Ku, Ibiza 1984

When Derek Ridgers spent his first vacation in Ibiza in 1983, he was amazed by the vibrant and extraordinary nightlife of its capital, especially the enormous KU club located a few kilometers away. Upon returning the following year, he decided to immortalize it all and present it to The Face magazine. However, the idea of an article about the Ibiza scene was rejected.

It is undeniable that those years marked a renaissance of music, freedom, and creativity on the island, which was exported around the world. Balearic beats, ecstasy, chillout, superclubs, and the rave scene became the biggest story of youth culture in the eighties.

Forty years after these never-before-published photographs, OJOS DE BUEY recovers this testimony of Ibiza, dubbed "the decadent playground of everyone's imagination."
