Sant Antoni de Portmany, Ibiza - There is a short stretch of coastline on Ibiza's west side, barely three hundred metres long, that changed the way the world listens to music. Ses Variades, the Sunset Strip, is where a handful of bar owners worked out in the early 1980s that if you pointed the furniture at the horizon and played the right record at the right moment, several hundred people would stop talking at once. Chill-out was not invented in...

Sant Antoni de Portmany, Ibiza - Almost every chill-out record ever made owes something to a white building on the rocks at Ses Variades. Cafe del Mar opened in 1980, facing due west, and within a few years had established a ritual that is now performed nightly in beach bars from Goa to Tulum: people gather, the light drops, and a resident DJ plays a set built entirely around a horizon.

Ibiza Town, Spain - Getting to 1742 is part of the experience. Guests leave their car below and are collected by the restaurant, because the top of Dalt Vila, the fortified old town and a UNESCO World Heritage site, is closed to ordinary traffic.

Playa d'en Bossa, Ibiza - Long before the superclubs, before the sunbeds, before anyone thought to charge for a view of the sea, the people of this island worshipped Tanit. A Phoenician deity carried to Ibiza in antiquity, she was the goddess of the moon and of fertility and, in the version islanders still tell, of dance. Two and a half thousand years later, the argument that Ibiza was always going to become what it became usually starts with...

Playa d'en Bossa, Ibiza - Every clubbing capital has a room like this. Not the headline venue, but the one you go to first. The place where the group meets at eleven, where the plan gets made, where the first three hours of the night are quietly decided. On Playa d'en Bossa, that room is Tantra.

Playa d'en Bossa, Ibiza - There is a white tuk-tuk parked on the boardwalk outside, which tells you most of what you need to know. Playa d'en Bossa has spent fifteen years getting steadily more expensive, more exclusive and more vertical. Tuk Tuk went the other way: a thatched roof, a sand floor, banana plants, tall canes, long tables, and a Southeast Asian menu served to people who have not bothered to put shoes on.

Ibiza, Spain - Every other venue in this series has the same job: make several hundred people feel something. A radio studio has the opposite job. It has to tell one person the truth.
