Trance fans rejoice. You have waited long enough. We can now reveal the new destination for trance on the white isle. SHINE will take up Monday nights in Privilege's Vista Club from 9 July to 17 September.
Genre supremes Paul van Dyk and Aly & Fila will be the main residents. With them every week, we have notable appearances from some of the best trance acts out there, including Cosmic Gate, Bryan Kearney, Simon Patterson, Ben Nicky, Neelix and Grum.
Other acts confirmed to be involved include Jordan Suckley, Alex M.O.R.P.H., Will Atkinson, Menno De Jong, Lange, The Thrillseekers and Paul Thomas. It's straight-up the truest, purest embodiment of trance you'll find anywhere on the island.
This new venture is the brainchild of PvD's Vandit and former Cream promoter, Nick Ferguson. You know that you're in safe hands.
In the words of Nick himself on the 11-week run, "SHINE Ibiza wants to bring back the human factor. Everybody is part of SHINE – DJs, guests and staff alike. We all come together to have a great time, meet old friends, make new friends, enjoy our favourite music. Long DJ sets with amazing production and a breath-taking view of Ibiza's sunrise."
This new night will be aimed squarely at trance fanatics. Expect mind-blowing production, magic, energy and light. Most importantly, the night will feature that often overlooked family spirit.
After the news that Cream would be dropping trance acts after many years, this news comes as a welcomed reprieve. While the influence of trance may have waned in recent years, it is evident that it still has a loyal following on the island.
Vista Club provides the perfect backdrop for SHINE and their inaugural Ibizan adventure. As dawn breaks, the glass club reveals a once-seen, never-forgotten panorama that stretches all the way to Dalt Vila. Sunrise sets here are an experience that leaves lasting impressions on anyone who experiences it.
A new light is breaking across the Balearic clubbing landscape and it shines bright. As Paul van Dyk says himself, "A world of opportunity awaits."
