Music and Dancing
Dancing in the local clubs is
led by some of the world’s top
DJs. They include Fatboy Slim,
Paul van Dyk, Mark Spoon,
Carl Cox and John Digweed, to
mention but a few. These DJs
dictate which music will later
find its way into the clubs of
London, Paris and Berlin. Each
year they try to surprise their
fans with something new.
As the party season ends
in Ibiza, most of the top clubs
and their associated DJs go on DJ Sonique at the decks in Es Paradis
worldwide tours, promoting
their latest music. Individual Before and After DIRECTORY
clubs also produce CDs of last
