Arizona-born, Portland-raised DJ and producer Freak On has grown his presence in house music since making the move to Los Angeles after seven years as a firefighter and EMT in Oregon. He’s performed at big time venues such as SOUND LA, Splash House, and The Shrine while releasing music on reputable labels such as Thrive Music, Repopulate Mars, and House Call Records. His tracks have earned support from leading names across the scene, helping him build momentum on both club and festival stages.

In this interview, Freak On talks about his journey from emergency response work to touring, tracks that never leave the USB, and the mindset behind his work in the studio.



What’s one thing most people don’t know about you?


I was a firefighter/EMT in Oregon for seven years before pursuing music in LA.



If you weren’t a DJ/Producer, what would you be?


I would most likely still be working in emergency medicine.



Who’s an artist that inspires you right now?


Murphy’s Law, Luke Dean, Jamie Jones, and Franky Rizardo.





What’s a track you play when you want to get the crowd hyped?


My edit of “Pump Up The Jam” has been a great crowd mover lately.



What’s your go-to snack or drink before a show?


If I can grab some pizza before a show, that’s the move I’ll make!



What’s your favorite city to play in, and why?


I’ve always had so much fun playing in LA. The crowd is always reactive and engaged.



How would you describe your sound in three words?


Fun, energetic, groovy.



What’s one non-music-related thing that makes you happy?


Working out.



What’s a track that always brings you back to your roots?






If you could collaborate with any artist, dead or alive, who would it be?


Avicii.



What’s your favorite non-music-related hobby?


Snowboarding.



If you could time travel to any era of music history, when would it be and why?


The ’70s — for the peak of disco!



What’s a record that never leaves your crate or USB?


“Eeny Meeny” by Haynes.



If you weren’t touring or in the studio, where would we find you?


At the gym, hanging with family and friends, or playing video games.



When do you feel most at peace?


Phone off, back in Oregon during the summertime visiting my family.



As someone who deals with technology and computers to write music, has there been a gut-wrenching story where you lost your music or tracks you were working on?


Yes. I actually had one of my external hard drives corrupt — it held a ton of my samples. Most of my WIPs were half-empty, so I decided to just start over. It was terrible at the time, but in the long run, it turned out to be a blessing in disguise.



What makes you cringe when you listen to your early material?


I try not to be too hard on myself for what I wrote early on, but I’d say the mixdowns and sample choices stand out the most.



What do you find yourself obsessing over most in the studio?


The groove of the track — how the percussion and bassline make it move.



What is your favorite set time and duration?


I’d say a three-hour set is perfect. You can set the tone, build it up, and tell a story well — not to say I wouldn’t love playing longer.



If you had the power to erase and abolish one musical genre for all eternity, which one would it be?


Noise music.

Freak On: Fitness, Firefighting, and Finding Flow Behind the Decks

We sat down with ANATTA for a quick, fun Q&A to get to know him beyond the booth — the food he loves, the tracks he plays to fire up a crowd, and the things that keep him grounded outside of music.

Since breaking onto the scene in 2020, ANATTA has released more than 60 tracks, scored three No. 1 EPs on the minimal/deep tech charts, and built his own label, ILLUSTRATE, home to artists like Chesster, Fede Aliprandi, Omari, and Inflair. Off the dance floor, ANATTA keeps a clear and simple routine. He studied law before fully diving into music, still rides mountain bikes and dirt bikes whenever he can, and has a ritual of sushi and sake before shows. 

From a breakout set at Coachella to finding one of his favorite crowds in New York City, his journey has been fast-moving — but he hasn’t forgotten those early gigs playing to empty rooms on shaky setups that shaped his grind. In this interview, ANATTA talks about the tracks that serves as weapons in his sets, the artists inspiring him right now, and what it’s been like to build a label while touring.



If you weren’t a DJ/Producer, what would you be?

I would be a lawyer. It runs in the family, and it’s what I went to school for.



What’s the most memorable moment of your career?

So far, it has to be playing Coachella.



Who’s an artist that inspires you right now?

I’m getting a lot of inspiration from Dabeull. He’s a little outside of dance music, but his music is incredible.



What’s a track you play when you want to get the crowd hyped?

LF System – All I Got. It works every time.



What’s your go-to snack or drink before a show?

Sushi and sake are always a safe bet for me.



What’s your favorite city to play in, and why?

New York City is my favorite. The crowds I’ve played for there are really receptive to the full scope of my sound.



How would you describe your sound in three words?

Funky, swing, disco.



What’s one non-music-related thing that makes you happy?

Dirt bikes. I grew up racing them and still love the sport.



What’s a track that always brings you back to your roots?

Dennis Cruz – Everybody.



What’s your favorite non-music-related hobby?

Mountain biking. There’s a mountain right next to my house, so it’s nice to ride when it’s cool outside.



If you could time travel to any era of music history, when would it be and why?

The era of Studio 54. I bet that room was magic, and I love that whole era of music — as corny as it may be.



What’s a record that never leaves your crate or USB?

Ki Creighton – Trivial.



What is something simple that makes you smile?

Blueberry muffins.



When do you feel most at peace?

Unfortunately, when I’m smoking a cigarette.



What are some things you forget but feel better when you’re reminded about?

The early days of DJing. I started at the absolute bottom — playing bad shows, with no people and terrible setups. Looking back on that always makes me grateful for where I am and motivates me to keep going.



What makes you cringe when you listen to your early material?

The mixdowns, the writing, the sample selection — pretty much everything about it. I’ve changed a lot as a producer.



What do you find yourself obsessing about most in the studio?

Every part of creating a track. I tend to obsess over the hook, the vocal, and the groove. Those three things need to click for me to be happy with a track.



What is your favorite set time and duration?

I love peak-hour sets. I have a ton of high-energy, classic-sounding house that I really enjoy playing out.



If you had the power to erase one musical genre forever, which one would you choose?

Most people would probably go with country or screamo, but those are actually two of my favorite genres outside of house. I could probably do without opera — it’s never done anything for me.

October's Parties in Ibiza (Part 1)

Ask ten people what makes Ibiza special and you’ll get eleven answers, but most circle the same truth: the island lives two lives. By day, it’s sun-kissed, social, and cinematic; by night, it’s a cathedral of sound where light, sweat, and bass bind thousands of strangers into one crowd. Understanding Ibiza means understanding the hand-in-hand rhythm of these realms - how they differ, how they overlap, and why you really need both to “get” the island.



Day: the open-air overture





Daytime is Ibiza’s soft-power seduction. Music starts as ambience, Balearic melodies washing over iced coffees and sea breeze, then swells into something you can’t help but move to. Beach clubs and pool venues curate the arc: mellow brunch beats, golden-hour sounds, and the occasional hands-in-the-air finale. The soundtrack leans feel-good and sun-friendly: vocal house, soulful disco, classic anthems, tropical and melodic strains of tech-house. Live flourishes like sax, percussion and singers are common. The point isn’t to pummel; it’s to buoy.



Crowds are mixed and chatty. You’ll see birthday crews in matching sunglasses beside couples who’ve planned this day for months, plus seasoned island regulars who know when to arrive for the best bed, the kindest sun, and the moment the DJ nudges the tempo. Dress codes are a rumor, swimwear, linen, and sandals rule, and so is the vibe: approachable, playful, a little glamorous if you want it to be. It’s as much about the scene (friends, photos, sea swims) as the set.



Boat parties spin a parallel story: decks become dancefloors, the horizon is the LED wall, and sunset is the headliner. These cruises are social accelerators, mixing beach-day ease with a pre-club pulse. They’re often the first stitch in a bigger day-to-night plan.





Importantly, day events set their own boundaries. Most wrap around sunset or shortly after; even the biggest open-air shows respect neighborhood rules and pre-midnight cutoffs. That containment makes daytime surprisingly sustainable: you can go hard for six sunlit hours and still reset for dinner or, if you’re game, for the night to come.



Night: the high-voltage main event



If day is a smile, night is a full-body exhale. Ibiza after dark is a precision machine: doors open late, peak hours crest after 2 a.m., and the production detail borders on theatrical - laser architecture, bespoke visuals, confetti weather systems, dancers, moving ceilings, sound systems tuned like grand pianos. This is where residencies and party brands flex identities week after week: underground temples of house and techno, big-room EDM spectacles, disco-forward glamour nights, trance sanctuaries, Afro-house odysseys, and Latin-leaning takeovers.





