Trevor Fung, Making Ibiza Move
There are many excellent choices for gorgeous accommodations on the island, but our luxury Ibiza hotels offer excellence with a difference. We have selected our fine array of lodging choices based on their consistency in meeting or exceeding our high standards for service and style. This means that you’ll be enjoying the best hospitality around, as well as rejuvenating in an atmosphere that is sophisticated and contemporary. Old world standards for courtesy and graciousness are also in play here, and our friendly and well-informed staff will make you feel right at home. After a delicious meal served by our chefs who are well-schooled in classical and contemporary cooking techniques, and a delicious sleep in our gorgeous rooms, you’ll understand the meaning of rejuvenation.
You’ll be able to carry the relaxation with you, too, as Ibiza has a long tradition for taking it easy and having a good time. These are practically art forms here. Ibiza is one of the liveliest places in Europe, with a nightlife that is truly spectacular. Its reputation as one of the most exciting party spots in the world comes from a couple decades of musical innovations, coupled with some very astute entrepreneurs who saw potential in the crowds and the clubs. Its history is relatively short, but nonetheless fascinating as it tracks the development of electronic music. One of the pioneers in this field, and in the Ibiza scene, is Trevor Fung.
He was working in London, exploring the new music sounds there, on the tail end of punk rock’s high water mark and the advent of new wave. In the late 70s, he began vacationing in Ibiza and found that the experimental crowds responded very well to the exciting changes in music he was seeing, and playing. He soon began working there fairly regularly, taking cheap flights to Spain and testing out his ideas on the dance crowds there. By the late 80s, Trevor Fung had already established a very loyal following in Ibiza. His unusual mixes of pop and indie with house music caught on rather spectacularly. At some point, the innovations on Ibiza began overtaking the London evolutions, and the island found itself leading a revolution in electronic dance music. To this day, exciting new experiments of sound can be heard all over the island, thanks to the efforts of this dj pioneer.
