Top 20 Ibiza Club Anthems (2010–2020)

From rooftop sunsets to sunrise terrace moments, Ibiza’s 2010–2020 decade delivered a new wave of club anthems that defined its ever-evolving sound. Whether born on the underground or blasting from the big rooms, these 20 tracks became part of the island’s DNA - soundtracking countless nights (and mornings) across the White Isle. How many of these dancefloor moments do you remember?

“Hungry for the Power” – Azari & III (Jamie Jones Remix) (2011)

– Tech House.

In the summer of 2011, this sleazy electro-house cut became an underground Ibiza anthem. First championed at DC10’s Circoloco by the likes of Jamie Jones and Seth Troxler, the Jamie Jones remix of “Hungry for the Power” had the dancefloor in a throb. Its stripped-down funk and suggestive vocal made it a Monday morning favorite - the kind of tune that would drop at 7AM and still get a full room cheering. The track was so ubiquitous in Ibiza’s underground that it tied for the island’s official Track of the Season honor in 2011. To this day, that dirty bassline instantly transports veterans back to hazy dawn moments on the DC10 terrace, are you one of them?

“Levels” – Avicii (2011)

– Progressive House.

Few tracks have had the immediate impact on Ibiza as Avicii’s “Levels” did in 2011. The song’s euphoric Etta James vocal sample and uplifting melody announced the arrival of EDM on the White Isle. Virtually every big-room DJ, from David Guetta to the Swedish House Mafia, dropped “Levels” at Pacha and Ushuaïa that summer. Clubbers belted out the “oh, sometimes” refrain in unison as confetti cannons burst overhead. “Levels” wasn’t just a global hit; in Ibiza it became a peak-time anthem that unified the superclub crowds in rapture. Its massive success paved the way for the EDM era on the island, and hearing its iconic breakdown still brings back memories of hands-in-the-air madness in 2011.

“Party Non Stop” – Pirupa (2012)

– Tech House

In summer 2012, no Ibiza dancefloor was safe from Pirupa’s relentless tech-house stomper “Party Non Stop.” Released on Loco Dice’s Desolat label, the track’s hypnotic loop and commanding vocal (“party non stop!”) took the island by storm. It didn’t matter if you were at an underground afterhours or a main room set - this tune would barrel in and the crowd would go absolutely wild. Marco Carola made it the unofficial anthem of his new Music On party at Amnesia, and Carl Cox even snuck it into a DC10 terrace set to drive the clubbers bananas. “Party Non Stop” was the ubiquitous banger of Ibiza 2012, even earning the coveted Track of the Season award that year.

“Don’t You Worry Child” – Swedish House Mafia feat. John Martin (2012)

– Progressive House

Debuted during Swedish House Mafia’s emotional final tour, this song quickly became the sing-along anthem of Ibiza 2012. The trio performed it under the stars at Ushuaïa and other Ibiza venues, and each time the reaction was spine-tingling - thousands of voices belting “don’t you worry, don’t you worry child” in unison as lasers cut across the sky. With its soaring vocals and bittersweet melody, “Don’t You Worry Child” encapsulated the euphoria of those big-room Ibiza moments. It transcended the clubs, too – beach bars and sunset cafés were soon playing the track as well, its lyrics becoming almost a farewell love letter to the island.

“Inspector Norse” – Todd Terje (2012)

– Nu-Disco/House

Funky, joyful, and utterly infectious, “Inspector Norse” brought a dose of Scandi-disco sunshine to Ibiza in 2012. Todd Terje’s instrumental jam oozes feel-good vibes with its groovy synth melody, and Ibiza embraced it across the spectrum: daytime pool parties, sunset sets, and even main room cameos. By late summer it seemed every DJ on the island had slipped “Inspector Norse” into their set. From the Space terrace to Pacha, its bouncy arpeggiated hook would drop and suddenly everyone would be smiling. In fact, it became a staple for disco-loving DJs like Dimitri From Paris, who reportedly played it at each of his Pacha gigs that season. “Inspector Norse” proved that a quirky nu-disco tune could stand alongside the heavy club bangers as an Ibiza anthem in its own right.

