This Week’s Parties in Ibiza (September 18 - 24)

If Part 1 of our guide was about the build-up - residencies signing off, September energy peaking, and early October madness - then Part 2 is about the final sprint to the finish line. These last two weeks of the Ibiza season are legendary: when clubs pull out their most ambitious lineups, DJs play marathon sets, and the atmosphere mixes euphoria with bittersweet goodbyes.



Ibiza never goes quietly. The island saves some of its biggest surprises, longest sessions, and most emotional moments for the very end. From marathon techno at Amnesia to Pacha’s dual grand closing, from The Trilogy’s festival-scale finale to Circoloco’s Monday madness, here’s how Ibiza 2025 says farewell.


Amnesia - The Marathon Closing Festival





When you talk about Ibiza closings, Amnesia is always at the heart of the conversation. This year, the club is doubling down on its reputation with a two-day Amnesia Closing Festival on October 10 and 11.



Described as “two intense days where music and energy speak louder than ever – night & day, day & night”, the festival is essentially a 48-hour love letter to house and techno. The first wave of the lineup already reads like a who’s who of electronic royalty: Amelie Lens, Nina Kraviz, Honey Dijon, Deborah De Luca, Marco Faraone, Joris Voorn, East End Dubs, Andres Campo, and many more. And as always with Amnesia, you can expect surprise guests added last minute.



What makes this so iconic isn’t just the names, but the setting. The Main Room delivers pounding techno until your bones rattle, while the Terrace is where magic really happens. There’s nothing like that sunrise moment, when daylight pours in, and thousands of tired-yet-blissful ravers cheer in unison. For many, this is the single most unforgettable experience of Ibiza closings.



Amnesia’s Closing Festival is for the hardcore: prepare for long hours, multiple dance floors, and the kind of stamina-testing session that proves why Ibiza is the world capital of electronic music.



Pacha - A Grand Finale in Two Parts





Pacha Ibiza is wrapping up its season with not one, but two nights of grand closing celebrations. It’s a fitting end for the island’s oldest superclub, which continues to balance its glamorous legacy with forward-thinking bookings.



First up is Grand Closing Part 1 on Saturday, Oct 11, headlined by Australian giants Rüfüs Du Sol, who will be delivering a special DJ set. Known for their emotive live shows, this format lets them dive deep into their influences - melodic house, indie electronica, and festival-ready anthems - all reimagined for the Pacha dancefloor. It’s set to be a goosebumps night, bridging the line between euphoric and intimate.



Then comes Grand Closing Part 2 on Sunday, Oct 12, with house icon Roger Sanchez returning to the booth. A true Pacha favorite, Roger has been part of the island’s story for decades, and his extended house set is the perfect nod to the club’s roots. Adding balance to the bill, techno powerhouse Paco Osuna joins in, creating a crossover of soulful house and driving underground beats.



Combined, these two nights tell the story of Pacha: one night looking forward with global superstars, and the next honoring the roots of house and the enduring power of a veteran behind the decks.



The Trilogy - Ushuaïa, Hï & UNVRS Join Forces

For the first time in Ibiza history, three of the island’s superclubs have teamed up to create a single closing weekend concept: The Trilogy. Curated by The Night League (the team behind all three venues), this is arguably the most ambitious closing experiment ever staged.

Day 1 - Oct 11 (Ushuaïa): The open-air extravaganza features Eric Prydz, Adam Beyer B2B Chris Avantgarde, Paul Kalkbrenner (live), and Franky Wah. Expect Prydz’s cinematic visuals and Kalkbrenner’s live energy under the Balearic sky.

Night 1 - Oct 11 (Hï Ibiza): Once Ushuaïa winds down, the action moves across the road. Highlights include Jamie Jones B2B Joseph Capriati, Damian Lazarus, Indira Paganotto, and TSHA. From tech-house to pounding techno to melodic bliss, this lineup covers the spectrum.

Day 2 - Oct 12 (UNVRS): The finale of the trilogy unfolds at Ibiza’s new hyperclub, UNVRS. The lineup is jaw-dropping: Anyma (live), Peggy Gou, Black Coffee, ANOTR, Rampa, and Vintage Culture. It’s the perfect mix of melodic techno, Afro-house, stylish grooves, and festival-scale performances.

Together, these three events form a two-day festival across three venues, essentially uniting Ibiza’s present and future in one closing statement. If you want to see the island making history, this is the weekend.



DC10 - Circoloco’s Last Stand





And then, there’s DC10. For many, the true end of the season isn’t the glitzy spectacle of Trilogy or the polished production of Amnesia - it’s the raw, sweaty chaos of Circoloco Closing.



On Monday, Oct 13, the infamous hangar by the airport runway hosts one of the most anticipated parties of the year. Circoloco has been running every Monday since May, bringing together a who’s who of underground house and techno: Seth Troxler, The Martinez Brothers, Peggy Gou, Amelie Lens, Dixon, and more. Its closing night is traditionally an all-day, all-night affair, kicking off in the early evening and pushing deep into Tuesday morning.



What makes Circoloco special is its no-frills philosophy. There are no pyrotechnics, no LED mega-screens, no gimmicks. Just a dark room, a packed terrace, and the best DJs in the world playing for a crowd that lives for the underground. The Circoloco closing is often emotional - it’s the last big gathering of Ibiza workers, residents, and hardcore fans, and when the final track drops, it feels like the island is collectively exhaling after five months of madness.



If Amnesia’s festival is the spectacle and Pacha’s closing is the celebration, Circoloco’s finale is the soul of Ibiza.



The End of the Season



By mid-October, the dust settles. Flights thin out, the beaches quieten, and the clubs start to shut their doors. But the energy of these closing weeks lingers long after the last track drops. Closing parties aren’t just about saying goodbye - they’re about celebrating the journey, thanking the fans, and sending everyone off into winter with enough memories to last until next summer.



And in 2025, Ibiza has outdone itself. With the introduction of UNVRS, the birth of The Trilogy, and the return of the island’s most iconic closings, this season’s finale is destined to be remembered as one of the greatest ever.



For those lucky enough to be there, savor every second. For those watching from afar, start planning: because there’s nowhere in the world like Ibiza in the closing season.

Ibiza Closing Parties (Part 2)

It’s that bittersweet time of year on the White Isle - the 2025 clubbing season is drawing to a close, but not before an explosive finale of closing parties. For the uninitiated, closing parties mark the end of a glorious summer season, bringing together clubs, DJs, and diehard clubbers for one last series of unforgettable events.



Most residencies run weekly throughout the summer, and when each one ends, it throws a closing party to bid farewell. After that, the clubs themselves host their own grand finales – often stretching across multiple days. Traditionally, most closings fall between mid-September and mid-October, effectively the island’s “last call” before attention shifts to events like ADE in Amsterdam. In 2025, the calendar is packed, and in this two-part guide we’ll highlight the unmissable events.



In Part 1, we’re focusing on key closing parties happening in September, with a blend of mainstream spectacles, underground marathons, and everything in between. Think of this as your warm-up to the huge finales coming later in October.


Hï Ibiza - Afro, Disco & Techno Heaven





Voted the world’s number one club yet again, Hï Ibiza never fails to deliver at closing time. Its residencies cover every corner of the electronic spectrum, and their finales always feel extra-special.



One of the crown jewels is Black Coffee’s Saturday night. Now in its eighth season, the South African superstar has made Afro-house the heartbeat of Ibiza. On Saturday, October 4, he plays his final set of the summer with an extended journey through deep, soulful grooves. He’ll be joined by genre-blending live act WhoMadeWho, plus support in the Club Room from Crosstown Rebels boss Damian Lazarus, who always adds a mystical, experimental edge. Expect immersive production, dazzling visuals, and one last Afro-house odyssey that feels like a rite of passage.



