Thursday night in Pacha belongs to David and Cathy Guetta and their FMIF brand, which, thanks to the phenomenal success of the French DJ/ producer, not to mention several seasons of amazing parties, has become one of the most popular on the island. This is not a party for the underground heads, this is for those that like to know most of the tunes they are listening too, enjoy some loud explosions of confetti now and then and appreciate the showmanship of the DJs as much as their ability to blend and mix music. The famous club is decked out in ‘girls girls girls’ signs, neon sex and private signs, the dancers are provocative and there is a man in a black rubber suit swinging through the air at one point. The Guetta’s are back and they have indulged their naughty side.

Neon boxes containing girls look down on a packed dancefloor as the FMIF carnival gets going for the season. Pacha is packed with beautiful clubbers all keen to participate in one of the biggest parties on the island and tonight, not only is David Guetta on show but one of the biggest showmen in the dance industry, Steve Aoki, is also in town. Famous for traversing the crowd on an inflatable, spraying them with champagne and throwing cakes at the crowd, he promises to add a bit of spice to the party. Showtek and Daddys Groove complete the line up, making it a high energy launch that sets the pace for the rest of the summer. Even before we have made it into the famous main room, it is clear that this party is picking up where last summer left off. The street leading up to Pacha is packed and the queue for entrance could probably make it all the way back to Talamanca if it really tried!

The main rom looks great, a sea of heads on the dancefloor, people everywhere you look and the neon signs and girls in their ‘windows’ add a little edge to the party. We mentioned earlier that showmanship has almost equaled ability on parts of the dance music scene, and that’s not to say that these guys don’t have the ability, clearly they have a huge following, but that following likes to see it’s protagonist get involved with the crowd and not stand motionless in the booth nodding in time to the track. Steve Aoki is one such showman, he has had his critics, not to mention his rider aired on many social platforms but he certainly knows how to entertain his crowd. The main room is a sea of hands in the air as he drops anthem after anthem, the breakdown resulting in carnage on the dancefloor. At one point, he climbs on to the edge of the Pacha booth, showing remarkable agility and balance to get and stay there, armed with a big cream cake, teasing the crowd below him. One clubber is lifted high in the air by his friends and is hit smack in the middle of the face with the pie, much to the delight of all and sundry! Not the usual antics of a superstar DJ but the crowd lapped it up.

No matter who is on the line up alongside David Guetta, and tonight sees some of the biggest names on the EDM circuit, he is still the star of the show, he is the man they have all come to see and when he takes his place in the booth, the resulting flashes from cameras and camera phones produces a strobe light effect. Guetta proceeds to drop some of his biggest collaborations as the crowd sings along, hands in the air, worshipping the man who was largely responsible for the explosion of dance music, in commercial terms, in the US and further afield. He does his bit of crowd interaction, with the smoke gun the he fires at the people nearest the front of the booth. It’s exactly what you would expect from the FMIF opening party, it is as busy as the club can handle, the tunes are accessible but have the massive crowd going crazy time and again and there may have been a new record set for the amount of confetti dropped on a crowd in one night. That said, there isn’t a single face in the crowd that doesn’t have an ear to ear grin on it and this is going to be the same scenario every week between now and the end of the summer as the biggest act on the planet continues to draw a massive audience. Make sure you have your ticket booked before you leave your house, you don’t want to be on the outside looking in.
