Pocomucho Daily

Wednesday, August 19th, 2026. I'm your host Ben D-M-Z. From Ibiza, this is Pocomucho Daily. Ibiza closing season is coming into focus, and the announcements are stacking up. Ushuaïa Ibiza has revealed its closing party line-up for October 10th — an 11-hour, open-air marathon with 15 DJs from across the globe. Details on the full roster are still emerging, but if you're planning your end-of-season pilgrimage, that's the date to lock in. [STORY BREAK] Also on October 10th, [UNVRS] will wrap up its second season — dubbed Mission 2026 — with a closing party featuring East End Dubs, The Martinez Brothers, Mochakk, Mella Dee and more. The self-styled hyperclub has had quite the sophomore run, and this looks like a fitting send-off. [STORY BREAK] And one night earlier, on Friday October 9th, Hï Ibiza closes out its 2026 season with Black Coffee and Skepta confirmed among the headliners. A bumper season at Playa d'en Bossa — residencies from CamelPhat, Ewan McVicar and Indira Paganotto among the highlights — rounded off in style. [STORY BREAK] Carl Cox has contributed music to Skintown, a new film adaptation of Ciarán McMenamin's 2018 novel set in the nineties Northern Irish rave scene. The film is drawing comparisons to Trainspotting. Appropriate, then, that Cox is on soundtrack duties. [STORY BREAK] Dutch DJ and producer Chris Stussy has rebranded — he's now going by Chris Stassy. To mark the change, he'll be hosting editions of his N.A.M.E. party series in Birmingham and Amsterdam next month. [STORY BREAK] Technics is releasing a limited-edition SL-1200 to celebrate the turntable's 55th anniversary. Each unit will carry an individually engraved anniversary badge with its own serial number. Fifty-five years and still the reference. [STORY BREAK] Amsterdam Dance Event and global nighttime consultancy VibeLab have announced a partnership to produce the Nighttime Culture Index — a new global measure designed to track the vitality of nighttime culture worldwide. Worth watching as it develops. [STORY BREAK] Stone Techno Festival 2026 has wrapped, and by the sounds of it, delivered artistically despite a difficult start on Friday. One hundred artists across five floors, with a programme that leaned confidently into niche territory. The year of transformation, apparently — their words. [STORY BREAK] Junction 2's tenth anniversary celebrations continued on July 25th with a J2 x fabric edition, and reviews are strong. Impressive in scale, yet with a crowd that kept things feeling underground. Spreading the anniversary across multiple dates seems to have paid off. [STORY BREAK] John Summit has cancelled four European dates at the end of August, including one in France, citing an urgent need for rest. No further details given — straightforward as that. [STORY BREAK] And some unfortunate news from the festival world: Decibel Open Air has cancelled its 2026 edition. The Dutch festival cited years of economic hardship and an increasingly restrictive environment as the reasons behind the decision. [STORY BREAK] Quick note for the curious — Renate, Berlin's rambling party labyrinth on the Stralau peninsula, got a writeup this week. Multiple floors, an expansive garden, and a musical programme as eclectic as the building itself. If you've never been, it's worth knowing about. [STORY BREAK] Right, what's on tonight — one pick, and it's a good one. Pacha is hosting Mau P's Baddest Behavior night with Joseph Capriati and Sven Väth on the bill. Whatever you think of the name, that lineup speaks for itself. Curated by me, narrated by my AI voice.

Tuesday, August 18th 2026. I'm your host Ben DMZ. From Ibiza, this is Pocomucho Daily. Let's start on the island. Robbie Williams showed up at UNIVERSE to perform his new single "Beauty In Us" alongside Miss Monique the track had its live debut at Tomorrowland last month, so this was its second outing, and by the sounds of things, not its last. Also on the Ibiza radar — Butch has announced a three-date residency at Chinois. His first-ever residency on the island, and he's keeping it focused: no arena energy, no recycled superstar bookings. The guest DJs are people he actually rates. More on that in a moment when we get to tonight. Manumission is back. The legendary party has confirmed the return of Le Théâtre Pink Pussy at 5 2 8, with a six-hour set as part of the revival. No further details yet, but the name alone will mean something to anyone who was there the first time around. Pacha has revealed its Grand Closing Weekend line-up, featuring Roger Sanchez and PAWSA. No further details confirmed at this stage, but the closing season is now very much in sight. Sad news from Denmark. Electronic musician Sofus Forsberg has died aged 56. Danish dance music platform STRØM confirmed the news on August 12th, describing him as a vital force in the country's scene. In their words, he was an "electronic music legend" whose influence and impact on the electronic music community spanned more than three decades. A significant loss. Beatport has banned AI-generated music from its platform. The marketplace updated its content guidelines on August 12th to prohibit tracks made entirely or mostly using AI. Tracks created with AI assistance that remain substantially human-made are, for now, still permitted. A line drawn — though where exactly that line sits will no doubt keep people talking. And GROOVE magazine will be providing live commentary on the Rave the Planet parade stream this year — for the first time, the full parade will be broadcast from 2pm to 10pm. Links and details available through GROOVE directly. nOW, let's talk about tonight. A genuinely difficult one. Pacha has Franky Rizardo's FLOW with Blondish. Over at 5 2 8, it's Todd Terje, Jayda G, Mr Doris, Greg Wilson and Minna — yes, that's the full line-up. And Butch kicks off his Chinois residency with Demi Riquísimo, Jennifer Loveless and Fafi Abdel Nour. Pick your lane. That's all folks! Curated by me, narrated by my AI voice.

Monday, August 17th, 2026. I'm your host Ben DMZ. From Ibiza, this is Pocomucho Daily. Let's start with the closing parties, because the end of season is very much in the air here on the white isle. Hï Ibiza, Ushuaïa, and UNiVeRSe have all revealed their closing party lineups — firm favourites, special guests, and stacked rosters across the board. UNiVeRSe is powering down after what's been described as a monster second season, signing off with their Mission 2026 event. And over at Ushuaïa, ANTS has unveiled a stacked lineup for their final chapter of the summer. The closing stretch is here, and it sounds like the island intends to go out swinging. Staying in the neighbourhood, there's a piece making the rounds asking what it's actually like to party in Mallorca now that Ibiza has priced out most of its audience. The report, which looked at a night at the AMØK Club featuring Cro and Bootshaus, paints a picture of a more relaxed pace, mini dresses, linen trousers, and acrobatics included. The cost-of-living reality of Ibiza is clearly pushing both promoters and partygoers to explore alternatives. Back in the United States, Breakaway Festival is wrapping up what it's calling its biggest year in Texas with the Houston edition — the final stop on a 13-city 2026 tour. Dom Dolla, GRiZ, Cloonee, and Tape B are all on the bill. Meanwhile, Breakaway Philadelphia has also confirmed its return, heading back to The Festival Grounds at Subaru Park on September 11th and 12th. That one comes with 26 acts across two stages plus a silent disco, headlined by Tiësto, Marshmello, ISOxo, and SOFI TUKKER. New York is getting a new club. XTC Nightclub is set to take over the former Bushwick Triangle space in Brooklyn — a shuttered jazz bar sitting on a small concrete island in the middle of the area's dense nightclub district. No launch date and no lineups have been announced yet, but it's expected to open within the coming weeks. Also in Brooklyn, Refuge NYC is marking its first anniversary. The venue, situated between East Williamsburg and Bushwick, is celebrating one year with a lineup that includes Natasha Diggs, Deep Dish, and Chris Liebing, among others. One year in and already leaving a mark on the New York scene. Mayan Warrior has announced it will pause bringing its art car to Burning Man this year, stepping back after more than a decade on the sand. The collective will instead establish its new Discosamos camp at 2 & J. A significant shift for one of the event's most iconic presences. Richie Hawtin has waded into the ongoing debate about influencer culture in electronic music, criticising the fact that many DJs today are famous primarily for their social media reach rather than their music or craft. Expect that conversation to run and run. And a genuinely remarkable one to round off the news — Miami-based electronic artist Eddy Palermo has set a Guinness World Record, becoming the first person in history to run an ultramarathon while DJing live. Two passions, one world record. Hard to argue with that dedication. Also worth noting — German electronic music publication Groove is covering and commenting on the Rave the Planet parade livestream, which this year will be broadcast in full from 2 PM to 10 PM. Links and details available through their channels. Now if there is only one tonight? It's Circoloco at DC10, and they have absolutely loaded the lineup. We're talking &ME, Aline Umber, Arapu, The Blessed Madonna, Call Super, Chloé Caillet, David Triana, Honey Dijon, Isabella, Krol, O.BEE, Palms Trax, Priku, Rakim Under, Rampa, Skream, Tomas Station, and William Kiss. If you're on the island and not going, reassess your priorities. That's all folks! Curated by me, narrated by my AI voice.

Wednesday, August 12th, 2026. I'm your host Ben DMZ. From Ibiza, this is Pocomucho Daily. Cocoon is mixing things up with a refreshed line-up on its return to 528 Ibiza. No further details have been confirmed yet, but the announcement signals a new chapter for one of the island's most storied nights. Armin van Buuren has announced a vinyl-only residency at UNVRS Ibiza. The Dutch trance veteran will play a pure vinyl set at each of his dates on the island — an unusual move for an artist of his scale, and one that'll no doubt raise a few eyebrows in all the right ways. Anyma has launched ÆDEN Records, with a debut compilation titled Digital Renaissance Vol. I and a new single called Other Dimension, made with Volkoder, out this Friday. Axel Boman has launched a new label called Blurry, focused on underground dance music with a distinct visual identity. Its first release is a collaborative LP with Kompakt affiliate Superpitcher. The record is called Tell It To The Mountain, and was created following a three-day hike in Sweden. It arrives on September 25th. Luciano will bring the European debut of his immersive live concept ALIVE to Amsterdam Dance Event. It lands at Mediahaven on October 22nd, as part of the Loveland ADE programme. The concept has been four years in development. Eli & Fur will headline the first edition of Blockprint: A Block Party, taking place on Abbot Kinney Boulevard in Venice, California on Saturday August 22nd. Darius and Franc Moody are also confirmed for the event. Suno has announced a vinyl pressing service for AI-generated music. Users can compile tracks from their Suno library into a vinyl record, with room for up to 46 minutes of audio. And finally from the news desk — Zurich-based DJ Jenny Cara has faced significant backlash following her appearance at the Street Parade, after she displayed a Palestinian flag during her set on the Clubbing Stage. Now, what's on tonight. At Universe, Paradise with Jamie Jones is the one — Loco Dice, Hot Since 82 and Franky Rizard also on the bill. Pacha has Mau P, Seth Troxler and Ben Sterling. Hï brings together Meduza, James Hype, TSHA, Carista, Jonas Blue and Coco & Breezy. Amnesia's Resistance night features Boris Brejcha and Adam Beyer. 528 has DJ Harvey presenting Phoenix Rising for an Eclipse Special. And Playa Solei and Bora Bora host Sunwaves Ibiza's Eclipse Special with Dubfire, Mahony, Tania Vulcano, Nicolò Bonelli, Jyoel and Alexis Cabrera. That's all folks!

