A very good private party DJ(He plays for artist and actors) told me that if you want people to dance, the volume must be very high.

As it was my party I told him to do it as he saw fit and indeed almost all the people (200) danced.

Then one neighbour complained and he lowered the volume (just for a while ;) ) and most people stopped dancing almost immediately. When he boosted the volume again, they all jumped to dance.

It was amazing.

Edit: Typo.

Reply to the comment below: I understand your comment, but the party was in a former s.XIX coastal battery fortress,(now an environmental Hotel). This fortress is excavated on the stone , below the ground level (You don´t see it till you are literally falling in the ditch). The place where the Party took place was 10 meters below the ground level, behind a fortress wall, a 6m high ditch and 1.5 km away from the nearest buildings, separated by rolling hills and Mediterranean woods.

No, sorry but I certainly was not that worried of the volume and the neighbours.

For a second there I thought that was one hell of a typo but I found out that "s. XIX" is the Spanish way to write "19th century". "Siglo" is another word for century. Now I'm wondering... why? And why use Roman numerals? Was this originally a Catholic thing?

Orthotypography has a lot of differeces between languages. In Spanish we don't capitalize all words in titles, use romans for centuries, different rules for quotation marks, and a long etc. Nothing to do with catholicism that I'm aware of.

Please could you tell the place? Menorca by chance?

Cap Rocat (https://www.caprocat.com), Mallorca. I was lucky and the hotel was still being build, so the party was relatively cheap. I knew the place from when it was still military and abandoned with empty ammunition cases lying around.

Now it's quite expensive as you have to rent all the rooms in the hotel to have a party. Even then is worth to visit it and have a coffee and see the arquitecture and views!

Glad you didn't let consideration for the rights and comfort of the people who live around you interfere with your need to party as you saw fit.

You had me up until "rights". Consideration (or lack thereof) for their comfort - and just for them as individuals- yes definitely.

For their rights? that's a lot less clear.

Well, in my country people do have the right to sleep unimpeded (between 10pm and 6am). One that is regularly enforced, actually, so it’s not just on the books.

Is that such an outlandish concept?

Interesting. Here in the States, that's usually a regulation at the municipal level if it exists at all. Even in that context, it's not defined as a right - just a law to be completed with.
