Soul City proved long ago that there's more to Ibiza's nightlife scene that just dance and house, and has played a big part in bringing about the island's assorted forays into urban music territory.

The formula has stayed the same throughout; seven nights a week, Soul City's residents spin a wild and varied mash-up covering hip-hop, R&B, soul, funk, ragga, garage, drum 'n' bass, and more recently, bassline and UK Funky, this Summer's fad genre of choice. As you might expect, it's immensely popular with holidaying Brits, not only because of its fresh and open-minded music policy, but because even in these cash-strapped times it remains free to get in and rocks all the way to 6am.

This season, Soul City's faced a bit of new competition further back in San An's West End. The Twice As Nice crew have opened their own TAN-branded bar, similarly offering urban music every night of the Summer to complement their Thursdays at superclub Eden. But Soul City remains the originator, and the crowds that have already flocked to rave to new '09 resident Tommy Sparks and the long-established DJ Ice are proving that the club's built up some strong and valuable loyalty among in-the-know holidaying urban heads.