Glitterbox takes over on Sunday, October 5. Famous for its flamboyant performers and anthemic house and disco, this is Ibiza at its most joyful. Closing party highlights include disco pioneer Dimitri From Paris, house heroine Jayda G, Ibiza collective Melon Bomb, and plenty of special guests. It’s a night of pure positivity - one final chance to dance under the disco balls before Hï wraps up.



Hï’s other closings are equally unmissable. The Martinez Brothers finish their Tuesday residency on Sept 30, and on Oct 3, Joseph Capriati’s Metamorfosi wraps with a techno-heavy lineup - last year saw him joined by Indira Paganotto and Kobosil, and 2025 is shaping up just as strong. Together, these events make Hï’s final fortnight a non-stop showcase of electronic music’s biggest names.



Ushuaïa - EDM Titans & ANTS Takeover





Across the road, Ushuaïa Ibiza brings the big daytime energy. Known for jaw-dropping outdoor production and stadium-sized crowds, its closing parties span from EDM to underground house.



On the commercial side, heavyweights like Calvin Harris (closing Sept 12), Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike (Sept 24), and Martin Garrix (Sept 25) will finish their residencies with the kind of high-octane sets fans travel across the world for. Each closing is loaded with massive hits, sing-along moments, and plenty of pyro. Armin van Buuren’s residency also signs off on Sept 28, giving trance fans their final Balearic fix under the open sky.



But the jewel in Ushuaïa’s crown is ANTS, its in-house Saturday residency. This year’s METALWORKS theme has transformed the club into a dystopian playground of robotic ants, towering steel structures, and industrial-themed production. For the ANTS closing on Oct 4, the Colony is pulling together a monster lineup of B2B sets. Andrea Oliva joins Franky Wah for a driving house showcase, Chelina Manuhutu pairs with Mason Collective, Nic Fanciulli goes B2B with Joris Voorn, and Max Dean faces off with SOSA. Add in the high-tech staging and you have one of the most visually spectacular closings on the island.



If you only do one daytime closing party this year, ANTS should be top of the list.



Amnesia - Terrace Sunrises & Closing Festival





Few clubs embody the Ibiza spirit like Amnesia. Their residency closings are stacked, but the real magic comes in October.



On Sunday, Oct 5, the club’s flagship underground night Pyramid ends its season. Pyramid is all about marathon sets and a who’s who of techno and house. Past closings have seen names like Ricardo Villalobos, Luciano, and Nina Kraviz, and 2025 promises another roadblock lineup.



Then Amnesia saves the best for last with its two-day Closing Festival on Oct 10 and 11. The first wave of artists includes Amelie Lens, Nina Kraviz, Deborah De Luca, Honey Dijon, Marco Faraone, Joris Voorn, and more. It’s effectively a festival inside a club - two days, multiple rooms, and a non-stop flow of techno and house until way past sunrise. This is Amnesia at its most uncompromising, and a must for anyone who wants to experience the island’s raw, untamed energy one last time.



Pacha – Old Meets New





Over in Ibiza Town, Pacha continues to blend island heritage with forward-thinking bookings. The first week of October is stacked with back-to-back closings.



Defected signs off on Oct 2 with a lineup for true house heads: Masters At Work, Eats Everything, Low Steppa, and Sam Divine. For lovers of classic house grooves, this is as authentic as it gets.



The following days bring more variety. Flower Power closes Oct 4 with its trademark retro-disco vibe, this time boosted by Purple Disco Machine. On Oct 5, Solomun +1 reaches its finale, with Solomun playing an all-night-long set.



For fans of melodic house, CamelPhat’s final night on Oct 7 is essential, featuring a live set from techno wizard Stephan Bodzin. And Pacha’s week of closings rolls straight into Music On with Marco Carola on Oct 9–10, because who needs just one closing party? It’s a whirlwind stretch of parties that perfectly captures Pacha’s eclecticism.



DC10 - Raw & Underground





If you’re looking for pure, no-frills clubbing, DC10 is where you’ll find it. Two closings here stand out.



First up is Solid Grooves on Oct 2. Expect bass-heavy tech house from founders PAWSA and Michael Bibi’s crew, alongside friends like Dennis Cruz and ANOTR. It’s a Thursday night built for groove-hungry ravers who want to lose themselves in the warehouse atmosphere.



Then there’s the big one: Circoloco on Oct 13, one of the very last closings of the Ibiza calendar. This Monday marathon runs from early evening until deep into Tuesday morning, with an enormous lineup of underground stars. Seth Troxler, Peggy Gou, The Martinez Brothers, and many more usually appear – and the energy is unmatched. Circoloco’s closing is a rite of passage, and for many, it marks the true end of summer.



UNVRS - The Newcomer’s First Closing





2025 also marked the debut season of UNVRS, the futuristic club built on the site of the old Privilege. With residencies from Carl Cox, Eric Prydz, and FISHER, it’s already cemented itself as a major player.



Carl Cox’s closing on Sept 21 will be a techno masterclass, while FISHER ends his fun-filled Thursday sessions on Sept 25. But the real headline is the UNVRS Closing Party on Oct 12, part of the joint trilogy weekend with Ushuaïa and Hï. Featuring Anyma, Peggy Gou, Black Coffee, ANOTR, Vintage Culture, and more, it’s a genre-spanning, jaw-dropping lineup that signals the arrival of Ibiza’s new era.



From Afro-house journeys at Hï to daytime madness at Ushuaïa, marathon techno at Amnesia, and underground chaos at DC10, Ibiza’s September and early October closings in 2025 are looking unforgettable.



This is just Part 1. In our next article, we’ll dive into the final stretch of October, including Amnesia’s festival marathon, Pacha’s grand closing weekend, and Circoloco’s legendary last dance. Ibiza never goes quietly - and 2025’s closings prove once again why this island is the beating heart of global club culture.

Doors open at 23:00, with the party rolling on until 06:00. It’s a night built for heads who come for the music and stay for the energy.

This Week’s Parties in Ibiza (September 4-10)

Ibiza is home to some of the most famous clubs in the world, but many of its most photographed and iconic party settings exist outside the walls of the superclubs. From ruins in the hills to hippie gardens and seaside sunsets, the island has always thrived on unusual backdrops. These are the places that became legendary not just for the music but because they looked spectacular in photographs. Here are some of our favorites.



The Abandoned Festival Club: Ibiza’s Lost Superclub

In the hills near Sant Josep lies a ruin that has fascinated generations of ravers and photographers alike: Festival Club. When it opened in 1972, this sprawling amphitheater was billed as Ibiza’s first “superclub,” complete with restaurants, terraces, and mock bullfighting shows. For a brief moment, it was the future of nightlife.



But the oil crisis in 1973 devastated tourism, and within two years Festival Club was abandoned. Nature crept back, graffiti artists took over, and rave crews in the ’80s and ’90s used it for secret parties.



What makes Festival Club endure is its atmosphere. The crumbling arches daubed in neon spray paint, pine trees reclaiming the terraces, and the open sky above create a dramatic, post-apocalyptic backdrop. DJs like Maceo Plex have recorded atmospheric sets here, and countless photo shoots have turned the ruins into an unlikely cultural monument. In Ibiza’s visual story, Festival Club represents both the optimism of its early party industry and the rebelliousness of the underground.





Benimussa Park: From Zoo to Tribal Playground

Benimussa Park is perhaps Ibiza’s most surreal venue. Originally launched in the 1970s as Gala Night, a part-zoo and part-park, it was once fabled to keep seals and monkeys to entertain tourists. By the 1980s, it pivoted to outdoor events, but its defining moment came in 2007, when The Zoo Project took root.



The organizers decided to lean into the zoo theme: DJs performed inside the old seal pit, performers roamed in body paint and animal costumes, and the crowd became part of the spectacle. Photographs of ravers painted like tigers, dancing in the sun, quickly spread worldwide.



