Best way to visit Ibiza - in a time machine. From an Interview with Creative Review In June 1989, Dave Swindells headed out to Ibiza for the first time on assignment for Time Out’s now defunct 20/20 magazine. Swindells had spent his life in clubs, and kept hearing that the Balearic island was the place to be. “I knew it was special because I’d heard so much about the island from Paul Oakenfold, Danny Rampling and Nicky Holloway when they were setting up their Ibiza-inspired ‘Balearic Beats’ nights Shoom, and Spectrum and the Trip in 1988,” he tells CR. “I was surprised to find some great shots that I’d previously overlooked that I could include in Ibiza ‘89 along with more club shots and previously unpublished photos taken on the beaches and around the island that show a little of the life beyond the dancefloors,” the photographer explains. The book also includes the original accompanying article written by Alix Sharkey (then-co-editor of i-D), which Swindells describes as “fantastically punchy and vivid reportage”. Not only does Sharkey’s essay provide context, it ensures the book isn’t just “sugar-coated in nostalgia” and that an authentic picture of the place is captured.
