IBIZA VINTAGE: INSANELY AMAZING IMAGES OF THE '80s & '90s ON THE WHITE ISLE

Available from IDEA Books...

Ahead of the UK's mass exodus to Ibiza this season, DJ Mag has had the White Isle on the brain.

We've already hashed out the very best of what's on for 2015 in this month's magazine (June, 2015) as part of our annual Ibiza Guide, and now we've collected together the very best pics of the world's most hedonistic party paradise from the late '80s onward.

Titles include Ibiza Magazin (1981) — of which there are currently only two known issues — plus legendary Ibiza chronicles like Ku, Kiss Me Darling plus Ibiza By Ku and Paula's Ibiza (covers both pictured below).

As well as a collection of iconic images by British photographer Derek Ridgers, who took up residency at the island’s most famous club Ku in the '80s, the books and mags also showcase the work of two graphic artists, Yves Uro and Armin Heinemann.

Yves Uro, a freehand illustrator and graphic artist personally created hundreds of posters for Ku whilst Armin Heinemann — the owner of Paula’s Ibiza — was responsible for many of the go-to clubbing garments during the period.

You can snap up all of the books from the treasure trove that is IDEA Books in West London. If you've never been and you're a London local, hop on down here — trust us when we say, it's well worth the trip.
