Remember being in Ibiza when your only worries were which events to attend, Shazam not recognising the unreleased tunes your favourite DJ played and of course the crucial decision in whether to miss your flight home? It seems so long ago now, but with the Island slowly opening up, it is starting to feel within touching distance.

We have missed our beloved Island and we know you have too. We decided to ask our community:

What is your #1 Ibiza tune?

Now we launch our refreshed Defected Ibiza playlist curated by you, showcasing the very best Ibiza anthems, many of which have soundtracked our favourite moments of all time.


Stardust – Music Sounds Better With You

Chosen by Ibiza legends The Mambo Brothers, this track needs no explanation as to why it lands on our top Ibiza anthems list… 

Octave One - Blackwater

With its iconic lyrics, ‘just open your heart, just open your mind and let your love flow like the sunshine’ you can’t not sing along to this one…

Angie Stone - Wish I Didn’t Miss You (Pund Boys Remix)

Those lucky enough to be at Carl Cox’s legendary closing fiesta at Space, will remember him dropping this seminal record. What a moment…

Junior Jack - E Samba

Released in 2003 but still sounds just as good now… 

G Club - Guitarra G

Few records have a sonic aesthetic as Balearic as this one…

CamelPhat + Elderbrook - Cola

The #1 most Shazamed track in Ibiza 2018, this one deserves to be heard on the island’s biggest soundsystems.

Pachanga Boys – Time

Darius Syrossian’s pick, described as a ‘psychic expedition’, 15 minutes of spiritual oneness… 

Hot Natured – Benediction

A track that will never lose its touch, crowned 2012’s anthem of the summer… 

Finder – Ninetoes

An addictive, floor-filling record that had us glued to the dancefloor in 2013…

Lovebirds – Want You In My Soul

A track made for sunsets and good times, embedded in the soul…
