We've all been waiting for these bad boys to drop for some time now, with many of you losing patience and begging us for any news. We've been saying "soon, soon!" for a while, so it feels good to be holding the press release in our hands with all the information about the plans for the coming season at ENTER.Ibiza.
This is one party you can genuinely call a concept. It is about more than just the music, with full club aesthetic introduced in fitting with the mysterious black dot theme, plenty of Sake - hand picked by Hawtin and his team - to go around, and a real forward thinking technological experience filled with sound and light installations designed for human interaction beyond merely seeing and hearing. ENTER. is an experience... one you should ensure you have before you depart the island.
Lineup wise, things are looking very, very good indeed. Before we get to the main club lineups, we have the ENTER.Sake pre-party. Filled with three types of of the Japanese specialty (black, silver and gold), you can expect to warm up your night to the likes of Luciano, Jamie Jones, Richie Hawtin and Marcel Dettmann on the Sunset Terrace - which isn't something you would expect to see. Residents are Bella Sarris and Hito.
The 'bridge building' continues this season after some succesful collaborations in 2012 as Hawtin welcomes Sven Väth, Luciano, Loco Dice (5 hours on the Terraza!) and Jamie Jones to perform at ENTER., with Hawtin stepping over to play their parties at various points of the season. The rest of the lineup pulls together some of the finest artists to play around the world into 13 Thursday night sessions at Space, across all 5 rooms of the club.
Highlights include the Visionquest Thirteen tour stopping by the party for an exclusive performance, the many back-to-back sessions, the ENTER.Air lineups on the Premier Etage, and the impressive roster of residents - Maya Jane Coles, Paco Osuna, Nina Kraviz, Gaiser and Matador. Also, you might want to check out the new ENTER.Mind room for some dark and mysterious experimental techno.
Full lineups are below.
ENTER. opens on Thursday 4th July, taking place every Thursday until the closing party on 26th September. Doors open to the ENTER.Sake pre-party from 9:30pm.
In keeping with the mysterious nature of the parties, Hawtin and co released this preview film (see below). If you'd like to have more of an idea about what to expect, click this link to watch all the films from the 2012 season.