Tuesday, August 11th, 2026. I'm your host Ben DMZ. From Ibiza, this is Pocomucho Daily. Big news on the island — and it could reshape Ibiza's future as a nightlife destination. The Consell d'Eivissa has put forward proposals to stop issuing new nightclub licences on the island entirely. No new clubs. If that goes through, the map of Ibiza nightlife essentially gets frozen where it is. I will let you be the judge of that. Also in Ibiza, Burna Boy brought serious global star power to O Beach for the Luna Loca launch, and Paradise has just announced a back-to-back-to-back for the ages happening this week. No further details yet, but that phrasing alone has people paying attention. Now to some genuinely sad news. Damian Lazarus has lost his studio in Tuscany to a fire caused by a lightning strike. The artist shared a statement saying, "I'm devastated, of course, but I'm reminded that everything is impermanent." A tough blow — but a graceful response. In Berlin, a new report from Clubcommission makes for sobering reading. Thirty-nine percent of Berlin clubs are currently operating at a loss. Berliners still love their clubs, but they have less money, they're spending less time on the dancefloor, and they're drinking less alcohol. The city's club culture remains iconic, but the economics are clearly under real pressure. Agoria has taken his label Sapiens to a rather elevated location — literally. The Lyon-based producer is running chill sessions on the first floor of the Eiffel Tower at sunset, until September 3rd. As venues go, that one's hard to top. Mayan Warrior is bringing its full Art Car to Brooklyn on Saturday, August 15th, for an open-air event at Under The K Bridge, presented alongside Stranger Than. If you've seen the Art Car at Burning Man, you'll know what Brooklyn is in for. And looking further ahead — CircoLoco returns to Brooklyn Storehouse for Halloween weekend, October 30th and 31st. The lineup includes &ME, Mochakk, Rampa, Seth Troxler, Dixon, ANOTR, Beltran, Carlita, Konstant, and more across both nights. That's a serious Halloween. Also on the radar — UNTOLD 2026 is coming to Cluj-Napoca for four days of electronic music and global headliners. And mark your calendars: the 2026 total solar eclipse will be visible from Ibiza, and Beachouse is throwing a full party around it with Guy Gerber providing the atmospheric soundtrack as the island goes dark. That one writes itself. Now, what's our party picks for today in Ibiza?. KAYTRANADA is at Pacha — that's your headline pick. Over at Amnesia, Joseph Capriati leads a stacked night alongside WhoMadeWho, Luuk van Dijk, Fatima Hajji, and Clara Cuvé. And out at 528 by Pikes, it's Fatboy Slim, CC:DISCO!, and Erol Alkan — three very different energies on one bill, which is exactly the kind of thing that makes that room special. That's all folks!

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.

Friday, August 7th, 2026. I'm your host Ben DMZ. From Ibiza, this is Pocomucho Daily. It's eclipse week on the island, and Ibiza is leaning all the way in. Café Mambo is hosting a solar eclipse event this coming week — promising something genuinely out of this world, their words. Over at Beachouse Ibiza, Guy Gerber will be soundtracking the rare 2026 total solar eclipse with his atmospheric house sets. Dancing in the dark takes on a whole new meaning. And Pikes gets in on it too — DJ Harvey headlines an Eclipse Special as part of the Pikes Presents series, Tuesday nights at 528 Ibiza, digging deep into the music that made this island what it is. Darker Than Wax is turning 15 and doing it properly. The Singapore and New York-based label kicked off its anniversary celebrations earlier this year with parties in Singapore, Seoul and Bangkok. The global run now extends to New York, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Taipei and a return to Singapore. A label tour that actually spans the globe — respect. Over in Berlin, Kater Blau invited a writer to visit the club on the Spree riverbank to talk about discounted tickets for younger guests. What she found was something more layered — a space where past and present merge, built around what the club describes as the spaces in between. Berlin doing Berlin things. This week's records worth your attention: new music from Benabou on Blank Mind, Efdemin on Dekmantel, Erik Jabari on his own imprint, Nikki Nair on dh2, and Satoshi Tomiie on Dubwax. A solid spread across the spectrum. Ibiza Global Radio has announced a partnership with UNTOLD Festival, as the Romanian festival unveils what it's calling its most spectacular main stage yet. The French hard music scene is mobilising in response to wildfires in the South West of France, putting together a 24-hour charity stream with a host of DJs to support the victims. Thomas Bangalter has been speaking about artificial intelligence. The Daft Punk co-founder, in a conversation with Chanel Arts at Art Basel, said he is — his words — "not really interested in the creative usage of artificial intelligence." Make of that what you will. On September 5th, the Mile High Club returns to Nuremberg Airport, transforming the venue into a party destination for the night. Runways, presumably not included. And in stranger news — Swiss customs officers discovered kilograms of cocaine hidden inside lollipops, allegedly brought back by a 68-year-old man. An unusual souvenir choice, by any measure. OK NOW, what's good this weekend in Ibiza? At Hï, Dom Dolla headlines alongside DJ Boring, Confidence Man, Airwolf Paradise, Ewan McVicar, Chaos in the CBD and DJ Paulette. At Pacha, Marco Carola presents Music On with Dennis Cruz, Prospa and Davide Squillace. And Amnesia is throwing a Glitterbox night to remember — Flight Facilities, Groove Armada on a DJ set, Honey Dijon, Derrick Carter and the heavyweight finale of Moodymann back to back with Carl Craig. That one's going to be special. Looking ahead to the weekend: Saturday, Claptone brings The Masquerade to Chinois with Deep Dish. Elrow lands at Universe with De La Swing, Easttown and Nic Fanciulli. And ANTS takes over Hï with Green Velvet, Patrick Topping, SG Lewis and Omri. Sunday, Universe hosts Carl Cox, Luciano, Ilario Alicante and Tini Gessler. And Cova Santa's Pantheøn night brings D.O.D., Disciplines, Francisco Allendes and Matthias Tanzmann. That's all folks! Curated by me, narrated by my AI voice.

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!

Wednesday, August 5th, 2026. I'm your host Ben DMZ. From Ibiza, this is Pocomucho Daily. Tonight in Ibiza is stacked — we'll get to that — but first, the news. Resident Advisor has confirmed the lineup for the London leg of its RA25 world tour. The ten-date global run kicks off at Outernet on September 25th, coinciding with AVA London 2026. Mala and AliA will play DJ sets, while Blawan and Bitter Babe bring live performances — with Bitter Babe premiering a specially commissioned AV show backed by the British Council. Resident Advisor has also taken a deep dive into Amelie Lens' EXHALE platform, tracing its journey from no-frills Belgian parties a decade ago into a full-scale global ecosystem — now spanning a label, an events arm, and a community built around supporting and shaping techno's next generation. Also in the spotlight this week — BIIANCO. The artist has been one of electronic music's harder-to-ignore stories over recent years, with infectious tracks, high-energy sets and a string of viral moments. A new feature looks at the full arc of their journey — a lifetime in music, from solo work to bands, before evolving into the sound that's been turning heads. Over in Berlin — ELSE is celebrating its 13th birthday, and Heisss founder and booker Timm Mühlenberg has been reflecting on the venue's evolution. What began as an extension of Renate, he says, has grown into a place with its own distinct identity. Among the changes being made this year: several initiatives aimed at making the dancefloor more accessible to shy dancers. Also out of Berlin, Diáne Zillmer has been discussing the Miller-Zillmer Foundation's exhibition "Island of Time" at Silent Green. Across five questions, she introduces the foundation's work — which ranges from supporting indigenous art to synthesizer preservation. Her framing: music is both a witness to its time and an archive of it. Across to the US, where LED Presents has announced Temper — a brand-new electronic music event coming to Petco Park in San Diego on December 30th. The inaugural edition promises three stages spanning club, experimental and techno, positioning itself as a forward-thinking way to close out the year. Independent house label Sampled Detroit is back. Founder Chuck Daniels has relaunched the imprint with a curated collection of six of his most celebrated remixes, including a newly remastered version of his acclaimed rework of Andy Toth and Billy Love's "Thrillseekers." Good to have it back. Solomun has released a long-form film documenting his sold-out shows at London's Alexandra Palace, which took place on February 6th and 7th this year. The film premiered on his official YouTube channel on July 23rd — a proper document of what by all accounts were two significant nights. And MIRA Festival has revealed its 2026 lineup as it marks its 15th anniversary at Fira Montjuïc in Barcelona this November. Leading the bill: Arca, Max Cooper, and Shygirl, among others. Fifteen years at one of Europe's most distinctive art and music crossover events — worth keeping on the radar. Now, what's on tonight in Ibiza? A LOT. Universe hosts Paradise with Jamie Jones back-to-back with Chris Stussy — that's a pairing worth showing up early for. Ushuaïa goes big with Tomorrowland presents, Dimitri Vegas and Like Mike headlining. Pacha opens the Baddest Behaviour season with Mau P going all night long. Amnesia brings Resistance Ibiza — Adam Beyer, Eric Prydz and Maceo Plex all on the same bill. Cova Santa has Rumors with Guy Gerber and Lee Burridge. Playa Soleil Bora Bora runs Sunwaves Ibiza with Marco Faraone, Cristina Lazic, LEON, Priku and Shonky. And Chinois has Mahmut Orhan, Volkoder, and Benja back-to-back with Franc Fala.

Tuesday, August 4th, 2026. I'm your host Ben DMZ. From Ibiza, this is Pocomucho Daily. Pukka Up has announced a special Eclipse boat party sailing out to Es Vedrà on August 12th. One of Ibiza's most dramatic natural backdrops, and now a party destination — details are still emerging but it's one to flag in the calendar if you're on the island that week. Tomorrowland has dropped its official aftermovie for 2026, featuring footage of David Guetta, Armin van Buuren, Steve Angello, Alok, Jonas Blue and more. If you were there, relive it. If you weren't, this is your highlight reel. Sad news from Hungary. The Ozora Festival has been brought to an early close following two deaths on site — one person suffered a cardiac arrest, another died after a fall from stage decoration. The organizers ended the festival as a result. Our thoughts go to the families involved. A significant legal moment for the AI music space. On July 31st, the 42nd Civil Chamber of the Munich Regional Court ruled that AI music generator Suno infringes copyright. The case was brought by GEMA, the German music rights organisation, and the court found in their favour under presiding judge Elke Schwager. A ruling that will be watched closely across the industry. Two club closures in Germany to report. First, arkaoda — the Berlin club and cultural space — is shutting its doors at the end of August after almost nine years of operation. The founders say they're moving on to new projects and are looking for someone to take over the space. And in Munich, the Blitz Club held its closing weekend last week, bringing the curtain down on another cult venue. The farewell began on Friday — Munich's clubbing community came out to see it off properly. Ferragosto weekend is nearly here and Italy's leading clubs have announced their music programmes for the long weekend. From Lignano Sabbiadoro to the Gallura coastline, via Jesolo, Tuscany and the Romagna Riviera — the country's club circuit is gearing up for one of the biggest party weekends of the Italian summer. New York DJ, producer and label owner Derek Marin has passed away. A source from his circle confirmed to Resident Advisor that Marin died on July 31st. No cause of death was given. Marin had releases on Get Physical and Nervous, and had ties to the Berlin scene. Rest in peace. And finally in the news — MySpace is coming back. The Vanderhook brothers, Chris and Tim, have officially confirmed plans to relaunch the iconic platform. They told Mashable they're waiting for the right time to pull the trigger. Myspace Tom will not be involved. For anyone who spent their formative years agonising over their Top 8, this one hits differently. Right, what's on tonight. At Hï, it's East End Dubs back-to-back with Franky Rizardo, joined by Obskür, Ale De Tuglie, Paco Osuna, and Melanie Ribbe. Pacha has Disclosure and KAYTRANADA — that's a big one. Amnesia's Metamorfosi night brings together Joseph Capriati, Alisha, Ben Klock, Ellen Allien and Anfisa Letyago. 528 has Pikes Presents with Bonobo, Optimo Espacio and Bushwacka!. Cova Santa hosts PIV Ibiza with Chez Damier, DXNBY, Ozzie Guven and Rio Tashan. And Chinois has the C.R.A.F.T. Ibiza night featuring Hernán Cattáneo, Albano Bastonero and Matías Vila.