The venue’s layout added to the magic: the terraced arena, a leafy Mandala Garden for healing spaces, and hidden corners decorated with surreal art installations. It blurred the line between festival and club night, creating an atmosphere that felt tribal, immersive, and distinctly photogenic. Over more than 15 summers, The Zoo Project turned Benimussa Park into one of Ibiza’s most unforgettable and visually unique party locations.



Now, you’ll know the venue as 528 Ibiza, where some of the most talked about events of 2025 are taking place.





Pikes Hotel: Rock ’n’ Roll Mythology

Few places embody the decadent mythology of Ibiza like Pikes Hotel. Founded in 1978 by Tony Pike, the finca-style hotel became a refuge for rock stars and celebrities during the island’s freewheeling 1980s. Its aquamarine pool achieved instant fame when Wham! filmed their “Club Tropicana” video there in 1983, sealing the location in pop culture history.



Then came Freddie Mercury’s 41st birthday in 1987 - a party so excessive it still defines Ibiza’s legend of indulgence. Stories of dwarfs carrying cakes, champagne flowing endlessly, and a guest list of icons became the stuff of folklore. Photographs of George Michael by the pool or Freddie’s entourage celebrating at Pikes helped spread its reputation far beyond the island.



Today, Pikes carefully preserves this rock ’n’ roll heritage. Freddie’s old suite is now a nightclub called “Freddie’s,” where the spirit of its golden era still flickers. Its kitschy interiors, mural-covered walls, and infamous poolside remain among the island’s most photographed spots (even though today it has a no-filming policy).





Dalt Vila: Dancing on Ancient Walls

Ibiza’s Old Town, Dalt Vila, is a UNESCO World Heritage site of cobblestone streets and fortress walls. For most of the year, it’s a place for quiet evening strolls and history tours. But during the International Music Summit (IMS) Finale, it transforms into one of the most breathtaking party venues in the world.



Since 2008, DJs like Pete Tong and Fatboy Slim have played against a backdrop of medieval ramparts, with panoramic views of the marina and cathedral lit up at night. The juxtaposition of cutting-edge electronic music against 16th-century stone is dramatic, and every photograph captures that sense of contrast.



Part of the magic lies in its rarity: as a protected site, Dalt Vila hosts only a handful of events each year. That exclusivity makes the IMS Finale feel like a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and images of crowds dancing under the stars within ancient walls are some of Ibiza’s most powerful cultural exports.





The Sunset Strip: Café del Mar and Café Mambo

If Ibiza has a daily ritual, it’s the sunset at San Antonio’s Sunset Strip. Since Café del Mar opened in 1980, visitors have gathered to watch the sun melt into the Mediterranean while ambient music provides the soundtrack. When José Padilla began his sunset DJ sets in the early ’90s, it gave rise to the Café del Mar compilation albums, which sold millions and spread the Balearic sound worldwide.



In 1994, Café Mambo added a new dimension: pre-parties with international DJs and a more upbeat soundtrack. In 1995, BBC Radio 1 began broadcasting live from Mambo’s terrace, turning it into a global stage. Suddenly, images of superstar DJs framed against glowing skies and cheering crowds were beamed across the world.



The Sunset Strip’s visual power lies in its simplicity: the natural beauty of Ibiza’s west coast fused with music and community. Thousands of tourists still gather each evening to clap the sun below the horizon, keeping this ritual alive and endlessly photographed.





Las Dalias: The Heart of Ibiza’s Hippie Spirit

Las Dalias is a living piece of Ibiza’s countercultural soul. Founded as a bar in the 1950s and transformed into a hippie market in the 1980s, it quickly became a hub for creativity and free-spirited living.



By night, Las Dalias takes on an entirely different energy. The Namaste party, running since 1998, has become a weekly celebration of life, spirituality, and music. Its gardens are draped in neon fabrics and lanterns, while tribal drummers, fire performers, and live musicians turn the space into a psychedelic wonderland.



Photographs of Namaste capture a different side of Ibiza: less about glamour, more about color, joy, and authenticity. In a world where the island’s luxury side often dominates, Las Dalias continues to be the most enduring symbol of its hippie roots - one that remains irresistibly photogenic.





Cova Santa: The Party in a Cave

Hidden in the hills near Sant Josep is one of Ibiza’s most unusual venues: Cova Santa, built around a 25-meter-deep natural cave. Once a tourist attraction, it was reinvented by Amnesia into a restaurant and open-air nightclub.



Its modern fame comes from artistic parties like WooMooN, which transformed the venue with lanterns, immersive performances, and a mystical festival atmosphere. Multi-level terraces overlook the countryside, while the cave itself glows with colored lights, often hosting intimate DJ sets.



Images from Cova Santa showcase its magical duality: the natural wonder of the cave combined with avant-garde party culture. It has become a place where Ibiza’s mythology, history, and nightlife converge into one unforgettable, photogenic setting.





Ibiza’s Photo Album

From ruins and fortresses to zoos and caves, Ibiza’s most iconic party venues are defined by their visual power. Each one tells a story not just of music but of creativity and reinvention. They remind us that in Ibiza, the venue itself can be the star - etched forever in photographs that capture the island’s ever-evolving legend.

This Week’s Parties in Ibiza (August 28 - September 3)

Two decades ago, in the summer of 2005, Pacha Ibiza was already a living legend. While some of the island’s other clubs went bigger, louder, or stranger, Pacha thrived by being glamorous, musically credible, and endlessly versatile. Housed in a converted whitewashed farmhouse on the edge of Ibiza Town, with its cherries logo glowing above the door, the club was the ultimate blend of VIP sparkle and underground spirit. And that season’s line-up proved it: seven nights of heavyweight residencies, each night programmed like a festival in its own right.



Walking into Pacha in 2005 meant stepping into a maze of rooms: the main dancefloor with its low ceiling and central DJ booth; the Global Room hosting hip-hop and funk; the funky side rooms and rooftop terrace where partygoers caught their breath under the stars. What really set it apart, though, was the way the VIP balcony wrapped around the dancefloor. Celebrities and club-kids danced practically shoulder-to-shoulder, creating that unique Pacha energy: equal parts hedonism and high society.





So what did a week at Pacha look like in 2005? Let’s go day by day.


Monday - Release Yourself with Roger Sanchez

Kicking off the week, Mondays belonged to Roger Sanchez and his Release Yourself residency. The New Yorker’s soulful, vocal-driven sets made Mondays surprisingly popular with the island’s locals, who packed the floor week after week. Sanchez typically played marathon sets, mixing gospel-tinged house, funky basslines, and plenty of hands-in-the-air moments. It wasn’t a night loaded with guests or gimmicks - just Roger in command from start to finish - and that was exactly why people loved it.



Tuesday - Defected in the House

If Mondays were smooth and soulful, Tuesdays brought the funk in full force. Defected Records had just moved from the smaller El Divino to Pacha in 2005, and the upgrade fit perfectly. From June through September, Defected in the House transformed Tuesdays into a soulful house paradise. Residents included Junior Jack & Kid Crème, Sandy Rivera, Kenny “Dope” Gonzalez, Dimitri from Paris, and Martin Solveig. The guest list read like a who’s who of house royalty - Bob Sinclar, DJ Gregory, Chus, Miguel Migs, Danny Krivit, and more all stopped by. Throw in live performances from acts like Reel People and you had a night that felt both polished and organic, the perfect marriage of Pacha’s glamour and Defected’s house music heart.





Wednesday - Subliminal Sessions with Erick Morillo

By midweek, things got wild. Erick Morillo’s Subliminal Sessions were among the most notorious nights on the island, and 2005 was no exception. Morillo was joined by co-residents Seb Fontaine, Steve Angello, and Harry Romero, plus an endless parade of guests. Highlights included Timo Maas at the opening, Darren Emerson in July, and a back-to-back set from Steve Angello and Sebastian Ingrosso that foreshadowed the rise of the Swedish House Mafia.



