GLITTERBOX, one of the most-talked about new Ibiza party in recent years, for this summer is moving to Space Ibiza to host the Terraza. The weekly Friday party will open on 12th June, and run for 16 weeks until 25th September.

Todd Terry, Joey Negro, Horse Meat Disco, The Revenge and Simon Dunmore play the Glitterbox Opening Party on Friday 12th June.
In 2014, Glitterbox arrived amid a sense of excitement sparked by on-island word of mouth and an understanding that Defected were setting out to create a different kind of party; one that combined a ‘music first’ policy with a sense of glamour – eschewing the flashy gimmicks and the homogenous thud that had become ubiquitous elsewhere. 
Glitterbox’s weekly soundtrack of expertly curated DJ sets of classic and contemporary house, disco and electronic music, drew a loyal following of locals, industry, club freaks, workers and fashion folk. As the buzz reached far beyond the Balearics, visiting international clubbers came in droves. By August, and then throughout September, Glitterbox was selling out on a weekly basis, culminating in a typically hedonistic, riotous closing party that brought back the original spirit of Ibiza.
Staying true to its intentions, Glitterbox’s musical highlights were many. Hercules & Love Affair played two incredible live shows, India’s PA was mesmerising, while DJ sets from Kenny Dope, Horse Meat Disco, Todd Terry, Dimitri From Paris and Joey Negro all added to the Glitterbox Ibiza legend.
But that was last summer and just the beginning. A new season beckons. There are memories to be made, and more fun to be had.
Released on 31th May, Defected presents ‘Glitterbox Ibiza 2015′ is a new mix album that represents the nights musical spirit. Compiled and mixed by Defected’s founder Simon Dunmore, the 3 mix set features some the biggest names in disco and house music including Chaka Khan, Ten City, Salsoul Orchestra, Rare Pleasure and Lana Del Rey.