“Paper Aeroplane” – Francesco Rossi (2013)

– Deep House

A sultry slice of deep house with an unforgettable guitar riff, “Paper Aeroplane” floated into Ibiza in 2013 and never left. Its gentle groove and soulful vocal sample made it a perfect late-afternoon or early-evening track – you’d hear it warming up dancefloors at Destino or as a blissful come-down on beach soundtracks. But it wasn’t just for the chill moments: DJs like Solomun and Sasha worked “Paper Aeroplane” into their peak sets, the crowd swaying along to its infectious rhythm. The track’s cross-appeal was cemented when it was crowned Track of the Season at the 2013 Ibiza DJ Awards.

“Animals” – Martin Garrix (2013)

– Big-Room EDM

When 17-year-old Martin Garrix unleashed “Animals” in summer 2013, it spread through Ibiza’s superclubs like wildfire. The track’s minimal, thundering drop - essentially one monstrous synth riff - became the sound of the season for the EDM crowd. From Amnesia’s Cream nights to Ushuaïa day parties, every time that descending bassline kicked in, the place went absolutely berserk. “Animals” was a true crossover: underground DJs steered clear, but on the main stages it was unavoidable, a heavy-hitting thumper with a killer hook that turned into a bona fide summer anthem. Its popularity was so intense that it reportedly had some club managers jokingly “ban” DJs from overplaying it. Love it or not, “Animals” captured the rowdy, high-energy spirit of Ibiza’s big-room explosion!

“Finder” – Ninetoes (2013)

– House/Latin Tech

With a bouncy steel drum hook and irresistible groove, Ninetoes’ “Finder” became a quintessential Ibiza summer vibe in 2013. This track seemingly came out of nowhere - a relatively unknown producer from Germany - yet it quickly became the most Shazam’d song on the island that year. That tells you how often it was played: from the sun-soaked sands of Bora Bora beach to swanky lounge bars, “Finder” was everywhere. Its simple Latin-tinged melody made people smile and dance instantly. Techno titans even gave it a nod - Carl Cox famously dropped “Finder” during his Boiler Room Ibiza set, proving its universal appeal.

“Forget” – Patrick Topping (2014)

– Tech House

In 2014, Patrick Topping’s aptly titled “Forget” was literally unforgettable on Ibiza. This tech-house roller, with its shuffling bassline and earworm vocal snippet (“dance with me”), swept through clubs from DC10 to Sankeys. Every DJ in the tech-house scene had it holstered as a secret weapon, and it never failed to do damage. At Jamie Jones’ Paradise nights in DC10, “Forget” would drop and the room would erupt into a frenzy of bouncing bodies and finger-pointing approval. It even crossed over to bigger venues like Amnesia’s Terrace during Music On - a testament to its wide appeal. The track hit such heights that Patrick Topping snagged two DJ Awards in 2014, including Track of the Season for “Forget,” with the song having smashed dancefloors across Ibiza. Its success also announced Topping as a newcomer to watch.

“Walking with Elephants” – Ten Walls (2014)

– Melodic House/Techno

A haunting trumpet melody drifting over a thumping bass - “Walking with Elephants” was unlike any other anthem in 2014, and Ibiza embraced its uniqueness. The track’s melancholic yet uplifting vibe struck a chord on the island’s more melodic dancefloors. Underground DJs like Tale Of Us and Maceo Plex championed it for its emotive power, while more commercial DJs snuck it into trance and progressive sets. The song’s impact extended beyond the island - it climbed to #6 on the UK charts - but it was especially beloved in Ibiza, where it was hailed as one of the most popular songs of summer 2014. There was a magical memory tied to this tune. “Walking with Elephants” gave Ibiza clubbers a collective goosebumps moment - a poignant, almost cinematic anthem that captured the emotional side of those Balearic nights.

“Acamar” – Frankey & Sandrino (2015)

– Deep/Progressive House

Ibiza’s 2015 season was defined by an unlikely hit: the deep, celestial sounds of “Acamar.” This track, released on the Innervisions label, is an epic eight-minute journey of melodic arpeggios and atmospheric strings that enchanted the island’s underground. You couldn’t escape it – “Acamar” was everywhere, from Dixon and Âme’s sets at Ushuaïa’s afterparties to Solomun’s Sundays at Pacha. It wasn’t a hands-up banger but rather a build-and-release odyssey that would send the dancefloor into dreamy rapture. As the season went on, its stature only grew; at the DJ Awards 2015, “Acamar” was voted Track of the Season, confirming how thoroughly it dominated Ibiza that year. When those violin-like synth notes and faint vocal coos came in, the crowd response was almost spiritual – eyes closed, heads tilted back. For many, “Acamar” was the soundtrack to countless sunrise moments on Ibiza in 2015, capturing the island’s shift toward more emotive, melodic techno in the mid-2010s.