Subliminal was as much about the party as the music: champagne spraying, late-morning afterparties, and even cameos from P. Diddy, who jumped on the mic to hype the crowd. It was glamorous chaos in true Pacha style.





Thursday - Ministry, Yoshitoshi & F*** Me I’m Famous

Thursday was a mixed bag, and that was part of its charm. On alternating weeks, Pacha handed the reins to Ministry of Sound or Deep Dish’s Yoshitoshi label. Ministry nights featured eclectic line-ups with names like Groove Armada and breakbeat duo Evil Nine, while Yoshitoshi brought Deep Dish and their progressive house allies. Meanwhile, David and Cathy Guetta’s F*** Me I’m Famous was establishing itself as one of Pacha’s most in-demand nights, pulling in celebrities, models, and big-room house fans for unapologetically glamorous parties. Thursdays showed off Pacha’s versatility: one week underground credibility, the next week champagne-fuelled mayhem.



Friday - Pure Pacha with Pete Tong

Fridays belonged to Pete Tong, who hosted Pure Pacha, a night designed to blend classy music with a celebrity-studded vibe. The opening party alone featured Carl Cox, John Digweed, Wally López, and Nic Fanciulli alongside Tong - a line-up most clubs would kill to have over an entire season. Throughout the summer, guests like Sasha, Felix da Housecat, and live act Bodyrockers kept Fridays eclectic and stylish.



Tong also used the night to spotlight rising stars, with Spanish DJ Wally López appearing four times in support of his Perceptions of Pacha compilation. Pure Pacha perfectly embodied the club’s ethos: fashion, fun, and forward-thinking music all under one roof.





Saturday - Def Mix with David Morales

If there was ever a night for house music purists, it was Saturday. For years, David Morales had hosted the legendary Def Mix parties at Pacha, and 2005 continued the tradition. The opener featured Morales alongside Frankie Knuckles, a historic pairing of two house icons. Over the season, guests included Satoshi Tomiie, Danny Rampling, Pete Heller, and Hernán Cattáneo, all delivering soulful, uplifting sets. One standout night celebrated Morales’ birthday in August - a reminder that Def Mix felt less like a residency and more like a family gathering. Saturdays were classy, vocal, and emotional: the spiritual heart of Pacha.



Sunday - Everybody with Sander Kleinenberg

Sundays were always tricky in Ibiza, dominated by Space’s famous We Love marathon. But in 2005 Pacha made a bold play with Sander Kleinenberg’s Everybody residency. The Dutch DJ brought progressive and electro sounds, plus guests like Lee Burridge and Tom Stephan, aiming to lure serious clubbers who wanted something deeper than just another big-room blowout. Attendance could be hit-or-miss, but for those who went, Sundays were all about trippy visuals, long builds, and underground credibility in Pacha’s glamorous setting.



One-Off Highlights

On top of the weekly schedule, 2005 delivered some unforgettable one-offs. Danny Tenaglia played two marathon sets at Pacha, part of a series of Renaissance parties that season - a huge treat, since he rarely appeared on the island. Pacha’s own Flower Power nights also returned for a handful of dates, transforming the club into a psychedelic time machine of 60s and 70s classics. Meanwhile, the Global Room hosted live performances from Kelis and Dizzee Rascal, proof that Pacha wasn’t afraid to cross genres.





Why 2005 Still Matters

Looking back, 2005 captures Pacha at a sweet spot: still a family-run club with deep local roots, but also a global brand expanding to places like New York. Inside, it was intimate enough to feel special, yet big enough to host superstar DJs seven nights a week. Culturally, it defined what many now think of as “Ibiza style” - the mingling of underground music, international celebrities, and carefree hedonism, all under one roof. 2005 represents an era when Ibiza was at its glamorous, unmissable peak.



Two cherries, one farmhouse, seven nights of music - twenty years on, Pacha 2005 still shines as a season when every night felt like history in the making.

Pacha Ibiza 20 Years Ago: Residencies and DJs

Another big week lies ahead of us. Will you be on the island? If you are, then you are in for a treat. But, instead of you having to sift through every single party, we’ve done the hard work for you and whittled it down to a top pick each day.

This Week’s Parties in Ibiza (August 21 - 27)

Few places in the world wear their history as vividly as Ibiza. Over the past six decades, the island’s style has transformed from barefoot bohemian to glittering couture, yet it has never lost its soul. In the 1960s, free-spirited hippies in flowing cotton and handmade jewellery helped create a dress code rooted in freedom and self-expression. By the 1980s, Ibiza’s burgeoning club culture exploded into a riot of sequins, feathers, and neon. The 1990s brought rave energy and streetwear swagger, paving the way for the 2000s’ boho-luxe glamour and high-fashion VIP scene. Today, Ibiza blends all these influences into a kaleidoscope of looks - sustainable vintage, gender-fluid streetwear, and designer resortwear - all united by a single philosophy: dress how you like, but with style.





1960s - Bohemian Beginnings

In the 1960s, Ibiza became a magnet for hippies escaping political conservatism and seeking artistic freedom. The style was anti-establishment: men wore loose kaftans, Indian cotton shirts, or went shirtless; women embraced flowing skirts, peasant blouses, beads, and natural fabrics. Local Ibicenco elements - straw hats, espadrilles, embroidered shawls - blended with psychedelic prints and tie-dye. Public nudity and unisex fashion blurred gender lines, capturing a spirit of liberation immortalized in films like More (1969).







1970s - Flower Power & Adlib Fashion

The early 70s brought a new identity with Moda Adlib, launched in 1971 by Yugoslav princess Smilja Mihailovitch. Inspired by the phrase “ad libitum” (“at one’s pleasure”), Adlib merged traditional white Ibizan dresses with hippie ease - embroidered cotton, lace and flowing silhouettes. Women wore goddess-like white dresses, off-shoulder tops, flower crowns, and artisanal jewelry from hippie markets like Punta Arabí, which is still going today. Men stuck to bell-bottoms, linen shirts, and talismans. Later in the decade, evenings at the newly opened Pacha mixed bohemian daywear with playful disco touches, keeping the dress code loose, sensual, and creative.







1980s - Glamour & Excess in Club Culture

By the 1980s, Ibiza was a global nightlife hotspot. Superclubs like Amnesia and Ku embraced extravagant themed nights. Women wore metallic mini-dresses, plunging jumpsuits, lingerie-inspired tops, and sometimes only body paint. Men rivaled them with drag ensembles, leather gear, spandex pants, or carnival costumes. Grace Jones’ performances epitomized this androgynous boldness. Leopard print, sequins, neon, and feathers ruled, while thong swimwear made its beach debut. Off the dancefloor, Balearic beat lovers sported tropical shirts and cut-off shorts, while Ibiza Town became a melting pot of punk, disco, and New Wave looks.







1990s - Rave Revolution & Global Clubbing

The rave boom transformed Ibiza in the 90s. Clubs like Space and Amnesia were filled with neon baggy pants, crop tops, smiley-face T-shirts, and glow stick accessories. Trainers replaced heels for all-night dancing. British package tourists brought football shirts, Union Jack shorts, and cheeky slogan tees, especially in San Antonio. In contrast, Pacha’s VIP set leaned towards minimalist and glamorous - Calvin Klein slip dresses for women, linen trousers and silk shirts for men. The infamous club night Manumission blended all worlds: burlesque performers, costumed ravers, and designer-clad socialites under one roof.







2000s - Boho-Luxe & Designer Nightlife

The 2000s brought celebrity DJs, VIP culture, and stricter dress codes at high-end clubs like Ushuaïa (which opened in 2008). Designer labels such as Hervé Léger, Versace, Dolce & Gabbana started to appear on dancefloors. Women wore stilettos and couture dresses; men flaunted crisp shirts, blazers, and luxury watches. Daytime style shifted to boho-luxe: kaftans, maxi dresses, gladiator sandals, wide-brim hats, and designer swimwear. Luxury boutiques opened in Marina Botafoch, while on-island designers updated traditional whites with modern cuts. Celebrities like Paris Hilton and P Diddy hosted glamorous theme parties, turning Ibiza into a catwalk. Underground spots like DC10 kept a stripped-down, streetwear aesthetic alive.







