it’s basically no different to the hotels of Mayfair-Monte Carlo-Dubai where extreme garish wealth occasionally shimmys to whatever ‘electronic beats’ are served up in the VIP lounge and where people are prepared to pay serious dough for that ‘exclusivity’. It will happen everywhere soon enough as the remaining ashes of dance culture are monetised by those who neither understand nor care. It’s got me thinking about what kind of future there is for the frazzled survivors of post-acid house and it warms my heart that there are bars and niche festies still catering to the renegades. But Ibiza itself is just a pastiche of its past in every sense albeit with nice sunsets, the last freebie left.

Also there on the 16th! Very much looking forward to seeing Harvey again after the 2023 hiatus.

TBH the marketing for Pikes rubs me the wrong way. It just seems a bit fake with the “quirky” winking vibe. But maybe that’s just me.
In their defence it’s still free, the drinks are almost reasonable by Ibiza standards, but it’s rammed and there’s a fair few Guy Ritchie extras wannabes in the garden bit. Guess businesses even in Ibiza can’t rest on laurels so have to heavy market. Who would be a club owner these days? Not me

Some DJ popped up in my feed wandering round espousing the greatness of Pikes, he looked like the unlikeliest person I could imagine playing there, both he and the place looked naff as you like. Reminded me of the crowd in Shoreditch House last trip to the smoke. Maybe I’m too old for this shit anyway, no I’m definitely too old…

I’ve never been to Ibiza and I’ve never seen Harvey play. For many years I’ve joked that the first time I go will likely be my 50th bday. This September 23rd, when Harvey plays, is my actual 50th birthday. My wife being made redundant has nixed all plans, so could someone please tape it for me and we’ll try again for my 60th

Harvey’s at Koko soon if a trip to the smoke is within reach?
Yes I saw! I’m at some friends 50th party in Margate though. Wasn’t meant to be…
