The crowds have arrived, bikini-clad girls and 17 DJ's ready for action gather for the official photo while the clubbers get on board. They are met by beautiful hostesses offering glasses of champagne. The boat decked out in 'Ibiza World Club Tour' colours leaves the pier under a blazing sun. The sangria is flowing! Danielle Diaz opens the party with some sensual Deep House and immediately everyone is seduced.
Gently the party takes off and the full power of the sound system is felt. Euphoria is catching and everyone is dancing. Next up the resident spanish DJ on 'Oceanbeat' Cris Ruiz motivates the crowd further with his grooving house set following the 'Ibiza World Club Tour' intro. At this moment the crowd is highly charged. The German DJ's are on one after another playing House; Roger Horton, Ontonic, Jetique, and Le Caprice. The first champagne shower is released over the crowd on the floating dancefloor.
14:45hrs
A pause in the music allows everyone to have a refreshing dip or dive off the 4 metre high diving board on the back of the boat. The sea is crystal clear turquoise color! The clubbers are smiling and enjoying themselves immensely.
The Frenchman Chris Gekä is next on the decks with his masterful House & Tech House set, full of groove and then Sean Finn's set climbs and progresses the energy relentlessly.
15:15hrs It is time for the Electro & Progressive DJ's to unleash their beats on the crowd: Basti M, Jean Elan, DJ Prescher, Alex Greed, Jay Frog, Mark Bale, Vol2Cat, Dave Ramone, A2A, and DJ AXLNT, while the champagne showers cool off the clubbers.

The extraordinary adventure is much appreciated by the clubbers and the boat finally returns to the Playa D'en Bossa. The Master of Ceremonies Mario Schneider describes the experience as 'assembling all my DJ's together to play an event like this is a magical moment in a unique place, this creates an alchemy, a conviviality and a rich musical diversity which is beautiful to see. This dynamique, this eclectic
mix is the magic of 'Ibiza World Club Tour'.

At the club Bora Bora the DJ's and public mingle. This is one of the most memorable moments for the public who wish to get close to the artists. Overall we really adored the day and would highly recommend this unforgettable experience to young fans of electronic music. http:www.oceanbeat.es - http//www.ibizaworldclubtour.net

We accompanied Chris Gekä to the 'Santos Ibiza Coast Suite', an upmarket hotel close to Bora Bora where we go for the showcase of Beachgrooves radio (Chris is resident DJ). The place is bewitching and not just a place to pass by on way to 'Playa d' En Bossa', it is a luxurious and relaxing place for hanging out by the pool. A real corner of paradise, this magnificent hotel is the ideal place for the 'Beachgroove Pool Party' hosted by Derek D, manager of the radio station, and resident DJ's, performers, saxophinists, and singers. You can listen to Beachgrooves on Ibiza 99.1FM, Malaga 88.9FM, Marbella 97.1FM, Sevilla 102.9FM. Mission accomplished for this 1st edition! https://www.santosibiza.com http://www.beachgrooves.com

Just a few steps away on the Playa d'En Bossa, if you notice a giant statue of an elephant you have arrived at the 'White Elephant Restaurant'. Just recently opened, we enjoyed our meal on the terrace in simple yet stylish surroundings. The refined menu was presented to us by the owner Simone. We guarantee you will not be disappointed! https://www.facebook.com whiteelephantibiza

Further north is the iconic bar 'Mambo Cafe'. Open since 1994 it was the most popular Pre- party for Pacha. There, we found on the decks Martin Solveig surrounded by three pretty girls swaying their hips to his vocal house mix.
Martin was one of the first to use the Facebook Mentions app to allow fans to connect with him live! http//www.facebok.com/mamboibiza

Welcome back to Pacha and the club is packed for a party with Martin Solveig. Also invited is 'Secondcity' the American DJ & Producer playing tech house, who we saw for the first time at the 'Hard Rock Hotel' on the Pioneer stand. The Frenchman 'Tchami' who launched his label 'Confession Recordings' this year was also there as was the seductive 'Coco Cole' who shared the decks at Pacha with Martin last year. Finally the spanish 'John Jacobsen' played a more mainstream set. The opening party at Pacha featuring Martin's 'My House' set is a night not to be missed. Incredible energy which takes off like a rocket!