2010s - Instagram Era & Fashion Collabs

Social media transformed Ibiza fashion into a global trendsetter. Influencers curated photogenic wardrobes, perfect for “golden hour” shots at beach clubs and along the sunset strip. Festival-inspired outfits with crochet tops, face jewels and boots dominated daytime; nights mixed streetwear with couture - think sequined mini-dresses with sneakers. Luxury brands joined in: Loewe’s Paula’s Ibiza collection (launched 2017) revived 70s boho prints in high-end fabrics, becoming a summer staple. Adlib Fashion Week modernized its heritage lace and broderie anglaise with contemporary twists. Sustainability began to resurface, with vintage and upcycled fashion gaining traction alongside the influencer glam.







2020s - Fusion, Sustainability & Future Trends

Today, Ibiza style is a living collage of its history. At any moment you might see a couple in vintage Adlib whites, rave kids in neon bucket hats, or influencers in limited-edition designer capsules. Creative dressing has been reignited - more glitter, themed costumes, and a celebratory mix of eras. Sustainability has taken center stage, with vintage boutiques, clothing swaps, and slow-fashion brands flourishing. Gender-fluid fashion is more visible than ever, and earthy minimalist palettes are trending alongside metallic rave wear.









High fashion remains deeply entwined: Loewe’s Paula’s Ibiza thrives, The Attico opened a boutique in 2023, and magazines routinely shoot summer editorials on the island. Whether barefoot at a hippie market or in heels at Pacha’s VIP, Ibiza’s dress code still follows its original motto: “Dress how you like, but with style.” From the free-spirited 60s to today’s sustainable couture, Ibiza’s fashion remains as eclectic, daring, and joyfully individual as the island itself.

The Evolution of the Ibiza Dress Code: From Hippie to High Fashion

Andre Power has built a career on connecting people through music, art, and culture. As the creator of LINK UP, his global event series, he’s played in over 50 countries while giving a platform to emerging DJs and fostering spaces for genuine interaction. Since its debut in 2021, LINK UP has grown from a post-pandemic day party in Los Angeles into an international fixture, with editions in cities like London, Atlanta, and Chicago. Power keeps the vision personal—designing event artwork himself, handpicking diverse lineups, and tailoring each city’s edition to fill gaps in its nightlife. In this interview, he talks about what goes into curating LINK UP, why community matters in nightlife, and how he keeps the series feeling fresh as it grows.



When you’re curating a new LINK UP city, what’s the first thing you look for?


I always consider whether the city even needs another party. Even though everything about LINK UP is special and intentional, I never want it to feel like just another party in just another city. With LINK UP, and much of what I do, there’s always an aim and purpose—to fill a gap for what’s needed and missing.



What’s something behind the scenes at LINK UP that people don’t realize takes a lot of effort?


Each LINK UP features a diverse lineup of DJs, with a focus on taking the party through a journey by intentionally curating set times. I also make a point of giving newer DJs opportunities. For example, in Los Angeles, four years in, it’s rare that I book the same DJ twice.



What’s the last set you played that really stuck with you, and why?


The premiere of LINK UP was a special one, not only because it was the first international edition of the event, but also because London is my personal favorite city to DJ in. The audience there really understands and appreciates art and music unlike anywhere else I’ve been.



Is there a specific artist you’ve booked at LINK UP that you feel everyone should be watching right now?


Some of my favorite DJ sets at LINK UP, and artists who have since gone on to bigger things, include Anastazja from LA and DJ Mochi from Chicago.





How do you think your visual art background influences the way LINK UP looks and feels?


I think branding consistency and evolution are really important. I’ve put a lot of thought into designing the flyers for each event so they stay consistent but still evolve over time. I also make sure the flyer art connects to the actual event—for example, incorporating plants into both.



What gave you the idea to start this brand?


The idea for LINK UP came at the very end of the global pandemic. I noticed how much people wanted to be physically connected again after lockdown, while still feeling safe. It was during the last month or two of the mask mandate, when people were finally starting to feel comfortable gathering again.



How do you personally stay grounded with so much travel and output?


Travel and connecting with new people around the world actually keep me grounded and inspire my work. I’m constantly learning while on the road, and those experiences always shape my output in the best way.



What role do you think community really plays in the future of nightlife?


I believe nightlife is nothing without community. Events and promoters need to keep growing, elevating, and—most importantly—listening to what’s missing in nightlife and what people truly want.



What’s your pre-show ritual—or do you just wing it?


I don’t have much of a pre-show ritual. I just like to feel rested and make sure I’ve sorted my music for the upcoming set. If it’s a new city or anywhere outside of LA, I often arrive a day early to get a feel for the place, maybe by visiting a local bar, lounge, or party.



How did you come up with the name LINK UP?


I wanted something literal that flowed off the tongue, a phrase that was also an action—something that captured the reconnection of a community after the global pandemic.

Linking Up with Andre Power

This Week’s Parties in Ibiza (August 14 - 20)

Ibiza has long been recognized as a global hub for electronic music, serving as the ultimate proving ground for DJs aspiring to international fame. Many artists who've graced the decks of global stages began their journeys spinning sets in humble bars on the island, eventually ascending to global stardom. We’re here to spotlight five iconic DJs whose Ibiza residencies catapulted them onto the international stage.



In the early '90s, Smokin’ Jo emerged as a pioneering figure in Ibiza's burgeoning club scene. Although initially gaining traction at London's Trade nightclub, it was her pivotal 1992 residency at Space Ibiza that propelled her into global consciousness. That same year, she broke barriers as the first - and still only - female DJ named DJ Mag’s World #1 DJ. Her relentless sets at Space and Manumission at Ku became legendary, helping define Ibiza’s nightlife and laying groundwork for future female DJs. Jo’s global career flourished thereafter, taking her to top clubs and festivals worldwide.





Steve Lawler, known affectionately as the "King of Space," began his Ibiza journey in 1995 with a demanding residency at Café Mambo in San Antonio. Playing seven days a week, Lawler mastered his craft, eventually securing sets on Pacha’s rooftop terrace. His breakthrough came with a pivotal residency at Space Ibiza’s famous "We Love… Sundays," earning him international acclaim. By the early 2000s, Lawler was a household name, touring globally, winning multiple DJ Awards, and cementing his legacy as one of Ibiza’s great success stories.





Jamie Jones offers another quintessential example of Ibiza's transformative power. Initially playing back rooms at small bars and parties around San Antonio in the early 2000s, Jones steadily built his reputation. His defining moment came with his residency at DC10’s Circoloco, an underground favorite that saw him ascend from loyal attendee to beloved resident DJ. In 2012, Jones launched his own iconic Ibiza residency, Paradise at DC10, solidifying his brand and reputation. Today, Jamie Jones headlines festivals globally, operates the influential Hot Creations label, and continues to symbolize Ibiza's enduring underground spirit.





Sam Divine epitomizes the more recent success story. Arriving in Ibiza in the mid-2000s, Divine tirelessly built her reputation in San Antonio’s bar circuit, notably at Hush nightclub, where she spent four formative summers honing her skills. Her breakthrough arrived in 2010 when she became the resident DJ for Defected at Pacha Ibiza after being a ticket seller for them on the streets of San An. Performing alongside industry legends such as Frankie Knuckles, Divine quickly captured the island’s attention. This residency skyrocketed her career, leading her to become Defected’s central figure, hosting its global radio show and headlining international events. Divine's 2024 headlining residency at Ushuaïa Ibiza marked a full-circle milestone, underscoring her rise from modest beach club sets to global fame.