Monday, August 3rd, 2026. I'm your host Ben DMZ. From Ibiza, this is Pocomucho Daily. Jamie Jones is joining the Feels Like Eclipse Festival lineup, with tropical scenes promised. No further details yet, but the name alone suggests something worth watching. NTS Radio has unveiled 18 new summer residents, and it's a genuinely eclectic bunch. Panda Bear and Sonic Boom, Carmen Villain, DJ SWISHA and Manara are among the headliners of the cohort, alongside French-Mongolian multi-instrumentalist Céline Dessberg, Sydney hardcore punk band SPEED, hyper K-pop crew SYSTEM SEOUL, and Nigerian Mara artist Azzi On The Beat. This comes off the back of NTS celebrating its 15-year anniversary. Jean-Michel Jarre has announced his first-ever book. Titled Machines: A History of Electronic Music, it's out October 8th via Thames and Hudson, and will trace the roots of the sound through photographed examples and written contributions from key figures including Richie Hawtin, Johnny Marr, Gary Numan, Armin van Buuren, and members of New Order. Fred again.. and LATIN MAFIA spent two days in a Mexico City studio recording an entire mixtape on a non-stop livestream. That's the story. Respect the commitment. Berlin club and cultural space arkaoda is shutting down after nearly nine years. The founders say they want to dedicate themselves to new projects and are looking for someone to take over operations. Another chapter closes in Berlin's ever-shifting club landscape. Over in Zurich, Kauz Klub was forced to cancel a planned dayrave in Hirzel at short notice after its permit was revoked. The event had been scheduled for August 1st with around 400 guests expected, and the club has described the situation as causing enormous financial damage. Moldovan trance producer Andrew Rayel is marking a milestone — the 500th episode of his Find Your Harmony mix show. He's been running the show and its accompanying label for years, and the 500th episode is set to be a proper celebration. A useful tool for the record-hunting obsessives among you: Trackmatch now links track IDs directly to Discogs and Bandcamp, making it easier to go from catching a record in a mix to actually owning it. And on a related note, Decoded Magazine has brought back its Mix of the Month DJ Competition — entries close August 20th if you want to throw your hat in. This week's records worth knowing: Aquarian, Frits Wentink, Mano Le Tough and DJ Koze, Remcord, Jonathan Kaspar, Sam Goku, and The Mountain People all have releases in the latest batch of reviewed records from Groove Magazine. Right, what's on tonight in Ibiza. Pacha has Sonny Fodera, Jayda G, Danny Howard and Laeet. Over at Amnesia, it's Kettama presenting the Steel City Closing Party with Skin On Skin, Samba Boys and Angel Lee. Chinois hosts La Troya with Mousse T, Fat Tony, Oscar Colorado and Rampini. And if you want the marathon option, Circoloco at DC10 is loaded — ANOTR, Ben UFO, Bradley Zero, Chloé Caillet, Halfprint, Jamback, Mochakk, Nicolas Lutz, Seth Troxler, Sonja Moonier, Sossa, Tania Vulcano and Wildealer. That's a lineup. 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.

Friday, July 31st, 2026. I'm your host Ben D-M-Z. From Ibiza, this is Pocomucho Daily. It is a massive night on the island — we'll get to that shortly — but first, let's run through the news. John 'Jammin' Collins, elder statesman of Underground Resistance and a cornerstone of Detroit's techno scene, has passed away. Collins spent half a century helping shape the city's musical landscape, holding the scene together through decades of change. A true pillar. Rest in power. Britta Mischer has directed a new documentary titled *Love is Stronger — From Loveparade to Rave The Planet*, contrasting the mythology of the Loveparade era with the present-day Rave The Planet movement. In conversation about the film, Mischer reflects on egos, the passage of time, and what she describes as smiling faces you could always find despite the money and the madness. One to watch. Dave Angel — British electronic music pioneer — has shared the first single from his upcoming album *A Time And Place*, which he's describing as his most personal and accomplished work to date. The track is called *Réflexion* and features a celebrated collaborator whose full details weren't confirmed. Album incoming. Nia Archives, Dave, and Kojey Radical have all been shortlisted for the 2026 Mercury Prize. The winner will be announced on the 22nd of October at Newcastle's Utilita Arena. Strong shortlist. Over in India, electronic music artists are throwing their weight behind the youth-led Cockroach movement — formally known as the Cockroach Janta Party. After two months of Gen Z-driven protests, ranging from satirical online campaigns to mass street demonstrations, India's education minister resigned last week in what supporters are calling a significant blow to the ruling BJP government. Artists in the Indian electronic scene are now publicly voicing solidarity with the movement as the deeper struggle continues. Sammy Virji is heading back to New York for two nights on the Brooklyn Waterfront, bringing his UK garage sound to one of the few cities outside Britain that has genuinely embraced it. Virji has been central to putting UKG in front of global audiences, and it sounds like NYC is ready to receive him again. Desert Hearts have announced Microfest — a new intimate boutique festival experience taking place at Deloro Valley in Northern California from October 1st to 5th. A smaller, more personal chapter for the Desert Hearts family. White Claw and Defected Records are teaming up for a social experiment called *Find Your People*, launching on National Friendship Day 2026. The premise: the dancefloor has the power to connect people in ways nothing else can. They're calling it a first of its kind. We'll see. Now, where are we going tonight? Pacha is hosting Marco Carola's Music On alongside The Martinez Brothers and Luke Dean — always a serious one. Over at Hï, it's BBC Radio 1 Dance X night with Dom Dolla and KI/KI. Amnesia has Glitterbox in full force — David Morales, Michael Gray, Todd Terry, Inner City, and Jellybean Benitez all on the bill. And 528 is going big with BBC Radio 1 Dance Ibiza — Disclosure on a DJ set, Gorgon City, Jazzy, Josh Baker, plus the Radio 1 crew: Arielle Free, Charlie Hedges, Danny Howard, Pete Tong, and Sarah Story. Spoiled for choice tonight. 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.

Thursday, July 30th, 2026. I'm your host Ben D M Z. From Ibiza, this is Pocomucho Daily. Mau P is planting his flag on Ibiza's midweek. The Dutch producer kicks off his Baddest Behaviour residency at Pacha Ibiza on Wednesday August 5th, running every Wednesday through to October 7th. He'll be going all night for the debut, and this is the residency's second summer at the venue after its launch last season. And speaking of Ibiza — Chinois is heading into August with no signs of slowing down. After running parties every single day in July, the venue keeps the momentum going with a stacked guest roster that includes Hernán Cattáneo, The Blessed Madonna, Deep Dish, and Kerri Chandler, among others. Serious selections across the board. Sad news now, and significant. Kavinsky has died at the age of 50. The French DJ and producer, real name Vincent Belorgey, passed away at his home in Paris on Tuesday evening. The news was confirmed by French newspaper Le Parisien. He's best known for his 2010 track Nightcall, which became one of the defining moments of that era. The Paris prosecutor's office has opened an inquiry into the circumstances of his death. A genuine loss for electronic music. Aphex Twin's Drukqs is getting the anniversary treatment. The sprawling 30-track album is set for a 25th anniversary vinyl reissue, arriving across multiple physical formats on October 30th. One of the most singular records in electronic music — and now you'll be able to own it in style. Cloonee and Prospa are back together, and this one carries real weight. Their new single Good Girl features Tristan Henry and is the first track from Cloonee's forthcoming debut album, out now on Good Music For Bad People and Hellbent Records. The pressure is on — their last collaboration was a big one — but debut album mode is a different kind of moment entirely. Appetite On The Farm returns for its fifth edition, heading to Kelvedon Hall in Brentwood, Essex across two days — Saturday and Sunday, August 29th and 30th. Jamie Jones, Max Dean, Shanti Celeste, Skream, SG Lewis, and Traumer are among the names on the lineup. A proper late-summer send-off in the countryside. And a broader social note — a report this week looks at the growing number of people sneaking onto festival grounds, driven by the rising cost of tickets. It frames it as a questionable workaround that's becoming more and more common. Make of that what you will — though the festivals certainly have a view on it. Finally, a useful one for the DJs listening — Berghain and Ostgut Ton affiliate Ryan Elliott has shared the five online newsletters he uses to find music. Worth a look if your USB is a mess and you know it. Now, where are we going today in Ibiza? Over at Destino, it's the Pacha Icons outdoor party — Solomun, Michael Bibi, and Butch. Hard to argue with that lineup under the open sky. At 528, La Discothèque brings FAC51: The Haçienda to Ibiza, with Derrick Carter, Felix Da Housecat, Graeme Park, and Ultra Naté performing live. A full Manchester pilgrimage, on the island. Chinois has Defected tonight — Carl Craig, DJ Gregory, and HoneyLuv on the bill. Deep house and Detroit in the same room. And DC10 hosts Solid Groove with Ahmed Spins, Dennis Cruz, Pawsa, Route 94, The Ghost, and Toman. That one's going late. That's it folks! Curated by me, narrated by my AI voice.

Wednesday, July 29th, 2026. I'm your host Ben D-M-Z. From Ibiza, this is Pocomucho Daily. Big news for the island — Ibiza is set to experience a rare total solar eclipse next month, and the clubs are already moving. A series of eclipse-themed sunset events are being planned around the occasion, with Pikes hosting a takeover at 528 Ibiza featuring DJ Harvey. That's the kind of booking that fits the moment perfectly. [STORY BREAK] Also on the Ibiza front, BBC Radio 1 Dance is expanding its Ibiza schedule, adding UNVRS, Ushuaïa and Hï Ibiza to its broadcast lineup this season. [STORY BREAK] And Jamie Jones joins the Feels Like Eclipse Festival line-up — tropical scenes incoming, as the billing puts it. [STORY BREAK] Over in Germany, Electrisize returns to Erkelenz on August 7th to 9th for its 17th edition. The headline story this year is the 10th anniversary of HARDSIZE — the festival's hardstyle stage that started as an internal risk nobody believed in and has since grown to rival the Mainstage in scale. Brennan Heart, who opened the stage back in 2016, returns for the occasion, joined by Ran-D, Coone and Sickmode. A proper milestone. [STORY BREAK] Sicily is holding its own this summer — PHASE 2 FSTVL is bringing Ben Klock and NOVAH to Catania, on the island's eastern strip. [STORY BREAK] Chicago sister duo me n ü are having a breakout year — moving from intimate coffee shop performances to some of dance music's biggest stages. They spoke about their project Hope House and finding their place in the scene. One to watch if they're not already on your radar. [STORY BREAK] Tomorrowland has published the sets from its 2026 edition. If you missed either weekend, the recordings are now out — consider that your post-festival recovery sorted. [STORY BREAK] Label news: Monstercat and Rampage Recordings are consolidating their operations, joining forces and merging their respective labels. [STORY BREAK] Also on the label front, Sondela Recordings has launched a new imprint called Sondela Volt, dedicated to the deeper, darker and more club-focused side of African electronic music. The catalogue opens with a track called Ascendance, a collaboration, out since July 24th. [STORY BREAK] Numbers has reissued Hallucinator's Landlocked — Chain Reaction material, making it to vinyl for the first time, remastered by Rashad Becker at Clunk. Available to pre-order now. [STORY BREAK] A rare vinyl reissue is also on the way featuring remixes from house legends Frankie Knuckles and Larry Levan. Details are limited but the names alone make it worth watching. [STORY BREAK] Jimi Jules has released Whisper To Me, a new collaboration with Swedish duo Modern Tales, out via Innervisions. The track grew from an unused bass sample originally recorded for Trippy Yeah, developed further while Jules was travelling. [STORY BREAK] Former Coppelia 101 resident and vinyl distributor Iván Smoka has launched a new retrospective mix series called Smoka Selects — spanning two decades of club culture. Archival mix series done right. [STORY BREAK] And finally on the news front — Rave The Planet 2026 remains uncertain following an attack during Berlin's CSD celebrations. Organisers say they are in talks with authorities, but as of now it's still unclear whether the event will go ahead. More to follow on that one. [STORY BREAK] Right, what's on tonight. At Universe it's Paradise with Jamie Jones and Bedouin — and it's the Abracadabra Closing Party at Pacha with BLONDISH, Adam Ten, Mita Gami and Marsolo. Hï Ibiza hosts Our House with Meduza, James Hype, Miane and Mind Against. Amnesia has RESISTANCE in full force — Adam Beyer back-to-back with Ilario Alicante, ARTBAT, Joris Voorn back-to-back with KOROLOVA, Mosimann and Davina Moss. And at Chinois, Mahmut Orhan alongside Foster The People doing a DJ set — that's not a combination you see every day. Curated by me, narrated by my AI voice.

