THIS VENUE LINE-UP TAKES POLE POSITION

THIS VENUE LINE-UP TAKES POLE POSITION
 
 
Starting on Thursday, November 22nd Iris will be kicking off their F1 celebrations with none other than Subliminal Records boss and US House legend Erick Morillo. Also, known as Mr. Filters due to his insane skills behind the decks with the mixer FX and the various tricks and flairs he has up his sleeve. Being such an integral part of the house music movement in the late 90’s and early 00’s Erick Morillo is the consummate party starter and there is no better person to inaugurate Iris’ 2018 race weekend.
 
For some that would be a hard act to follow but Friday, November 23rd belongs to RogerSanchez and by the time Erick was releasing his first track, Roger was already working on his first album (Secret Weapons Volume 1, 1994). There is little that Roger doesn’t know about and hasn’t already accomplished in music and his star quality in the DJ booth is legendary. Having remixed the likes of Madonna, Diana Ross, Daft Punk and The Police, Roger Sanchez has more than enough in his locker to make any party pop.
 
A firm favourite in the UAE, Jean Claude Ades and his BeCrazy! party brand at Heart in Ibiza have resulted in the French / German artist racking up a legion of fans. On Saturday, November 24th it will be time for Jean Claude to take centre stage for the penultimate party of the weekend and the Ibiza and Mykonos mainstay will relish the opportunity to bring that little slice of heaven that he is so well known for to Iris Yas Island.
 
Saving the best for last naturally seeing as Sunday, November 25th is the final day of racing, I know it’s hard to remember that there is actually a big race happening this weekend with all these outstanding parties going on. Closing out the Iris race weekend shenanigans is Joseph Capriati, an artist whose speciality is shutting parties down. From Fabric to Warehouse Project, Berghain to Awakenings that is what Capriati does and his uncompromising tough tech house and techno DJ sets will have you captivated in no time. Covering all bases throughout this year’s race weekend will have you only wanting more. Sure, there will be spectacular views of the track and you won’t miss a bit of the track action, but with a DJ line-up like this it almost becomes secondary. So, make sure you don’t regret not making the trip to Iris again this year as it looks like each day is going to be fire.

Standing pride of place in Yas Marina, Iris Abu Dhabi at Yas Island is a restaurant with true style and class and if you hadn’t been before you could perhaps be mistaken for thinking that Iris is a full-on club if their line-ups are anything to go by for this coming race weekend.