Another recent sensation is Scottish DJ Hannah Laing, whose Ibiza journey began humbly at 18 years old with a residency at The Highlander, a popular bar on San Antonio’s West End. Over three summers, Laing tirelessly perfected her energetic sound. Her turning point came unexpectedly through a viral remix of Sophie Ellis-Bextor’s "Murder on the Dancefloor," drawing widespread acclaim. By 2022, Laing was opening stages at festivals like Creamfields, prompting her to pursue DJing full-time. In a stunning ascension, 2025 saw Laing become the first-ever female resident headliner at Hï Ibiza. From humble pub gigs to dominating Ibiza’s superclub scene, Laing exemplifies how dedication and talent can rapidly transform into global acclaim.





These DJs embody the transformative journey possible through Ibiza’s iconic club culture. However, they represent just a fraction of the talent cultivated by the island.



There are many more DJs that found global fame by starting out in Ibiza. Honourable mentions include Luciano and Loco Dice, whose foundational years at DC10's Circoloco significantly influenced their worldwide success. Luciano’s Latin-infused tech-house sound became synonymous with Ibiza summers, while Loco Dice translated his gritty underground style into global festival dominance. Black Coffee, the South African DJ who won Ibiza’s Breakthrough DJ Award in 2015, used his success on the island as a springboard to international superstardom, becoming a sought-after headliner across continents. Similarly, Carl Cox’s iconic Space Ibiza residency redefined DJ residencies globally, earning him legendary status both on and off the island.



Together, these DJs exemplify Ibiza’s enduring power as a launchpad. The island continues to nurture talent from intimate residencies to global prominence, highlighting the unparalleled opportunities Ibiza offers aspiring artists in electronic music. As each season unfolds, new stars are born, ensuring Ibiza remains the ultimate gateway to global DJ stardom.

8. Eli Brown

Stage: Water (Friday)
For fans of darker, more intense techno, Eli Brown delivers. His Friday appearance will likely be filled with gritty synths and warehouse-level energy under the open sky.

This Week’s Parties in Ibiza (August 7 - 13)

Ibiza's journey to becoming a global techno capital is a story filled with innovation, rebellion, and endless reinvention. Beginning quietly in the eclectic soundscape of the 1980s, techno emerged as a powerful force, forever altering the island’s musical identity.



In the late 1980s, Ibiza was a melting pot of sounds, thanks to DJs like Alfredo Fiorito at Amnesia, who introduced a style famously known as the Balearic Beat. His eclectic sets blurred genres, weaving together rock, pop, house, and even early techno from Detroit. Alfredo’s innovative approach captivated British DJs Paul Oakenfold, Danny Rampling, and others, who exported this style back to the UK in 1988, sparking Britain’s acid house revolution. Among Alfredo’s influential tracks was Derrick May's seminal "Strings of Life," a Detroit techno classic that would foreshadow the island’s techno destiny.





As the island exploded in popularity in the early 1990s, techno began making deeper inroads into Ibiza’s nightlife, driven largely by international DJs hungry to test this exciting sound on eager audiences. A key figure in this transformation was British DJ Carl Cox, whose arrival in 1991 significantly shaped Ibiza's techno landscape. Known for high-energy, rapid-fire techno sets at venues like Space and Amnesia, Cox set a new standard, introducing thousands of clubbers to a harder, edgier electronic experience.



Yet, throughout much of the '90s, techno remained somewhat underground, overshadowed by house and trance. It took until the legendary summer of 1999 for techno to finally claim its rightful place. That year marked the launch of two seminal events: Cocoon and Circoloco. Sven Väth, a German DJ deeply influenced by his early visits to Ibiza, introduced Cocoon at Amnesia. This was Ibiza’s first weekly techno residency, a daring move at a time dominated by uplifting house and commercial trance. Cocoon quickly established itself as a techno powerhouse, drawing legendary names like Richie Hawtin and Ricardo Villalobos, and becoming synonymous with Ibiza’s techno culture.





Meanwhile, DC10, a former farmhouse near the airport, hosted the first Circoloco party - a raw, stripped-down after-hours event emphasizing pure underground vibes. Initially drawing just a handful of hardcore clubbers, Circoloco quickly developed a cult following thanks to resident DJs like Tania Vulcano, who mixed tribal and minimal grooves, creating an authentic underground experience. Circoloco's gritty ethos stood in stark contrast to Ibiza’s glossy clubs, solidifying its reputation as a bastion of authentic techno.



Entering the 2000s, Ibiza's techno scene expanded significantly. Cocoon’s Monday nights became legendary events, showcasing both international stars and emerging Spanish DJs such as Paco Osuna, who gained worldwide recognition through the platform Sven Väth provided. Similarly, DC10's Circoloco nurtured global techno stars including Luciano and Loco Dice, who honed their craft on its minimalist terrace.





This decade also witnessed the rise of minimal techno, propelled by artists like Richie Hawtin, whose stripped-back sound profoundly influenced the island's club scene. Meanwhile, Carl Cox launched his iconic residency "Music Is Revolution" at Space in 2001, becoming a Tuesday-night institution. Cox’s 15-year run significantly mainstreamed techno, firmly embedding the genre in Ibiza’s clubbing DNA.



Techno’s momentum accelerated even further into the 2010s. In 2012, Richie Hawtin introduced ENTER. at Space, a groundbreaking concept that married techno with immersive experiences and artistic innovation. That same year, Marco Carola’s Music On residency at Amnesia began dominating Friday nights, blending deep tech-house sounds with pure techno beats. Jamie Jones's Paradise at DC10 further expanded the underground palette, ensuring techno dominated Ibiza’s nightlife multiple nights a week.





The late 2010s saw techno become more prominent than ever, penetrating even traditionally house-centric venues like Pacha, where artists like Solomun blended melodic techno into mainstream clubbing. Residencies like Resistance at Privilege brought global techno heavyweights to the island, underscoring techno’s broad appeal.



Today, techno continues to thrive on Ibiza. Despite pandemic setbacks, clubs roared back, with Circoloco celebrating over two decades of existence, Cocoon marking its 20th anniversary with special events, and newer parties like Tale Of Us’s Afterlife and Amnesia’s Pyramid carrying the torch forward. Tech-house extravaganzas such as Paradise and Elrow further demonstrate the genre’s adaptability and ongoing popularity.





Ibiza’s techno journey - from Alfredo’s pioneering Balearic mixes and Carl Cox’s high-octane sets, through Sven Väth's daring Cocoon residency and the gritty authenticity of Circoloco - demonstrates the island’s remarkable capacity for reinvention. As techno continues to evolve and flourish, Ibiza remains a living testament to electronic music’s power to unite, innovate, and captivate global audiences. The White Isle’s legacy, shaped by visionaries who embraced techno’s underground heartbeat, continues pulsating stronger than ever.

This Week’s Parties in Ibiza (31 July - 6 August)

From a pandemic pause to a roaring revival, Ibiza’s 2020–2025 era produced a new generation of club anthems that defined the island’s resilience and party spirit. Even when dancefloors fell silent in 2020, tracks emerged that would later shake the White Isle once the clubs reopened. By 2022, Ibiza was back in full swing – and with it came songs that swept through beach bars, superclubs, and after-hours alike. Here are ten of the biggest Ibiza anthems of this period – tunes that achieved massive popularity both on the island and globally, each with its own story of when and how it ignited Ibiza’s crowds. How many of these contemporary classics have soundtracked your Balearic nights?



