According to those very same marquee DJs, however, the Ibiza experience has become far too expensive for the average EDM fan to enjoy, with exorbitant ticket prices and VIP amenities turning the legendary island into just another playground for the rich and famous (Ibiza is where actor Orlando Bloom recently took a swing at Justin Bieber as Leonardo DiCaprio cheered him on).

"It was more of a tastemaker, a musical discovery, than it is now," DJ Steve Angello, former member of the Swedish House Mafia told BBC Newsbeat. "Now it is about selling tickets and big names, it has become what it is everywhere else. The mystique of Ibiza isn't there any more."

The way the party promoters tell it, the high price of Ibiza nightlife is a necessary evil to present A-list DJs and synapse-firing productions seven days a week throughout the summer.

"It is as expensive as any other holiday destination that has to make it's money in a small window when the tourists are here," explained Steve Hulme, the musical director for popular Ibiza club, Pacha. "There is no real desire from the clubs just to up the charges as much as we can, there's a cost versus income and a basic profit that needs to be made. So the ticket prices are not 'Let's charge X amount for X amounts'. Everything is calculated on a needs must, we have major costs of running the businesses we have here."
