Read the catalogue note →- Event
- Extasis Discotheque — ¡Feel It! nightclub identity/promotion; no dated event identified
- Promoter
- Extasis Discotheque named by the actual card. A historical Ibiza club called Extasis is corroborated by first-person interviews, but its precise corporate/venue equivalence to this graphic brand has not been proved. Distinguish other independently documented venues with the same name, including Cancún in 1989.
- Venue
- Extasis Discotheque (exact venue identity and location unconfirmed)
- Location
- No location, street, city or country printed. One plausible contextual attribution is Extasis in Sant Antoni de Portmany, Ibiza, but this is not asserted as the physical object’s verified origin. A different Extasis Discotheque operated in Cancún, Mexico, in 1989; no supplied visual evidence resolves the venue match.
- Advertised hours
- Not printed; no date-specific programme evidenced.
- Original admission / price
- No admission conditions, voucher privileges, ticket prices, booking fees or entry entitlements printed. '¡Feel It!' is a promotional slogan, not proof of an entrance pass.
- Designer
- No graphic designer, photographer, illustrator, print studio or copyright notice is legible on either face. Do not invent maker or interpret the image as a named artist's work.
- Format
- Standalone rectangular portrait printed paper/card with royal-blue club emblem and ¡FEEL IT! slogan on one face and physically blank reverse. Not a verified invitation, ticket, cassette insert, membership credential, postcard with address, or date-specific club flyer.
- Dimensions
- No physical ruler or measurement supplied. Do not infer exact A-format, postcard dimensions, paper stock weight or finish.
- Orientation
- Portrait front and portrait unprinted reverse.
- Original / reproduction
- Original-looking period nightclub promotional ephemera based on physical print and wear, with no independently authenticated copy-specific production date, source or original distribution. Other Extasis printed material from Ibiza has been auctioned as circa early/mid 1990s but not visually identified as this exact card.
- Edition / variant
- EXTASIS discotheque '¡FEEL IT!' blue single-colour leaping/winged silhouette inside circle, blank reverse. No numbered issue, exact promo print run, dated variant or authenticated artwork match to a geographically fixed club found.
- Condition
- Good+ to Very Good — photo-based, light surface/edge handling.
- Completeness
- Complete as the one original-looking single-sided print supplied. The reverse is intentionally/observably blank and has been photographed. No missing accompaniment established.
- Absolute rarity
- Unknown. Under-documentation of the specific graphic is not a verified rare print state, original distribution quantity or surviving population. Extasis branded posters have circulated in separate physical collections, but the exact blue artwork is not yet independently matched.

Catalogue note
Undated original-looking Extasis Discotheque branded promotional paper card, printed only on its front in royal blue: a stylised leaping/winged dancer enclosed in an incomplete circle above the Extasis discotheque logo and the slogan '¡FEEL IT!'. The reverse is blank. Historical interviews with José Padilla and Carl Cox independently establish a nightclub called Extasis in Sant Antoni, Ibiza, and auction catalogues document other circa-1990s printed Extasis club material. However neither the exact logo nor this print's place and date is confirmed, and another Extasis Discotheque is documented in Cancún in 1989. The object is therefore accessioned as an underidentified club-identity print rather than falsely a dated Ibiza event or VIP pass. Useful minimalist music-design and lesser-documented nightlife history, with no direct event, artist, printer, production quantity or market value evidenced.
Advertised programme: None printed. José Padilla and Carl Cox recalled DJing at a venue called Extasis in Sant Antoni, Ibiza, but neither is named or evidenced as connected to this specific printed card. Do not assign either as a performer on this undated item.
Graphic-design significance: Minimalist royal-blue-on-white branded print dominated by a dramatic leaping or wing-like abstract dancer within a broken circular boundary and custom EXTASIS/low-case discotheque wordmark; clear bottom slogan '¡FEEL IT!' in bold block forms. It is markedly more economical and modernist than complex full-colour rave programmes in TMR, useful to compare methods of making memorable small-club identities before widespread digital listings. The exact designer, period and origin of the silhouette are unverified, as is any direct relation to Ibiza's other Extasis graphics.
Historical context: The original paper supplies only EXTASIS discotheque and ¡FEEL IT!, with an unprinted reverse. British DJ José Padilla explicitly recalled working at Extasis among San Antonio clubs in a firsthand Red Bull Music Academy interview, and Carl Cox similarly identified Extasis among Sant Antoni venues he played in an original El Periódico de Ibiza interview. An auction house sold an original group of circa 1990s Ibiza posters including one described as Extasis; this supports club printed presence but NOT identity of the owner's present card. A 2003 Ibiza Spotlight forum first-person account refers to the 1997–98 hotel-underground Extasis and a pool above. A recent El Diario history also describes a differently situated Éxtasis house conversion reportedly closing late 1980s, so more than one operating location/era may be conflated in sources. Separately, a first-hand collector in Cancún published details of a 1989 'Extasis Discotheque' session, making precise location indeterminate for this undated generic club logo. No recording, venue address, performer or admission information is independently assignable to the object.
Production note: Royal-blue pigment/ink design on pale cream-white paper/card; printing method, paper thickness and coating not verified photographically.
Condition note: Very Good to Good+ from photos: rich legible blue print and an intact, flat-looking paper rectangle, light edge and corner wear, fine small grey/surface marks near the right-hand area of the printed ring, a few tiny spots and subdued handling marks on blank reverse. No conspicuous full-length fold, tear, tape, pinholes or paper loss. Grade provisional, with unknown original paper thickness/finish.
Confidence / uncertainty: DIRECT PHYSICAL: EXTASIS discotheque / ¡FEEL IT!, single-colour cobalt/royal blue figure/ring logo on light stock, blank reverse, slight marks. VERIFIED INDEPENDENT CONTEXT: Ibiza venue-name recalled by José Padilla and Carl Cox; original period Ibiza Extasis poster sold at auction; contemporary recollections of San Antonio club in 1990s; separately a same-name 1989 Cancún club. ATTRIBUTION ONLY: Ibiza as the provenance of this exact design, c.1990s date, original functional use. UNKNOWN: manufacturer, designer, country, precise club, event, audience, edition, size, print run and Market Value.
