Obviously, no matter how pure your intentions and how big your ambitions are, when you plan to resurrect an institution as beloved as Space, there will always be doubters. That comes with the territory. However, we think Eden may have silenced the naysayers with this one...
Playing the opening party on Friday 26 April (immediately after International Music Summit) is a massive bill to get the ball rolling on this new incarnation.
In the Main Room alone, rechristened the Discoteca for added nostalgia, you can find Armand Van Helden (pictued above), Jason Bye, Kesia and Richy Ahmed as well as two huge back-to-backs.
One combo is frequent booth partners Davide Squillace and Matthias Tanzmann, while the second pairs Techno thumper Chris Liebing and queen of groove Nicole Moudaber.
In fact, the revival of Space is such a big deal, that despite vowing retirement, Simon Dunmore has been lured back behind the decks. Proof that a DJ never truly throws in the towel, despite their protests.
That's not all though. In room two, also renamed the Redbox, there's also a line-up worthy of being a main room line-up.
Looked after by Issues, Detlef, Jesse Calosso, Federico Grazzini, Daniel Orpi and Niteplan take care of business.
We think we're justified in calling this the biggest line-up to ever grace San Antonio. Thus far...
If this is the calibre of the bill we get every week, then not only will dissenting voices quieten, but the return of Space will have made its mark felt. We're excited to see who else is lined up.
