Though much has changed on the White Island over the years, a few things surely have not. Long a centre for party, fun, and excess, Ibiza’s place within the lore of hedonism remain unmatched, drawing a history of nightlife dating back to some fifty years\u00a0and still thriving to this day.<\/strong><\/p>\n

What began in the 1960s as a hippy destination, eventually morphed into a disco haven, and now, the world’s most prominent clubbing area for electronic music (underground or otherwise), with the development of megaclubs like Space<\/strong>\u00a0and Amnesia<\/strong> directly coinciding with the development of the island as preeminent contemporary escapist destination.<\/p>\n

Now, Idea Books<\/strong> has compiled a collection of photo’s looking back at the island, specifically with a focus on its 1980’s and 1990’s scene. Taken from\u00a0Ibiza Magazin,\u00a0Paula\u2019s Book, Ibiza by Ku, <\/strong><\/strong>and\u00a0Ibiza L’Isola Della Notte<\/span><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong>, the images represent a bevy of\u00a0sun, feathers, and handlebar moustaches, prior to the influx days of foreign promotions and price gauging.<\/span><\/p>\n

These photos are a nostalgic throwback to a time where\u00a0celebrities, bohemians, night creatures, homos, trannies, natives and aristocrats came together, creating indescribable atmosphere and activities, many of which have become the stuff of legend.<\/p>\n

For an even wider look at the culture of classic Ibiza, especially through the eyes of Ku<\/strong> (what would become Privilege<\/strong>, and once considered the world’s most prestigious venue), also find your way to the stacked (albeit slightly censored) Facebook page KU IBIZA – BEST YEARS<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>(a gallery where Grace Jones<\/strong> appears in no small part).<\/p>\n
