The name of Ibiza has become synonymous with current musical trends over the last couple of decades. The 'super clubs' of Ibiza are renowned the world over as the global HQ of dance music, and deservedly so.
Not only for their size and splendour, but mainly for the unique atmosphere created by thousands of people, fresh off the beach, letting their hair down with a holiday vengeance.
However, it has to be borne in mind though that these clubs pre-date the dance music phenomenon by many years. Most have been around for three decades, during which time they have put on the top ranking artists of the moment down the years and therefore every musical genre that has come and gone over this period from the hippies onwards.
One can almost rest assured that whatever happens next e.g. the renaissance of live music, albeit in its 21st Century electronic guise, these same super clubs will be up there at the forefront with their darkness option to complement your beach side daytimes.
This is still the case today and will be tomorrow and more than likely forever. Witness the fact that the Global room at Pacha is devoting six nights a week to perfecting the blend of Hip Hop and R&B with House music in a very effective crossover, whilst on the other side of the island Es Paradis have had Twice as Nice dispensing R&B, Garage and 2-Step sounds for years.
In the meantime live music is making a comeback & the independent sound of the likes of the Kaiser Chiefs, Kasabian, Arctic Monkeys and many more up and coming talents are selling out the gigs staged by Ibiza Rocks, the latest brainchild of the Manumission posse.
