A programação está arrasadora! Destaque pro Garden, agora reformulado e com uma proposta mais intimista que promete ser a pista mais incrível do verão. Isso é apenas um warm up…
Where we dance October 6, 2009
Please, lay back, relax and appreciate with care:

Documentary photography in a naturalistic style from East London’s brave clubbing scene. Exhibition will run till end of November.
Ibiza 2009: the afterparties. All aboard? July 27, 2009
Since the afterparties were totally banned from the island last summer, Ibiza party people came up with a brilliant idea: throwing the post clubbing rendez-vous on a boat sailing in the sea. Every morning lots of embarkations leave San Antoni harbour towards somewhere peaceful in the Mediterranean where they can dance and celebrate without being bothered. Local and top djs line up to play and the cool thing is to rent a boat with your mates, your captain and your deejay and do your own private thing.
The only question is: what if you want to go home? Erm… maybe it’s not even a valid question…
Photo by DJ Rodrigo Brinko. Tomorrow, 28, alongside with DJ Rod Maya he will be playing at Puzzle party at Es Vive Hotel in Figueretas. And, guess what?, with a boat after-party right afterwards from 7 am until ….. who knows? Click HERE for more info.
Lovebox in black & white July 26, 2009
Last Saturday and Sunday London had its Lovebox weekender at Victoria Park. The 9th edition (SinK’s first) had sun and rain and sun and rain – in this order – and the Brit restless party spirit that we love so much. Nobody in this world parties like them!!
Two big stages for big and not so big names (Duran Duran, N*E*R*D aka Pharrell Williams, Friendly Fires, Groove Armada, etc.), three amazing electronic instalations by secretsundaze; Disco Bloodbath/ Horse Meat Disco; and a Rizla into-the-woods space with Xpress-2, Diplo, Bill Brewster and Frank Broughton, Dan Black, etc. Long queues to get in and a lovely disco and funky house vibe. Amusement park and a Mexico area playing live band and mariachis, with folk Mexican characters and José Cuervo free hats. Coming out from the speakers basically (and thanks God for that!) nu disco, old disco and all kinds of deep funky soulful beats.
Happiness on the dancefloor is no longer a trend; it’s real. All in all, it’s all about feel-good music and having fun, playing around, put your fluo make up on, your wellies and do the d.a.n.c.e.!
In this first coverage, gorgeous black & white photos by Nick Ensing. Enlarge for proper appreciation!
Disco and vinyls: what a lovely way to boogie! 
Visit Nick’s website: www.nickensing.com. Book and exhibition coming up. Cheers, Nick!
Be Sónar and dance June 21, 2009
Part 2 has been made possible thanks to the valuable contribution of our lovely coolhunters Livia Cardoso, from Belo Horizonte, and Mari Mineiro, from Lisbon.
Thanks, chicas! We love you!
Be Sónar and smile June 21, 2009
Ahh, we love Sónar. Firstly, for its trendsetter reputation. Second, for actually being the ultimate streetwear runway, giving us the most fabulous possibilities for shooting real people fashion. By seing the exclusive photos that our sweet coolhunter Chris Ortigoza (yes, she’s everywhere that matters) we see that colours are in again, happiness, fun accessories and all that relaxed attitude towards life that everyone should be working on these days. So, forget your problems. Put on your red shoes and dance, Professor Bowie said back in the day.
Have Sónar photos and want to share? Oh, just do it! Email us: somainkinderland@gmail.com Much appreciated!
Ibiza 2009: are you ready to get down? May 26, 2009
The white isle sees important and significant changes on this year’s clubbing calendar, which officially kicks off on Sunday, 31st May, with the massively busy Space Opening Fiesta. Being Ibiza’s specialists and connaisseurs ( 
), it’s our duty and mission to bring to you what’s new and hot for this season on the most magic of the islands.
Check it out:
- Matinée goes from Space to Amnesia and isn’t a morning party anymore. “Space is no longer what it was. Times change and the reality is that Amnesia is the best club in the world”, claims promoter Jordi Pizzarro. Indeed, Amnesia won this year’s prize of best global club at Miami’s Winter Music Conference 24th Annual International Dance Music Awards.
