IBIZAN BITCH
For close to three years Bitch has resided in Manchester, studiously
going about its house and electro duties. Often popping up amongst
the top ten Northern nights in DJ Mag, and with an always on-point
mix of fresh talent (think H2) and established entertainers (step
forward Jon Carter) alike, the Bitch gaggle is doing Ibiza in 2009.
It’s no mean feat to host regular discos in the birthplace of acid
house euphoria – and to get invited back – but Bitch regularly nailed
it at Manchester’s Sankeys: a venue which has initiated and inspired
generations of ravers the world over. Whilst DJs like Micky Slim and
Funkagenda are their electro staple at home, Bitch bespoke
themselves for the White Isle, instead twisting to a more carnival
spirited house and techno beat. Summer guests will include bouncy
tech-house fiend, Kate Lawler, and resident Dutchman, Mason: a man
who’s gotten on the right side of Deep Dish’s Sharam, Fatboy Slim
and dance don Pete Tong for his remix work. Not shy on the effects
box, Mason’s sure to keep the dance floor locked throughout the
summer season with hot 12s of his own, and scorching wax from the
best of the rest.
Also featuring will be San Francisco’s Josh Gabriel (of 90s ‘& Dresden’
fame who in ‘07 and ‘08 won the WMC award for ‘Best DJs’) with his
bag of synth heavy house and techno tracks; Oliver Lang, a chunky
and jacking man who acutely tailors his sets according to the dance
floor vibe – be he spinning at Judgment Sundays, Bora Bora or
Ministry Of Sound – and who sites Danny Tenaglia as an main
influence; and Oliver Giacomotto, an electro house producer who
regularly tops the Beatport charts for his unhinged and original take
on our beloved 4/4 sound. The likes of Carl Cox and Mistress
Barbara support Giacomotto’s tunes, and he regularly teams up with
EDM legend John Acquaviva for studio work.
Having consistently laced the basement of Sankeys with driving
rhythms from dance music’s top few, it’s no wonder Bitch has an
unadulterated party vibe and loyal following: one which it will no
doubt transplant to newly refurbed Ibizan home, BoHo.
Each Tuesday of summer 09 the crew will get amongst the eccentric,
circular themed interior and opulently decorated confines of BoHo for
proper a session. With fairly priced drinks, entry capped at 20 Euros
and a state of the art light and sound installation; the new San
Antonio venue will be a wise choice for any in-the-know dance heads.
With its place in history already affirmed – having long hosted
worker’s parties beyond official closing time as the Extasis venue –
BoHo aims to put the punter first. Not bad for a rock which normally
likes to sap as much money from your bank account, as it does
moisture from your lobster skin.
