are part of the lifeblood of the island.

Shutting them will deal the island an economic blow it won't recover from this summer, and maybe not even the next. What's more, the draconian police tactics will discourage visitors from booking in coming years, leading to long term repercussions. "It's crazy," Andrea says with a sigh. Ibiza Voice couldn't agree more. These clubs - they are part of our lifestyle, our music culture, they're where we celebrate music and freedom and the true spirit of Ibiza. If we lose them, we lose part of what makes Ibiza magical.

It's not just DC10, either. Amnesia - closed alongside DC10 last year - is in danger of being shut again as well, according to a source close to the club.

Post your comments, write letters, send emails… do whatever you can to make your voice heard. This is our freedom they're taking away - it's time to take it back.

Und täglich grüßt das Murmeltier. Letztes Circoloco am Montag. Dann ist das Dc10 für 60 Tage zu. Gerüchten zufolge Amnesia auch wieder.

Alles Schöne hat ein Ende....

Amnesia auch?
Lt Homepage www.amnesia.es ist alles normal, events jede Menge...
Weiß ned ob die gerüchte stimmen oder die hp

Die Frage ist halt, ob es Sinn macht dagegen anzukämpfen.

Offenbar nimmt da irgendjemand den Kampf GEGEN das DC10 sehr persönlich.


und der wird aufgrund der Aussagen des Promoters sicher nicht weniger motiviert sein.

Also dieses Mal ist es wohl die Regierung in Madrid, die etwas dagegen hat. Anscheinend handelt es sich noch um die Strafe vom letzten Jahr, die nicht ganz "abgesessen" wurde. Und heuer besteht die spanische Regierung wohl drauf.

Ich verstehe es aber prinzipiell nicht: Dieser Massentourismus der jungen Leute auf Iibza muss ja Unmengen an Kohle rein spülen und seit wann hat man da was dagegen. Besser man sperrt Mallorca zu, ist wesentlich primitiver. Und Drogen...mein Gott. Wer sie benötigt, soll sie nehmen. Wird ja eh keiner gezwungen...

Und für den den noblen Aufenthalt gibts ja schließlich eh den Norden. Sie könnten ja ein paar Villen der VIPs abreißen und Hotels stattdessen bauen, wenn so dringend Platz für geldige Russen benötigt wird.

lol ohne dir die Vorfreude zur verderben:

Ein 2. Club muss zusperren, welcher das ist wird noch bekannt gegeben. Ich tippe schwer auf das Amnesia, weil das Space einfach zu viel Macht hat.

Zurzeit: Schlechte Touristenzahlen, und mäßig besuchte Clubs. Auf die Clubber ist verlass!

Das Amnesia wird NICHT geschlossen...sondern die Sunsetbar "Kumharas" in Port d’es Torrent.
