Ibizan Bitch launches in Ibiza 2009
For close to three years Bitch has resided in Manchester, studiously going about its house and electro duties. Often popping up amongst the top ten Northern nights in DJ Mag, and with an always on-point mix of fresh talent (think H2) and established entertainers (step forward Jon Carter) alike, the Bitch gaggle is doing Ibiza in 2009.
It’s no mean feat to host regular discos in the birthplace of acid house euphoria - and to get invited back - but Bitch regularly nailed it at Manchester’s Sankeys: a venue which has initiated and inspired generations of ravers the world over. Whilst DJs like Micky Slim and Funkagenda are their electro staple at home, Bitch bespoke themselves for the White Isle, instead twisting to a more carnival spirited house and techno beat. Summer guests will include bouncy tech-house fiend, Kate Lawler, and resident Dutchman, Mason: a man who’s gotten on the right side of Deep Dish’s Sharam, Fatboy Slim and dance don Pete Tong for his remix work. Not shy on the effects box, Mason’s sure to keep the dance floor locked throughout the summer season with hot 12s of his own, and scorching wax from the best of the rest.
Also featuring will be San Francisco’s Josh Gabriel (of 90s ‘& Dresden’ fame who in ‘07 and ‘08 won the WMC award for ‘Best DJs’) with his bag of synth heavy house and techno tracks; Oliver Lang, a chunky and jacking man who acutely tailors his sets according to the dance floor vibe - be he spinning Judgment Sundays, Bora Bora or Ministry Of Sound - and who sites Danny Tanaglia as an main influence; and Oliver Giacomotto, an electro house producer who regularly tops the Beatport charts for his unhinged and original take on our beloved 4/4 sound. The likes of Carl Cox and Misstress Barbara support Giacomotto’s tunes, and he regulalrly teams up with EDM legend John Acquaviva for studio work.
Having consistently laced the basement of Sankeys with driving rhythms from dance music’s top few, it’s no wonder Bitch has an unadulterated party vibe and loyal following: one which it will no doubt transplant to newly refurbed Ibizan home, BoHo.
Each Tuesday of summer 09 the crew will get amongst the eccentric, circular themed interior and opulently decorated confines of BoHo for proper a session. With fairly priced drinks, entry capped at 20 Euros and a state of the art light and sound installation; the new San Antonio venue will be a wise choice for any in-the-know dance heads. With its place in history already affirmed – having long hosted worker’s parties beyond official closing time as the Extasis venue – BoHo aims to put the punter first. Not bad for a rock which normally likes to sap as much money from your bank account, as it does moisture from your lobster skin.
