Hi folks,

While I think blogging is for complete and utter wankers…..lots of cool things have been going on…….and I keep saying:

“Man, I gotta write some of this shit down”.

So i’m going to try to do a bit of a catch-up for past 6 months…then stick with regular updates. We’ll see how it goes.

Salud,

Maitland

In the meantime……enjoy this.

Ibiza trip and mix

maitland — Sun, 22 Oct 2006 05:06:09 +0000

Hi friends,

Finally I have posted the Ibiza radio show/mix!

Ibiza Trip Mix | September 2006

mp3 here

Podcast here

Streaming here

I hope this mix comes close to capturing the magic of the island of Ibiza. I’ve been wanting to do a chill out mix for a long time….and now was the right time. Ibiza is the ultimate in chill out for me. (With a party available when you want it.) it’s perfect.

enjoy the music.

Mucho abrazos y besos,
con amor!

Estonia Day 2 and Friday Night’s party

maitland — Sun, 22 Oct 2006 02:44:50 +0000

On Friday Hugh and I had a really nice day sightseeing around town. The weather was crystal clear and not a cloud in the sky. By nighttime some people were feeling a little worse than others after thursday night! The venue for Friday’s party was perfect. Very warm and intimate with lots of candles and smiles. It went off. At one stage I was across the square @ 3am and all you could hear was: Oomph. Oomph. Oomph in the distance. Hot!
Day 2 gallery is here

Friday night party here

Special thanks to Drummi and Orav for a great time in their country.

Peace. Maitland

Estonia!

maitland — Tue, 17 Oct 2006 10:22:49 +0000

Sorry for the delay in posting pics etc… Crazy busy with work! So, back to the trip.

I flew from Barcelona and Hugo flew from London. We reunited in Tallinn Estonia!! With great sadness I left BCN and Coco… it wasn’t easy….but I also wanted to check out a NEW country I had never visited. Estonia! (also the home of Skype). I’m on skype@: Symbio_Agency
Estonia is beautiful. And we were hosted by Drummi and Orav. Very cool guys who have been throwing parties here in Estonia for 10 years plus! We also had a few days here to check out the sites which was nice to be able to relax and do some sightseeing. It’s beautiful and the history is interesting and thought provoking.

An impromtu party happened on Thursday which was cool. But the party on Friday night was awesome. Incredibly warm, intimate and super cool. Candelas Estoinia style.

Day 2 and Friday night pics coming soon!!!

Barcelona, Spain

maitland — Sat, 07 Oct 2006 07:38:53 +0000

After Ibiza Hugh, Coco and I all flew to Barcelona. Coco’s home. I stayed with Coco in Barcelona a few years back and I love the city. Hugh was able to stay for a couple of days but then had to head back to London for a couple of parties. I decided to stay in BCN for a week or so….Later i’d fly directly to Estonia to reunite with hugo.
Coco lives at the beach about 20 mins outside of the city in Castelldefels. It’s very warm, sunny, relaxed and a super chilled out place. We headed into the city a few times and had a nice time wandering around checking out some sights. Once again Barcelona consisted of a series of bars, tapas, clubs, paella, beaches, dinners, friends and family. Very cool.
One of our favorite places to go in BCN is “La Macarena”. I found this place competely by accident one night 5 years ago. This place is probably one of my favorite club’s, not only in Spain, but the world. Seriously. It’s perfect. It only has a small bar, an intimate dancefloor, centally located DJ and a bathroom. That’s it. A square box with an incredible sound system. Found down a small sidestreet. You open a HUGE soundproof door to enter….and once in, it’s GOING OFF! When you walk in it’s always a shock because the door dumps your right out on the dancefloor and you are immediately swept away by the party. And the music is always GREAT! Techie and spacey! Everyt time. A few people come in over the night….but noone ever leaves. Till the end. (closing time is 5:30am). I highly recommend it!!!

clubbing clarification

maitland — Fri, 06 Oct 2006 21:35:58 +0000

a quick note on my earlier comments about Pacha. Rock on down there and check it out. I’m not anti club. rather I think i’m anti “mega club”. or large commercial or corporate clubs. Typically in these situations you’ll have more punters than can be comfortable. it’s a business. And what comes with that are things like waiting in lines. not just outside…but you may have to wait just to purchase an overpriced drink. Obviously, i’m not referring to wonderful dance parties like: The Loft, Candelas, DeepSpace, Electric Chair or any of the intimate parties on this trip. I think the big difference is that a mega club generally is full of punters who were gathered via a shotgun marketing approach vs. a group of friends who come together for music and tend to respect and love the space, the music and the party. Anywho!
Keep on!
