...and this year it's all about:

...and this year it's all about:
Jules and Eddie. Radio 1's Judge Jules returns with his San Antonio residency at Eden. Alongside Jules will be Eddie Halliwell, Lisa Lashes and Ferry Corsten. Make sure you check out the backroom for Jules' weekly funky set plus the occasional appearance from the Stanton Warriors.
...and this year it's all about:
Being 10 years old. For a long time it looked like there wouldn't even be a Manumission this year after a dispute with the venue, but that's water under the bridge now and we can all look forward to blowing out the candles all season long. As for guest appearing over the season...who knows what surprises Manumission will have in store.
Club:Release Yourself Where: Pacha When: Every Monday
Website:www.rogersanchez.com
...and this year it's all about:
The S-Man. The man with the most finely trimmed beard in dance music lays down some of the most minely cut tunes in the sumptuous surroundings of Pacha. Roger Sanchez puts in the long sets keeping it tough and funky, whilst the crowd add the own special glamour to the occasion.
...and this year it's all about:
The residents. Monday mornings like you could only dream of back in blighty and certainly not for the faint-hearted. Absolute mayhem on the terrace with residents Jo Mills, Cirillo, Tania Vulcano, Fabrizio, Manga & Andrew Grant, plus stage diving antics from the world's finest. Expect to see Timo Maas and Fatboy DJing head to head in boxing gloves.
...and this year it's all about:
...Garlands Disco Hospital. Crowned by Mixmag as the Best Club in Ibiza 2002 & 2003, the happy scousers take up residency at Eden. Garlands residents Dave & Huey will be joined in the in the Mainroom by residents from some of the UK's finest funky house clubs, whilst in the backroom Ibiza classics.
Club:Miss Moneypennys Where: El Divino When: Every Tuesday Website:www.moneypennys.com
...and this year it's all about:
Glamour, beauty, funk, opulence and good old Moneypennys magic. Resident Jim 'Shaft' Ryan looks after the music alongside guests including Joey Negro, Robbie Rivera, DJ Disciple & Cassius...
...and this year it's all about:
Quality house music. After an amazing first year Darren Emerson's Underwater night returns with a killer line-up including X-Press 2, Groove Armada, DJ Sneak and many others. Tim Deluxe and Darren are weekly residents, with Wally Lopez and Mutiny as monthly residents, not forgetting our very own Trevor Nelson in the Global Room.
...and this year it's all about:
Erick, Erick, Erick and Erick. Eick Morillo is joined by label mates Harry Romero, Jose Nunez, Who Da Funkplus the Audio Bullys, Josh Wink and Seb Fontaine. One of the clubs most popular nights and with Erick at the decks, its sure to go off…
...and this year it's all about:
doing it for the brits. A move from Pacha signals a move in music policy as Ministry of Sound take on San Antonio with a line-up of more commercial trance DJs. Out go Masters at Work to be replaced by a big anthems night.
...and this year it's all about:
The old school. If it's a blast from the past you're after then look no further than the excellent Retro. If you're one of those people that believe that they don't make them like they used to then let all your mates go to Pacha whist you wallow in memories of some serious gurning to Jimi Polo, Alison Limerick and Bizarre Inc.
Club:Cream Where: Amnesia When: Every Thursday
Website:www.cream.co.uk
...and this year it's all about:
That dynamic duo - again. Cream returned to form last year with Van Dyk and Tiesto taking up residency and look to go one better this year with the mighty Oakenfold gracing the decks throughout the season. Look out for the excellent MYNC project who'll be making the terrace their own.
...and this year it's all about:
Tongy. Pete Tong returns after the phenomenal success of Pure Pacha last summer. Kicking the party off at Mambo with his Essential Selection live Pete will then head off to Pacha to be joined by some of the world's finest DJs.
Club:Defected Where: El Divino When: Every Friday
Website:www.defected.co.uk
...and this year it's all about:
A new night of the week. Last year they lost their cheery on Sundays at El Divino. This year they return on Fridays with an even stonger line-up than ever including Martin Solveig, Dimitri from Paris, Jay J, Miguel Migs, Junior Jack and Kid Crème. If you're a fan of the label this night is not to be missed.
...and this year it's all about:
Dave Pearce. Slinky move from their Privilege home to Eden to bring you a massive trance and hard dance fuelled session. Joining Dave on the decks on rotation the Slinky residents and the likes of Scott Project, Rob Tissera, Matt Darey, BK and Lisa Pin UP. Plus after
5.30 am it's the legendary Ibiza foam party. Consistently rated as one of the most up for it nights - Dave Pearce and his guests will be packing them into Eden every Friday.
...and this year it's all about:
The view of the harbour. After such a successful debut last year Hed Kandi returns to El Divino. This time Hed Kandi bring their beach house to the beach, well the port, of Ibiza town. Mark Doyle and friends do their funky thing for those well dressed and well informed travellers who have to spend the other 9 months of the year settling for Hed Kandi on their living room stereo…It just doesn't sound the same without the view of the harbour.