The music is louder, deeper, and designed for immersion. You don’t talk over it; you surrender into it. Sets build patiently, teasing tension until the drop lands and a few thousand people erupt as one. The crowd is global and purpose-built: first-timers wide-eyed at the scale, lifers chasing the perfect sunrise moment, friends reunited on the dancefloor. Fashion gets a glow-up - heels and sequins in VIP, leather and mesh, streetwear with intention…though the underground keeps it simple: trainers, black tees, a head for the groove.



Nights can be linear (one club, open to close) or modular: sunset bar → dinner → pre-party → superclub → afters. The island rewards both strategies. What’s consistent is the escalation. Where day encourages conversation, night prioritizes communion - those time-stopping, goosebump drops that make you hug a stranger and mean it.





Two energies, one ecosystem



It’s tempting to treat day and night as rivals. In reality, they’re relay partners. Day gets you social, warmed up, and woven into mini-communities, whereas night cashes in: a familiar face on the terrace at 3:17 a.m. can feel like fate. Conversely, the morning after a club marathon, the day realm becomes triage and therapy - sea swims, soft beats, shade, and stories.



They also trade ideas. Day parties have scaled up their production and bookings, blurring lines with festival-level shows that end before midnight. Nightlife, in turn, has diversified its sound palette and spaces, from glitter-and-disco showcases to intimate rooms dedicated to slower, deeper flavors. The result is choice. On any given 24 hours, you can sequence your perfect arc: euphoric poolside singalongs, a gastronomic pre-party with a downtempo soundtrack, then an all-gas main room until the lights bloom back to day.



Practicalities: how to do both well

Plan arcs, not hours. Stack your day so you can either crescendo into night or end content at sunset. Book tables or tickets early in peak months; the best options sell out.

Respect the cutoffs. Open-air shows end earlier - make that constraint a feature. Sunset exits are cinematic and leave room for dinner or a disco nap.

Dress for the realm. Day = comfort, SPF, swim-friendly. Night = expression, but shoes you can actually dance in. Carry earplugs; future-you will be grateful.

Mind the body. The island rewards balance: water, shade, sleep, and a proper meal can be the difference between a good night and a legendary one.



So…which is better?





Wrong question. Day is the invitation; night is the answer. Day teaches you the island’s contours - the color of the water at 5 p.m., the way a sax solo chases a seabreeze, the faces you’ll recognize later. Night teaches you its pulse - the communal roar when a classic drops, the terrace at dawn, the hush that follows the final chord. The magic of Ibiza isn’t choosing one; it’s learning how they complete each other.



If you only do days, you’ll miss the electricity. If you only do nights, you’ll miss the soul. Do both, thoughtfully, and you’ll understand why Ibiza isn’t just a place that parties; it’s a place that knows how.

Day vs. Night: Understanding Ibiza’s Two Party Realms

Music isn’t just something humans invented for pleasure — it’s woven into who we are. In a Big Think video, musicologist Michael Spitzer, professor of music at the University of Liverpool and author of The Musical Human, unpacks why music has been part of us for millions of years and how it molds the brain, body, and our emotional lives.

Spitzer — who leads Liverpool’s department of classical music and is known for his work on Beethoven, aesthetics, and music and emotion — frames music not as a cultural add-on, but as something that emerged from our earliest movements as a species. “Humans have been making and learning to recognize music from the moment our species learned to walk on two legs,” he says. Walking gave early humans a predictable beat, and with it, a sense of time and pattern that still underlies how we experience rhythm today.



Music and Mental Health Go Hand in Hand

One of Spitzer’s strongest points is that music isn’t just entertainment — it’s a tool for survival and mental well-being. “The biggest draw to mental health is loneliness,” he says. “Music can bring people together. You don’t have to actively make music with somebody else — just to listen to music plugs you into a social network, because every notion of music is social. It’s formed of social conventions.”



Listening doesn’t just connect you to others; it also has measurable effects on the body. “Music lowers stress by reducing cortisol,” Spitzer explains. “It gives you pleasure, makes you happy by flooding the brain with neurotransmitters like dopamine.” He adds that music helps tag memories, express identity, and process feelings “too precise for words.”



Interestingly, Spitzer warns against thinking of music as mere relaxation: “The word relaxation gives a sense of passivity, whereas to listen is a very active and creative activity.” True listening, he suggests, is closer to mindfulness — an act of deep engagement rather than background noise.

Why Rhythm and Emotion Feel So Instinctive

Humans are wired to imitate and feel what we hear. Spitzer points to mirror neurons — brain cells that fire when we see or hear an action. “When the brain sees an action, you don’t have to move to experience that motion in your brain,” he says. “Mirror neurons are responding sympathetically. We’ve always had an instinctive faculty to imitate. We call it mimesis.”



That explains why yawns are contagious — and why emotions in music are, too. “When I hear a sad song, my body, my mirror neurons, are instinctively sympathizing, are mirroring the sadness of the song,” Spitzer says. Not only does music represent feelings, it also physically pulls us into them.

He also connects this to the way emotions evolved for survival. Happiness signals reaching a goal. Anger appears when a goal is blocked. Sadness follows loss. Fear prepares us to freeze, fight, or flee. Music taps directly into these circuits, which is why some songs hit so hard they cause chills — or frisson. 





“There are moments in music which are so intense… you have the same parts of the brain which respond to that as respond to fear,” Spitzer explains. That’s why goosebumps rise when a song suddenly swells — it’s fear’s wiring, but in a safe space.

The Brain’s Music Network

Underneath these emotional responses is a fascinating neural map. Spitzer notes that the brainstem — our most ancient layer — reacts reflexively to sudden sounds, while the basal ganglia judge whether what we’re hearing feels pleasant or unpleasant. The amygdala handles core emotions like fear, sadness, anger, and happiness. 

At the top, the neocortex processes patterns and complexity — the reason we can appreciate a fugue, follow a jazz solo, or predict a beat drop. Together, these regions show why music reaches us at every level: from instinct and survival to intellectual and emotional depth.



Spitzer’s video is a reminder that music is a part of our biology and psychology. From the first hominin footsteps to today’s streaming playlists, music has been a way for humans to connect — to each other, to memory, and to emotion itself.



For anyone who’s ever felt a song lift their mood, bring back a vivid memory, or cause goosebumps out of nowhere, Spitzer’s insights explain why: music is movement, memory, and meaning combined. It’s not simply entertainment — it’s something deeply human.

This Week’s Parties in Ibiza (October 2 - 8)

For over a decade, Boiler Room has been bringing underground dance culture into living rooms around the world. Their cameras have captured everything from sweaty basements in Berlin to rooftops in Tokyo. But when it comes to sheer magic, few places compare to Ibiza. The White Isle, long regarded as the epicenter of electronic music, has provided some of the most unforgettable Boiler Room broadcasts ever. From intimate villa parties to legendary club takeovers, these sets have become part of Ibiza folklore.

Here’s a journey through the best Boiler Room moments to ever happen on the island.

Jamie Jones & Friends: The Paradise Villa (2013)

The first Boiler Room in Ibiza set the tone in true Balearic fashion. Instead of choosing one of the island’s massive superclubs, Jamie Jones invited Boiler Room to a sun-drenched villa party tied to his Paradise series. The result? Pure magic.

Joined by Richy Ahmed and Dyed Soundorom, Jamie crafted a sunset soundtrack of deep, rolling house grooves. Fans pressed shoulder-to-shoulder around the booth while others swayed poolside. At one point, Jamie went back-to-back with Dyed Soundorom, dropping immaculate house cuts that had the whole crowd shouting. For many fa

ns, this was their first taste of Boiler Room’s “Ibiza style” - a mix of intimacy, sunshine, and serious tunes.

Richie Hawtin & Friends: ENTER. Pool Party (2013)

A day later, Boiler Room shifted gears with Richie Hawtin’s ENTER. pool party. Held at his villa, the session featured Nina Kraviz, Azari & III, and an unforgettable set from Grimes.

