Space (Ibiza nightclub)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Space is one of Ibiza's most celebrated nightclubs, famous for its all-night, all-day parties. It was awarded Best Club in the World at the 2001 Dancestar awards and Best Global Club at the International Dance Music Awards in 2005 and again in 2006. Clubnights begin in the evening; however, they usually don't end until well into the afternoon the next day. We Love Sundays @ Space, however, opens at 8 AM on Sunday and keeps going until 6 AM Monday morning. Space is located in Playa d'en Bossa on the outskirts of Ibiza Town, close by the airport (see below).

[edit] History
Space in its current issue began in 1989 when Pepe Rosello, Ibiza nightclub owner since 1963, took over the establishment, which in the four years since it was built had housed a conference hall with a discoteque. The opening policy was from the beginning dovetailed to fit the Spanish licencing laws which state that an establishment must close for at least two hours a day. The first DJs to shape the venue into the type of nightclub it currently is were Alex P and Brandon Block — two British club DJs and residents of Sunday Space Terrace — Space's famous outdoor terrace where big airliners roar overhead accompanied by the dancing masses wishing them bon voyage! Other resident DJs that in large part are responsible for the club's popularity include Reche, Jose de Divina and Jon Ulysses. However, the club enjoys the luxury of being high on the list of clubs where the world's top DJs are able to team up with sultry clubgoers, so there's not a night going by without several world-renowned names occupying the turntables. Such has the status of the club been that Space over the years has seen impromptu sets from DJs such as Carl Cox, Sasha, Erick Morillo, Sven Väth, Paul Oakenfold, James Zabiela and many other world class DJs.
[edit] 22 hours Sunday sessions
Space's famous 22-hour Sunday sessions began in 1999. The concept was awarded Best Club Night award at the 2002 Dancestar awards for We Love Sundays @ Space — a weekly party which opens at 8 AM on Sunday and keeps going until 6 AM Monday morning.
