CLASSIC DANCE ANTHEMS - DJ GIZZO - PART 19

http://www.myspace.com/djgizzo1
Amnesia is home to the hugely successful Manumission club night since mid August 2007. This unexpected mid-season change of venue from Amnesia's biggest rival, Privilege, took place over a row between Manumission's organizers and the club's owner which peaked when the owner locked the doors to the event organizer on Friday August 3, leaving thousands of ticket-holders stranded outside the club. Another successful club night is Cream, one of the longest-running UK nights on the island. Club Cocoon, promoted by the veteran DJ and producer, German Sven Väth, is another popular night, taking the share of Monday's crowds since Manumission, for many years its biggest rival at Privilege, moved to Fridays in 2006. Amnesia was also home to the famous club night La Troya Asesina night up until 2006, when it finally moved to Space to end a long association with the venue. One of the oldest clubs on the island (island legend Alfredo was a resident in the 80s, when it was open air and the haunt of celebrities in the days before thousands of clubbers flocked to the island every season) it opened in the 1970s, and survived closures and memorable summers alike before it finally cemented its position as one of the island's premier clubs in the early 90s.The history of Amnesia really begins in April 1970, when the Planells family who had inhabited the house for five generations decided to move in to town and sell their 'finca' (country house) to a widow from an aristocratic background. Ibiza, which had become a destination for tourism already in the fifties, was at that time a hive for counterculture and idealists and the building that was to become Amnesia turned into a meeting point with hippie bands playing and other facets of hippie culture taking place. In May 1976, Antonio Escohotado, a young man born in Madrid and with a degree in philosophy, who had arrived on the island two years earlier to start a new life, signed a lease with the landlady for use of the premises and he decides a name for the discotheque he is going to establish: "The Workshop of Forgetfulness". He wanted to express that when people go out at night it is to forget their problems and indulge in an unknown world far away from ordinary routine. However, already the next day he realizes that the Greek word Amnesia contains it all. Two years later, in 1978, Ginés Sánche, a manufacturer from Madrid takes over Amnesia and a decade filled with ups and downs begins. Unexpected closings alternate with wonderful summers with capacity crowds in active competition with the other discotheques, such as Ku (now Privilege), Pacha, Glory's and Lola's (the last two have long since closed). In the 80s a young Basque named Prontxio Izaguirre takes over the running of Amnesia, and the music changes to dance music, a mix between pop and funk, and hip hop also enters the scene. Now freestyle mixing is permitted and house is about to take over. The Ibizencan discotheques introduce the magic of open rooftops, the original Balearic Beat emerges spearheaded by legends like DJ Alfredo Fiorito and DJ Huggy MacPherson. On the night of June 22, 1991 Amnesia reopens under MFC management. It is at this time that the clubs of Ibiza are beginning to gain international fame. Due to complaints from its neighbours Amnesia has to cover its open-air dance floor, still, the club experiences massive expansion with the number of bars increasing from four to 16, and from a staff of 30 to more than 200 employees during the summer festivities. The staff now includes waiters, spectacular go-go dancers, security, light-jockeys, as well as office workers.
