We Love, the Ibiza institution started by Darren Hughes have just announced it will be taking over each Wednesday for a 16 week run from the 17th of June through to the 30th of September, at the fastest growing club on the island, Sankeys.
We Love’s… place on the island has been long standing since its inception, as Space’s flagship Sunday session it brought a blend of artists to the island from its first night in 1999, maintaining over the years its statute as having one of the finest curated line ups each season. With a melting pot of music styles and not beholden to one genre, We Love brought massive names and paired them with underground talent, showcasing some of the finest DJs and live acts. To do this whilst remaining at the forefront of the scene and maintain its connection with the clubbers attending over such a time frame is testament to the dedication, perspiration and vision of those behind We Love.
Its new inception sees Darren Hughes brings the original acid house ideals from We Love and inputs a unique, boutique version into Ibiza’s latest heavy weight Sankeys. Working together once again with Danny Whittle, who Darren originally started running events with in Ibiza and joining David Vincent, these three are set to define We Love’s second coming.
Expect acts as genre spanning as Daniel Avery to Hannah Wants, residencies from artists intimately connected to We Love, like Sasha who was there at the start of the We Love Parties and will be there to launch the Sankeys instalment of the brands journey. With Sankeys two main rooms the diversity of We Love will be celebrated across each lineup, not limited to just House and Techno, with acts like Sasha to Hannah Wants, Gorgon City to James Zabiela to Rudimental and everything in between!
Despite the quality of its guests, the strength of We Love has always been its exemplary residents, from the very beginning it was these selectors whose championed the We Love philosophy from DJ booth to dance floor. This season’s residents include Jason Bye and Andy Baxter, two men who perpetuate the ideals of We Love and 2 Vilas, born and bred Ibicenco’s who knows both the island, its clubbers and the music that moves them intimately. Also joining We Love is artist Kaz James, who will be holding down a bi-weekly residency.
With a genre smashing approach and not restraining themselves by championing just one sound, We Love have put together one of the most diverse line-ups this season.
