Pocomucho Daily — Monday 6 July 2026

Monday, July 6th, 2026. I'm your host Ben D-M-Z. From Ibiza, this is Pocomucho Daily. Armin van Buren was on the rooftop of UNiVERSe Ibiza this weekend, pulling out classic trance on vinyl — one hour of it, for the purists. And if that wasn't enough, he also showed up at Kappa FuturFestival in Turin for a breakfast b2b with Enrico Sangiuliano at ten in the morning, and was apparently handing out paninis to the crowd. As far as unusual summer festival moments go, that one's going to be hard to beat. Health news from the DJ world — Harvey from Prospa has announced a pause from touring due to an ongoing ear condition. Over the past six weeks he's suffered ear infections and two perforated ear drums. No timeline given on his return, but the right call, clearly. Difficult news now. Mickey Mann, the Scottish sound engineer and producer known for his work with Aphex Twin and Orbital, has died at the age of 64. A GoFundMe has been launched to support funeral costs and family travel. A significant figure behind some landmark electronic music recordings. Our thoughts go out to everyone close to him. Kieran Hebden has dropped a surprise album under his Four Tet alias — the name written entirely in the Wingdings font, so good luck typing that one into a search bar. The record is eight tracks, runs 37 minutes, and is streaming now on Spotify. Pig&Dan are back with Destination Unknown III on Bedrock. The third instalment in the series from the duo who've been at this for close to three decades — a body of work that's about evolution rather than repetition, which the release makes clear. The Vestibule remixes EP from Galcher Lustwerk is out now on StrataSonic, featuring reworks from Ricardo Villalobos, Skee Mask, Saoirse, and Yaleesa Hall. Robin Thurston has a new progressive house release out called Equinox on Magnetic Magazine Recordings. The track is built around a lead pad from the u-he Diva synthesiser, and is remarkably produced and focused. D.J.S — the collective of Dymos, Jay Fase, and Shizzo — make their debut on Armada Records with One of Those Nights. Melodic house, tribal rhythms, groove-driven energy is the territory, this one should go a Long way. Freespirit, resident DJ at Cavo Paradiso in Mykonos for close to three decades, has given an in-depth interview for WE RAVE YOU, touching on his journey through the dance scene and the relaunch of Cavo Paradiso Records. Inspiring and worth the read. Over to France — Solidays, the Paris festival, will not happen this year. The 2026 edition was cancelled as an emergency measure just hours before its scheduled opening at Paris-Longchamp, after authorities intervened due to an extreme heatwave. And on the book front — Dub Revolution, written by David Katz, charts the history of dub and the birth of remix culture, tracing the contributions of pioneers including Lee "Scratch" Perry, King Tubby, Prince Jammy, and Adrian Sherwood. Worth knowing about if that lineage means anything to you, and it should. Now, what's good in Ibiza Today? John Summit brings Experts Only to UNVRS, with Sofi Tukker, Deer Jade b2b LP Giobbi, and Alt Control on the bill. Amnesia has Steel City, with Kettama going b2b with Silva Bumpa, plus Surusinghe and Soul Wun. At Akasha it's Peace N' Music with DJ Pippi and Willie Graff back to back. And Circoloco is at DC10 with a massive lineup — Dan Ghenacia, Dyed Soundorom, Honkey, Beltran, Ben UFO, Chris Stussy, The Blessed Madonna, Christian AB, Gerd Janson, Mochakk, Prosper, Rony Seikaly, and Sally C.
