Ibiza holidays have always focused on clubbing. In the '90s, when the European dance scene was at it's height, the island was jammed solid with party goers. This summer, as electronic dance music hits new heights and takes the US by storm, superstar veteran DJ David Guetta takes the stage to headline at Pacha on Thursday nights.

(TRAVPR.COM) UNITED KINGDOM   - ^21st June 2010 - Dance music first took the world by the scruff of its musical neck in the late 80s, in a storm that raged right through to the late '90s. But David Guetta, hailed as the saviour of electronic music, is set to kick off a second dance music revolution... and potentially a second Ibiza summer of love.

His chart topping collaborations with the Black Eye Peas, Kelly Rowland, Kelis, Akon and more, together with the Lady Gaga phenomenon, have raised awareness of dance music in the USA where it was first born. Chicago and New York dance music got off to a blinding start in the late '80s but the US media soon brought a halt to the genre's popularity, demonising it as only fit for drug abusers and gay men. As a result it took off in Europe but Dance turned out to be a relatively damp squib across the Atlantic.

Daniel Ox, BeatTheBrochure MD, has noticed a sudden surge in bookings for Ibiza holidays this summer. “Guetta heads the vanguard of a new wave of European DJs and producers who have a wide appeal in the US as well as closer to home. So if you're booking Ibiza package holidays ( http://www.beatthebrochure.com/flight-and-hotels/ )this summer, expect to be joined by a growing contingent of American house fans, flocking to Pacha on Thursdays to see Guetta in action.”

Some say the island's club scene has been missing something for the past decade. If the rumours are to be believed, Guetta will be breathing new life - as well as blasting a collection of seriously funky tunes - into Ibiza holidays (http://www.beatthebrochure.com/holidays/Balearics/Ibiza/default.asp ) this summer.

If you're a dance music lover in despair over where to go this year, you might find yourself dumping your all inclusive Majorca ( http://www.beatthebrochure.com/holidays/Balearics/Majorca/default.asp ) holidays, French camping holiday or British 'staycation' in favour of a fortnight's partying in Ibiza. You might find the experience is just as good as the old glory days... perhaps even better!