Grimes’ performance is the stuff of Boiler Room legend. Instead of sticking to the techno script, she dropped a mix of Mariah Carey, Vengaboys, and Daddy Yankee’s Gasolina - straight from her iTunes library. The live chat exploded, purists cried blasphemy, but the crowd laughed, danced, and sang along. It was chaotic, fun, and completely unfiltered, exactly what Boiler Room is about. Hawtin closed the day with his trademark hypnotic techno, but it was Grimes who walked away as the unlikely star of the show.



Carl Cox & Friends: Villa Takeover (2013)

If one DJ defines Ibiza, it’s Carl Cox. So when Boiler Room set up at his villa, the energy was always going to be next level. The lineup included Nicole Moudaber, Yousef, and Uto Karem, but the highlight was Carl himself.

His set was a condensed masterclass in house and techno history. Opening with X-Press 2’s Muzik Xpress and weaving in New Order’s Blue Monday, Carl had the crowd screaming “Oh yes, oh yes!” before the drop. The intimate setting meant fans were part of the performance, dancing inches away from one of the greatest DJs of all time. For anyone who’s ever dreamed of being at a Carl Cox afterparty, this was the closest it gets.



Balearic Heritage with DJ Alfredo (2014)

Boiler Room’s Ibiza sessions weren’t only about modern club heroes. In 2014, they paid tribute to the roots of Balearic culture with a rooftop gathering featuring DJ Alfredo, Leo Mas, Paul “Apiento” Byrne, and Kelvin Andrews.

DJ Alfredo, often called the godfather of Ibiza, delivered a set that spanned decades of Balearic gems - sun-soaked disco, early house, and left-field oddities that once defined Amnesia’s terrace in the ’80s. At one point, he dropped Sueño Latino and the entire rooftop erupted in nostalgia. The set was a history lesson - a reminder that Ibiza’s spirit was built on eclecticism and open-mindedness.

Jamie Jones B2B The Martinez Brothers (2014)

One year later, Jamie Jones returned, this time teaming up with The Martinez Brothers. What unfolded has since been dubbed one of Boiler Room’s “instant classics.”

The trio went back-to-back-to-back, delivering a high-energy blend of house and techno. When they teased Green Velvet’s Bigger Than Prince, cutting the volume just before the drop, the crowd sang the hook at full volume before the beat slammed back in. Chris Martinez hyped the crowd on the mic while Jamie and Steve held down the mix. It was chaotic, sweaty, and joyous - a perfect encapsulation of what happens when you put three party-starters in one booth.

Maceo Plex: Secret Location Session (2015)

In 2015, Maceo Plex gave Boiler Room a call. The result was one of their most mysterious and memorable streams: a secret location in Ibiza that had never hosted a party before.

With his Ellum label crew in tow, Maceo turned the underground space into a cosmic techno haven. Dropping tracks from his forthcoming Solar album alongside crowd favorites like Solitary Daze, he delivered a deep, melodic journey that had the tight-knit crowd entranced. The secrecy of the venue added to the magic - viewers knew they were witnessing something unique, a one-off that could never be repeated.



Elrow x Boiler Room: Carnival Chaos (2016)

When Boiler Room teamed up with Elrow, chaos was guaranteed. Hosted at Pikes Hotel, this was less a DJ set and more a carnival.

Eats Everything stole the show with a party-starting set that included a cheeky bootleg of Fatboy Slim’s Praise You, which turned the terrace into a sing-along. Confetti rained down, inflatable toys bounced across the dancefloor, and Elrow’s costumed performers danced alongside the DJs. If Boiler Room is usually known for its cool, underground vibe, this was the polar opposite - a technicolor explosion of pure fun.



IMS Opening at Pacha (2019)

In 2019, Boiler Room returned to Ibiza in style, broadcasting from Pacha during the International Music Summit (IMS). The lineup was stacked with forward-thinking artists: John Talabot, HAAi, Karima F, IDA, and Nastia B2B Daria Kolosova.

The standout was Nastia and Daria’s furious back-to-back techno set. Pacha’s glamorous dancefloor shook to pounding beats not usually heard in its walls, while Talabot closed the night with a genre-blurring journey that nodded to Balearic traditions. It was a night that showed Boiler Room wasn’t just about villas anymore - it was ready to tackle Ibiza’s biggest clubs.

DC-10 Takeover (2019)

Boiler Room in DC-10. It finally happened in 2019, curated by none other than Seth Troxler. The lineup was a who’s who of underground tastemakers: Carista, Dr. Rubinstein, Willow, nd_baumecker B2B Roi Perez, Chris Korda, and more.

Dr. Rubinstein delivered an acid-heavy assault that had the Terrace pulsing, while Willow took the crowd into deep, dubby territory as dawn broke. Seth himself closed with a vinyl-only set of Chicago house classics, dropping Lil’ Louis’ French Kiss as the sun rose. For many, this night was the perfect fusion of Boiler Room’s ethos and DC-10’s legendary atmosphere.



Major League DJz: Amapiano on the Beach (2022)

Fast-forward to 2022, and Boiler Room introduced something entirely new to Ibiza: Amapiano. South Africa’s Major League DJz brought their sound to a beachside setting at Playa S’Estanyol, alongside Charisse C and Ade Smilez.

As the sun set, the duo’s rolling log drums and melodic piano riffs created a euphoric vibe unlike anything else on the island. Locals and off-season workers danced barefoot in the sand, sipping cocktails, and vibing to a genre making its global breakthrough. It was a beautiful reminder that Ibiza is always evolving.



Charli XCX’s PARTYGIRL at Amnesia (2024)

One of the most recent one-off Ibiza Boiler Room’s before their residency in 2025 may also be one of its most talked about. In summer 2024, Charli XCX brought her PARTYGIRL concept to Amnesia, turning the superclub into a nostalgic, hyperpop-meets-rave playground.

Her set was a rollercoaster of millennial anthems: trance classics, Y2K pop, happy hardcore, and edits of her own hits like Unlock It. The crowd screamed along, confetti blasted, and social media the next day was flooded with clips of fans losing it to remixed Kelly Clarkson and Spice Girls. It was proof that Boiler Room can still reinvent itself while staying true to its anything-goes ethos.



The Legacy of Boiler Room in Ibiza

From villas and rooftops to beaches and superclubs, Boiler Room has shown Ibiza from every angle. These sets are more than just parties captured on camera - they’re cultural snapshots of the island’s ever-changing sound.

And if history tells us anything, the next Boiler Room in Ibiza will be just as unforgettable.

The Best Boiler Room Sets Ever Filmed in Ibiza

Manda Moor has been on a serious rise these past few years, and if you’ve been paying attention to house music, you’ve definitely felt her presence. The Danish-Filipino DJ and producer has built a name for herself with percussion-forward sets, standout releases on labels like Hot Creations, Kaluki, and Tamango, and a growing reputation for doing things her own way. But what’s really set her apart is Mood Child—the label and party brand she co-founded with French DJ Sirus Hood.

Originally from France, Sirus has built a career rooted in raw, funk-laced sounds, with releases on respected labels like Armada Music, Rawthentic, and Cuttin' Headz. Applauded for his global tour schedule and residencies at venues like Sankeys Ibiza, Eden Ibiza, and Ministry of Sound London, he’s been recognized for putting on incredible sets.



Their Bandcamp project, Mood Edits, takes a different angle from the usual label output—offering limited-edition track edits that are only available for a short time before being replaced. It’s a direct response to the overload of digital availability in music today, and the series has been supported by the likes of The Martinez Brothers and Loco Dice.

In this interview, Manda and Sirus share a more personal side of their lives—on and off the stage. Manda talks about how her cultural background shows up in her music, the habits that keep her steady, and what it felt like to hear one of her early tracks played by a legend she looked up to. Sirus gets into how he works in the studio, what matters most to him when building a track, and why having a quiet space is non-negotiable. They also touch on the cities that mean the most to them, what they listen to when they want to reset, and the small things that keep them grounded. It’s an honest look at two people who care about what they’re doing—and are figuring it out on their own terms.





What’s one thing most people don’t know about you?

What’s your favorite non-music-related hobby?
Manda: Tennis.
Sirus: Boat driving.



If you could time travel to any era of music history, when would it be and why?
Manda: The 2010s, because it was the golden era of clubbing and electronic music.
Sirus: The ’80s, to witness the birth of house music.



What’s a record that never leaves your crate or USB?
Manda: Sirus Hood & Reboot – Believe.
Sirus: Ghetto Corazon (with Trangaz).