“Marea (We’ve Lost Dancing)” – Fred again.. & The Blessed Madonna (2021) – House

In early 2021, as clubbers worldwide pined for a return to the dancefloor, Fred again.. and The Blessed Madonna delivered an emotional balm with “Marea (We’ve Lost Dancing).” This poignant house track - built on a somber monologue about shuttered nightlife - became an unofficial anthem of Ibiza’s comeback. DJs across the spectrum, from underground heroes to big-room residents, dropped it during those first post-lockdown sets. At Amnesia’s historic reopening/closing party in October 2021, you could spot tearful smiles as the spoken line “if I can live through this next six months, what comes next will be marvelous” rang out under the lights. In capturing the relief and love of finally dancing together again, “Marea” earned its place as a defining Ibiza anthem of 2021.





“Love Tonight” (Remix) – Shouse (2021) – Vocal House

Few tracks unite people quite like Shouse’s “Love Tonight.” Originally an underground vocal house tune, it exploded in summer 2021 thanks to soulful lyrics about togetherness - just what Ibiza needed. A slew of remixes catapulted “Love Tonight” onto Ibiza’s biggest stages. You couldn’t escape it! Big-room DJs embraced it too - Guetta himself gave it a bombastic remix and blasted it at Ushuaïa to thousands of hands in the air. Meanwhile, underground selectors weren’t shy about slipping in a more stripped-down edit during 5 AM moments. The magic of “Love Tonight” was that it resonated with everyone.





“The Age Of Love” (Charlotte de Witte & Enrico Sangiuliano Remix) (2021)– Techno/Trance

In 2021, a classic Ibiza anthem from the ’90s was reborn for a new generation. Belgian techno star Charlotte de Witte and Italy’s Enrico Sangiuliano reworked “The Age Of Love”, a 1990 trance standard, into a thunderous modern remix that swept the island (and the world). The remix’s pounding techno kicks and that immortal trance melody made for a potent combination, triggering nostalgia and frenzy in equal measure. It became the peak-time weapon for many DJs that season. Charlotte herself dropped it during her Ibiza appearances (including a memorable spin at Hï Ibiza in 2022) to rapturous response. By bridging eras, “The Age Of Love” remix united veteran Ibiza clubbers with new ravers under a shared anthem. Each time the breakdown hit, arms reached for the sky - proof that a great tune never loses its magic on the White Isle.





“Do It To It” – ACRAZE feat. Cherish (2021) – Tech House

Powered by an insanely catchy R&B vocal sample (“do it, to it”) and a chunky tech-house bassline, ACRAZE’s “Do It To It” became a surprise crossover smash in late 2021 that rolled right into Ibiza’s 2022 season. This track was everywhere. It racked up hundreds of millions of streams and by summer ‘22, Ibiza’s DJs had fully caught on. Big names championed it: FISHER hammered “Do It To It” at his Hï residency, Fatboy Slim worked it into his eclectic sets, and even trance titan Tiesto loved it so much he made a remix. By the end of 2022, it was cemented as an Ibiza anthem - a track that cut through genre divisions with one simple instruction: dance and have fun doing it.





“La Danza” – John Summit (2022) – Tech House/Latin House

If any track captured Ibiza’s hedonistic summer of 2022, it was John Summit’s “La Danza.” Released on Defected Records, this tech-house banger came built on a Latin-flavored chant and a hip-shaking groove - basically sunshine in a track. As Ibiza’s clubs roared back to life in 2022, “La Danza” quickly became omnipresent. It was the unofficial theme song of Defected’s wildly popular residency at Eden and Summit, a fast-rising star, played it at his own gigs. With its combination of a rolling bassline and Latin vocals, “La Danza” channeled the Balearic spirit of sexy, uninhibited dancing. By summer’s peak, even people who’d never set foot on Ibiza knew the tune - a testament to how thoroughly it dominated playlists and dancefloors. John Summit had delivered a modern Ibiza classic, and every spin of “La Danza” felt like carnival on the White Isle.





“My Paradise” – Jamie Jones (2022) – House/Disco

After years of spearheading Ibiza’s underground, Jamie Jones scored a bona fide island anthem in 2022 with “My Paradise.” This feel-good house track was intentionally crafted for his reborn Paradise residency (which moved to Amnesia in ’22). And it worked like a charm. From the very first Paradise party of the season, “My Paradise” became the night’s calling card: Jamie would often drop it as a highlight on the Amnesia terrace. The track’s appeal extended far beyond just Paradise, though. Soon every DJ from deep-house selectors to big-room jocks was giving “My Paradise” a spin. It was simultaneously an underground hit and a daytime radio tune - testament to its crossover magic. As Defected Records (who released it) noted, Jamie’s track “made a huge splash” in Ibiza 2022, earning support from tastemakers of all stripes. By season’s end, “My Paradise” had clinched the DJ Awards Track of the Season honor - a clear indicator of how thoroughly it enchanted the island.





“B.O.T.A. (Baddest Of Them All)” – Eliza Rose & Interplanetary Criminal (2022) – House/UK Garage

In summer 2022, an unlikely contender stormed Ibiza, and the world, in the form of Eliza Rose & Interplanetary Criminal’s “B.O.T.A. (Baddest Of Them All).” Fueled by a sassy vocal and 2-step garage beat, this track went viral and soon sat near the top of global charts. Despite its UK garage roots (a sound not always dominant on the island), Ibiza embraced it wholeheartedly. It became one of the summer’s biggest tracks, lighting up clubs and festivals thanks to widespread DJ support. The track’s irresistible hook and Eliza Rose’s diva vocals evoked the 90s classics, scratching that nostalgic itch while still sounding fresh. By August, “B.O.T.A.” had peaked at #1 on the UK charts and turned Eliza Rose into a star. And on Ibiza, it left an imprint as the anthem that proved underground house and mainstream appeal could dance hand in hand.





“Drugs From Amsterdam” – Mau P (2022) – Tech House

Every Ibiza season has its infectious earworm, and in late 2022 that honor went to Mau P’s cheekily titled “Drugs From Amsterdam.” This tech-house monster hit like a jolt of adrenaline. With its deep, warbling bassline and that hypnotic vocal loop the track spread through clubs faster than wildfire. It dominated the festival circuit and climbed charts worldwide - hitting #1 on Beatport and racking up over 100 million streams - and Ibiza was no exception to its reign. By 2023, Mau P had leveraged the song’s success into gigs all over the island (even teasing a Pacha residency), proving how one huge anthem can launch an artist’s Ibiza journey. Love it or loathe it, “Drugs From Amsterdam” was undeniably the guilty-pleasure banger that had the White Isle buzzing through 2022 and into 2023.





“(It Goes Like) Nanana” – Peggy Gou (2023) – House

In 2023, Peggy Gou gifted Ibiza a bonafide summer anthem with “(It Goes Like) Nanana.” This track is pure vibe - a mid-tempo house groover with a nostalgic ‘90s touch and an earworm vocal that literally goes “na na na…” (and good luck getting it out of your head). By the time peak season hit, “Nanana” was seemingly the most-played electronic track of the summer. It soared up global charts and became the unofficial song of sun-soaked afternoons and hands-up nights on the island. What made “Nanana” special was its crossover appeal; hardcore underground fans loved its retro Balearic vibe, while casual clubbers found it simply irresistible. The track’s music video even pays homage to Ibiza’s idyllic lifestyle, with Peggy wandering the island’s beaches and bars. By summer’s end, it truly felt like everyone in Ibiza was humming that blissful refrain. In capturing the carefree, loving essence of Ibiza, Peggy Gou’s “Nanana” earned its spot among the island’s all-time anthems.