Tuesday, July 28th, 2026. I'm your host Ben D M Z. From Ibiza, this is Pocomucho Daily. We have to start in Berlin, where the city is mourning after a devastating attack on its Pride event on Sunday. A van was driven into the crowd, killing one person and injuring 29 others. The attacker, named as Abdul Ballout, was later shot and killed by police. The community and the city are grieving, and questions are being raised in the aftermath of the attack. Staying in Berlin — the festival MAGMA, previously known as MAGMA & LAVA, has rebranded under the single name MAGMA. Booker Magnus von Welck has been explaining the thinking behind the change, saying the sound of MAGMA is more of a feeling than something that can easily be named — which tells you everything about where this festival sits in the Berlin scene. Amelie Lens closed the Freedom Stage at Tomorrowland this past Sunday while pregnant — dedicating her entire set to her upcoming debut album AURA. In a candid interview with Belgian public broadcaster VRT NWS, she opened up about performing in that condition, saying you shouldn't put your dreams aside. Hard to argue with that. Fred again.. and LATIN MAFIA have shared a new 35-minute tour film called *under the fabric*, capturing a spontaneous live session shot back in December. It also features unreleased music — so worth your time if you haven't watched it yet. Resident Advisor is turning 25 this year, and they're not letting it pass quietly. The RA25 project spans the second half of 2026 and includes a ten-date world tour, a limited-edition book titled *Front Left: 25 Years of Electronic Music* coming via Velocity Press, a bespoke merch run, and an archival editorial project. A proper anniversary, properly done. And finally, a big one for the heads. Sasha and John Digweed are reissuing their landmark 1996 mix album *Northern Exposure* to mark its 30th anniversary. *Northern Exposure Redux* drops September 25th via Late Night Tales on digital, CD and vinyl, and includes brand new ambient and dub reworks. Thirty years on and it still holds up — this reissue is very welcome. What's on today ibiza? Calvin Harris, Pete Tong, head to Ushuaïa, Universe has Anyma and Miss Monique. Rufus Du Sol and Disclosure at Pacha. East End Dubs, Skream, TSHA and Paco Osuna at Hï, Joseph Capriati B2B with Damian Lazarus at Amnesia, and Saoirse, Moxie, Peach & Shanti Celeste all day long at 5 2 8. That's it folks!

Monday, July 27th, 2026. I'm your host Ben D-M-Z. From Ibiza, this is Pocomucho Daily. It's a big night on the island. John Summit closes his Experts Only residency at UNiVeRSe tonight — Gorgon City and Odd Mob are joining him for what promises to be a serious send-off. We have some sad news to share. Berlin-based DJ and producer Nico Stojan has passed away. The announcement was made on his social media channels on July 26th. He was a respected figure in the scene, and our thoughts go to everyone who knew him. Miss Monique brought melodic techno to the Tomorrowland 2026 mainstage for Weekend 2 on Friday, and she ended her set with a moment — the live reveal of her debut collaboration with Robbie Williams, titled Beauty In Us. Darren Emerson has gone back to Dark & Long. The 2026 remake of Dark & Long, Dark Train — the track he had a hand in originally — is out now via Detone. On the reissue front, Scissor & Thread are bringing back two records from DJ Sprinkles, Francis Harris, Frank & Tony — newly remastered and available to pre-order now. Two of the deepest house records of the last fifteen years, back on vinyl. Palms Trax has released Soft Trance, Hard Gossip through fabric — his first solo material since 2021. It's a preview of his forthcoming two-track EP, Keys to a Printed Garden. And Dharma Techno Festival is offering something a little different — an experience combining underground techno with silent meditation and full sobriety. Not every festival, but definitely a festival. DHB Portugal has announced its 2026 lineup: Luciano, Bedouin, and Josh Baker are confirmed. Speaking of Josh Baker — he's also been added as a late addition to BBC Radio 1 Dance Ibiza at 528 Ibiza. Good week for him. Now, what's on tonight? Amnesia has Kettama, Pacha invites Sonny Fodera, Jayda G, Danny Howard, and Laeet. Hï has Francis Mercier presents Solèy with Alex Wann, Andrea Oliva, and Henrik Schwarz live. And it is Circoloco at DC 10 with Prospa, Beltran, Carlita, Palms Trax, Desirée, Chaos in the CBD Sossa, and Jamback to name a few. That's it folks! Curated by me, narrated by my AI voice.

Tuesday, July 21st, 2026. I'm your host Ben D M Z. From Ibiza, this is Pocomucho Daily. Pacha Ibiza has announced its Grand Closing Weekend Part 2, and PAWSA is taking control on Sunday, October 11th, joined by Miguelle & Tons. Closing season is still a way off, but it's never too early to mark the calendar. Miguelle & Tons, meanwhile, has been confirmed as the next act for San Antonio's Feels Like Eclipse Festival. No further details announced yet. Over in Croatia, Culture Club Revelin in Dubrovnik has dropped its full 2026 lineup including Volkoder, Son of Son, Fedde Le Grand, Claptone, DJ Diesel, Kapuchon, Ferreck Dawn, Loco Dice among others. The venue — set inside the historic Revelin Fortress — is bringing house, techno, melodic sounds and high-energy EDM to one of the most architecturally striking club spaces in Europe. Heading to Scandinavia — Kokong Festival returns to the Åland Islands on July 31st and August 1st, once again hosted inside a geodesic dome. The programme focuses on experimental electronic and electroacoustic music, continuing the festival's commitment to adventurous, forward-thinking sounds. Berlin's Werkbundarchiv — Museum der Dinge opens a new exhibition on July 23rd titled Club Culture — Taking Stock. The show examines the challenges of documenting Berlin's club culture for museum purposes and preserving it for the future. A city that's spent years fighting to protect its clubs now turning the lens inward. Brian Cid has released a free remix of MANDY's Body Language as a tribute to the late Philipp Jung, co-founder of Get Physical Music. The remix is available now on Cid's SoundCloud, created to celebrate Jung's life and legacy. Boris Brejcha is set to perform his first-ever orchestral show at the Hollywood Bowl on July 26th. The German producer will appear alongside the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra, conducted by Derrick Hodge. And over in France, Delta Festival kicks off in one week — running July 23rd to 26th on the Prado beaches of Marseille.

Monday, July 20th, 2026. I'm your host Ben D-M-Z. From Ibiza, this is Pocomucho Daily. Tomorrowland had quite a weekend. Charlotte de Witte showed up unannounced on the Mainstage on Sunday for an impromptu set blending hard techno with psy-trance — an unexpected curveball that, by all accounts, shifted the entire mood of the day. Meanwhile, on Saturday night, Dimitri Vegas took the Mainstage solo following Like Mike's announcement that he's stepping back from touring due to health challenges. Dimitri dedicated a moment during the set to his partner with the words: "We can't wait for you to be back." And in one of the more genuinely moving stories to come out of the festival, Spanish DJ B Jones returned to the Tomorrowland Mainstage after beating cancer — saying in a statement that the goal of performing there again was a major source of motivation throughout her treatment. Good to have her back. Over in Hamburg, controversy is brewing ahead of this weekend's Habitat Festival. The city's antisemitism commissioner Anna von Villiez is calling for the cancellation of Palestinian techno DJ Sama' Abdulhadi's planned performance at the event. In Germany, a large-scale raid saw customs investigators, federal police, and special forces storm a suspected drug laboratory in an industrial building in the Brandenburg town of Ludwigsfelde. Separately, following the earlier raid at the Augsburg City Club — one of the biggest controversies in German nightlife this year — police have now searched 19 homes belonging to club visitors. French festival Positive Education is back. After a one-year hiatus, the Saint-Étienne gathering — located near Lyon — returns on November 6th and 7th with a lineup that includes A Guy Called Gerald, K Wata, Machine Girl, ABADIR, Manuka Honey, Eris Drew and Octo Octa, and Microplastics, among others. Good to see it back. Reworks Festival in Thessaloniki has dropped its first names for 2026. Paul Kalkbrenner, Dixon, Fadi Mohem, Daria Kolosova, The Blessed Madonna, DVS1, Maceo Plex, Modeselektor, Moritz von Oswald, and Sama' Abdulhadi are among the bookings for the September festival. Full programme still to come. London arts venue Theatreship — the volunteer-run centre based on a docked cargo ship — has confirmed it will continue operating after reaching a binding agreement that includes legal protections against future noise complaints. The space had been under threat for the past 14 months due to a proposed skyscraper development nearby. Good news for one of London's more singular venues. Leeds is getting a new warehouse venue. Promoter Arrival Events — founded in 2024 by Josh Demello and Kane Towning — is opening a space called Vault, described as the city's largest-ever warehouse experience. An opening date and location are yet to be announced. Sven Väth is opening a residency at The Shard in London this August — a five-date series in partnership with fabric and Sennheiser, taking place at The View from the Shard. One of the more unusual venue pairings you'll see this year. Now, what's on tonight in Ibiza. Kettama heads to Amnesia. Sonny Fodera and Dombresky take over Pacha. Hï hosts Francis Mercier presenting Solèy. Akasha has DJ Pippi and Willie Graff. Cocoon lands at 528 with Sven Väth and Nina Kraviz.

Friday, July 17th, 2026. I'm your host Ben DMZ. From Ibiza, this is Pocomucho Daily. Solomun and Jamie xx delivered what's being called a legendary sold-out back-to-back at Pacha Ibiza — a masterclass in dancefloor heat that's got people talking. Two artists at the very top of their game sharing a booth. Enough said. Marco Carola's Music On has made its Malta debut, and a new piece looks inside the logistics and vision behind bringing the religion of the low end to the island for the first time. Big undertaking, by all accounts. elrow returns to New York tomorrow — July 18th — with their 'Dance With The Serpent' concept, taking over Pacha New York for a sunset-to-4AM immersive experience. Coco & Breezy, Tony Romera, Tini Gessler and Brothers Macklovitch are among those on the bill. Sustain-Release has revealed its 2026 lineup. The beloved Catskills festival, founded by Aurora Halal — who will also play — returns this September with livwutang, Verraco, james K, Joy Guidry and Byrell The Great confirmed. B2Bs include DJ Nobu and DJ MARIA., DJ Healthy and JP, and CCL and Yushh. A strong showing for one of New York's most cherished gatherings. For Nelson Mandela Day, London's Trafalgar Square will host South African DJs and musicians in an event that also marks 30 years since the South African Constitution was enshrined. Sun-El Musician, Thakzin and Sjava are on the lineup. Logic1000 has announced her new album, 'Confirmation!', and shared the first single. It's the follow-up to her acclaimed debut 'Mother', with the Australian artist using it to celebrate many versions of herself. Spencer Brown has been announced for Global Underground's nubreed 13 — the long-running series that has been a launchpad for cutting-edge electronic talent for three decades now. Amelie Lens and Angèle have unveiled a collaboration — Angèle made a surprise appearance during Lens's set at Dour festival to debut the track together. Belgium doing Belgium things. French hardcore artist Hysta has released a new single called "Belong To One" — her first on Dancing Dead, dropping today at 170 BPM. She's been described as the queen of French hardcore, and this marks another step forward. HÖR Berlin is taking its operation on the road — on July 24th, as part of HÖR On Tour, the Bootshaus transforms into a temporary HÖR studio for a full club night across three floors, with Deborah De Luca headlining. Now, what's on tonight in Ibiza. Hï has Dom Dolla alongside Interplanetary Criminal, Cole Knight, Ewan McVicar, Bradley Zero and Alinka. Amnesia's running Glitterbox with Alan Dixon, The Shapeshifters, Krystal Klear and O'Flynn — whose album dropped this very morning, no less. Over at Pacha, Marco Carola presents Music On with Vintage Culture, Hot Since 82 and Idriss D. And Playa Soleil Bora Bora has the Cécille Records crew — Cuartero, Joey Daniel, Nick Curly, Paul Woolford and S.A.M. Saturday, Chinois has Claptone presents The Masquerade with Faithless DJ set, Flashmob, and Rob Roar. At Pacha it's Flower Power with Roger Sanchez, David Morales, Olive F and Kristen Knight.