If you weren’t touring or in the studio, where would we find you?
Manda: Drinking from a coconut in Thailand.
Sirus: In a heated pool.



What’s a fun fact or hidden talent that has nothing to do with music?
Manda: I'm a huge geek, and I have a strong gut feeling.
Sirus: I’m a great advisor and critic.



What is something simple that makes you smile?
Manda: My cats.
Sirus: Annoying Manda.



What’s a memory you never want to let go of?

Sirus: I don’t remember.



When do you feel most at peace?

Sirus: Finding the magic.



What’s your favorite set time and duration?

Sirus: Sunset, minimum 3 hours. Longer if the vibe, environment, and sound quality are good.



If you could abolish one genre of music forever, what would it be?
Manda: TikTok Techno.
Sirus: Big Room EDM.

This Week’s Parties in Ibiza (September 25 - October 1)

Every island has a legend; Ibiza has Manumission. Not just a club night but a sprawling, high-camp, high-stakes piece of nightlife theatre, Manumission took the anything-goes spirit of the White Isle and bottle-rocketed it into orbit. From its ragged birth in Manchester in 1994 to its 14-summer reign at Privilege, it redefined what a party could be: part circus, part rock opera, part fever dream, and wholly unforgettable.



It started small and stubborn. Brothers Andy and Mike McKay launched Manumission in Manchester’s Gay Village with a simple heresy: clubbing should be a playground for everyone - gay, straight, freak, chic - so long as you contributed to the spectacle. Early nights mixed drag, pranks, and a punk sense of mischief. When escalating local trouble made it unsustainable, the crew did what great rabble-rousers do: they took the show on the road, landing in Ibiza and moving into the Coco Loco room at Ku (soon to be Privilege). Demand exploded. Within weeks Manumission jumped from side-room curiosity to main-stage juggernaut - and never looked back.





The quartet at its core gave the party its split personality. Mike and Claire (the lovers, performers, holy agents of chaos) met the cool-headed production brains of Andy and Dawn (organisers, vision-setters, ringmasters). Together they built a universe. Mondays became a pilgrimage: 8,000, sometimes 10,000 people filing into the world’s largest club, a cathedral of steel and light with a swimming pool beneath the DJ booth and rafters tall enough to hang a dream from.



Calling Manumission a “night” misses the point. It was a narrative, a pageant, a weekly myth with a fresh chapter every season. Themes were not decoration, they were scaffolding. One summer, a noir “Murder at the Manumission Motel.” Another, a nautical fever dream, “The Good Ship Manumission,” with mermaids and pirates swinging from the ceiling. A long red curtain could drop and suddenly Privilege wasn’t a club at all but a stage where acrobats fell from heaven, dwarfs marched in formation, and a man dressed as a television interviewed the front row. You might be handed a mysterious key and spend hours searching for the lock (spoiler: there wasn’t one). At dawn, you might be given cornflakes. At any time, you could be drafted into the show.





Then there was the scandal that sealed the legend: the live sex shows by the pool, running through the late ’90s. In a scene already built on transgression, Manumission shoved the line further - explicit, brazen, impossible to ignore. It was outrageous, yes; it was also symbolic. The point wasn’t just shock. It was permission. The party’s very name means “release from slavery”: from routine, shame, rules that say dance here, don’t do that, look this way. In a culture that sells rebellion in polished bottles, Manumission’s taboo-busting delivered the genuine article…raw, risky, sometimes ridiculous, always alive.





If the club was the temple, the Manumission Motel was the backroom gospel. A short, incandescent life in 1998, it was a derelict pink-limned roadside motel reborn as a 24/7 after-hours commune. Strippers from New York, burlesque fire-breathers, novelists, rock stars, DJs who came for a night and vanished for days. Press banned, rumours rampant, a revolving door of beautiful chaos. It functioned as the party’s engine room: relationships formed, ideas pitched at 7 a.m. on a waterbed became next week’s show. Like all supernovas, it burned too hot to last, but for one summer the island’s most whispered address wasn’t a beach or a booth; it was a neon motel by a roundabout.





Musically, Manumission zigged where others zagged. It didn’t hang the night on marquee DJ lineups; the party was the headliner. Yet the biggest names passed through anyway - often unannounced - because who wouldn’t want to play to a sea of thousands beneath a flying trapeze? Big-beat heroes, house dons, electroclash provocateurs, even indie bands took the stage. The sound was Balearic in the truest sense: promiscuous with genres, allergic to purism, engineered for moments not name-checks. A euphoric hands-in-the-air classic hit differently when a drum troupe thundered through the crowd or a giant egg cracked open on stage. Music didn’t dominate the story; it scored it.



Scale made the impossible possible. Privilege wasn’t a club so much as an aircraft hangar with lasers. Manumission used every inch. Over 400 staff and performers on peak weeks. Parade buses drumming through town at sunset, luring civilians into the narrative hours before the doors opened. Stage designer royalty dreaming up sets that should have been illegal to attempt on a Monday. It was maximalism with intent: a vote for wonder over minimal cool. Where other nights offered a dance floor, Manumission offered a world.



And, of course, controversy. Police warnings. Tabloids howling. A BBC presenter famously partying so hard she missed her show. Sponsors arriving in the 2000s and the explicit dawn shows bowing out, to cries of both relief and sacrilege. Then the dramatic rupture: a bruising dispute with Privilege’s owner that literally saw chains on the doors one night, and a last stand at Amnesia before the curtain fell in 2008. It ended as it lived - messy, noisy, never boring.

So why, among Ibiza’s pantheon, including Space closings, Circoloco’s airport-hangar delirium, Amnesia’s foam, Pacha’s glamour, does Manumission sit alone on the most notorious throne?

First, permission. Manumission didn’t just allow eccentricity; it required it. It made participants out of punters. It told 10,000 strangers, “Be ridiculous with us,” and then gave them the toys, the stage, the plot.

Second, theatre. Other nights do production; Manumission did dramaturgy. A party that remembered to arc, to call back, to surprise - not with one “drop” but with dozens of cues that made your night feel authored.

Third, scale. Ideas that would be laughable in a 1,500-cap room became jaw-dropping at 10,000. A pirate ship set, a human TV, an aerial ballet and more. These read as doodles until you see them carried by a stadium’s worth of energy.

Fourth, myth. The Motel, the sex shows, the parade, the sackings, the wedding on stage, the door chained shut. Each a perfect anecdote, together a folklore. Even people who never went can tell a Manumission story. That’s cultural penetration.

Finally, timing. The ’90s were a hinge: post–acid house openness colliding with pre-smartphone mystery. Manumission exploited that sweet spot. No endless phones in the air, no algorithm washing the rough edges. The only record of the wildest thing you saw was your heart racing.

When Manumission bowed out, Ibiza pivoted. VIP ropes tightened, brand activations got slicker, production values marched upward even as the sense of danger ebbed. Great nights remained (and remain), but that lawless carnival energy and the sense that you were stepping into a sandbox where reality took the night off became rarer. Manumission’s legacy is visible everywhere from confetti-drenched mega-parties to immersive festival stages, but its soul is harder to clone. You can mimic the props; you can’t fake the permission.

In the end, “wildest” isn’t just about nudity or numbers. It’s about how far a party lets you travel from your ordinary self and how skillfully it builds a world sturdy enough to carry you there. On that measure, Manumission wasn’t just the wildest party Ibiza has seen; it was clubland’s great escape hatch, a weekly jailbreak into wonder. Mondays have never felt so free.

What Made Manumission the Wildest Party Ibiza’s Ever Seen?

Sanvero, the Italian–Chilean DJ and producer duo based in New York City, have become a name to watch in the music scene. What started as playing for friends has grown into performances at major festivals like Elements and We Belong Here, as well as their Brooklyn Mirage debut a couple years ago. Their sound blends Afro and Indie House with influences from Latin America and Europe, often weaving traditional instruments into modern productions. 



With releases on Café de Anatolia, Lush Sunday, Moon Din Records, and Rhytmica, and support from Hernán Cattáneo, Guy Mantzur, Emi Galvan, and Cristoph, their tracks have reached global stages from Hï Ibiza to Warung Beach Club. In this interview, Sanvero share their inspirations, favorite tracks, and stories that show the personalities behind the music.



Who’s an artist that inspires you right now?


