It is at this time that the clubs of Ibiza began to gain international fame. On the night of JAmnesia reopened under MFC management. The original Balearic Beat emerged invented by legends like DJ Alfredo Fiorito. Freestyle mixing was permitted and house was about to take over. In the 1980s, Prontxio Izaguirre took over the running of Amnesia, and the music changed to dance music, a mix between pop and funk, and hip hop.

In 1978, Ginés Sánchez, a manufacturer from Madrid took over Amnesia. However, the next day he realized that the Greek word Amnesia contains it all. He wanted to express that when people go out at night it is to forget their problems and indulge in an unknown world far away from ordinary routine. He launched a discotheque named "El taller de los olvidadizos" ("The Workshop of the Forgetful Ones").
In May 1976, Antonio Escohotado, a Madrid born philosopher who had arrived on the island five years earlier to start a new life, signed a lease with the landlady for use of the premises. Ibiza, which had become a destination for tourism already in the fifties, was at that time a hive for counterculture and idealists and the building that was to become Amnesia turned into a meeting point with hippie bands playing and other facets of hippie culture taking place. The origins of Amnesia are in April 1970, when the Planells family who had inhabited the house for five generations decided to move into town and sell their finca (country house) to a widow from an aristocratic background.