Thursday, July 16th, 2026. I'm your host Ben D M Z. From Ibiza, this is Pocomucho Daily. It's been a hot week on the islands — and not just in terms of energy. Ibiza and Formentera are under a yellow heat warning from Spain's national meteorological agency AEMET, with temperatures hitting 37°C in parts. High humidity and prolonged dry conditions have also pushed wildfire risk higher, prompting warnings from local authorities. Stay hydrated, stay alert. Amnesia is marking fifty years with a limited edition vinyl compilation. No tracklist details just yet, but a landmark anniversary deserves a proper pressing. Over at Destino tonight — and we'll get to the full rundown shortly — but first, news that Music On is making its Malta debut. Marco Carola's party has built a near-religious following among lovers of the low end, and this first edition on the island looks to be a significant moment for the Mediterranean club circuit. In Berlin, Kater is doing something genuinely useful. From July 11th, clubbers aged 18 to 24 can get a Next-Gen Ticket for €15 — available in advance via Resident Advisor or at the door, subject to availability. The move is a direct response to rising nightlife costs, and it's a smart one. More clubs should be paying attention. Cologne's Südbrücke — the largest privately operated open-air venue in the city — has been ordered to cancel all events by the local building authority. No timeline given on when or whether it can reopen. A blow for the city's outdoor scene. Tomorrowland will be broadcasting sets via Apple Music Club Radio during this year's festival, free to access daily from 3PM Central European Time. San Francisco is getting a new festival. Entanglement runs September 18th to 20th, put together by local promoter Endezeit in collaboration with Detroit's Interdimensional Transmissions. The lineup includes Suzanne Ciani, Wata Igarashi, Clarisa Kimskii, Carlos Souffront and Patrick Russell. A strong pairing of labels and cities, and a lineup that leans into the more experimental end of the spectrum. Actress is back. The new album is called Radical Frame — out September 18th on Ninja Tune. It shares its name with the live audio-visual show Actress will perform at Pitchfork Music Festival and Unsound later this year. The album features CASISDEAD and Rainy Miller, and the first single, Overchord, is out now. Orbital are releasing their legendary 1994 Glastonbury set for the first time. It comes out September 25th via London Records, remastered from the original desk tapes. That performance is widely credited with cementing electronic music's place on the festival main stage — about time it got a proper official release. Now, what's on tonight? A LOT! Universe has Fisher headlining, with Salute and MPH. Amnesia is hosting Josh Baker's You&Me with Enzo Siragusa, Silva Bumba B2B Dr. Banana, and Alexandria. Pacha goes Pure Pacha with Purple Disco Machine, joined by Dombresky, Deer Jade and David Bay. Akasha has Hernan Cattaneo back-to-back with Dave Seaman, plus Bodaishin. Destino is Pacha Icons outdoors — Solomun with Joseph Capriati and Magdalena. Cova Santa sees Yotto's Odd One Out take over with Joris Voorn, Son Of Son and Sonic. Club Chinois goes Defected, with Carl Craig, Eliza Rose, DJammin, Murphy's Law, Shae Reid and more. And DC10 runs Solid Grooves — Beltran, Demi Riquisimo, Denis Sulta, DJ Seinfeld, DJ Tennis, Pawsa, Paula Tape and Trauma. A serious Thursday. THAT'S ALL RAVERS!

Wednesday, July 15th, 2026. I'm your host BenDMZ. From Ibiza, this is Pocomucho Daily. Amnesia is marking its 50th anniversary with a 50-track vinyl and CD compilation set to be released on September 4th. Spanning five decades of electronic music history on the island, the release is telling the full story of one of clubbing's most iconic venues. Ten discs, fifty tracks, from Donna Summer, Calvin Harris, Paul van Dyk, Candi Staton, Fred Again.., Robert Miles, Laurent Garnier, Binary Finary, and many more. Detroit's Charivari festival has revealed its 2026 edition. Running August 13th to 16th across TV Lounge and Tangent Gallery, the four-day event features DJ Bone, DJ Spen, Eddie Fowlkes, LADYMONIX, Terrence Parker and more. This year's theme is "PARALLEL," with a multi-generational lineup built to connect the dots across Detroit's dance music legacy. A new documentary has dropped following Fred again.. on the final date of his USB002 tour in Mexico City. Titled *Behind The Sound*, it goes behind the scenes ahead of that closing show. New details have emerged on the Tomorrowland mainstage fire from last year. According to sources cited by Belgian outlet Het Laatste Nieuws, the blaze was reportedly caused by an ethanol spill during testing of the pyrotechnic displays. The highly flammable substance is believed to have made contact with the stage during that process. Roland Leesker has put his hands on Inner City's 1992 house classic *Pennies From Heaven*. The rework is out July 24th via Definitive Recordings — a label that knows a thing or two about that era. Munich's Blitz has announced the lineup for its four-day closing party. After nearly nine years on the Isar, the club is shutting its doors, and it's going out with over 70 residents and international acts across the final run. The marathon weekender will feature Seth Troxler, Sam Goku, Ogazón, DVS1, HTRK and dozens more. DJ Plead — real name Jarred Beeler — has opened up about his Arab heritage, identity, and a sense of permanent guilt he carries. In a new conversation, he described rebuilding a sense of homeland through melodies and called identity itself a hallucination — a fever dream, in his words. Defected Records and sportswear brand Champion have launched a capsule collection together, featuring clothing and a UDG DJ trolley. And New York's ÄGAPĒ Festival has unveiled its full lineup for its debut edition, with Kobosil, Somewhen, Clara Cuvé, Bad Boombox, Cloudy, and Adrián Mills among the names confirmed. Now, what's on tonight in Ibiza? Paradise takes over Hi with Jamie Jones, East End Dubs, Rossko, Locky, Dennis Quin, and Evie. At Pacha, BLOND:ISH presents Abracadabra with Monolink playing a hybrid set, alongside Samm and Peace Control. Cova Santa has Rumors tonight — Guy Gerber, Deep Dish, and Luca Saporito. Chinois welcomes Mahmut Orhan with Fideles and Nick Castle. And out at Playa Soleil Bora Bora, Sunwaves touches down with Leon, David Gtronic, Dunmore Brothers, and Sonja Moo. That's it folks!

Tuesday, July 14th, 2026. I'm your host Ben D M Z. From Ibiza, this is Pocomucho Daily. John Digweed is dropping a live recording from the Twilo reunion — and if you know, you know how significant that is. Captured on March 6th at the original location, 530 West 27th Street in New York, Digweed played for five hours at the revival of one of the most mythologised clubs in dance music history. The release hits on July 24th, spread across four CDs, with four continuous mixes available to stream exclusively on Bandcamp. A new campaign called Raise The Bar has launched with the aim of improving how artists are treated at music venues. The initiative takes direct aim at large corporate venue operators, with organisers stating that venues owned by what they describe as the Live Nation monopoly have made poor practices too common across the country. DNA in Munich will close at the end of September after nearly three years. The city loses a fixture of its nightlife — another reminder of how difficult it remains to keep independent club spaces alive right now. A Boiler Room event in New York this past weekend was met with protests from activists connected to the Boycott Room campaign, who demonstrated on Friday against the organiser's ownership structure. The situation escalated, with reports of activists being attacked and trampled at the event. Change The Beat, the global non-profit supporting women and gender expansive artists in electronic music, has pledged 300 label signings for women and gender expansive electronic artists by 2028. The organisation is expanding its mission to build pathways through education, mentorship, industry access, live events and release programmes. Australian producer, singer and DJ Pretty Girl is back after a deliberate year away. She's returned with the Body Step EP, released via her own label earthside, and has announced a new signing to Red Light Management alongside it. Lee Burridge has released Fading Out — his first solo original production since 2021. Out now via All Day I Dream, the eight-minute track blends deep house grooves with ethereal vocals and organic percussion. Anjunadeep is bringing its Open Air series to New York City's Central Park for the first time, scheduled for July 18th — that's this Saturday. Marlon Hoffstadt — also known as DJ Daddy Trance — will release his album Das Ist Daddy on August 7th. The first single, Party People, dropped on June 25th. The album is described as a tribute to club culture. Ministry of Sound is the subject of a new anthology revisiting the founding years of the institution. Ministry of Sound: Anthology promises to go inside one of the most influential clubs and labels in global dance music history. In Paris today — it being Bastille Day — the southern French electronic music festival Basses Fréquences is setting up at Le Hasard Ludique for an open air party on the rails to mark the national holiday with Manchester duo Blasha & Allatt! Dave Gardner has written about how 36db.live built what they're calling the Sasha Environment — a production education platform built around access to real Ableton projects from artists with defined workflows. It's a different angle from the usual preset-pack cycle, and worth a read if you're into the production side of things. Check it out! And tonight in Ibiza — Hï hosts East End Dubs presents Eastenderz, with Archie Hamilton, Paco Osuna and Franky Rizardo. Over at Pacha, it's RÜFÜS DU SOL with ANOTR. 528 has Pikes Presents Love.House.Disco. — Groove Armada on DJ duties, plus Joe Goddard, Eats Everything and Bushwacka!. And Chinois hosts Appetite with Luuk Van Dijk back to back with Laidlaw, Elliot Schooling and Liam Palmer, Isaac Carter, Tommy Gold, and Yass and Mali. That's it folks!

Monday, July 13th, 2026. I'm your host Ben D-M-Z. From Ibiza, this is Pocomucho Daily. Pete Tong has pushed back against claims that he copied John Summit's remix of Everything But The Girl's "Missing." In a statement sent to Resident Advisor on July 10th, Tong's team said the version he developed with Franky Rizardo was created independently. A separate proposed collaboration with Summit, the statement clarified, never moved beyond initial discussions. Sad news from the drum and bass world. Lenzman — DJ, producer and founder of The North Quarter label — has passed away. He had been living with kidney cancer since 2023. A genuine stalwart of the scene and a significant voice in the culture. London venue The Lion & Lamb has cut ties with co-founder Andre King following a wave of abuse allegations shared last weekend. The venue's team stated it will not continue in any business relationships with King. Brunch Electronik Lisbon has revealed its full programme for its 2026 season, which doubles as a ten-year anniversary celebration. Running through to the end of August, the remaining parties will feature Adam Beyer, Charlotte de Witte, Solomun, Sara Landry and Miss Monique among others — following recent editions with Joseph Capriati, Nic Fanciulli and Shimza. Lisbon continues to hold its own. Snowbombing has announced its first wave of artists for its 2027 return. Bicep Live and Fatboy Slim share joint headline duties, Also confirmed in the first wave is Rossi., the UK house DJ whose groove led sets have made him a regular booking across the international circuit. More names are still to come across multiple stages and genres. From Germany, a heads-up for the club and events industry: a planned increase in alcohol tax set to take effect in 2027 is expected to raise purchase prices, push up drinks costs, and add further financial pressure on clubs and promoters. The BBC and Sony Music Vision are teaming up to broadcast Calvin Harris live from Hampden Park on August 1st. The homecoming show will air on BBC One and BBC iPlayer, bringing the performance to audiences across the UK. Swiss trio D.J.S. — comprising Dymos, Jay Fase and Shizzo — are back with a new single called "Coming Home," a collaboration with vocalist Ode, out now on Tortuga. Their usual blend of melodic deep house and atmospheric electronics arrives right on time with England's football team getting near the final of the World Cup. Coincidence? Now, what's on tonight in Ibiza? Universe is doing Experts Only with John Summit headlining alongside Eli Brown, Colyn and Dreya V. At Amnesia, it's Kettama with VTSS, X Club and Shampain. Hï has an impressive card tonight — Soley with Francis Mercier back-to-back with Aryme, Notre Dame b2b Ramyen, plus Sasson, Nomis, Andrea Oliva. Pacha welcomes Sonny Fodera. And then there's Circoloco at DC10 — arguably the biggest card of the night — with Aline Umber, Carpiar, Petre Inspireşcu, Raresh, Rhadoo, Bambounou, Carlita, Dixon, DJ Gigola, Luke Alessi, Obee, Rony Seikaly, Seth Troxler, Skream, Sossa, Sweely, Tomas Station and Wildealer.

