Tapping into the energy force commonly referred to as "nostalgia", One More Time Ibiza gets eight dates at Eden this summer.
Picture the scene if you will: you've just spent the last few hours smashing out classic tracks from the past 25 years. As the night draws to a close, only the diehards remain in the crowd - and they're like putty in your hands. The sound engineer gives you the signal indicating the end is nigh, so you slowly fade out of your current selection as the house lights come up.
The crowd are united and vocal in their demands: "one more tune", "one more tune", "one more tune". It's your obligation to send them home happy.
You're going to do it, of course, but not before playing with them a little. Hovering your finger over the deck, you pause for dramatic effect and add a split-second of doubt. Then you slam your finger down and the dancefloor goes nuts below you.
That's the premise here. We ask the headliners one simple but important question: what track are you choosing to close the night? Next up is Slipmatt, who takes charge of the third party on Thursday 25 May.
One more tune | 003 | Slipmatt
Track choice: Rhythim Is Rhythim | Strings Of Life | Transmat | 1987
"It's always going to be a big classic or one of my own. Back in the very early rave days it
was usually Strings Of Life. The first time I heard it possibly could have been Camden Palace on a Friday night in the late '80s, but my fondest memories of it are from playing it at the original Raindance raves at Jenkins Lane in East London.
It's the long build up of soft piano and sharp strings, leading to an explosion of energy that
literally bounces up, down and side to side for the next six and a half minutes, taking you on a journey full of tension and emotion. I used to play it every week, but now I save it for the VERY special moments only…"
Slipmatt breaks with the trend and picks a track made by somebody else - still a certified classic by anybody's estimation.