Tough question! There are so many good artists in the scene with such unique production, so it’s always difficult to pick. Top of mind recently are Ezequiel Arias and Kamilo Sanclemente on the more progressive side, while we love what Max Styler and the Maccabi House crew have been doing on the more indie/electro side. We also have to mention Chris Stussy and Josh Baker, as they’ve blown us away at their shows recently.

What’s a track you play when you want to get the crowd hyped?


Symphony by Eynka has been a true peak-time weapon for us this year.

What’s your go-to snack or drink before a show?


You can’t go wrong with some Welch’s Fruit Snacks.



What’s your favorite city to play in, and why?


It has to be New York — the energy is just unmatched.

How would you describe your sound in three words?


Euphoric, sexy, energetic.



If you weren’t a DJ/Producer, what would you be?


Nico actually works as a movie director/producer during the day. Cesco comes from an olive oil family in Italy, so he might’ve been a farmer.



What’s something normal to you that other people find weird?


We actually disagree about this between the two of us, so we’ve been taking to Instagram to ask our followers. Turns out everyone else is in disagreement as well. The last poll we ran asked people whether they brush their teeth before or after breakfast, and it was almost a 50/50 split.



If you could collaborate with any artist, dead or alive, who would it be?


Led Zeppelin. We’d just have to figure out a way to make it house.



If you could time travel to any era of music history, when would it be and why?


We’re a bit conflicted on this one, but probably the 70s/80s — the golden age of classic rock and the dawn of disco and electronic music.



What’s a fun fact or hidden talent that has nothing to do with music?


Nico is a CrossFit beast, while Cesco has a weirdly photographic memory — ask him the jersey number for any NFL player and he’ll remember.



What is your favorite set time and duration?


Starting during sunset and ending later at night. Some of our favorite sets have been seven-hour marathon ones. We like to play a lot of different sub-genres, and longer sets like that really give us the space to explore different sonic places.

This Week’s Parties in Ibiza (September 18 - 24)

If Part 1 of our guide was about the build-up - residencies signing off, September energy peaking, and early October madness - then Part 2 is about the final sprint to the finish line. These last two weeks of the Ibiza season are legendary: when clubs pull out their most ambitious lineups, DJs play marathon sets, and the atmosphere mixes euphoria with bittersweet goodbyes.



Ibiza never goes quietly. The island saves some of its biggest surprises, longest sessions, and most emotional moments for the very end. From marathon techno at Amnesia to Pacha’s dual grand closing, from The Trilogy’s festival-scale finale to Circoloco’s Monday madness, here’s how Ibiza 2025 says farewell.


Amnesia - The Marathon Closing Festival





When you talk about Ibiza closings, Amnesia is always at the heart of the conversation. This year, the club is doubling down on its reputation with a two-day Amnesia Closing Festival on October 10 and 11.



Described as “two intense days where music and energy speak louder than ever – night & day, day & night”, the festival is essentially a 48-hour love letter to house and techno. The first wave of the lineup already reads like a who’s who of electronic royalty: Amelie Lens, Nina Kraviz, Honey Dijon, Deborah De Luca, Marco Faraone, Joris Voorn, East End Dubs, Andres Campo, and many more. And as always with Amnesia, you can expect surprise guests added last minute.



What makes this so iconic isn’t just the names, but the setting. The Main Room delivers pounding techno until your bones rattle, while the Terrace is where magic really happens. There’s nothing like that sunrise moment, when daylight pours in, and thousands of tired-yet-blissful ravers cheer in unison. For many, this is the single most unforgettable experience of Ibiza closings.



Amnesia’s Closing Festival is for the hardcore: prepare for long hours, multiple dance floors, and the kind of stamina-testing session that proves why Ibiza is the world capital of electronic music.



Pacha - A Grand Finale in Two Parts





Pacha Ibiza is wrapping up its season with not one, but two nights of grand closing celebrations. It’s a fitting end for the island’s oldest superclub, which continues to balance its glamorous legacy with forward-thinking bookings.



First up is Grand Closing Part 1 on Saturday, Oct 11, headlined by Australian giants Rüfüs Du Sol, who will be delivering a special DJ set. Known for their emotive live shows, this format lets them dive deep into their influences - melodic house, indie electronica, and festival-ready anthems - all reimagined for the Pacha dancefloor. It’s set to be a goosebumps night, bridging the line between euphoric and intimate.



Then comes Grand Closing Part 2 on Sunday, Oct 12, with house icon Roger Sanchez returning to the booth. A true Pacha favorite, Roger has been part of the island’s story for decades, and his extended house set is the perfect nod to the club’s roots. Adding balance to the bill, techno powerhouse Paco Osuna joins in, creating a crossover of soulful house and driving underground beats.



Combined, these two nights tell the story of Pacha: one night looking forward with global superstars, and the next honoring the roots of house and the enduring power of a veteran behind the decks.



The Trilogy - Ushuaïa, Hï & UNVRS Join Forces

For the first time in Ibiza history, three of the island’s superclubs have teamed up to create a single closing weekend concept: The Trilogy. Curated by The Night League (the team behind all three venues), this is arguably the most ambitious closing experiment ever staged.

Day 1 - Oct 11 (Ushuaïa): The open-air extravaganza features Eric Prydz, Adam Beyer B2B Chris Avantgarde, Paul Kalkbrenner (live), and Franky Wah. Expect Prydz’s cinematic visuals and Kalkbrenner’s live energy under the Balearic sky.

Night 1 - Oct 11 (Hï Ibiza): Once Ushuaïa winds down, the action moves across the road. Highlights include Jamie Jones B2B Joseph Capriati, Damian Lazarus, Indira Paganotto, and TSHA. From tech-house to pounding techno to melodic bliss, this lineup covers the spectrum.

Day 2 - Oct 12 (UNVRS): The finale of the trilogy unfolds at Ibiza’s new hyperclub, UNVRS. The lineup is jaw-dropping: Anyma (live), Peggy Gou, Black Coffee, ANOTR, Rampa, and Vintage Culture. It’s the perfect mix of melodic techno, Afro-house, stylish grooves, and festival-scale performances.

Together, these three events form a two-day festival across three venues, essentially uniting Ibiza’s present and future in one closing statement. If you want to see the island making history, this is the weekend.



DC10 - Circoloco’s Last Stand





And then, there’s DC10. For many, the true end of the season isn’t the glitzy spectacle of Trilogy or the polished production of Amnesia - it’s the raw, sweaty chaos of Circoloco Closing.



On Monday, Oct 13, the infamous hangar by the airport runway hosts one of the most anticipated parties of the year. Circoloco has been running every Monday since May, bringing together a who’s who of underground house and techno: Seth Troxler, The Martinez Brothers, Peggy Gou, Amelie Lens, Dixon, and more. Its closing night is traditionally an all-day, all-night affair, kicking off in the early evening and pushing deep into Tuesday morning.



What makes Circoloco special is its no-frills philosophy. There are no pyrotechnics, no LED mega-screens, no gimmicks. Just a dark room, a packed terrace, and the best DJs in the world playing for a crowd that lives for the underground. The Circoloco closing is often emotional - it’s the last big gathering of Ibiza workers, residents, and hardcore fans, and when the final track drops, it feels like the island is collectively exhaling after five months of madness.



If Amnesia’s festival is the spectacle and Pacha’s closing is the celebration, Circoloco’s finale is the soul of Ibiza.



The End of the Season



By mid-October, the dust settles. Flights thin out, the beaches quieten, and the clubs start to shut their doors. But the energy of these closing weeks lingers long after the last track drops. Closing parties aren’t just about saying goodbye - they’re about celebrating the journey, thanking the fans, and sending everyone off into winter with enough memories to last until next summer.



And in 2025, Ibiza has outdone itself. With the introduction of UNVRS, the birth of The Trilogy, and the return of the island’s most iconic closings, this season’s finale is destined to be remembered as one of the greatest ever.



For those lucky enough to be there, savor every second. For those watching from afar, start planning: because there’s nowhere in the world like Ibiza in the closing season.

Ibiza Closing Parties (Part 2)

It’s that bittersweet time of year on the White Isle - the 2025 clubbing season is drawing to a close, but not before an explosive finale of closing parties. For the uninitiated, closing parties mark the end of a glorious summer season, bringing together clubs, DJs, and diehard clubbers for one last series of unforgettable events.