Friday, July 10th, 2026. I'm your host Ben D M Z. From Ibiza, this is Pocomucho Daily. Ibiza first — Rendez Vous has its opening night at Maison Le VRAI, right next to Pacha with Iban Mendoza from Gala, Ainsley May and Ben D M Z. Perfect pre-clubbing spot in the Ibiza Marina area. UNTOLD Festival is making a genuinely meaningful move for its 2026 edition — offering free HPV testing and breast ultrasounds to attendees. Complimentary access to professional health consultants will be available close to the event site for all wristband-holders. Snowbombing has dropped its first wave of artists for the 2027 return to Mayrhofen in the Austrian Alps — six days of electronic music and skiing in what is one of the more unique settings on the festival calendar. Artist names are starting to roll out, so keep an eye on that one. A new festival has been announced for 2027 — Shadowlands, set in the historic city of Canterbury. International music, historic surroundings. Details are still emerging. WonkyWilla has released the Disco Wonk EP, a four-tracker that makes his genre-blending ambitions very clear. Built from years of live development, it's his first collection of entirely original music and sits somewhere outside the established lines of bass music. Josh Baker steps into anthem territory with a new track featuring Poppy Baskcombe called My Place. Bellaire, meanwhile, is entering what he's calling his funkiest era — Born Funky is out, and a global tour is following it. BLR, Amber Revival and Soave Records have launched a new label called blooom⋮, dedicated to emotional electronic music. It comes with a dual AM/PM release format, and the first release landed on June 26th. And the Junkyard is making its way to San Diego. The Junkyard Revival is bringing the late-night spirit of the original — art, connection, dance floor energy — to the city this Saturday. oK NOW, what's on tonight? Rendez Vous opens at Maison Le VRAIi with Iban Mendoza, Ainsley May and Ben D M Z, Marco Carola presents Music On at Pach with BLONDISH, Frank Storm, and Kimonos. Amnesia has Glitterbox with Channel Tres, David Morales, Todd Terry, David Penn, and Fat Tony, COVA SANTA Has Woomoon with Viken Arman, Yulia Niko and Hardt Antoine. That's it folks.

Thursday, July 9th, 2026. I'm your host Ben D M Z. From Ibiza, this is Pocomucho Daily. Jamie Jones is set to open a new London venue called Ironworks, with Voyager named as the launch event. No further details have been confirmed yet, but London's club landscape just got a little more interesting. In Paris, Jen Cardini has curated a new summer series of electronic music events at the Palais de Tokyo. Called Tokyo Waves, the programme runs across five dates between July 12th and August 29th, taking place on the museum's Garden Level alongside its Normes Corps exhibition season — and each ticket includes entry to the exhibitions. Upcoming sets will come from BASHKKA, upsammy and Beatrice M. A new club is coming to Los Angeles. ORIGIN will open later this year in the Arts District, featuring both indoor and outdoor spaces designed for electronic music. Founded by Roni Mehrabian and Cyril Bitar, the venue has been designed by Marc Dizon — the man behind Brooklyn Mirage, Output, and Hakkasan in New York. Berlin festival Wall2Wall has announced its 2026 lineup. Taking over RSO from August 13th through 17th, the bill includes Monolake, Erol Alkan, Grace Dahl, Jennifer Loveless, Garçon and Agonis, Yanamaste, ÜBERKIKZ, Spekki Webu and more. Local crews HEISSS, Raster Selected, Xtrude and others will take on hosting duties, as is Wall2Wall tradition. In Chicago, Viva Acid and A Party Called Tribe have announced the Dance Mania Legends Block Party — a free community event celebrating the sounds, DJs and cultural legacy of Chicago's Ghetto House movement. It takes place this Sunday, July 12th, at Indigo Mrkto, bringing together pioneering Dance Mania DJs for what should be a proper celebration of the city's own history. Dutch DJ Franky Rizardo has withdrawn from a planned remix of Everything But The Girl's "Missing," following the public dispute between John Summit and Pete Tong over the track's origins. In a statement posted to X yesterday, Rizardo said that after learning more about the background to the release, "it no longer feels right" to be involved. He stressed he was not taking sides or placing blame, and confirmed the remix will remain a set-only track. A new book is on the way from writer Emma Robertson. Titled Breakthrough — 20 Artists on the Album that Changed Everything, it features interviews with electronic musicians including Richie Hawtin, Tricky, William Basinski, Max Richter, Laraaji and Peaches, each discussing the seminal album that shaped their trajectory. Right, what's on tonight in Ibiza. At Universe, it's FISHER headlining alongside DJ Pee Wee, Wild Comet, Jason Bye, Richy Penny.

Wednesday, July 8th, 2026. I'm your host Ben D-M-Z. From Ibiza, this is Pocomucho Daily. Mahmut Orhan's residency at Chinois Ibiza is already making noise. The Turkish producer's 'Sounds Like Pillowtalk' series opened on July 1st with a surprise Francis Mercier back-to-back, setting the tone for what promises to be an intimate, dancefloor-first run — eight more dates stretching through to August 26th. Jeff Mills is the subject of the summer cover story in C.013, and the framing is a good one. It opens with a screening of Live at the Liquid Room — Mills's 1995 Tokyo set, projected at New York's Knockdown Center — showing a 32-year-old Mills moving at frightening speed, ducking under the booth, snapping back into the mix, pushing machines and vinyl into something that sounded extraterrestrial. Now 63, Mills is being asked to weigh in on a question the music never quite stops asking itself: what is techno, is it a sound, a style, a way of life — and is it even in good health? His answer is in the magazine. FISHER is back in Ibiza for another residency at Ushuaia — sorry, at UNIVERS — and DJ Mag caught up with the Grammy-nominated Australian to talk about his history with the island, family life, and what another summer here means to him. From Gold Coast surfer to one of the most in-demand names in house music, his arc remains one of the more unlikely ones in the game. Dimmish has a free download called "Yoshi" dropping via FabricLondon Records on May 29th, 2026, and it's followed up by the first DENSER show at Tantra. The record fits neatly into a run of releases that have moved quickly across clubs and DJ libraries — he's building a consistent path, and this next stretch adds another clear marker to it. Nick Niclassen has been talking about remix culture, deadlines, and finding his own artistic identity. His remix of Fejká's "Azur" — released alongside versions from Max Cooper and Chris Luno — is drawing attention, and by his own account it landed well because it came from an authentic place. Worth a listen if you haven't already. Bastian Bux is bringing Petit Comité — his house music platform — to New York City at H0L0 Yard in Ridgewood, and it is the first time the Barcelona-born party series has come to the city. Waterworks has revealed set times for its 2026 edition at The Cause in London — a 36-hour non-stop run. Extended hours, extended sets, extra production. Highlights include Bradley Zero & Erol Alkan, Christian AB & Craig Richards, Eris Drew, Midland, Leon Vynehall, Raresh & Sonja Moonear, OK Williams & Skee Mask, Daniel Avery, Djrum, Tim Reaper and Shy One. The Heroines of Sound festival is heading into its 13th edition, with the Asian diaspora placed at the center of the programming. The festival's curator has been speaking about the event, and was direct on one point: when it comes to real gender equity in music, she says, we're still a long way off. Francis Mercier, Andrea Oliva, and Bob Sinclar are headlining King's Club in Jesolo, near Venice, across three consecutive Saturdays this July. Mercier opens on July 11th, Oliva follows on the 18th, and Sinclar rounds it out from there. A strong Italian summer run for all three. Adam Beyer is heading to Mia Mao in Paris on Saturday July 25th for a night called Activate. The Swedish techno heavyweight bringing his sound to the French capital — should be a good one. Now, what's on tonight. Paradise at Tiboo has Jamie Jones back-to-back with Marco Carola — that's a pairing that doesn't happen often — alongside Nic Fanciulli, Luuk van Dijk, Olive F, Italobros, and Mason Maynard. Ushuaia has Tomorrowland presenting Dimitri Vegas and Like Mike, with Oliver Heldens and Vini Vici. At Pacha, BLOND:ISH brings Abracadabra with Disclosure on DJ set — that one will be packed. 528 has Brunch Electronik linking with The Gardens of Babylon, featuring Monolink in hybrid mode and Satori live. Amnesia is hosting a free rave courtesy of Marlon Hoffstadt, with Cloudy, Saidah, Hannah Laing, and Southstar on the bill. And Chinois tonight is Mahmut Orhan continuing his Sounds Like Pillowtalk residency. That's it folks. Curated by me, narrated by my AI voice.

Tuesday, July 7th, 2026. I'm your host Ben D-M-Z. From Ibiza, this is Pocomucho Daily. Big news from our own backyard first. Ainsley May and Ben D M Z are launching a new weekly Friday residency here in Ibiza — Rendez-Vous, at Maison Le Vrai, formerly known as Laïla, in Marina Botafoc. It kicks off this Friday, July 10th. Doors open at 8pm for dinner and drinks, and the night runs through to 3am, or later depending on how things go. The idea is straightforward: arrive early, sit down, eat, settle in, and let the music carry the evening. Íband Mendoza joins as a guest for the opening. If you're on the island this Friday, you know where to find us. Chinois Ibiza has laid out its full July residency schedule, and it's a serious month. The venue inside Ibiza Gran Hotel in Marina Botafoc is open every night throughout July, with Bedouin, Claptone, Major League DJz, Defected, Mahmut Orhan and more all confirmed across the month. The Soundgarden, the progressive house imprint, is returning to the iconic Cova Santa. No further details confirmed yet, but worth keeping on the radar if that sound is your thing. Over to London, where fabric has announced its autumn and winter programme. October through December will bring Ricardo Villalobos, Sama' Abdulhadi, Craig Richards, Francesco Del Garda, Girls Don't Sync, Ogazón, Joseph Capriati, Rødhåd, Ben Klock, Marcel Dettmann, Ellen Allien, and many more. A strong showing from the institution — tickets will move fast on several of those. Also in London, Waterworks Extended has released set times for its 36-hour marathon at The Cause. Extended sets, extended hours, extra production — all running continuously at one of the capital's grassroots venues. Full details are out now. The Warehouse Project is doing something a little different this summer — a free outdoor exhibition in Manchester, bringing club subculture out of the dark and into daylight. WHP has been a fixture in the city since launching at the Boddingtons Strangeways Brewery back in 2006, and this sounds like a proper celebration of that history. Melon Bomb has a new Sunday home at Wild Comet inside UNIVERS. No further details confirmed, but a new weekly slot for an established party is always worth noting. In Italy, Alien Sound Festival has been postponed after the main stage collapsed in strong winds ahead of the Naples event this past weekend. No injuries reported in the story, but a stark reminder of what outdoor festival organisers are up against. Balance Croatia 2026 has dropped a 33-track official festival compilation ahead of the event, which runs August 6th to 10th at The Garden in Tisno. Good way to get acquainted with the lineup before you make the trip. Yard Festival has announced its return to the White Sand Mountains, with Disclosure, Rampa and Adam Port among those confirmed. Marlon Hoffstadt has announced a new album called Das Ist Daddy. The lead single is Party People, which samples Marshall Jefferson's Move Your Body — a bold swing, and one that sets a clear tone for the record. Budakid has unveiled his debut album, Where It Goes, out on Flores. A premiere worth catching if you don't know his work yet. Solomun has announced a feature film about his debut performances at Alexandra Palace in London. The production premiered on June 25th on his official YouTube channel — so if you missed it, it's there now. Astral Plane — Total Eclipse Festival — is shaping up for August 2026, centred around a total solar eclipse. The ambition, according to those behind it, is for the event to be far more than just a backdrop to the astronomical moment. Saffron's artist development programme for Black women and gender-diverse music creators is returning, with the latest instalment supporting three artists through mentoring. And for the readers among you — or listeners who like to go deep — this month's book pick is Aftershock: The Seismic Impact of Dubstep, tracing the genre's emergence at the turn of the millennium as jungle and garage were running out of creative steam. Right, what's on tonight. At Pacha, WHY NOT presents RÜFÜS DU SOL, with Romy from The XX as a very welcome addition to that bill. At Amnesia, Joseph Capriati presents Metamorfosi with Wade, Volkoder, FJAAK, and Freddy K. Over at 528, it's Pikes Presents with 2manydjs, Heidi, Erol Alkan, and Ken Fan — a nicely eclectic room that one. And at Chinois, it's Appetite tonight with Hot Since 82, Sidney Charles, Elliot Schooling and Liam Palmer, Jaden Thompson, and DiOsa. That's it folks. Although hand curated, this episode is AI-powered. For the human side, check out our weekly dance music selections, Ibiza club playlists updated almost daily, and our focus mixes.

