Sven Väth & Richie Hawtin Cocoon closing party @ Amnesia Disco Invaders Comic
Amnesia is club in San Antonio (Sant Antoni), Ibiza situated in the Islas Baleares. The ‘finca’ (country house) was built in the late 1800's and occupied by five generations of Planells. Then much much later, it was sold to Fuencisla Maria Martinez de Campos and Munoz. In 1974, a young man from Madrid, with a degree in philosophy came on to the scene. His name was Antonio Escohotado, and he rented the house and was known as an apostle for drug experimentation's. By this time hippies came to the island looking for an untouched nature paradise. Eventually the house became "Amnesia" derived from a Greek etmythology. The hippie’s played in live bands danced till dawn, prepared vegetarian meals and experimented with LSD. Later, Ginés Sánchez took over Amnesia and its nocturnal life and promotes it throughout Europe. The Discotheque went from egg-carton soundproofing to a new, powerful and captivating sound. In the 1990's the Berlin wall came down and house music became international. In 1999 UNESCO's World Heritage committee recognized Ibiza's unique cultural and historical legacy, demonstrated both through the historical city and the archaeological sites around its periphery. The island also reaches one hundred thousand habitats.
Present: Every Monday night Cocoon takes over Amnesia.......and Techno Disc-jockeys like Sven Väth to Danny Tenaglia get on the mixers...here is a flyer from the most recent closing party. The dj's are depicted in comic translation!
