Dirty Disco 635 – An Introspective Deep House Journey (Tracklist, Labels & Full Breakdown) Kono Vidovic
Ibiza in 2026 is a juxtaposition. On one side, you have the digital perfection of the world’s biggest superclubs. On the other, hidden in the cobbled streets of the old towns and the quiet corners of the island, lies a thriving, soulful analog resistance. For the dedicated listeners of Dirty Disco Radio, the DJs, producers, and deep house purists, this analog heartbeat is where the true magic of the White Isle resides.
In a world where algorithms dictate streaming playlists, buying vinyl is a deliberate act of curation. It’s about slowing down, feeling the groove, and discovering that obscure Balearic edit or raw Chicago house track. With commercial rents pushing many traditional shops out of business, the scene has adapted. Whether you are hunting for underground labels or looking to sip cocktails through a bespoke hi-fi sound system, this is your verified 2026 guide to Ibiza’s surviving record stores, pop-up vinyl communities, and audiophile listening bars.
Brick-and-mortar record shops have become incredibly scarce on the island. With legendary spots like Delta Discos transforming into tourist souvenir shops, and pioneers like Can Vinilo transitioning strictly to online sales via Discogs , the remaining independent stores are true sanctuaries for the dedicated digger.
Tucked away at Bisbe Abad y Lasierra 13, MTM is frequently cited by local DJs as one of the last true, uncompromising hubs for electronic music on the island.
Relaunched by legendary London/Ibiza selector Bekka Rawkins, For The Record represents the beautiful evolution of record shopping. Located on the upper floor of the popular Wax Cafe (de Carles V. 9), it merges coffee culture with serious crate-digging.

Due to Ibiza’s soaring real estate prices, much of the island’s vinyl culture has gone nomadic, creating highly engaging, community-driven events.
Operating as a fluid, grassroots collective, the IVC hosts pop-up record fairs and “Vinyl Voyagers” events, primarily at the legendary Las Dalias Café and its intimate club space, Akasha.
These events are treated as “analog rituals.” They feature an Open Decks policy (welcoming both local talent and touring legends), a Vinyl Exchange where collectors swap rare pressings, and a meticulously tuned “Project Equilibrium” sound system. The soundtrack effortlessly glides from sun-drenched Balearic to dark acid disco, perfectly mirroring the eclectic curation of a Dirty Disco podcast.
If you visit the island in the off-season, you cannot miss the annual Ibiza Record Fair in San Antonio. Held in a massive marquee at Passeig de ses Fonts, it brings together dozens of independent sellers, international diggers, and local DJs for a weekend of intense trading and back-to-back DJ sets.
Sometimes, you don’t want to buy the record; you just want to hear it played perfectly. Inspired by Japanese Jazz Kissa culture, Ibiza’s listening bars offer a refined, tonally flawless alternative to the mega-clubs.
One of the most exciting new additions to the island for 2026 is the Urusai Sunset Bar, opened by El Silencio Ibiza. Curated by Jaime Fiorito (son of the legendary Balearic pioneer DJ Alfredo), this oceanfront venue is a true audiophile sanctuary.
Hidden in the back alleys near the Dalt Vila harbor, Paradise Lost is an eccentric, dimly lit rum and cocktail bar that doubles as a sanctuary for analog electronic music. Boasting a true Balearic playlist, it frequently hosts unannounced vinyl-only sets from progressive maestros and underground house legends. They even have a dedicated recording studio above the bar for visiting producers.
Operating as a living archive of Ibiza’s decadent musical history, Pikes is legendary. The infamous “Freddie’s nightclub” suite, where Freddie Mercury held his 41st birthday, is now the island’s most exclusive, often vinyl-only party space. With its own label (Pikes Records) and a soundtrack dripping with Italo-disco, rare new-wave, and uplifting house, it perfectly bottles the authentic spirit of the island.
Also very interesting: Tokyo record stores and listening bars.
A: Due to commercial pressures, physical stores are rare. However, MTM in Ibiza Town remains a premier destination for raw, club-focused underground tracks. For The Record (above Wax Cafe) is the best spot for deep house, disco, and soul.
A: Absolutely. The Ibiza Vinyl Club (IVC) regularly hosts nomadic pop-up record fairs, vinyl exchanges, and “Vinyl Voyagers” events, frequently at Las Dalias. Additionally, the Fira del Disc d’Eivissa is a major annual record fair held in San Antonio during the off-season.
A: Inspired by Japanese Jazz Kissa culture, audiophile listening bars focus on high-fidelity, flawless sound quality rather than loud, overwhelming volume. Venues like the Urusai Sunset Bar feature custom-built acoustic systems where you can listen to curated vinyl selections in a relaxed, beautifully designed environment.
A: Yes! While the island is famous for electronic music, For The Record (located above Wax Cafe in Ibiza Town) has deep crates of classic soul, funk, and obscure disco.
The vinyl culture in Ibiza proves that music is more than just background noise—it’s an intentional, physical, and communal experience. Whether you are swapping white labels at Las Dalias, digging through the crates at MTM, or absorbing the pristine audio at Urusai Sunset Bar, Ibiza’s analog heartbeat is stronger than ever.
Keep digging, keep listening, and stay deep.