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.

Friday, July 3rd, 2026. I'm your host Bendmz. From Ibiza, this is Pocomucho Daily. Big news dropping on the island this weekend — Solomun and Skrillex have released their first-ever collaborative single, 'Rumpta', out now on Diynamic. Built around house-inspired vocals and a peak-time groove, it brings together Skrillex's detailed production approach with Solomun's signature sound. And if you want to hear it road-tested in the best possible setting, they'll be playing together at Solomun +1 this Sunday at Pacha. MANUMISSION is exposing more secrets ahead of its long-overdue Ibiza return, Billing itself as The Party of the Decade, Le Weekend Manumission takes place at multiple island locations between September 25 and 27, The weekend's centrepiece is set to be the full venue takeover of 5 2 8 Ibiza on the 26. Josh Baker and friends are carrying You&Me opening party at Es Paradis and it is sold out. It is Ibiza Global Radio Festival this weekend in Sant Antonio with Deep Dish, R3HAB and Patrick Topping as headliners. Étienne de Crécy announced that is marking thirty years of Super Discount in proper style — with a full festival. The Super Discount Festival is set for the 18th and 19th of December at the Centquatre in Paris, celebrating one of the defining records of the French Touch era. Boys Noize has gone italo-disco with a new two-track EP out on Running Back Records. The release dropped June 26th and features two cuts — with vocalist Vinson Fraley appearing on one of them. Suno has launched Spark, a new incubator programme for independent artists. It offers funding, mentoring and promotional support to unsigned singers, songwriters and producers aged 18 and over , Applications are open now. Nothing — the London-based tech company — is launching Club Nothing, a global dance music event series, and alongside it the Club Nothing Fund, which awards four independent creatives ten thousand dollars each to bring their club nights, event series or festivals to life. James Hype has finally dropped his much-anticipated viral edit of the classic anthem 'Work'. A summer club weapon that's been doing the rounds — now it's official. Now what's our picks for clubbing this weekend in Ibiza? TODAY, Marco Carola brings Music On to Pacha with ANOTR, Mason Collective and Gennaro. Over at Amnesia, Glitterbox is stacked — Horse Meat Disco, Mousse T., The Shapeshifters, Dave Lee, DJ Spen, Gok Wan, and Revival House Project doing a live PA. Dom Dolla headlines Hï alongside SG Lewis. Kaluki takes over 5 2 8 with Julian Fijma, Cam Stockman, M-High, Pirate Copy and Elicia.

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.

Wednesday, July 1st, 2026. I'm your host Ben DMZ. From Ibiza, this is Pocomucho Daily. Manumission is teasing more secrets ahead of its long-awaited return to Ibiza — details remain tightly under wraps, but the legendary party is clearly building anticipation deliberately. Also on the island, Jean-Michel Jarre will make his Ibiza debut this Sunday, July 5th, at Amnesia. The French electronic music pioneer will perform an exclusive live show. Glitterbox continues its run at Amnesia every Friday through October 9th, with the venue marking its fiftieth anniversary in style. Grace Jones and Jorja Smith are among the names confirmed for the series. Amsterdam Dance Event has revealed its lineup for the 2026 edition — its 30th anniversary — and it's a strong one. Skepta, Avalon Emerson, Octo Octa, DJ Nobu, KIKI, and Armin van Buuren are all on the bill, among more than 250 artists confirmed for the city-wide festival. Deezer has launched a new in-app feature called Remix Lab, letting users create and share remixes of popular tracks. The company says artists and rightsholders will be compensated for every stream. It's rolling out first in France via Deezer Club. Club Space in Miami is leaning into the FIFA World Cup moment with the launch of its Space Futbol Club Collection — a limited-edition apparel capsule that brings together football culture and the club's identity. A vinyl recycling pilot has launched across independent record stores in the US. Collectors can now drop off unplayable records at Amoeba Music in LA and Rough Trade in New York to be recycled as part of the industry-led programme. A good start. KVLTÖ Records has returned to digital with its 80th catalogue release — Experimental Spiritual Practices by Circuit V, a high-energy record from the respected Portuguese artist and producer. Berlin-based ambient artist Notte Infinita has spoken ahead of his live set at Sanctum of Sound at MaHalla, describing his approach as wanting to leave space for interpretation. His project sits at the intersection of hypnotic ambient and techno. Paul van Dyke is moving in a new musical direction. The German producer will release music under the alias Aurien — a significant departure from his club-oriented work, moving instead into ambient and lounge territory. Maria Uzor, formerly one half of Sink Ya Teeth, has announced her debut solo album Fantasyland, alongside the first single Don't Touch Me. And Hernán Cattáneo and Tom Pavicich have a new collaborative track called Bloom, out now on Balance. Now, what's good in Ibiza today? At Universe, it's Jamie Jones back to back with Seth Troxler, joined by Lauren Lane, Franky Rizardo, and others. At Pacha, BLONDISH presents Abracadabra with Diplo also on the bill. The 528 HAS Brunch Electronik teams up with The Gardens of Babylon for a daytime affair featuring Ben Böhmer and Jan Blomqvist, both live. Chinois hosts the Mahmut Orhan Opening Party with Francis Mercier. And over at Pikes, David Morales heads up the night alongside Mina and Defex. That's it folks.

Tuesday, June 30th, 2026. I'm your host Ben D-M-Z. From Ibiza, this is Pocomucho Daily. Glastonbury is sitting this one out — 2026 is a fallow year — but Block9 isn't letting the weekend pass quietly. The iconic stage has uploaded six sets to its SoundCloud page, timed to coincide with what would have been the festival's opening day. The recordings, captured at last year's event, feature Dave Harvey, ISAbella, Guy Williams, and others. If you're feeling the Glastonbury-shaped hole in your life right now, that's your remedy. Good news out of Canada. Ottawa City Council has passed a motion allowing venues to apply for annual authorisations to hold all-night dance events, rather than seeking a separate licence for each individual event. Previously, any music event running between 3 AM and 9 AM required its own application every single time. The new system should make life considerably easier for promoters and venues operating in the city. Solid Grooves and Miami's Club Space are both calling for donations to support relief efforts following the earthquakes in Venezuela, which have killed nearly 1,500 people at the time of writing. Both organisations are actively coordinating donation efforts — details through their respective channels. HBO has shared a trailer for a new four-part documentary series about Burning Man. It's called The Man Will Burn, and it premieres on the 9th of July. Tidal has published a new policy on AI-generated music, setting out how the streaming platform plans to handle a category of content that has grown considerably over the past year. The policy covers arrangements with labels, fraud checks, and a royalty ban on AI-generated tracks. Worth watching closely — how the major platforms land on this will matter for everyone in the music ecosystem. Now, where are we going tonight in Ibiza? Universe has Æden, with Anyma, CamelPhat, Adam Sellouk, and 7Skies — that one's going to be big. Pacha goes deep into the Brazilian groove with Vintage Culture heading up a lineup that includes Mochakk, Volkoder, and Doozie. 528 opens early with Folamour, Melon Bomb, and the legendary Josh Wink. Chinois hosts an Anjunadeep night featuring 16BL, Because Of Art, Jody Wisternoff, and Natascha Polke. And Tomodachi has Real Gang with Tristan Da Cunha, Miller, and Nicolau. That's it folks!

Monday, June 29th, 2026. I'm your host Ben D-M-Z. From Ibiza, this is Pocomucho Daily. Pacha has landed in New York — permanently. The iconic Ibiza institution has opened its first permanent North American home, christening the space over three nights with Solomun, Michael Bibi, and Black Coffee. The venue sits in the old Brooklyn Mirage footprint, and by all accounts the cherries made the journey intact. A big moment for the brand, and a significant one for New York's club landscape. Also on the Ibiza radar — 528 Ibiza is set to fall between worlds with its latest Brunch Electronik collaboration. Details are still emerging on that one, but the pairing of 528's otherworldly setting with the Brunch Electronik concept is one to watch. Nocturna's opening night is here, in collaboration with Xtra Isabella, with Mia Moretti and more on the bill. Season beginnings matter on this island, and Nocturna's arrival adds another strand to what's shaping up to be a strong summer. Davide Squillace has relaunched his independent imprint This And That Lab, marking the return with a new single called 'You Don't Know Me.' The relaunch ends what the announcement describes as a four-year hiatus for the label. Good to have it back. The track is excellent and should go a long way. Vince Watson has unveiled 'Eminesence – The Mixes' via Everysoul — a remix package built around his long-running deep house track, featuring reinterpretations from Cee ElAssaad, Atjazz, and Osunlade. Three strong names on that one. Arthur Oskan has released a new album called 'Analog Sympathiser' — described as a deeply personal record exploring thirty years of analogue synthesis, vintage gear restoration, and creative exploration. Oskan notes he was seventeen when the journey began. It's out now via Decoded Mag's radar. mölly and Mees Salomé have delivered their first-ever collaboration, a track called 'transmission,' out on Colorize. A deeply emotive melodic house cut. First collabs are always interesting — this one sounds like it landed well. Alex Albrecht features in a premiere for 'Too Much Traffic,' part of the first LP release from Pintai — a record label and wholesome get-together. The nine-track double twelve-inch marks a milestone for the imprint after two years and four releases, with contributions from a range of artists alongside Albrecht. Larry Heard has a new album out called 'Leev Ur Ynd,' with Kris Needs taking a deep dive into it this month. Zipping through time and space, as the write-up puts it — which feels about right for Mr. Fingers. Festival news from Europe. Sonora returns to Bordeaux on October 16th and 17th, 2026, at the city's Parc des Expositions, with Nina Kraviz, Klangkuenstler, Hysta, and Kuko confirmed. Dream Nation 2026 has announced a new wave of names for its Halloween edition, including never-before-seen B2Bs and world premiere shows. Infected Mushroom, Pendulum, and Angerfist are all on the bill. And Paradise City 2026 has confirmed its lineup, built — as the festival puts it — across the different cultures of the dancefloor. Richie Hawtin, Floating Points, SHERELLE, and Marlon Hoffstadt are among the names. Solid case for its place among Europe's most respected electronic music events. oK NOW, what's good in biza today, our selection is John Summit presenting Experts Only at Universe alongside MK, Kilimanjaro B2B with TSHA, and Mesto. Amnesia is running Kettama presents Steel City, with DJ Heartstring, X-Coast B2B with Tommy Holohan, and Amy Wiles. Hï has Francis Mercier presenting Solèy, Sébastien Léger B2B with Roy Rosenfeld, Andrea Oliva, LP Giobbi, and Nandu. Out at Las Dalias, Akasha brings DJ Pippi, Willie Graff, and Raven Mandella.

