The opulent surroundings of Ibiza’s Pacha nightclub and the funky, soulful house grooves of US DJ Roger Sanchez seem like the perfect match, but after seven years of glamming it up in Ibiza Town, the S-Man has decided to relocate his Release Yourself party to Pacha’s rival club Amnesia.
Roger Sanchez will take over the stunning terrace of Amnesia (now one of the best club spaces on the island, in our eyes) every Tuesday, while Dutch star Armin Van Buuren will get his trance on in the main room. “‘2009 marks the start of a new chapter in our Ibicenco Release Yourself story,” said the Stealth Records boss. “It was time to up the ante and bring Release Yourself to a bigger room, and we are working hard to set the scene for something very special to happen there. We cherish our years at Pacha but change fans the flames of creativity, and I am excited about the invigorating challenges and adventures that lie ahead at Amnesia.” The move is certainly a smart one as Amnesia’s profile has risen spectacularly in recent years, thanks in part to the success of Cocoon’s parties on a Monday. Roger Sanchez’ Release Yourself will no longer have to go head-to-head with Cocoon Recordings either, a battle that must have helped to contribute to a slight drop in numbers last summer. Plus teaming up with one of the world’s biggest trance DJs is a no brainer. ![]() |
