I am not a house music follower nor to i go to the clubs, but even I find it hard to believe that Ibiza owes nothing to these categories of people or this scene. Im not talking about specific resorts but the island as a whole
Would have to agree with the point that the clubs have contributed to the Ibiza vibe.
They are the gateway, or Ellis Island, to a number of young tourists that arrive in the Island as novices each year.
Many, due to chemical influences, may not tune into the Island straight away, but a lot will catch on to the special vibe, and go in search of it when they are ready.
Much in the same way the Hippies stumbled across Ibiza on the way to Goa, many of the clubbers will stumble into the Ibiza vibe on the way to Tiesto at Privilege or Carl Cox at Space.
I know many of the young local Islanders are very proud of the image that Pacha and Space projects to the world and lends a dash of style to the Island.
The one thing that the clubs can be responsible for, is for introducing a more affluent and stylish dimension to the Island.
The clubs are the temples of Music on the Island. Music is such a vital element of our lives, without it we would be soulless. Ibiza was named after a god associated with music and music will always, always be associated with Ibiza. Wheather is kicking hard house or some guy playing the bongo drums, Ibiza will welcome it.
