Update 11.09.2020: 
Most likely this is not a live set from Ibiza, but a studio mix. Here is a comment from https://soundcloud.com/farnesbarnes74: "This is not the mix from the night, this is a studio mix. I was there, and Oakey was the first DJ on. The atmos was shite, and he knew it. That's why he played Itty Bitty Boozy Woozy handbag shite. We were only there for Sasha anyway - thank God for B-Tribe's Nanita with the roof open, a defining clubbing moment."
