It's been another blistering year for HYTE, the Berlin-based techno fiesta that first landed on Ibiza's shores last summer. Having already set a fiercesome agenda in 2015, this year was about building on its reputation for drumming out intense, penetrating techno, powerful enough to pulverise your soul. In the line of duty for fulfilling this objective at the closing party on Wednesday 5 October was HYTE head boy, Loco Dice, FUSE main man, Enzo Siragusa, Caleb Calloway and Tiga, as well as Chris Liebing, Pan-Pot, Cuartero b2b Mar-T and WHO. See what we mean? No chance of sneaking off for a sneaky nap with that kind of line-up. Anyway, here are some shots of what went down at the final HYTE session of the summer. We're still reeling.
If there's a podium going free, always grab it
Loco Dice before he popped out for some passport photos
He couldn't use this one because it wasn't on a white background
Sun's out, bums out
The son of a preacher, man
The terrace, aka, a massive playpen
Chris Liebing had his tattoo done while DJing. Fact*
Wet t-shirt competition, but only the two guys on the right are playing
There are an awful lot of limbs on show here
The guy in the Argentina shirt is still there, waiting for the football game to start
*Not a single hint of truth to this
