Description
The deliciously hedonistic autobiography of Claire Manumission – the club promoter, performer and mastermind behind Ibiza’s most iconic club nights.
The most intriguing part of Manumission, Ibiza’s most notorious club night, is that if anyone else told you the story, you would scarcely believe them. Claire Manumission however, one half of the boundary-pushing duo behind the scenes, remembers it all. In all of its decadent glory. This is the story – her story – of the club that changed the scene forever.
The Motel: High Times in 90s Ibiza expertly navigates the cast of 1.5 million guests – from supermodels and superstar DJs, rock royalty and Hollywood A-listers – that passed through its doors and delivers a story through raucous, jaw-dropping anecdotes that capture an incredibly unique point in time, place and culture. It is only right that Manumission gets to tell this story; With her partner Mike, she re-wrote party history by creating a brand new space for it to happen in. And, for once, it is a corner of cultural history seen from the perspective of a woman who tilted club life on its axis.
The afterglow of “Brat Summer” demonstrates that people yearn for either the nostalgia or the lifestyle that Manumission helped curate during her career. Youth culture today is a high-execution homage to the 90s club scene – only, of course, more Insta-friendly. This book will be the catalyst that relaunches Manumission back into the public conscious whilst evolving their legacy for future generations.
Nearly two decades after the club’s last party, interest has never been higher as to just what shocking acts happened behind its doors. It can’t all be true. Can it?
Submit to Claire Manumission as she unleashes a candid, shocking and empowered tell-all from the epicentre of global youth culture.
