ENTER season three can now take some proper shape in our imaginations, as full line-ups have been revealed in one mighty hit (something we news writers appreciate especially) which has techno fans rushing for their calendars to frantically free up their schedule on the dates of their favourite artist.
ENTER has come a long way in a short time, and indeed it's hard to imagine an Ibiza without Richie Hawtin's pervasive and positive influence. In an interview we did with Johannes Goller - promoter of Cocoon Ibiza - during the 2013 season we discovered that when Richie Hawtin first came to Ibiza he hated it, saying he would never come back; it was only under the persuasion of Sven Väth, who showed Hawtin another side to the island, that Hawtin decided to return... and (thank the techno gods) the rest is history.
In 2014 ENTER spreads across four of Space's rooms: the Discoteca, the Terraza, El Salon and the Sunset Terrace (which will hold the Sake bar sessions, which opens at 9pm and features major headliners early). Hawtin's a sucker for the 'immersive technological experience' and as such has created a new concept for 2014; introducing ENTER.CNTRL, an interactive music installation which places music in the hands of ENTER fans right around the world. So who will be joining Hawtin and his beloved technology experiments, Sake cocktails and black clothing throughout the fourteen-week season, running from the 3rd of July to the 2nd of October? WELL.
Bella Sarris, Dubfire, Gaiser, Hito, Maceo Plex, Matthew Hawtin, Matador, Maya Jane Coles, Nina Kraviz, Paco Osuna, Recondite and Tale of Us will all be returning for regular dates over the season, whilst Sven Väth, Luciano, Guy Gerber and tINI will perform special one-offs in addition to their island residencies elsewhere.
Dixon will play an Ibiza-exclusive all-nighter on the 28th of August, as will Ibiza's favourite trio Apollonia the 18th of September. The hypnotic ENTER.Mind room returns, welcoming Deepchord for the first time in Ibiza plus special appearances from TM404, Voices From The Lake, Alex Under, Petar Dundov and more. ENTER.Sake returns with resident Hito and special guests from 9pm including Adam Beyer, Ida Engberg and Claude von Stroke.
Looks like another exciting season for Space Thursdays that people are already talking about all over the world. Prepare for the ENTER black dot to spread amongst you like the plague... only cooler-looking, less life-threatening and with fewer pus-filled tubers. OK bad analogy.
