With last weekend's Space Closing Party marking the official end to the Ibiza season for 2005, clubs and promoters can finally step back from the grueling week-in week-out promotion and craziness of the past three or four months.

For the We Love production team, the masterminds behind the Homelands festival in England and more recently, We Love...Sounds in Sydney, the unexpected hiccup is a blemish on a formula which has otherwise proved to be immensely popular with clubbers and music-lovers.
