THE AYIA NAPA STORY. The Real Deal. Summer 1999.
Colin Williams

Four or five years ago me and another "London Underground 89.4fm" colleague of mine DJ Ramsey started playing UK Garage in Ayia Napa. To say started was an understatement, as the opposition to it was fair. With the exception of Nick Power @ the Kool Club, Finos Melas @ Black and White, and the Alexander Bar crew, the club and bar owner were not having it. It was hard work, but we had some great times. Who can forget the early Kool Club mega sessions with Steve Jackson as MC, Andy "Man United" Cole as chief cheerleader (ringleader), and the London "Spot" boys causing extreme havoc.

Well look where we are now. Four years on we have the first "Ayia Napa on the Map" summer. Is it a good or bad thing:

Good: The people, the great great people. The Music. Lots of the music I love, albeit maybe too much. Nissi Beach, need I say more. DJ Debates on Nissi Beach. Meeting old friends in a hassle free zone. Ayia Napa.

Bad: Too many promoters. Too many DJs Too many MC's Too much attitude Too many people who forgot they are actually on holiday.

So for next summer how do we make it better:

Leave the attitude at home, and enjoy yourself. Treat the locals with respect and they will treat you like family. Stop trying to make Ayia Napa Ibiza - It isn't and never will be.
