Posted: 27 Jun 2008 09:53 PM CDT

Before Ibiza there was no 'chill out'.

To our shock and amazement, we discovered that one of the best (with a dancefloor that moves at over 30 mph) was right under our noses. There is huge demand to get into this club in Ibiza, and it's so exclusive that even DJs like Richie Hawtin and Carl Cox haven't played there yet. It's the only venue in the world that asks you to pay when you leave...