Most residencies run weekly throughout the summer, and when each one ends, it throws a closing party to bid farewell. After that, the clubs themselves host their own grand finales – often stretching across multiple days. Traditionally, most closings fall between mid-September and mid-October, effectively the island’s “last call” before attention shifts to events like ADE in Amsterdam. In 2025, the calendar is packed, and in this two-part guide we’ll highlight the unmissable events.



In Part 1, we’re focusing on key closing parties happening in September, with a blend of mainstream spectacles, underground marathons, and everything in between. Think of this as your warm-up to the huge finales coming later in October.


Hï Ibiza - Afro, Disco & Techno Heaven





Voted the world’s number one club yet again, Hï Ibiza never fails to deliver at closing time. Its residencies cover every corner of the electronic spectrum, and their finales always feel extra-special.



One of the crown jewels is Black Coffee’s Saturday night. Now in its eighth season, the South African superstar has made Afro-house the heartbeat of Ibiza. On Saturday, October 4, he plays his final set of the summer with an extended journey through deep, soulful grooves. He’ll be joined by genre-blending live act WhoMadeWho, plus support in the Club Room from Crosstown Rebels boss Damian Lazarus, who always adds a mystical, experimental edge. Expect immersive production, dazzling visuals, and one last Afro-house odyssey that feels like a rite of passage.



Glitterbox takes over on Sunday, October 5. Famous for its flamboyant performers and anthemic house and disco, this is Ibiza at its most joyful. Closing party highlights include disco pioneer Dimitri From Paris, house heroine Jayda G, Ibiza collective Melon Bomb, and plenty of special guests. It’s a night of pure positivity - one final chance to dance under the disco balls before Hï wraps up.



Hï’s other closings are equally unmissable. The Martinez Brothers finish their Tuesday residency on Sept 30, and on Oct 3, Joseph Capriati’s Metamorfosi wraps with a techno-heavy lineup - last year saw him joined by Indira Paganotto and Kobosil, and 2025 is shaping up just as strong. Together, these events make Hï’s final fortnight a non-stop showcase of electronic music’s biggest names.



Ushuaïa - EDM Titans & ANTS Takeover





Across the road, Ushuaïa Ibiza brings the big daytime energy. Known for jaw-dropping outdoor production and stadium-sized crowds, its closing parties span from EDM to underground house.



On the commercial side, heavyweights like Calvin Harris (closing Sept 12), Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike (Sept 24), and Martin Garrix (Sept 25) will finish their residencies with the kind of high-octane sets fans travel across the world for. Each closing is loaded with massive hits, sing-along moments, and plenty of pyro. Armin van Buuren’s residency also signs off on Sept 28, giving trance fans their final Balearic fix under the open sky.



But the jewel in Ushuaïa’s crown is ANTS, its in-house Saturday residency. This year’s METALWORKS theme has transformed the club into a dystopian playground of robotic ants, towering steel structures, and industrial-themed production. For the ANTS closing on Oct 4, the Colony is pulling together a monster lineup of B2B sets. Andrea Oliva joins Franky Wah for a driving house showcase, Chelina Manuhutu pairs with Mason Collective, Nic Fanciulli goes B2B with Joris Voorn, and Max Dean faces off with SOSA. Add in the high-tech staging and you have one of the most visually spectacular closings on the island.



If you only do one daytime closing party this year, ANTS should be top of the list.



Amnesia - Terrace Sunrises & Closing Festival





Few clubs embody the Ibiza spirit like Amnesia. Their residency closings are stacked, but the real magic comes in October.



On Sunday, Oct 5, the club’s flagship underground night Pyramid ends its season. Pyramid is all about marathon sets and a who’s who of techno and house. Past closings have seen names like Ricardo Villalobos, Luciano, and Nina Kraviz, and 2025 promises another roadblock lineup.



Then Amnesia saves the best for last with its two-day Closing Festival on Oct 10 and 11. The first wave of artists includes Amelie Lens, Nina Kraviz, Deborah De Luca, Honey Dijon, Marco Faraone, Joris Voorn, and more. It’s effectively a festival inside a club - two days, multiple rooms, and a non-stop flow of techno and house until way past sunrise. This is Amnesia at its most uncompromising, and a must for anyone who wants to experience the island’s raw, untamed energy one last time.



Pacha – Old Meets New





Over in Ibiza Town, Pacha continues to blend island heritage with forward-thinking bookings. The first week of October is stacked with back-to-back closings.



Defected signs off on Oct 2 with a lineup for true house heads: Masters At Work, Eats Everything, Low Steppa, and Sam Divine. For lovers of classic house grooves, this is as authentic as it gets.



The following days bring more variety. Flower Power closes Oct 4 with its trademark retro-disco vibe, this time boosted by Purple Disco Machine. On Oct 5, Solomun +1 reaches its finale, with Solomun playing an all-night-long set.



For fans of melodic house, CamelPhat’s final night on Oct 7 is essential, featuring a live set from techno wizard Stephan Bodzin. And Pacha’s week of closings rolls straight into Music On with Marco Carola on Oct 9–10, because who needs just one closing party? It’s a whirlwind stretch of parties that perfectly captures Pacha’s eclecticism.



DC10 - Raw & Underground





If you’re looking for pure, no-frills clubbing, DC10 is where you’ll find it. Two closings here stand out.



First up is Solid Grooves on Oct 2. Expect bass-heavy tech house from founders PAWSA and Michael Bibi’s crew, alongside friends like Dennis Cruz and ANOTR. It’s a Thursday night built for groove-hungry ravers who want to lose themselves in the warehouse atmosphere.



Then there’s the big one: Circoloco on Oct 13, one of the very last closings of the Ibiza calendar. This Monday marathon runs from early evening until deep into Tuesday morning, with an enormous lineup of underground stars. Seth Troxler, Peggy Gou, The Martinez Brothers, and many more usually appear – and the energy is unmatched. Circoloco’s closing is a rite of passage, and for many, it marks the true end of summer.



UNVRS - The Newcomer’s First Closing





2025 also marked the debut season of UNVRS, the futuristic club built on the site of the old Privilege. With residencies from Carl Cox, Eric Prydz, and FISHER, it’s already cemented itself as a major player.



Carl Cox’s closing on Sept 21 will be a techno masterclass, while FISHER ends his fun-filled Thursday sessions on Sept 25. But the real headline is the UNVRS Closing Party on Oct 12, part of the joint trilogy weekend with Ushuaïa and Hï. Featuring Anyma, Peggy Gou, Black Coffee, ANOTR, Vintage Culture, and more, it’s a genre-spanning, jaw-dropping lineup that signals the arrival of Ibiza’s new era.



From Afro-house journeys at Hï to daytime madness at Ushuaïa, marathon techno at Amnesia, and underground chaos at DC10, Ibiza’s September and early October closings in 2025 are looking unforgettable.



This is just Part 1. In our next article, we’ll dive into the final stretch of October, including Amnesia’s festival marathon, Pacha’s grand closing weekend, and Circoloco’s legendary last dance. Ibiza never goes quietly - and 2025’s closings prove once again why this island is the beating heart of global club culture.

This Week’s Parties in Ibiza (September 11 - 17)

German brothers Leo and Rafa Schmid, known collectively as TWO LANES, have established themselves as a live act that commands attention in the electronic music world. Hailing from Germany, the duo seamlessly combines classical piano, analog synths, and minimal electronic elements to create music that is precise, layered, and engaging. Their approach is experimental yet grounded: they follow ideas wherever they lead, blending acoustic and electronic sounds without a fixed formula.



With their new EP No Feeling Is Final out and their tour already underway, TWO LANES continue to expand their sonic palette, exploring contrasts, introspection, and subtle new textures. Their live performances are dynamic and ever-changing, often featuring tracks that exist only in the moment, giving each show a unique edge. 



From casual fan interactions at airports to refining tracks like “Evoke” late in the studio, their work reflects both careful craft and openness to spontaneity. Beyond music, the brothers draw inspiration from a wide range of experiences and creative pursuits, with Rafa drawn to painting and Leo to writing, highlighting the depth behind their artistic process.



In the following interview, TWO LANES share insights into their creative approach, the making of No Feeling Is Final, and glimpses into the humor, personalities, and brotherly dynamics that shape their work.



