Between 1998 and 2003, Ibiza was more than an island, it was a state of mind. Days bled into nights, music never stopped, and a generation of clubbers surrendered to the rhythm of freedom, intensity, and excess.
Photographer Dean Chalkley, celebrated for his portraits of Oasis, Idris Elba, and Amy Winehouse, found himself at the center of this world while working for Mixmag, the most influential dance-music magazine of the time. His camera became a witness to an unforgettable era: from ecstatic dancefloors and sun-drenched beaches to surreal foam parties at Amnesia and the wild intimacy of after-hours gatherings.
This book brings together his most striking images, fast, raw, and uncaptioned, capturing the atmosphere of Ibiza’s golden age without filters or explanations, as if you were there.
Back in Ibiza 1998–2003 is a visual time machine: a celebration of hedonism, community, and the pure, untamed joy of partying before the digital age.
