Men are mortal, but myth and legend are eternal. The old Claptone is dead... but a new one has respawned at Amnesia. Bringing more magic and mystique to the White Isle than ever before, Claptone's move to Amnesia marks a new era for The Masquerade in 2024.
The mystery of Claptone means that he belongs to no time and no place, yet this is a homecoming of sorts. Amnesia was the first club to host The Masquerade when it threw a number of takeovers in 2018.
From the outset, Claptone has been the perennial lone wolf - a being whose only companion is his shadow. Yet, he doesn't embark on this new era alone.
Taking over the Main Room is inclusive safe-space HE.SHE.THEY. Who was expecting that peep-hole reveal?
HE.SHE.THEY. brought individualism and experimentation to Amnesia in 2023
Is that a bit of a mismatch on paper? Only at first glance.
With The Masquerade's suggestive undertones and HE.SHE.THEY's sexual empowerment, maybe they have more in common than you'd care to first admit? Both overlap in terms of having a strong visual identity and each one commits to a strong artistic direction.
This is also going to be a party where the podium dancers come into their own. Slay!
Plus, with accessible House music on the Terrace and more serious underground tones in the Main Room, each part complements the other quite well. You say "odd couple", we say merely "odd" - and we're absolutely here for it. Who wants "normal" where Ibiza is concerned?
If you seek to embrace the island's long-held ideals of liberation and individualism, then join Claptone and the misfits at HE.SHE.THEY. this summer. Loosen your inhibitions, head below and grab a ticket.
