What Happened To 24-hour Clubbing in Ibiza?

There was a time when Ibiza genuinely never stopped. Clubs finished in the early hours and thousands of us simply carried on. Straight to Space, DC10, morning bars, boat parties and some seriously questionable after-parties.
I was right in the middle of it.
For years, I made a living running Ibiza after-parties, including the infamous Shipwrecked morning boat parties and the Dirty Rotten DJs events. We would start at 6am and sometimes carry on until the afternoon.
Then everything changed.
Restrictions introduced across Ibiza in 2007 and 2008 effectively brought the island's legendary morning clubbing culture to an end. For promoters like us, it completely changed our businesses. For clubbers, it changed the rhythm of Ibiza forever.
In this episode of My Take, I tell the story from my perspective: the first 6am Shipwrecked parties, transporting hundreds of ravers across the island when the restrictions began, the madness of Ibiza's after-party scene and what happened when 24-hour Ibiza finally came to an end.
Did you experience Ibiza's legendary morning clubbing era? Did you go straight from Manumission to Space, dance at DC10 in the morning, or end up at one of the island's infamous after-parties?

Returned again in 2006, 2016 & 2018. The latter two years being non-club/party trips to the north.
Great memories & content knowing I caught some of the best times on the island.
I’d have loved to have been there ‘87-‘88… onwards when the scene was evolving but I was only 13/14-years-old!

There's also another issue, almost everywhere clubs are closing because of two reasons: inflation and overwork. Every year, my standards at work are being raised, but my salary not so much so I'd rather avoid being hungover on Monday or Friday (or any working day) because then I will get written up. And I am not the only experiencing this. I see gen Z partying very rarely and conservatively