“Lean On” – Major Lazer & DJ Snake feat. MØ (2015)

– EDM/Pop

The summer of 2015 had a global anthem that Ibiza could not resist: “Lean On.” With its dancehall-infused beat and hypnotic vocals, this track blasted from car radios, beach club speakers, and big club sound systems. While more pop than typical Ibiza anthems, “Lean On” became the season’s guilty pleasure. Headliners like Diplo (of Major Lazer) and DJ Snake dropped it during their guest sets on the island, and it always got huge reactions, uniting the commercial crowds with underground revelers taking a breather from 4/4 beats. At pool parties in Ibiza Rocks and Ocean Beach, “Lean On” was a highlight that had everyone singing MØ’s ethereal chorus (“Blow a kiss, fire a gun…”) under the afternoon sun. By the end of 2015, “Lean On” was reportedly the most streamed song ever - and on the White Isle it left an imprint as the feel-good singalong of that summer.

“Final Credits” – Midland (2016)

– House/Disco

When it came to closing out a long night (or long morning) in Ibiza 2016, Midland’s “Final Credits” was the song DJs reached for. A glorious fusion of classic disco and modern house, “Final Credits” has a soulful looping vocal that, as soon as it hits, sends waves of joy across the dancefloor. It became an unofficial last-tune anthem in Ibiza - you’d often hear it as the sun was coming up, with clubbers hugging and singing along to that “doo-doo-doo” vocal refrain. Even at more techno-centric parties like Afterlife, the track found its way in: Tale Of Us’ crew dropped it at Space’s Terrace during the Afterlife closing, instantly spinning a room of hardened ravers into “rapid smiles” and celebratory dancing. Its appeal was universal; Ben UFO hammered it at Circoloco, The Black Madonna championed it, and by year’s end Mixmag and DJ Mag had named it the track of the year. In Ibiza terms, “Final Credits” is remembered as pure happiness in a song.

“Cola” – CamelPhat & Elderbrook (2017)

– Vocal House

You couldn’t order a rum and cola in Ibiza 2017 without someone quipping “she sips the Coca-Cola…”. Such was the ubiquity of “Cola,” a deep-house track with a strangely addictive vocal about a mysterious woman at the bar. Released on Defected, “Cola” struck gold on the White Isle’s dancefloors and beyond. It was groovy enough for the underground (frequently spun at Defected’s own Eden residency and at Glitterbox), yet hooky enough for the mainstream - by autumn it was nominated for a Grammy. In Ibiza, “Cola” truly was the anthem of summer ’17. “Cola” also clinched the Track of the Season award at the DJ Awards, cementing its status as the island’s favorite.

“More Than You Know” – Axwell Λ Ingrosso (2017)

– EDM/Vocal House

In summer 2017, former Swedish House Mafia members Axwell and Ingrosso gifted Ibiza a massive hands-in-the-air anthem with “More Than You Know.” This track combined a catchy vocal hook with a summery guitar riff and a driving drop - tailor-made for Ibiza’s big venues. Sure enough, the duo’s residency at Ushuaïa saw “More Than You Know” as the climax of their set each week, with pyrotechnics and CO₂ cannons punctuating the song’s explosive chorus. The track’s music video was literally shot in Ibiza’s festival atmosphere, capturing the carefree party spirit it embodies. It became that year’s feel-good singalong; whether you were a seasoned clubber or a first-timer on the island, you’d find yourself humming “I just need to know…” by season’s end.

