Seven DJs tell us about the Ibiza sets that changed their lives

DC10 Terrace 2006 or 2007: "What DC10 was about: two titans of the underground in a sweaty, jam-packed booth. It was a six-hour set and I think I caught every track. I remember the contrast between them: Richie, a blond android with half a haircut, Ricardo a rusty robot you'd buy from some Jawas. They started groovy, finished pumping, and hit every adjective in between. The peak was when one of them dropped Daft Punk's 'Indo Silver Club' – and the asylum went mental."

Space Terrace 2002 or 2003: "The way Garnier hopped seamlessly between genres, playing classics from techno, house and d'n'b – without it sounding weird – was one of the best things I've ever heard on the island. He took risks, which the crowd appreciated, but he didn't go so far left-field that he lost the vibe. I think he even threw in Donna Summer – sometimes that can sound sort of tacky, but it worked. He left the whole terrace wanting more and I was so glad to be there."

DC10 2005: "It was in the middle of the minimal explosion at DC10 but Jennifer's music was such a refreshing change: lots of energy, very electronic, with minimal elements and dark at times, but always musical. To see her play the inside room at DC10 (which at the time was a lot more intimidating) was amazing. She had such style and confidence, and was in total control of the vinyl and the crowd. I loved every track she played. She totally nailed her first ever gig at DC10."

Cocoon Amnesia 2005: "This was when minimal was becoming prominent at places like DC10 and Cocoon – 'the less music in the music' was the motto – and Ivan just came and tore the rule book up by blowing the roof off Amnesia with house , techno and even some banging disco edits! It sticks in my mind to this day."

DC10 2001: "The first time I went to DC10 it was a revelation: all female DJs, the atmosphere was completely crazy, no security, outdoor vibes with no roof. Tania's set was in the second year I'd been going; she was playing the terrace with the sun shining, you could feel such a strong communal vibe, such a unique moment, everyone smiling and happy and such a feeling of freedom. It was raw, almost like a Mad Max movie, and it was so hot the vinyl was melting under the heat of the sun. She played a track I really love, 'Westchester Lady' by The Space Invaders. That track symbolises a lot of deep house from the nineties, it's one of my all-time favourites."

La Plage (now Ushuaia) 2010: "It was an intimate venue, rammed with people who seemed astonished to be seeing Luciano play such a personal set in a beautiful, beach-side venue. We were presented with top hats upon arrival, which helped set the tone for one of the best nights I've ever had. He played for three hours and had us all in the zone. It was the first time I heard Josh Brent 'Dicargo', which has been one of my favourites ever since; he ended with Inner City 'Big Fun'. Perfect."