1. Your music often balances acoustic and electronic elements. How do you decide which ideas stay organic and which become electronic?



We don’t follow a fixed formula when combining acoustic instruments with electronic elements. If something inspires us, whether it’s a piano recording or an interesting effect, we simply follow where it leads. We try not to think in categories of how a sound was created. For us, creativity always comes first, not the equipment or a predefined plan.



2. Are there particular emotions or stories you wanted to capture in No Feeling Is Final that you feel are distinct from Duality or Innervision?



We first came across the phrase No Feeling Is Final at an exhibition, and it immediately stayed with us. Later we discovered that it originates from Rainer Maria Rilke’s Go to the Limits of Your Longing, which contains the lines: “Let everything happen to you: beauty and terror. Just keep going. No feeling is final.”



These words resonated deeply with us and became a guiding thread for the EP. With the EP, we tried to be more focused on contrasts and introspection. It embraces the idea that all states, whether joyful or painful, are transient and that movement and change are part of the creative process itself.



3. Performing live seems central to your process. How do you keep your shows feeling fresh for both longtime fans and new listeners?



Our live set is always changing. We love bringing in new ideas we are working on, and sometimes those tracks only exist in the live show. We like the idea that certain music can only be experienced in the moment, in the context of a concert.



4. Can you share a moment on tour—big or small—that surprised you or changed the way you think about your music?



Once, our hand luggage was pulled aside during security control at the airport, and the officer asked if we were musicians and what our band was called. While we were talking, he pulled out his phone and showed us some of our tracks he enjoys listening to. It was a really nice encounter.



5. Are there any unusual or unexpected sources of inspiration that influence your music—outside of classical or electronic genres?

It’s difficult to say how things from outside influence our music, because there is rarely a direct connection. Often it only becomes clear afterward: when listening to a finished record, memories of that time return—the place where we worked on the track, the music we were listening to, the books we were reading, or just the general mood we were in during that period of life.



6. Your June EP No Feeling Is Final introduced some new textures. Was there a track that challenged you more than the others during production?



For Evoke, we had a version pretty early on that was nearly finished. When we were wrapping up the EP, we wanted to dive back in and refine the version, which is a difficult process. Your ears are very used to that version, and every change feels intrusive. After some time, we managed to add elements the track definitely needed, like the string recording in the bridge.



7. How do you approach collaboration between the two of you when creative disagreements arise?



It depends. If we both have strong ideas we want to explore, we just try out both and see how we feel. Usually, things become clearer the next day.



8. If you weren’t making music, what kind of art or creative work do you think you’d be drawn to?



Rafa: Painting.
Leo: Writing.



9. Which of you is more likely to get lost in a city, and who’s the human GPS?



Leo is definitely the GPS of the duo.



10. If you could only use one instrument for the rest of your life, but it had to be something completely ridiculous, what would it be?



Nils Frahm once played the strings of a grand piano with toilet brushes as percussive objects. That might be something to explore.

This Week’s Parties in Ibiza (September 4-10)

Ibiza is home to some of the most famous clubs in the world, but many of its most photographed and iconic party settings exist outside the walls of the superclubs. From ruins in the hills to hippie gardens and seaside sunsets, the island has always thrived on unusual backdrops. These are the places that became legendary not just for the music but because they looked spectacular in photographs. Here are some of our favorites.



The Abandoned Festival Club: Ibiza’s Lost Superclub

In the hills near Sant Josep lies a ruin that has fascinated generations of ravers and photographers alike: Festival Club. When it opened in 1972, this sprawling amphitheater was billed as Ibiza’s first “superclub,” complete with restaurants, terraces, and mock bullfighting shows. For a brief moment, it was the future of nightlife.



But the oil crisis in 1973 devastated tourism, and within two years Festival Club was abandoned. Nature crept back, graffiti artists took over, and rave crews in the ’80s and ’90s used it for secret parties.



What makes Festival Club endure is its atmosphere. The crumbling arches daubed in neon spray paint, pine trees reclaiming the terraces, and the open sky above create a dramatic, post-apocalyptic backdrop. DJs like Maceo Plex have recorded atmospheric sets here, and countless photo shoots have turned the ruins into an unlikely cultural monument. In Ibiza’s visual story, Festival Club represents both the optimism of its early party industry and the rebelliousness of the underground.





Benimussa Park: From Zoo to Tribal Playground

Benimussa Park is perhaps Ibiza’s most surreal venue. Originally launched in the 1970s as Gala Night, a part-zoo and part-park, it was once fabled to keep seals and monkeys to entertain tourists. By the 1980s, it pivoted to outdoor events, but its defining moment came in 2007, when The Zoo Project took root.



The organizers decided to lean into the zoo theme: DJs performed inside the old seal pit, performers roamed in body paint and animal costumes, and the crowd became part of the spectacle. Photographs of ravers painted like tigers, dancing in the sun, quickly spread worldwide.



The venue’s layout added to the magic: the terraced arena, a leafy Mandala Garden for healing spaces, and hidden corners decorated with surreal art installations. It blurred the line between festival and club night, creating an atmosphere that felt tribal, immersive, and distinctly photogenic. Over more than 15 summers, The Zoo Project turned Benimussa Park into one of Ibiza’s most unforgettable and visually unique party locations.



Now, you’ll know the venue as 528 Ibiza, where some of the most talked about events of 2025 are taking place.





Pikes Hotel: Rock ’n’ Roll Mythology

Few places embody the decadent mythology of Ibiza like Pikes Hotel. Founded in 1978 by Tony Pike, the finca-style hotel became a refuge for rock stars and celebrities during the island’s freewheeling 1980s. Its aquamarine pool achieved instant fame when Wham! filmed their “Club Tropicana” video there in 1983, sealing the location in pop culture history.



Then came Freddie Mercury’s 41st birthday in 1987 - a party so excessive it still defines Ibiza’s legend of indulgence. Stories of dwarfs carrying cakes, champagne flowing endlessly, and a guest list of icons became the stuff of folklore. Photographs of George Michael by the pool or Freddie’s entourage celebrating at Pikes helped spread its reputation far beyond the island.



Today, Pikes carefully preserves this rock ’n’ roll heritage. Freddie’s old suite is now a nightclub called “Freddie’s,” where the spirit of its golden era still flickers. Its kitschy interiors, mural-covered walls, and infamous poolside remain among the island’s most photographed spots (even though today it has a no-filming policy).





Dalt Vila: Dancing on Ancient Walls

Ibiza’s Old Town, Dalt Vila, is a UNESCO World Heritage site of cobblestone streets and fortress walls. For most of the year, it’s a place for quiet evening strolls and history tours. But during the International Music Summit (IMS) Finale, it transforms into one of the most breathtaking party venues in the world.



Since 2008, DJs like Pete Tong and Fatboy Slim have played against a backdrop of medieval ramparts, with panoramic views of the marina and cathedral lit up at night. The juxtaposition of cutting-edge electronic music against 16th-century stone is dramatic, and every photograph captures that sense of contrast.



Part of the magic lies in its rarity: as a protected site, Dalt Vila hosts only a handful of events each year. That exclusivity makes the IMS Finale feel like a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and images of crowds dancing under the stars within ancient walls are some of Ibiza’s most powerful cultural exports.





The Sunset Strip: Café del Mar and Café Mambo

If Ibiza has a daily ritual, it’s the sunset at San Antonio’s Sunset Strip. Since Café del Mar opened in 1980, visitors have gathered to watch the sun melt into the Mediterranean while ambient music provides the soundtrack. When José Padilla began his sunset DJ sets in the early ’90s, it gave rise to the Café del Mar compilation albums, which sold millions and spread the Balearic sound worldwide.



In 1994, Café Mambo added a new dimension: pre-parties with international DJs and a more upbeat soundtrack. In 1995, BBC Radio 1 began broadcasting live from Mambo’s terrace, turning it into a global stage. Suddenly, images of superstar DJs framed against glowing skies and cheering crowds were beamed across the world.



The Sunset Strip’s visual power lies in its simplicity: the natural beauty of Ibiza’s west coast fused with music and community. Thousands of tourists still gather each evening to clap the sun below the horizon, keeping this ritual alive and endlessly photographed.