“Your Mind” – Adam Beyer & Bart Skils (2018)

– Techno

By 2018, techno was ruling Ibiza’s biggest rooms, and one track ruled them all: “Your Mind.” A collaboration on Beyer’s Drumcode label, this pounding track pairs a hypnotic synth loop with a chopped vocal commanding “you’re losing your mind.” It became the unofficial anthem of Resistance at Privilege and Carl Cox’s nights - a true peak-time techno bomb. From Amnesia’s Terrace to DC10’s cavernous Main Room, “Your Mind” united the techno tribe. Its relentless groove symbolized the power of Ibiza’s later-2010s techno wave - no nonsense, high energy, and communal. Even those who lived for house or trance couldn’t escape it; “Your Mind” crossed genre lines to dominate the island.

“Losing It” – Fisher (2018)

– Tech House

If one track could challenge “Your Mind” for dominance in 2018, it was Fisher’s irrepressible tech-house banger “Losing It.” Arguably the biggest crossover club hit of the late 2010s, “Losing It” had every dancefloor on Ibiza hooked from the moment that iconic trombone-like drop first landed. This was a tune you heard everywhere: at underground venues like DC10, at beach clubs, and certainly at the new superclub of the year Hï Ibiza where Fisher himself headlined. The track’s appeal was universal – its pumping bassline and the cheeky vocal sparked instant reaction. It’s no surprise the track spent weeks at #1 on global charts and snagged a Grammy nomination. In Ibiza, “Losing It” was the people’s anthem of 2018 - a track that brought a smile to hardcore underground DJs and mainstream partygoers alike, uniting them in one sweaty, euphoric, bass-face moment each time it was played.

“One Kiss” – Calvin Harris & Dua Lipa (2018)

– Vocal House

Summer 2018 also had a lighter, pop-house anthem floating on the Balearic breeze: the irresistibly catchy “One Kiss.” Calvin Harris teamed up with Dua Lipa to deliver a modern house track with retro ’90s vibes, and Ibiza couldn’t get enough. “One Kiss” was omnipresent on the island’s airwaves and in its bars - you’d hear it drifting from café speakers in Ibiza Town and thumping on boat party sound systems alike. But it also slid surprisingly well into club sets. As the biggest global song of that year (it topped charts in 17 countries), “One Kiss” ensured Ibiza’s 2018 soundtrack had a dose of sun-kissed, vocal house bliss. The image of Dua Lipa’s sultry vocals wafting over a sunset crowd at Café Mambo remains a defining memory - proof that sometimes a straightforward, feel-good house track can capture the island’s heart as much as any underground banger.

“Joys” – Roberto Surace (2019)

– Vocal House/Tech House

Every Ibiza season has that one tune you just can’t escape - in 2019, it was undoubtedly “Joys.” A modern update of a classic disco sample (the diva vocals from Todd Terry’s “Bounce to the Beat”), “Joys” brought soulful house music back to the forefront in Ibiza’s clubs. It was championed by Marco Carola at Music On and embraced by virtually all the island’s house DJs. By mid-summer, you’d hear the “your love, it makes me feel” hook echo at DC10, Defected at Eden, Glitterbox at Hï - basically anywhere with a dancefloor. It also crossed over beyond the island, becoming one of the biggest house hits of the year. For clubbers in Ibiza, though, “Joys” is forever tied to that summer’s memory.

“Piece Of Your Heart” – Meduza feat. Goodboys (2019)

– Vocal House

Riding in at the tail end of the decade was a track that perfectly captured Ibiza’s love affair with vocal house: Meduza’s “Piece Of Your Heart.” Debuting in 2019, this tune by an Italian trio combined a chunky bassline, a ridiculously catchy chopped vocal hook and a big singalong chorus. It quickly shot to #1 in the UK and all over Europe, and in Ibiza you could practically feel it vibrating through the cobblestone streets. From big clubs to beach lounges, “Piece Of Your Heart” was everywhere. The track’s success heralded a new wave of melodic, vocal-driven house that Ibiza fully embraced going into 2020. It’s a fitting capstone to the 2010–2020 era - a song born from the underground spirit but with massive mainstream appeal, thriving in Ibiza’s unique melting pot of music and leaving an indelible mark on the island’s soundscape.

Each of these tracks, in its own way, captured the spirit of its time on the White Isle. From hands-in-the-air EDM epics to groove-heavy house jams and underground techno rollers, they all became Ibiza club anthems – the tunes that would drop at peak moments and forever tie our memories to those magical Ibiza summers.
