Are there any true summer anthems anymore in Ibiza or is that an era of house music past?

I think the move to streaming has changed things, before songs would get big during summer trips abroad before being a chart hit. A great cheesy pop example is Whigfields Saturday Night, people came home and told freinds about this mass dance they did on holiday and a massive chart hit was created.

For Dance music listening has probably become more fragmeted you can listen to whatever you want when you want. Getting played on shows like Pete Tong, Tiesto's podcast etc still a big boost to artists tho.
 
At least from my perspective here in Switzerland it feels like especially young people ~16-20 tend to listen to hard techno, goa and stuff (if they even listen to electronic music). Some festivals that used to invite more melodic and House DJs some years ago now tend to book more and more harder acts, like 'I hate models', '999999999', 'Charlotte de Witte', 'Deborah de Luca' (last two already feel very mainstream) and so on. Also Trance seems to have a comeback.
And then of course the likes of Adriatique, Solomun, the Afterlife crew and also some live (singing) acts like Monolink, Jan Blomqvist, WhoMadeWho, Joplyn and so on feel popular. Classic/funky house seems to be getting more and more niche. So, no Defected or similar label parties like some years ago. Some labels like keinemusik, Katermukke, Stil vor Talent, ... (luckily) have regular label parties too, at least in Zurich, but probably still a bit smaller than others. To me it feels like the keinemusik crue released some ear worms like The Church, Discoteca, 2000, Forms Of Love, ... that felt like summer anthems to me even if some of them couldn't be played when released due to C. So that pandemic might have had a big impact, too, the last three years.
And like @Digital2013 wrote: People changed their habits how they listen to music in the last ~5-10 years.

Let's hope for better times - at least if it comes to summer anthems :)

Edit: And I forgot: Also it feels like in the last ~10 years many other spots in the world got very big and influential electronic music scenes or seasons, like Tulum, Amsterdam, Barcelona, Croatia, Buenos Aires, (Berlin) ... and then there's 'Cercle' doing popular stuff around the world with big names of the scene and so on. So it's like 'summer' the whole year and so much influence from everywhere 😅

There’s still amazing music out there if you can be bothered to look for it, in the right places... If you think there will ever be another Horny or Beachball, dream on, the world’s a different place. Summer hits don’t exist anymore. There’s no single narrative. Everything‘s fragmented now. I love this tune for instance. I doubt many others do though.

Totally agree - in case my last message seemed like I wouldn't be happy with the new music being released: in the opposite. In the last 2 or 3 years I kind of started loving many other styles (Indie Dance for example) and there's so much beautiful music being released every week. It's almost too much/stressful to keep up with 😅
