Pocomucho Daily — Thursday 6 August 2026

Thursday, August 6th, 2026. I'm your host Ben DMZ. From Ibiza, this is Pocomucho Daily. Tonight's the night before a very big weekend on this island, and we'll get to that shortly — but first, let's run the news. Edinburgh's Fringe Festival kicks off tomorrow, running through August 31st, and if you're heading up, Resident Advisor has done the legwork on the best electronic events across the month. This year's edition spans 3,649 shows across 258 venues, with local crews and international guests both getting a look in. Worth bookmarking their guide if the Fringe is on your radar. Zurich's Street Parade is this Saturday — its 33rd edition, back on the shores of Lake Zurich. One of the biggest free electronic music events in the world, and it comes around fast every summer. Splash House has revealed its lineups for its 2026 Palm Springs double weekender. Two back-to-back weekends — August 7th through 9th, and August 14th through 16th — taking over the Renaissance, The Saguaro, and Hilton hotels. Details are out now if you're planning either run. Jacques Greene has announced a new solo album titled *jg*. The Canadian electronic musician released a collaborative album with Nosaj Thing last year under the name Verses GT, and now he's back on his own terms. The record features contributions from crushed, CFCF, Jonah Yano, SEES00000, and others. Lead track "Presence" is out now. Beatport Connect LA is returning for its second year in Hollywood. The electronic music conference is back with what's described as a cleaner, sharper focus — cutting through the noise that tends to swallow these kinds of events whole. Decoded Magazine has published a new list of twelve electronic music documentaries, following up on a similar roundup from last summer. The new selection spans Detroit Techno through to Belgian New Beat. Worth a watch if you're after something for the sofa. Over in Toulouse, Le Pain Bénit Festival is making a move — on August 22nd, the 17th-century Château de Bonrepos-Riquet will host an open-air techno edition of the event, which is building a reputation as one of the standout dates on the Toulouse electronic scene. A broader cultural note: psytrance appears to be gaining ground across Europe, moving beyond its longtime position on the fringes. Specialist festivals are reportedly selling out and lineups are diversifying. Something to watch. ok now, what's on tonight in Ibiza? Universe is headlined by FISHER alongside Loco Dice — that's going to be a room. Pacha has Pure Pacha with Purple Disco Machine, Dombresky, Breakbot and Irfane, and Blu De Tiger. Amnesia's You & Me night brings Josh Baker, Joseph Capriati, and Saoirse. At Akasha, Sven Väth presents T.R.A.N.C.E. Destino is running Pacha Icons in daytime mode with Marco Carola's Music On, joined by Damian Lazarus and Max Dean. Chinois has a deep lineup featuring Eats Everything, Hannah Wants, Low Steppa, Todd Edwards, and Ellie Scougall. And DC10 has Solid Groove — ANOTR, Beltran, Ben Sterling, CAP, Gaskin, Joss Dean, Mariiin, Paramida, PAWSA, and Skream. A lot of island to cover tonight. That's all folks! Thanks for listening!
