Seven of the world’s best-known clubs are in Ibiza - Amnesia, Space, Pacha, Privilege, El Divino, Eden, Es Paradis - but for underground techno and house fans DC10 has always been the place to get down.

But whilst DC10 has slowly but surely risen to dominate the underground scene of Ibiza, a club by name of Ibiza Underground has also quietly been offering an alternative club vibe hidden well away from tourists.

“Ibiza Underground doesn’t do any advertising, we don’t announce our line-ups and we don’t charge on the door,” Underground’s owner Nick Fry told Beatportal last night.

“We’re not in it for the money, we just offer an alternative space for people to enjoy themselves.”

Ibiza is where dance anthems get forged, and so far this season Eric Prydzhttp://www.beatportal.com/images/site/misc/wiki_box_a.gif ‘Pjanoo’ is one of the big tracks of the summer on the island.

It’s everywhere in Ibiza, in taxis, bars and clubs, and all over the radio.

Is diversity always a good thing?

The scene outside the Ibiza Rocks hotel last night wasn’t something you’d expect to see in Ibiza. A hoard of skinny-jeaned, converse-wearing, Pete Doherty hat-sporting NME wannabes congregating on the streets of San Antonio in anticipation for the live bands they were about to see.

Steve Aoki’s Top 3 Ibiza tracks and Essential Mix

American DJs are few and far between in Ibiza as the island is more Euro-centric, but Steve Aoki is one Los Angeles transplant that has made a big impact on the party island.

As resident DJ of Ibiza Rocks, Steve Aoki plays at the much-hyped Ibiza Rocks Hotel every two weeks, warming up the arena for the headlining rock bands.

He won ‘Best Set of the Season’ at the Ibiza Awards 2007, and last week he stepped up to the famous BBC Radio 1 turntables to produce an Essential Mix, a set usually reserved for only the DJing elite.

Video: Ibiza protesters dance for freedom

With clubbers, hippies and artistic types lining the protest route in Ibiza yesterday, the demonstration had an impromptu, creative spirit.

At every major junction, the protesters would sit on the street clapping and shouting, with the energy building, before all of them jumped in the air in unity.

It was very dance music, and very DC10.

Ibiza clubbers protest on the street

Last night at about 7.30pm the roads came to a standstill in the centre of Ibiza, Spain but not because of the usual high volume of August tourist traffic.

It was the 400 or so protesters sitting in the middle of Vara de Rey street in Ibiza Town that caused the tail back.

“Libertad! Libertad! Libertad!” they shouted, which is Spanish for ‘freedom’.

But why do people in Ibiza feel their freedom is being taken away from them?

The front doors of DC10 in Ibiza might have police tape over it right now, but that hasn’t stopped the club’s famous Circoloco crew from pressing ahead with the release of their mammoth 10 Year Anniversary triple CD release.

With five individual mixes from the club’s resident DJs - Tania Vulcano, Sossa, Matthias Tanzmann, Thomas Melchior and Romanian threesome Arpiar (Pedro, Raresh & Rhadoo) - the triple pack celebrates Circoloco’s famous hedonistic spirit and showcases the club’s connection to quality, cutting-edge techno, minimal and house.