“Move” – Adam Port & Stryv feat. Malachiii (2024) – Afro House

Sometimes a track doesn’t just soundtrack a season - it owns it. In 2024, that track was “Move” by Adam Port (of the Keinemusik crew) and Stryv, featuring vocalist Malachiii. Dripping with Afro-house flavor and a soulful plea to “move your body,” this song steadily caught fire across Ibiza’s dancefloors. With its rolling percussion and uplifting vocal, the track struck a chord, giving Ibiza clubbers a break from relentless tech beats and inviting them into a more hypnotic sway. As weeks passed, its popularity only grew; by season’s end, “Move” had achieved the ultimate honor: voted Ibiza’s official “Track of the Summer” at the DJ Awards. This was a big deal – the first time since the pandemic that a fresh anthem clinched that title. A testament to its impact, even mainstream pop took notice (a later version featured pop star Camila Cabello). But on Ibiza, it’s the original that left its mark. In a year when Afro and melodic house sounds reigned on the island, “Move” was the kingpin anthem that will forever remind 2024’s clubbers of their magical summer on the White Isle.





Each of these tracks, in its own way, captured the spirit of Ibiza during 2020–2025. From uplifting house melodies that healed us post-pandemic, to heavy tech-house drops that brought back the island’s edge, to crossover vocals that everyone could sing along to – they all became part of Ibiza’s musical DNA. As Ibiza continues to evolve, one thing remains constant: there will always be that next big tune uniting the island’s dancefloors in pure bliss. Here’s to the anthems of now – and the memories they’ve given us on the White Isle.

This Week’s Parties in Ibiza (July 24 - 30)

Ibiza is no stranger to sunrise. But for decades now, the first light of day hasn’t signalled the end of the party, it’s marked the start of something new. In Ibiza, the afterparty isn’t an add-on. It’s an institution. A rite of passage. A subculture within the culture. It's where the rules get hazy, the music gets weirder, and the stories become legend.



From the 1990s to today, the White Isle has cultivated a unique relationship with the after-hours. As clubs closed, the real heads knew: the best memories were just beginning. Whether on the beach, in a sweaty terrace, or tucked away in a hidden villa, Ibiza afterparties have birthed scenes, launched careers, and blurred the boundaries between night and day. This is their story.



Space Ibiza: Where It All Took Off (Literally)

If Ibiza’s afterparty culture has a spiritual birthplace, it’s the Space Terrace. Beginning in the early ’90s, British DJs Alex P and Brandon Block created a daytime phenomenon that felt revolutionary: dancing outdoors in broad daylight, eyes shielded from the sun, bodies still pulsing from the night before. Located directly under the flight path of incoming planes, ravers would routinely cheer as jets thundered overhead, adding to the euphoric madness.



At a time when most clubs around the world were winding down by sunrise, Space was just opening its doors. Its open-air format and marathon sets rewrote the clubbing rulebook. Carl Cox’s legendary residency cemented the venue as a global after-hours Mecca. “See you on the terrace” became a mantra - and often, a challenge. Space didn’t just host afterparties. It defined them.





Circoloco at DC10: The Monday Morning Movement

While Space ruled Playa d’en Bossa, DC10 emerged from the dust beside Ibiza airport as the anarchic younger sibling. Launched in 1999 by two Italians, Antonio Carbonaro and Andrea Pelino, the first Circoloco events were free Monday morning gatherings of about 80 people, dancing on a concrete terrace to minimal grooves. It was raw. Loud. Lawless.



But word spread. Fast. By the early 2000s, Circoloco had become the Monday ritual. There was no guest list, no VIP, no marketing - just serious music and the serious heads who followed it. Everyone from Tania Vulcano to Luciano and Loco Dice cut their teeth here. It was the kind of place where you arrived on a whim and left days later, wondering what had happened to your week.



Even amid police raids and noise complaints, DC10’s reputation only grew. Today, it’s fully legal and still utterly uncompromising. Ask any underground DJ where they’d want to play a sunrise set, and chances are their answer is still: DC10 on a Monday.



The Manumission Motel: Afterparties Gone Wild

In the glitter-drenched chaos of 1990s Ibiza, Manumission reigned as the world’s most flamboyant party. But few knew that the real madness happened after the main event - at the now-legendary Manumission Motel.



Conceived by party architects Mike and Claire McKay, this converted brothel on the road to Jesús became a private den of indulgence. Each of its 15 themed rooms played host to performers, celebrities, and wide-eyed clubbers swept in by invitation. This was no ordinary afterparty - it was a surrealist cabaret with no end.



One infamous tale involves BBC Radio 1’s Lisa I’Anson, who disappeared into the Motel’s grip and missed her morning broadcast - a scandal that became tabloid fodder. As author Irvine Welsh put it: “The Motel was a cavern of chaos. You didn’t know what day it was, or if you were ever going to leave.”



The Motel was eventually demolished in 2005. But its legend? Untouchable.





Bora Bora: Beachfront Freedom

Few venues encapsulated Ibiza’s carefree spirit like Bora Bora Beach Club. Situated directly on the sands of Playa d’en Bossa, Bora Bora was a beachside dancefloor open to all. No cover charge. No pretense. Just sun, sand, and the steady thump of house music from afternoon until, well, whenever.



In the late ’90s and early 2000s, under the guidance of resident DJ Gee Moore, it became the unofficial follow-up to Space. You’d leave the terrace drenched in sweat, grab a drink, and stumble barefoot onto Bora Bora’s dancefloor - a wooden deck scattered with sunbeds, people dancing on tables, and jet trails crisscrossing the sky.



Bora Bora’s secret was in its openness. Clubbers, locals, DJs, and curious tourists all shared the same space. And when classics like Ultra Naté’s “Free” dropped as the sun dipped low, the whole beach erupted. It closed in 2022, but the memory of dancing there, toes in the sand, remains one of Ibiza’s purest joys.





The Kave: Ibiza’s Underground Cathedral of Afterhours

Tucked away in the forested hills of Santa Eulària lies one of Ibiza’s most elusive and mythologised afterparty spots: The Kave. Operating strictly through word-of-mouth, The Kave has become a modern-day legend among after-hours lovers. Inside, the air is thick, the walls drip with condensation, and a kaleidoscope of lights flicker off jagged rock as deep, hypnotic house reverberates through the stone. Attendees describe it as an "Alice in Wonderland" descent, complete with surreal decor, round hobbit-like doors, and a dancefloor that feels like it was carved straight out of the earth. With line-ups often kept secret and sets from the likes of Solomun stretching past 14 hours, it’s become a pilgrimage for the brave, the bold, and the beautifully unhinged. Despite growing scrutiny from local authorities, The Kave continues to capture the rebellious spirit of Ibiza’s underground sometimes, you just have to be in the know.





Pikes: Decadence in the Hills

Long before influencer culture turned boutique hotels into photo ops, Pikes was a real-deal hedonist hideaway. Perched in the hills above San Antonio, it was home to Freddie Mercury’s infamous 41st birthday party - a three-day extravaganza involving dwarves, debauchery, and hundreds of bottles of Moët.



In the 2010s, Ibiza Rocks revived the venue, preserving its rakish charm and relaunching its in-house club “Freddie’s.” Suddenly, afterparties for the Ibiza Rocks live gigs were back at Pikes, with DJs like DJ Harvey, Fatboy Slim, and Sven Väth spinning unannounced sets in intimate rooms packed with those in the know.



At Pikes, anything could happen. Often did, and still does.





The Villas: Off-the-Grid Magic

No list of afterparties is complete without mentioning Ibiza’s legendary villa sessions. These are the stuff of whispered invites and wild legend - a friend of a friend with a place in Es Cubells, a secret sunrise set from Solomun, Ricardo Villalobos spinning in someone’s garden until Tuesday afternoon or Michael Bibi carrying on his Solid Grooves residency long past DC10’s closing time.



Unregulated, unpredictable, and often unforgettable, villa parties carry the essence of the after: music, connection, and a total disregard for time. They’ve become rarer thanks to noise crackdowns, but they endure as the purest expression of Ibiza’s “anything goes” energy.



In Ibiza, the afterparty isn’t the end. It’s the next beginning. And for those who’ve danced past dawn, shared stories on sun-soaked terraces, or climbed into taxis bound for who-knows-where, one truth remains clear:



The best nights don’t end at the club. They begin when the clubs close.
