Spanish authorities have ordered Ibiza club DC10 to close for a year and pay a fine of €300,000, for over-crowding and noise pollution. The hugely popular after-hours venue was hit with the ruling just days before it was due to re-open after being closed for 57 days for drugs problems last year, so it now faces a hugely uncertain future, according to Ibiza-Voice.com.
“DC 10 can contest the decision, they have one month to do so. The club should then be able to open next weekend till the end of the season,” the Balearic nightlife portal explained. “As previously mentioned the threat against DC10 is stronger then ever,” Ibiza-voice added. “Enjoy it, as it could be the last days of DC10 as we know it.”
Meanwhile, British house music organisation Azuli thumbed their noses at Ibiza’s increasingly harsh club crackdown, issuing a triumphant press release this week boasting about getting away with hosting an unlicensed beach party they staged featuring Radio 1 top dog Pete Tong. “Azuli’s secret beach party in Ibiza on 6th August was closed down by police before it had a chance to get started,” Azuli’s press release explained.
“However, in the true spirit of the best underground parties, Azuli refused to take the closure lying down. They packed up all the equipment and moved the entire party to a new secret location,” it added. “The music, chilled Balearic from the legendary Jon Sa Trinxa, through to the latest electronic edged house from David Piccioni and Pete Tong, saw the party gradually move from a laid back, beach affair into a packed out, hands in the air, unforgettable party as the night progressed,” they added.
Azuli also promised to host another illegal party in the near future that will be ‘even more underground’.

"Azuli refused to take the closure lying down. They packed up all the equipment and moved the entire party to a new secret location" it was hardly secret - everyone knew it was sol den serra as thats why they had their previous "secret" party - which was also why sol den serra then subsequently got a fine for having unlicensed music....
