Heading out to Ibiza this summer? Here’s a round-up of the best parties when it comes to bass music…
Once was a time when Ibiza was the sole preserve of house and techno. These days – thanks to the likes of We Love’s wide-eared line-ups and Carl Cox’s love for D&B on the Space Terrace – visitors to the White Isle can expect every flavour of electronic music. Including very generous servings of bass.
Here are six of the best places to find it in Ibiza 2015…