- Hed Kandi relocates to Space on Saturdays nights, from 13th June. They needed more room for a whole new concept (great! fantastic! super!). “The Nu Disco addition to the night has been received with extraordinary level of excitement and enthusiasm”, says Jenni Cochrane, HK’s tour manager. They’ll have a room exclusively dedicated to this new style djs as Crazy P, Todd Terje and Aeroplane to name but a few. A good promise, as Nu Disco parties have been a big craze in dance music lately.
- Baby Marcelo and DJ Oliver, both former La Troya (now every Wednesday in Amnesia) residents, kick off their own thing in the world’s biggest club, Privilege, on Saturdays with The Face of Ibiza.
- The most surpring change, however, is Roger Sanchez leaving his Mondays’ residency at Pacha (tough to play against Tiesto at Privilege and Sven Vath, this year celebrating Cocoon’s 10th anniversary at Amnesia, both on the same night) and teams up with trance king Armin Van Buuren. The S-Man takes over the amazing terrazza while the Dutch ginger rocks the wicked main room.
- Pete Tong opens the gates, for the second year, of his Wonderland at Eden on Fridays and is full speed with the second edition of International Music Summit, starting tomorrow on the island; Car l Cox doesn’t move an inch from Space on Tuesdays, already a classic night out; Subliminal Sessions (featuring Mr. Morillo) and Defected in the House, that have teamed up with David Morales’ Def Mix giving birth to Def Mix In the House, keep rocking Pacha, on Wednesdays and Saturdays, respectively. Oh, and David Guetta’s F*** I’m Famous is now a weekly party, every Thursday, also at Pacha.
We haven’t heard a word about DC10 yet… But, as we know, they play the Phoenix and can reopen Circo Loco, the most famous after hours on the planet, at any moment.
If you’re a lucky enough to be in Ibiza TODAY, don’t miss Funkytecca party at Grial with our mate Rod Maya in the mix. Tomorrow, Jon Sa Trinxa shows why he’s da master playing an exclusive set at – where else? – Sa Trinxa chiringuito, at the magic end of Ses Salines beach.
Stay tuned to SinK. Our birdies on the island won’t let you miss a thing!
For up-to-date info on line-ups, clubbing calendar, hotels, weather, restaurants, etc., we reccommend that you visit Ibiza-Voice.
Warung in Rio May 14, 2009
Our favourite club, mighty Warung lands in Rio de Janeiro this Saturday, 16th, for a one-off party. More info on line up, tickets and venue log in to www.warungrio.com.br . Don’t miss it if you’re around!!
Mamma, blame Sasha (updated!) April 14, 2009
It started with an inspiring moon turning the sea into a silver bay. Then, there were the bunnies (lovely, lovely) giving away chocolate eggs with friendly wishes of Happy Easter at the entrance… and it was almost possible to hold the feeling with our hands. You know when you feel it’s gonna be good? I’ve seen Sasha’s gigs before and never really got caught up by his music. Now, I’m friends with Sasha, the Welsh. What he made was pure alchemy, never seen or heard anything similar. Mild music, even mellow at the end, beautiful. There’s something about that guy. And we all agreed at the end, after a 7-hour incredible set: He’s just NOT a regular bloke – even though, as pretty much every dj who plays at Warung, he also didn’t want to go… His manager: “Man, you just have to. Even if I need to carry you, you are taking the flight.” And so he quietly did, with those mysterious and tired eyes – those, which are definitely not a mirror to that soul.

Around the world on a coffee table April 8, 2009
Daft Punk’s “Around the World” Coffee Table, by Habitat:
And how about making your very own version of “Harder Better Faster Stronger”? http://www.najle.com/idaft/. Our lovely mate Zora sent the link saying it’s “uma delícia”. We totally agree.
PRECAUTION: Please, make sure to have your headphones on, kid.