Las Dalias: The Heart of Ibiza’s Hippie Spirit

Las Dalias is a living piece of Ibiza’s countercultural soul. Founded as a bar in the 1950s and transformed into a hippie market in the 1980s, it quickly became a hub for creativity and free-spirited living.



By night, Las Dalias takes on an entirely different energy. The Namaste party, running since 1998, has become a weekly celebration of life, spirituality, and music. Its gardens are draped in neon fabrics and lanterns, while tribal drummers, fire performers, and live musicians turn the space into a psychedelic wonderland.



Photographs of Namaste capture a different side of Ibiza: less about glamour, more about color, joy, and authenticity. In a world where the island’s luxury side often dominates, Las Dalias continues to be the most enduring symbol of its hippie roots - one that remains irresistibly photogenic.





Cova Santa: The Party in a Cave

Hidden in the hills near Sant Josep is one of Ibiza’s most unusual venues: Cova Santa, built around a 25-meter-deep natural cave. Once a tourist attraction, it was reinvented by Amnesia into a restaurant and open-air nightclub.



Its modern fame comes from artistic parties like WooMooN, which transformed the venue with lanterns, immersive performances, and a mystical festival atmosphere. Multi-level terraces overlook the countryside, while the cave itself glows with colored lights, often hosting intimate DJ sets.



Images from Cova Santa showcase its magical duality: the natural wonder of the cave combined with avant-garde party culture. It has become a place where Ibiza’s mythology, history, and nightlife converge into one unforgettable, photogenic setting.





Ibiza’s Photo Album

From ruins and fortresses to zoos and caves, Ibiza’s most iconic party venues are defined by their visual power. Each one tells a story not just of music but of creativity and reinvention. They remind us that in Ibiza, the venue itself can be the star - etched forever in photographs that capture the island’s ever-evolving legend.

This Week’s Parties in Ibiza (August 28 - September 3)

Two decades ago, in the summer of 2005, Pacha Ibiza was already a living legend. While some of the island’s other clubs went bigger, louder, or stranger, Pacha thrived by being glamorous, musically credible, and endlessly versatile. Housed in a converted whitewashed farmhouse on the edge of Ibiza Town, with its cherries logo glowing above the door, the club was the ultimate blend of VIP sparkle and underground spirit. And that season’s line-up proved it: seven nights of heavyweight residencies, each night programmed like a festival in its own right.



Walking into Pacha in 2005 meant stepping into a maze of rooms: the main dancefloor with its low ceiling and central DJ booth; the Global Room hosting hip-hop and funk; the funky side rooms and rooftop terrace where partygoers caught their breath under the stars. What really set it apart, though, was the way the VIP balcony wrapped around the dancefloor. Celebrities and club-kids danced practically shoulder-to-shoulder, creating that unique Pacha energy: equal parts hedonism and high society.





So what did a week at Pacha look like in 2005? Let’s go day by day.


Monday - Release Yourself with Roger Sanchez

Kicking off the week, Mondays belonged to Roger Sanchez and his Release Yourself residency. The New Yorker’s soulful, vocal-driven sets made Mondays surprisingly popular with the island’s locals, who packed the floor week after week. Sanchez typically played marathon sets, mixing gospel-tinged house, funky basslines, and plenty of hands-in-the-air moments. It wasn’t a night loaded with guests or gimmicks - just Roger in command from start to finish - and that was exactly why people loved it.



Tuesday - Defected in the House

If Mondays were smooth and soulful, Tuesdays brought the funk in full force. Defected Records had just moved from the smaller El Divino to Pacha in 2005, and the upgrade fit perfectly. From June through September, Defected in the House transformed Tuesdays into a soulful house paradise. Residents included Junior Jack & Kid Crème, Sandy Rivera, Kenny “Dope” Gonzalez, Dimitri from Paris, and Martin Solveig. The guest list read like a who’s who of house royalty - Bob Sinclar, DJ Gregory, Chus, Miguel Migs, Danny Krivit, and more all stopped by. Throw in live performances from acts like Reel People and you had a night that felt both polished and organic, the perfect marriage of Pacha’s glamour and Defected’s house music heart.





Wednesday - Subliminal Sessions with Erick Morillo

By midweek, things got wild. Erick Morillo’s Subliminal Sessions were among the most notorious nights on the island, and 2005 was no exception. Morillo was joined by co-residents Seb Fontaine, Steve Angello, and Harry Romero, plus an endless parade of guests. Highlights included Timo Maas at the opening, Darren Emerson in July, and a back-to-back set from Steve Angello and Sebastian Ingrosso that foreshadowed the rise of the Swedish House Mafia.



Subliminal was as much about the party as the music: champagne spraying, late-morning afterparties, and even cameos from P. Diddy, who jumped on the mic to hype the crowd. It was glamorous chaos in true Pacha style.





Thursday - Ministry, Yoshitoshi & F*** Me I’m Famous

Thursday was a mixed bag, and that was part of its charm. On alternating weeks, Pacha handed the reins to Ministry of Sound or Deep Dish’s Yoshitoshi label. Ministry nights featured eclectic line-ups with names like Groove Armada and breakbeat duo Evil Nine, while Yoshitoshi brought Deep Dish and their progressive house allies. Meanwhile, David and Cathy Guetta’s F*** Me I’m Famous was establishing itself as one of Pacha’s most in-demand nights, pulling in celebrities, models, and big-room house fans for unapologetically glamorous parties. Thursdays showed off Pacha’s versatility: one week underground credibility, the next week champagne-fuelled mayhem.



Friday - Pure Pacha with Pete Tong

Fridays belonged to Pete Tong, who hosted Pure Pacha, a night designed to blend classy music with a celebrity-studded vibe. The opening party alone featured Carl Cox, John Digweed, Wally López, and Nic Fanciulli alongside Tong - a line-up most clubs would kill to have over an entire season. Throughout the summer, guests like Sasha, Felix da Housecat, and live act Bodyrockers kept Fridays eclectic and stylish.



Tong also used the night to spotlight rising stars, with Spanish DJ Wally López appearing four times in support of his Perceptions of Pacha compilation. Pure Pacha perfectly embodied the club’s ethos: fashion, fun, and forward-thinking music all under one roof.





Saturday - Def Mix with David Morales

If there was ever a night for house music purists, it was Saturday. For years, David Morales had hosted the legendary Def Mix parties at Pacha, and 2005 continued the tradition. The opener featured Morales alongside Frankie Knuckles, a historic pairing of two house icons. Over the season, guests included Satoshi Tomiie, Danny Rampling, Pete Heller, and Hernán Cattáneo, all delivering soulful, uplifting sets. One standout night celebrated Morales’ birthday in August - a reminder that Def Mix felt less like a residency and more like a family gathering. Saturdays were classy, vocal, and emotional: the spiritual heart of Pacha.



Sunday - Everybody with Sander Kleinenberg

Sundays were always tricky in Ibiza, dominated by Space’s famous We Love marathon. But in 2005 Pacha made a bold play with Sander Kleinenberg’s Everybody residency. The Dutch DJ brought progressive and electro sounds, plus guests like Lee Burridge and Tom Stephan, aiming to lure serious clubbers who wanted something deeper than just another big-room blowout. Attendance could be hit-or-miss, but for those who went, Sundays were all about trippy visuals, long builds, and underground credibility in Pacha’s glamorous setting.



One-Off Highlights

On top of the weekly schedule, 2005 delivered some unforgettable one-offs. Danny Tenaglia played two marathon sets at Pacha, part of a series of Renaissance parties that season - a huge treat, since he rarely appeared on the island. Pacha’s own Flower Power nights also returned for a handful of dates, transforming the club into a psychedelic time machine of 60s and 70s classics. Meanwhile, the Global Room hosted live performances from Kelis and Dizzee Rascal, proof that Pacha wasn’t afraid to cross genres.





Why 2005 Still Matters

Looking back, 2005 captures Pacha at a sweet spot: still a family-run club with deep local roots, but also a global brand expanding to places like New York. Inside, it was intimate enough to feel special, yet big enough to host superstar DJs seven nights a week. Culturally, it defined what many now think of as “Ibiza style” - the mingling of underground music, international celebrities, and carefree hedonism, all under one roof. 2005 represents an era when Ibiza was at its glamorous, unmissable peak.



Two cherries, one farmhouse, seven nights of music - twenty years on, Pacha 2005 still shines as a season when every night felt like history in the making.
