Electric Ibiza Goes Back To Basics In Pacha

When it comes to clubbing names that have had more than a passing influence on the scene, Pacha Ibiza and Back To Basics are two heavyweights. The former celebrates its 50th anniversary this year and the latter boasts over 25 years of driving the underground scene in the UK and beyond. Electic Ibiza brings both of these two great names together on Friday March 17 with Back To basics supremo Dave Beer joined by Jo Mills and 2Vilas in the famous Pacha booth.

Electric Ibiza has been a strong Ibiza winter concept, offering islanders the chance to enjoy some of the biggest names on the global scene out of season, regularly delivering the finest underground line-ups and dedicated to keeping the clubbing capital dancing all year round. Its latest gathering is something very special as UK clubbing pioneer Back To Basics drops in as it celebrates a quarter of a century bringing the finest music to more than one generation of discerning clubber.

There are more and more clubbing names celebrating milestone anniversaries nowadays, but there is only one Back To Basics. The Leeds based phenomenon has spent all of its twenty-five years adopting a principled approach to giving its ever-growing community a place to worship at the alter of underground music. The Back To Basic philosophy of challenging musical parameters, of educating its followers and of unearthing the finest new talent both abroad and at home, has seen it enjoy a hugely successful longevity. In a world where everything is instant and disposable these days, it’s reassuring to know that back To Basics is still doing what it does best – making people dance, nowadays at its spectacular new home of The Church Leeds.

Dave Beer, the driving force behind the amazing party, swaps his new spiritual home of The Church Leeds for Pacha Ibiza and a collaboration with Electric Ibiza that sees him once again lord over one of the island’s dancefloors. Pacha has shown an unswerving committment to Ibiza over the years, constantly bringing some of the most exciting parties and DJs to the island and March 17 sees that continue. Dave Beer has pretty much been there, done that and been awarded the T-shirt; from the stage at Glastonbury to many of the world’s finest clubbing establishments and, of course, at the heart of his own Back To Basics parties. He is no stranger to Ibiza and with Back To Basic passing the 25 year mark, he is in the mood for a musical celebration. Joining him in the Pacha booth is Jo Mills, someone that has enjoyed numerous Back To Basics experiences, as well as playing at many of Ibiza’s best parties. Her recent live session on Ibiza Sonica underlined her ability to choose and mix the perfect cutting edge musical journey.

Completing the Electric Ibiza Back To Basic special is 2Vilas, aka Hector and Carlos, Pacha Ibiza residents and a duo that has made a huge impact in recent years. With an ever-increasing catalogue of releases and remixes, 2Vilas are no longer one of the clubbing capitals best kept secrets as they travel the world keeping up with demand for their unique booth ability. It’s another fantastic opportunity for Ibiza residents and locals to reclaim the dancefloor and enjoy the unique vibe of partying out of season in the company of the finest talent from around the world. Back To Basics is a true clubbing giant that has delivered a vibrant, cutting edge atmosphere from the minute it first opened its doors. It returns to Ibiza as it celebrates its 25th anniversary and if that’s not a reason to get on the dancefloor then we don’t know what is!
