Space Ibiza

Space, Ibiza
27 Years at the top
 
Legendary Ibiza nightclub, Space, closed its doors with a bang after 27-years dominating the white isle’s EDM scene.  With closing events throughout September and October, including Carl Cox’s final Music is Revolution fiesta, Space gave partygoers a send-off they’ll remember forever.    
 
ER Productions has been supplying lasers to Space for the last 5- years, which includes Carl Cox’s residency, Sundays at Space and the 27th Anniversary fiesta amongst other special events.

One of the most versatile venues on the island, the club’s physical space lends itself perfectly to laser production, which gave ER Productions the opportunity to create a range of distinctive looks.  

Working closely with the club’s technical team helmed by Gonzalo Menéndez, ER’s resident Ibiza laser technician, Seth Griffiths, created a dynamic laser installation this year using scanning lasers including Laserblades, Beambursts and ARC Regus systems, which were controlled through FB4 racks. 

Beamburst lasers were rigged across the bottom of the LED screens, which flanked the side of the stage and created a striking effect.  Additionally, Laserblades lined the edge of a huge screen at the centre of the stage behind the DJ, which was operated and programmed live by Griffiths during shows. 

To create a different look for Carl Cox’s big finale, Seth programmed the show to reflect the atmosphere on the night. “He [Carl] arrived armed with vinyl for his last set, which set the tone of the laser design. It was a much simpler, cleaner look, using retro style laser content to reflect the ‘old-school’ vibe”, said Griffiths after the show. 

All the lasers used at Space were customised to create a range of unique looks, which couldn’t be replicated by any other venue in Ibiza. For example, customised crisscrossing Beambursts and scanning lasers were used on Carl Cox’s shows and a bespoke DMX controlled spinning truss, rigged with ten Beambursts, was created for Sundays at Space.
