La Troya - Wednesday in Space

It has taken La Troya Asesina six years to go from an underground gay gig to flamboyant mainstream success, but it was never very likely to fail. The man behind it, the seminal club promoter Brasilio de Oliveira, brought it to Amnesia from Privilege, no doubt to the latter club’s continuing despair. In 2006 it jumped again, this time to Space.

La Troya book no expensive guest djs, maintain close ties with Ibiza’s vibrant gay community, and specialise in delivering a top notch production based on a different theme every week. For a taste of what to expect, get yourself a spot in a bar on the parade route in Ibiza Town sometime after midnight and watch the costumed fairies float past.

It’s the most popular Wednesday night on the island, and quite possibly the biggest gay club night in Europe. Its crossover appeal has diluted the quotient of man lovers, but it’s still sexed-up house music from start to fruity finish.
