A dream come true

The creators decided to embark on the adventure, erecting what is now one of the temples of techno

The creators, brothers Sito and Antonio Lara, decided to embark on the adventure by erecting what is now one of the temples of techno. Being very young, they made the decision to build with their own hands the DC10 Bar. What neither of them imagined is that their most personal project would end up transforming into a club and a leading brand in the international music scene. In fact, Sito confesses that his motivation was to create a place to extend meetings with friends, delight in good live music, and above all, enjoy.

More than 30 years have passed since DC10 took off, marking a before and after in Ibiza. A meeting point among the social elite of the moment that gave visibility to local bands and cultural initiatives. If three decades ago, everyone knew each other at DC10, today the feeling of familiarity and closeness remains the same. Among thousands of people, there is a bond that is hard to find and very valuable: the passion for music and that magical vibration experienced while dancing.

There's no DC without airplanes, and the fascinating sensation caused by their proximity when they are about to land is indescribable. It's as if you could scratch the belly of the tin bird while suspended in the air. How could airplanes not be part of the club's identity?

Aunque estuviera a punto de llamarse U2 -”porque era un grupo que estaba muy de moda en ese momento y a Antonio le encantaba”- finalmente se descartó por las más que evidentes dificultades para registrar la marca. Se barajaron muchos otros, todos ellos relacionados con la aviación. Primero fue ‘Hangar’, por la proximidad con la carretera del aeropuerto; después ‘Plus Ultra’, el nombre de un hidroavión que voló entre España y Argentina marcando un hito en la historia de la aviación mundial; y por último, el DC10, uno de los aviones más grandes que existía en ese momento: 250 pasajeros, alcance transcontinental, tres motores en lugar de cuatro. En resumen: la revolución de los vuelos comerciales y que, puntualmente, llegó a aterrizar en Ibiza. Y de revolución en revolución, el club quedó bautizado y ligado al aeroplano de por vida.

35 years of history offer a lot: many anecdotes, alliances, efforts, successes, and also some disagreements. The most important thing is that the essence of DC10 remains intact. As Sito Lara describes it, 'DC10 is a dream come true.' A place that doesn't understand classes or labels, but emanates freedom, daring, magic, and vibration. A close and familiar space that offers a unique experience attracting thousands of visitors. A club where sound and music are the true protagonists of its parties. Where will this adventure end? Nobody knows. But really, does it matter?
