Pocomucho Daily — Thursday 2 July 2026

Thursday, July 2nd, 2026. From Ibiza, this is Pocomucho Daily. Two big Ibiza stories to kick things off. The Diynamic Outdoor event with Solomun at Cantera Can Coix in San Antonio — scheduled for July 11th — has been cancelled following community backlash. Organisers Pacha ICONS confirmed all tickets will be fully refunded. The cancellation has reignited debate about the island's independent music scene. And zooming out to the bigger picture: Ibiza is set to freeze new nightclub licenses under the island's upcoming PIAT tourism intervention plan. First Vice President Mariano Juan confirmed the measure is aimed at halting nightlife expansion and preserving the current balance — not closing existing clubs. Charlotte de Witte has announced a special XXL edition of her audiovisual show The Resistance at Belgium's Rock Werchter festival on July 3rd — that's tomorrow. The show takes place in The Barn, a twenty-thousand-capacity tent. De Witte has been touring the production to considerable acclaim, and this version promises something beyond the standard run. AlphaTheta has announced the CDJ-1500X — a new media player that brings many features from the flagship CDJ-3000X into a more compact design aimed at smaller booths and home setups. No pricing or release date was included in the announcement, but for anyone who's ever tried to fit a full DJ setup into a spare bedroom, this one's for you. Sad news from the world of pop. Victor Willis, the lead singer of Village People and the voice behind Y.M.C.A. and Macho Man, has died at the age of 74. Madeon is back. Nearly seven years after Good Faith, the French producer returns with a new album called Victory. In a new interview, he spoke about creative risk, heartbreak, and reinvention — summing up his philosophy with the line: the one sin of an artist is to be boring. STL — Stephan Laubner — has announced a triple vinyl album called Take Me To Your Leader, out on his longtime home Something. Laubner has been releasing exclusively through the label for the better part of two decades, and a triple vinyl suggests he's not short of material. Mnemonics returns to Workshop with a four-track remix EP, Workshop 34. The release is built around material from Philipp Waltinger's 2025 cassette album on the label, with remixes from Mix Mup, Lowtec, and Kassem Mosse. Electronic Groove has announced a charity compilation in aid of Venezuela earthquake relief. Details on the release itself were limited, but the cause is clear. The Soundgarden returns to New York on Sunday July 5th for an open-air summer gathering at Brooklyn's Solana Park. The event is presented by The Ornate Project, Mind Matter, and Gonna Go, and features Nick Warren and Peces Raros live, alongside Allen Hulsey and Daniela Starcat. Now what's good in Ibiza? Universe is running a big one with FISHER, Nic Fanciulli, Marten Hørger, and Atrip. Pacha has Franky Rizardo on an extended set, joined by Alisha, Calvin Clarke, and Saraga. Also tonight, Josh Baker presents the You & Me Opening Party, with Baker going back-to-back with Prospa, plus Cloonee, jWave B2B Job de Jong, Shonky B2B Dyed Soundorom, and Moxie. At Akasha, Sven Väth presents T.R.A.N.C.E., with Mateo Dufour alongside him. Destino sees Marco Carola's Music On Daytime in daytime mode, featuring Carlita, Ahmed Spins, and Grace Arribas. O Beach has Offaiah, Ferreck Dawn, and a full supporting cast. Cova Santa hosts Gala by Ibán Mendoza, with Rodriguez Jr, John Acquaviva, and Tania Vulcano. Chinois goes Defected with Arielle Free, Low Steppa, Oden & Fatzo live, and more. And DC10 has Solid Groove — Marco Carola, Patrick Topping, Pawsa, Ben Sterling, Silvie Loto, and the rest. Pikes invites VITALIK & FUNK D’VOID. Big Thursday That's all folks. Although hand curated, this episode is AI-powered.
