London's premier underground party - Créche - is coming to Ibiza in 2014. The party is hosted by two of London's finest exports in Cozzy D and Alexis Raphael with their aim to bring the cool back to San An, a place they say has taken a lot of unwarranted stick over the years and yet has so much to offer. Frankly, they have a point. There of course is plenty of positives to be taken from a stay in San An, but there is no doubting that for Eden at least the last few years have been about the search to find their feet.
Now, with Eden changing hands and under the careful management of Gatecrasher, money has been invested, the lighting has been boosted and brightened, VOID have stepped in to ensure the sound has got the pow pow and the whole place has seen an update that will no doubt catapult its reputation back to the top, where it belongs.
Créche has a highly respectable history, or story, of a rise to success. London is the setting and Cozzy D, Alexis Raphael and their eager friends are the main characters. Like all good parties, things kicked off from a desire to showcase the music they and their friends liked, growing into a party that has been at the forefront of the house and techno in London for several years now. With the two leading men, one Cozzy D a label head of a certain Lower East Records imprint and Mr Alexis Raphael a prolific beat producer and DJ, being the driving force behind the growth of the party it comes as little surprise to learn of their journey.
The lineup is big for the opening party on Tuesday 10th June. Headlining will be Tensnake & Breach and Boddika in support. Alexis Raphael and Cozzy D run the show and set the tone as residents and promoters
