CQ / Classics at Sound Nightclub with Rinzen b2b at the end

I was invited to play a four set of 90s trance, techno and progressive to legendary VUM open air party in Helsinki. The open air event takes place at Ääniwalli which is the #1 electronic music venue in Finland. Set goes from deeper UK progressive sounds to original German underground trance & techno and ends with late 90s uplifting sound of Dutch trance. This was a really special party to play. Thank you very much Lil Tony, Ääniwalli crew and everybody on the dancefloor for the good vibes <3

Orkidea - Journey through 90s trance, techno and progressive (Live at VUM 2024)

Amnesia is a nightclub on the Spanish island of Ibiza. It opened in 1976 and won the title of Best Global Club in 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2011 at the IDMA Awards in Miami.The club is located close to the village of San Rafael on the highway between Sant Antoni de Portmany and Ibiza Town.

History:

The so-called Main Room of Amnesia in 2012
The finca (country house) that would become the Amnesia nightclub was sold in April 1970 by the Planells family, who had inhabited the house for five generations, to a widow from an aristocratic background. In May 1976, the widow signed a five-year lease on the house to Antonio Escohotado, a Madrid-born philosopher who had arrived on the island five years earlier to start a new life.

Ibiza, which had become a destination for tourism in the 1950s, was in the 1970s a hive of counterculture and idealists. Escohotado sought to turn the old farmhouse into a place for hippie bands and culture. He launched a discotheque named El taller del olvido ("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, co-founder Manolo Sáenz de Heredia proposed the Greek word Amnesia. Initially, admission was cheap, 25 pesetas (equivalent to 1.74 EUR now) including one soda or beer. There were no access restrictions. Escohotado was not interested in the commercial operation and left after 8 months. The dance floor was in the open air and sessions lasted until 12 or 1 pm.

In 1978, Ginés Sánchez, a manufacturer from Madrid, took over Amnesia. Unexpected closings alternated with summers with capacity crowds in competition with the other discothèques, such as Ku (now Privilege Ibiza), Pacha, Glory's, and Lola's.

In the 1980s, Prontxio Izaguirre took over Amnesia, changing its theme to dance music, a mix between pop and funk, and hip hop. Freestyle mixing was permitted, house was about to take over, and Balearic Beat was invented by DJs such as Alfredo Fiorito. In 1984, the drug of choice at Amnesia was mescaline from Valencia. In the late 1980s, the routine circuit was:

Until 3 am, the bars at the port.
Until 5 am, Pachá.
Until 6 am, Ku.
Amnesia.

On 22 June 1991, Amnesia reopened under MFC management. The clubs of Ibiza began to gain international fame. In the mid-1990s, Ezna Sands brought UK promoters and labels, including Joseph Mullen, onto the Balearic Island and into Amnesia. The island, once merely a destination for holidaymakers aged 18 to 30, became a mecca for dance music enthusiasts. While earlier, each club had a personality, now the parties depended on the theme or the hired DJ. In July 1995, techno parties were brought from Germany.

The club expanded, increasing its bars from four to 16, and growing from a staff of 30 to a summer workforce of more than 200, including waiters, go-go dancers, security, and administration staff. As of 2003, the venue had a capacity of 5,000 people and is divided into two areas: Main Room and Terrace.

Since 2005, Amnesia has been run by the Liverpool nightclub Cream, created and founded by Joseph Mullen in 1995. Mullen sold the brand to Cream UK for £4.8 million and retired from the music industry.

In the 2010s, the government of the Balearic Islands promoted luxury tourism.

The club hosts Cocoon, a party by Sven Väth. The club has also hosted popular nights such as La Troya Asesina.

Over the years, the club hosted DJs and live performers such as Calvin Harris, Swedish House Mafia, Debbie McGee, Alesso, Marshmello, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, Steve Aoki, Eric Prydz, Sigala, Sigma, Jonas Blue, Sonny Fodera, Gorgon City, Faithless, Chase & Status, Pete Tong, Fatboy Slim, Duke Dumont, Danny Howard, Philip George, Regard and DJ Fresh.

Coldharbour Day. Your day. The Coldharbour family's day. United.

The special second gift of the summer, following on from the emotional Sunrise Set, but one that was no less challenging, because I know how much you all value this annual occasion.

It is quite a journey, starting off very deep and building it up to a crescendo - new tunes, current favorites, flashbacks from the Coldharbour archive, GDJB classics, and who can forget those pesky IDs - they are all there. 

Hope you immerse yourself in this set, and as always please leave me your thoughts in the comments. Thanks to all of the DJs who contributed sets, to Afterhours FM for continuing to make room for us every year, and most importantly of all, to you for listening, because Coldharbour Day forever will be our day to celebrate together.

With love,
Markus x

I did a bunch of extended and open to close sets this year, and managed to record a few of them - this one is probably my favourite.  I figured it might come in handy for any long travels over the holidays ;)  
Merry Christmas!
