Carl Cox Will Retire Following Coronavirus Shutdowns
The day many electronic music fans around the world have been dreading is soon to come. Carl Cox has just announced his plans to retire from DJing and music production, largely due to the Coronavirus COVID-19 outbreak that has crippled the electronic music industry in recent weeks and has caused artists to stop touring.. That’s right, Carl Cox will retire.
Carl Cox Predicts “New Kings Will Emerge” In Ibiza Following Space Closure
Ibiza, often hailed as the Mecca of dance music and club culture, has seen a number of setbacks. The infamous island has always enjoyed a reputation as a hedonist paradise, with hundreds of thousands of tourists flocking annually for a summer of round-the-clock partying. Carl Cox recently lamented on the effects the closure of Space in an interview with Mixmag. Cox, who saw his 15-year residency at Space end this season, explained that Ibiza’s rising prices are beginning to prohibit summer partiers from vacationing there.
As the man himself puts it, “It’s slipping… The crown of that [being number one] is slipping. I just think when you have something so good for so long, if youâre up the top, the only way you can go is down.” He continues, “Ibizaâs become so expensive for everybody. The taxis are expensive, the hire cars are expensive, the restaurants are expensive, getting into certain nightclubs is expensive. If youâre not rich, no one can afford to have a really good time anymore like you used to in the old days.”
The beloved Carl then mentions Romania and Croatia as premiere up-and-coming party destinations, noting that crowds of clubbers will travel wherever their favorite artists are performing, enjoying the “mystery” of traveling to new places and navigating an unfamiliar scene. He adds, “Ibizaâs not like that anymore. You know exactly what nights are happening and the DJs [that are playing]. You come out of it and think âJesus, Iâve spent all that money and, actually, the night wasn’t that great.'”
Sadly, the veteran DJ will not take any Ibiza residency in the future although he still plans to play guest sets at a select number of venues such as Amnesia for Marco Carola’s Music On and DC-10 for Circoloco. Carl added that he is confident Ibiza will eventually turn a corner when UshuaĂŻa fully takes over the location previously occipied by Space, adding that “the new kings will emerge”.Click here to read the full interview

Space Ibiza Closing Fiesta Will Feature Nearly 100 Artists
 Back in the distant 1989 many thought it was crazy when Pepe Rosello took control of a massive building in Playa d’en Bossa and transformed it into a nightclub. At the time, that area of the island hosted families and other vacationers looking for the peace of the Ibiza’s idyllic beaches. Back then, the nightlife was either inland or on the other side of the island in San Antonio.
Yet, Rosello’s vision was to change Ibiza and the future of nightlife throughout the world forever, focusing on a different musical, sensorial and hedonistic experience than any other club open at the time.
Everyone knows the pages of history that Rosello and his team have written since. Space Ibiza became one of the undisputed top nightclubs in the entire world, launching the careers of many of today’s most respected artists the likes of Carl Cox, Erick Morillo and David Morales, all the while inaugurating marathon Sunday Night parties and several other long-lasting residencies that soon found their spot on the bucket list of dance music fans throughout the world.
For just over a year now, the nightlife industry and all those who step on dance floors throughout the world have known that Rosello signed a deal to sell the club to the neighboring UshuaĂŻa Group from across the street. Richie Hawtin ended his ENTER. parties last season and Carl Cox followed the news by claiming that his Music Is Revolution residency would end the moment Space Ibiza was set to close.
Although the British producer, a personal friend of Rosello’s, has since revealed that Space Ibiza is looking to open back up in the next couple of years or so at a new location, all that is confirmed right now is that on Sunday the 2nd of October Space will host its final Closing Fiesta. And wow, what a part it’s going to be. We initially announced that residents Carl Cox and Tale of Us would be headlining, and suspected that the rest of the line-up would be huge. Yet, no one was prepared for the size of what has now been announced.
Nearly 100 artists are now scheduled to play the last final hurrah to what many consider to be the best club in the world. Tickets are set to sell out, so if you’re planning to attend we strongly suggest you snag one soon.

Jack White Plays First Vinyl Record In Space
On July 30th, Jack White completed the mission of playing the very first record in space. “A Glorious Dawn” by composer John Boswell, mixed with audio of Carl Sagan describing the universe, was played and peaked at 94,413 feet above Earth.
With a specially designed turntable, the Icarus Craft, that took three years to engineer by close friend and electronics consultant to Third Man Records, Kevin Carrico, and a gold plated vinyl record to maintain its groove and operate in airless conditions with direct sunlight, played for approximately 80 minutes before the high altitude balloon carrying the mechanism burst and projected back to its launch station in Marsing, Idaho.

âAs you rise higher and higher into the thinning atmosphere, temperature and increasing vacuum (lack of air) can cause issues,â Carrico explained. âVinyl has a rather low melting point (160F) and without air to keep things cool, you could wind up with a lump of melted plastic on your hands if a record is exposed to the sun for too long.â
White, the Third Man Records founder, when discussing the achievement said, âOur main goal from inception to completion of this project was to inject imagination and inspiration into the daily discourse of music and vinyl lovers. Combining our creative impulses with those of discovery and science is our passion, and even on the scale that we are working with here, it was exhilarating to decide to do something that hasn’t been done before and to work towards its completion. And, it brings us great fulfillment to pay tribute to the incredible scientist and dreamer that Carl Sagan was. We hope that in meeting our goal we inspire others to dream big and start their own missions, whatever they may be.â
Third Man Records wrote in a statement: âWe could not be happier to check this longtime goal off its bucket list.â

Following two long raids at Amnesia Ibiza by Spanish authorities, including an initial seventeen-hour search and a second one that uncovered over 2 million Euros in cash stashed in hidden compartments, the Tax Agency (AEAT) of Spain has gone on to search Space and Privilege.
Local news outlet Diario de Ibiza, who has kept abreast on the investigation, reports that the AEAT is looking into around 87 nightlife spots across the entire country of Spain, including four on the Balearic island and international clubbing destination. Four people were arrested during the Amnesia raids, with a total of fourteen individuals reportedly under investigation at the current moment.
The AEAT was assisted by Police in their searches of Space and Privilege, with latest reports claiming that other large sums of money were found during these latter parts of the ongoing Operation Chopin investigation.
According to another Spanish newspaper, El Mundo, the four people arrested in the Amnesia operation have been given conditional release â they must periodically appear before a judge and cannot leave Spain without permission. Their passports must also be handed in to authorities as part of their release.
