Pocomucho Daily — Monday 10 August 2026

Monday, August 10th, 2026. I'm your host Ben DMZ. From Ibiza, this is Pocomucho Daily. Italy's leading clubs have mapped out their Ferragosto weekend music programmes, with venues from Lignano Sabbiadoro to the Gallura coastline, Jesolo, Tuscany and the Romagna Riviera all putting together lineups for the long holiday weekend. Ferragosto remains one of the most important dates on the Italian clubbing calendar. Over in Berlin, there's movement on the old Watergate site, which has been sitting empty for about a year and a half. Property developer Gijora Padovicz has announced plans for a new club in the space, claiming to have secured an internationally successful club operator as a tenant. No further details on who that operator might be just yet. Rainbow Disco Club is crossing borders. The beloved Japanese festival is holding its first-ever event in Singapore this October — a two-day gathering at Tanjong Pagar Distripark, an industrial arts and creative compound near the city's waterfront. The programme is split across three sessions: a day and night on October 3rd, and an afternoon on October 4th. DJ Nobu, Kuniyuki and Antal are among the acts confirmed. Leeds venue TESTBED is coming back. The 2,500-capacity club will officially relaunch in September following a significant renovation. The space has grown to 23,000 square feet, with a new mezzanine level, lobby and balcony added. A custom L-Acoustics L2 sound system and an integrated Chauvet lighting rig have both been installed. There are also plans to open a second room in 2027. Sad news from the production world. William Orbit, the British producer behind some of the most defining pop and electronic records of his era — including his work with Madonna and the All Saints track Pure Shores — has died aged 69. A statement from his family and friends, shared on August 7th, confirmed he passed away at home on July 23rd. No cause of death was given. A genuine giant. Miami's Factory Town and Insomniac have unveiled the full lineup for Hocus Pocus 2026: Dystopia Halloween. Now in its sixth edition, the event returns to Hialeah's nightlife complex from October 30th through November 1st. Chicago's Summer's Last Dance has revealed its 2026 edition, led by Big Gigantic, Henry Fong and Saxsquatch. The independent festival continues to fly the flag for community-driven dance music in a city whose festival calendar is increasingly shaped by the majors. Sasha has opened a remix competition through his 36db platform. Producers at any tempo or in any genre are invited to submit an original track built from part or all of a Sasha original. Entries close September 13th, with prizes including a pointblank writing camp and a Last Night On Earth release. And a feature worth your time — Legend festival, which brings electronic music to the ancient landscapes of Southern Italy, has been profiled. Across Europe, the search for extraordinary settings continues, and Southern Italy is turning out to be one of the more compelling answers. Now today in Ibiza? Our 2 picks: Pacha with Sonny Fodera and Armand Van Helden. And Circoloco at DC10 is stacked — Dixon, The Martinez Brothers, Luciano, Mano Le Tough, Courtesy, Gerd Janson, Jimi Jules, DJ Tennis, Garrett David, Alex Kassian, Aline Umber, Beltran and Byron Yeates. That's quite the Sunday stretch. That's all folks! Curated by me, narrated by my AI voice. For the human side, check out our weekly dance music selections, Ibiza club playlists and our DJ mixes.