Friday, June 26th 2026. I'm your host Ben D-M-Z. From Ibiza, this is Pocomucho Daily. Marco Carola pulled off one of the most talked-about moments of the Ibiza season last Saturday at Pacha's Flower Power night. The artist synonymous with driving Minimal and Tech-House completely stepped away from that world and entered a different musical universe entirely — a striking departure from the sound that defines his Music On residency. Safe to say, no one saw that coming. MANUMISSION is teasing more secrets ahead of its long-awaited return to Ibiza. Details are still emerging, but the legendary party's comeback is clearly building momentum. Over to Paris — the Techno Parade is back, and this year's edition has a big theme. The association Technopol has announced it's dedicating its 2026 return to Detroit, the birthplace of techno. After more than two years of absence, the parade rolls through the streets of Paris on September 19th. Mark it down. HAAi is moving fast. Less than a year after releasing HUMANiSE in 2025, the Australian producer and DJ has announced a brand new album called DIGITiSE, due October 9th on Mute. A lead single of the same name is already out. The project apparently started as a remix of HUMANiSE but took on a life of its own during the creative process. Tomorrowland is expanding its Shanghai festival into a two-day experience this October. It's the third edition of the China event, and clearly the appetite is there to grow it. A fifteen-year mystery has been solved. Irish-Swedish singer-songwriter Jenny Lindfors has revealed she was the anonymous vocalist on Avicii's unreleased track Enough Is Enough. The song has been beloved by fans for years — now they finally know who was behind it. Tresor has announced the return of Büro Siebzig at Globus for a nine-week summer programme. Expect live performance, artistic experimentation and community gathering — the series opens with a run of performances. Berlin doing what Berlin does. Fusion Festival is happening for the 27th time in 2026, and booker Karo has been talking about what that looks like — 700 acts, no headliner pressure, and apparently some intense heat in front of the tower stage. Mad Max fantasies included. On the music side, 11:68PM is back with a five-track EP called Make Me on his own Craft Services label, hot off the back of his first release there. And Dyzen has a new track out called Messy on Mind Against's HABITAT imprint — premiering via Inverted Audio. Also, Parker Gordon is going full disco on his House Heads debut. Plenty to dig into this weekend. Right, what's on tonight and through the weekend in Ibiza. Tonight at Pacha it's Music On with Marco Carola, Franky Rizardo, Ilario Alicante and Luciano. Also tonight, Akasha hosts C.R.A.F.T. Ibiza presents Bedrock with John Digweed. And Woomoon is at Cova Santa with Damian Lazarus. Tomorrow night, ANTS brings Eats Everything to Ushuaïa, while Flower Power at Pacha has Roger Sanchez and Nic Fanciulli. Claptone's The Masquerade lands at Chinois with Deep Dish, Diego San Diego and Jack Tennis. Sunday is stacked — Universe has Carl Cox, WhoMadeWho in hybrid mode, Ben Sterling and Anna Tur. Solomun goes all night long at Pacha. Pyramid at Amnesia features Nina Kraviz, Richie Hawtin, Adrian Mills and Amelie Lens. And out at Playa Soleil, it's the Bora Bora Opening Party from NuSun with Hernán Cattáneo on an extended set, Guti live, Lum and Bohem live. A serious weekend.

Thursday, June 25th, 2026. I'm your host Ben D-M-Z. From Ibiza, this is Pocomucho Daily. Music On at Pacha on June 19th delivered what many Ibiza nights promise but few actually pull off — a fully realised dancefloor experience. Marco Carola's long-running night combined a heavyweight lineup with a packed room and a carefully constructed musical arc that's being called one of the most complete club experiences of the summer so far. Sad news from Berlin. Bob Young, the man behind 90 Grad and GMF, has passed away. Young was a defining force in queer nightlife in 1990s Berlin, shaping spaces that became genuinely important to the city's club culture. In Paris, J.A.W Family is marking twenty years, and co-founder Thomas Vermynck has been speaking about what's kept the collective grounded across two decades. His framing says a lot: the goal, he says, has always been to honour and celebrate the music and the artists rather than claim them for themselves. Over in the UK, Campo Sancho Festival has announced its full lineup for its ninth edition, returning to Walkern Hall in Hertfordshire from the 23rd to the 26th of July. The boutique event from London underground pioneers Sancho Panza has quietly built one of the more distinctive spots in the UK festival landscape, and founders Jim Angell and Matt Brown have been talking DIY culture and what makes the thing tick. A premiere worth your ears — George Privatti has put his hands on Sanchez UK's track Duro for the Time Bandits label, and by all accounts he goes hard on it. Name of the remix, name of the approach. Now what's going on in ibiza today. Over at Ushuaïa, HUGEL kicks off his Make The Girls Dance Special, joined by AMÉMÉ, Grossomoddo b2b Solto, and Coco & Breezy. The night then moves to Hï where the same Make The Girls Dance banner continues with HVMZA, Marten Lou, Sam Blacky, and Miss Monique. At Pacha, 50 Cent live — one of those ones you don't see every week. Destino Five goes daytime from five until eleven with Marco Carola presenting Music On Daytime alongside Loco Dice, East End Dubs, and Frank Storm. Amnesia hosts blk., Dart b2b Kyle Starkey, Datsko, Hannah Laing, and Natte Visstick b2b Vieze Ask. Club Chinois runs a Defected Night with DJ EZ, Hannah Wants, James Poole, Murphy's Law, and Phill de Janeiro. Cova Santa has Gala by Ibán Mendoza with Hosh, Ibán Mendoza, Audera, and Julia. O Beach brings Todd Edwards, Wideboys, and Beyond Chicago among others. And at Akasha over at Las Dalias garden, Queen Omega & The Royal Souls headline alongside Damiano von Erckert and DJ Schowi. It is Solid Groove at DC 10 with Chris Stussy, Delilah, Gennaro, Kidoo, Michael BIBI, Haai, Trauma & SG Lewis among others. Tomodachi has Chemarea, Dan Andrei, JP and Mandoiu That's it for today.

Wednesday, June 24th, 2026. I'm your host Ben D-M-Z. From Ibiza, this is Pocomucho Daily. Tonight's island is stacked, and we'll get to that shortly — but first, the news. Seth Troxler has announced a 35-track VA compilation called *He Ain't Here*, coming through his Slacker 85 label on July 1st. The tracklist reads like a serious roll call: Skream, Hiroko Yamamura, Krystal Klear, Marc Houle, Audion, Jonny Rock, and Troxler himself all feature. In his own words, the record is "protest — from fight songs to moments of joy." One to mark in the calendar. [STORY BREAK] Eddie Leader is celebrating 20 years of Hudd Traxx with a new compilation featuring twenty all-new tracks. The UK house label has pulled together a formidable lineup for the occasion — Chez Damier, Jovonn, Cinthie, Seven Davis Jr., DJ Sneak among them. Two decades deep and the identity is clearly intact. [STORY BREAK] Tresor has announced the return of Büro Siebzig, with a nine-week summer programme landing in the Globus room. The series focuses on live performance, artistic experimentation, and community gathering, opening with a run of performances. Berlin doing what Berlin does. [STORY BREAK] Chris Lake has moved 55,000 tickets across five sold-out June shows — a weekend at Los Angeles State Historic Park and a three-night takeover in New York City. Big numbers for the summer run. [STORY BREAK] Over in Brooklyn, DJ Mag has paid a visit to The Illustrious Blacks at home. The duo have long made it their mission to carry a message of liberation, freedom, and togetherness — not just through music but through their entire aesthetic. Worth a read if you want something a little deeper than a standard artist profile. [STORY BREAK] Traxsource is rolling out transparency labels across its platform, marking music as either human-made or AI-assisted — and fully AI-generated music is being removed entirely. A notable move from one of the key digital stores in the underground space. [STORY BREAK] Author Matthew Collin — whose definitive book on ecstasy and dance culture, *Altered State*, has a new edition out now — has charted the history of MDMA's relationship to music through thirteen tracks. If you've never read *Altered State*, consider this your prompt. [STORY BREAK] And B 018, the legendary Beirut club that opened buried in the city's industrial wasteland on April 18th, 1998, is getting its story retold. One of clubbing's genuinely mythic spaces — the piece traces how it came back. [STORY BREAK] Now, what's on tonight. Ushuaïa kicks off with Tomorrowland presenting Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, joined by Timmy Trumpet and Yves V. Universe has Jamie Jones back to back with The Martinez Brothers alongside Cloonee, Richy Ahmed, and more — that's a proper Paradise night. Pacha goes with BLOND:ISH presenting Abracadabra. Hï has Meduza and James Hype co-headlining their Our House event with Magdalena, Olympe, and Zamna Soundsystem in the mix. Cova Santa hosts Rumors with Guy Gerber, Agoria, Wolfram, and Carla Sjølund back to back with Tizia. Eden runs 23 Degrees with Hodge and Main Phase. Playa Soleil brings Sunwaves Ibiza to the island, featuring Ion Ludwig live. And over at Akasha in Las Dalias, Namaste hosts with Sylvia Opere, Aleks Sputnik, and Boho. That's it for today.

Tuesday, June 23rd, 2026. I'm your host Ben D-M-Ze. From Ibiza, this is Pocomucho Daily. Purple Disco Machine has been forced to pause his tour until mid-July due to severe ear issues. That has implications for his residency at Pacha Ibiza — though no specific dates have been confirmed as cancelled yet, it's worth checking before you make any plans around him. Swedish House Mafia are locked in for Sunday daytime duties at Ushuaïa this season. Over in Amsterdam, TILLATEC — the club that took over the legendary De School location back in 2024 — is closing its doors after two and a half years. Big news from Traxsource. From July 1st, the house music download platform will introduce Human-Made and AI-Assisted labels across its catalogue, following the publication of their official position on AI music. A practical and transparent move — and one the wider industry will be watching closely. Sam Farsio has landed on Dubfire's SCI+TEC imprint with a two-track EP called Champion Sound. The release is an homage to the golden era of progressive house, with the title track as its centrepiece. Marco Weber is back with a new house cut called Lola, appearing on Sublease Music as part of their Fragments 02 compilation. Lee Foss and ERASR have linked up for a track called Party Monster, out on Repopulate Mars. Sammy Virji is heading to New York next month for a two-night takeover at Brooklyn Army Terminal, presented by EMW and The Bowery. Global Underground's Australian tour has wrapped, and by all accounts it was a landmark run. Sasha, Danny Howells, James Zabiela and John Pappa all featured across sold-out shows across several states. And from Bavaria, Decent Rides are building a reputation as one of the most exciting underground duos to come out of the region. Blending deep house, techno, jazz, disco and hip-hop into their own sound, they've been releasing through respected labels including Quintesse, and are now also running their own imprint, Interloot Records. ok now, what's on tonight in Ibiza. At Ushuaïa, Ozuna plays live. At Universe, Anyma presents his ÆDEN show alongside Prospa and Mano Le Tough. Pacha has Vintage Culture headlining with Franky Rizardo, Omri and Jessica Brankka. Hï hosts East End Dubs presenting Eastenderz, with Mason Collective, M-High and Paco Osuna. Amnesia goes deep with Do Not Sleep — Luuk van Dijk, Locky b2b with Job de Jong. At 528 in Pikes, it's Detroit Love with Carl Craig and Moodymann sharing the bill alongside Flo Real and Ryan O'Gorman — that's DEFINITELY the one tonight. Cova Santa has PIV Ibiza with Josh Butler, Hardsoul and Ellia Jaya. Chinois has the Anjunadeep night with Eli & Fur and James Grant. Akasha hosts Borealis with Nico Stojan, Anstascia and Sulka. And Tomodachi welcomes Mathew Jonson with Real Gang alongside EVGHENINA. That's it for today. Although hand curated, this episode is AI-powered.

Monday, June 22nd, 2026. I'm your host Ben D-M-Ze. From Ibiza, this is Pocomucho Daily. Appetite are back at Chinois Ibiza for a four-date Tuesday residency running July 7th through the 28th — that's four Tuesdays in a row from the party crew and label who've been holding it down there three years running. They came through the IMS Dalt Vila collaboration and afterparty takeover earlier this spring, and now they're back for what promises to be another strong summer run. Weekly lineups have been revealed and includes among founders Elliot Schooling & Liam Palmer, Hot Since 82, Groove Armada, Skream, Luuk Van Dijk, & Laidlaw. Houghton Festival has dropped its 2026 lineup, and among the first-timers this year are CCL, livwutang, and Gabrielle Kwarteng — three names making their Houghton debut this summer. Always worth watching who gets their first invitation to that particular party. The Rave Preservation Project is growing. The digital archive has now passed 40,000 items — flyers, posters, artwork, the physical record of rave culture — and they've expanded with a new directory and discovery tools to help people actually find their way through it. If you've ever wanted to fall down a rabbit hole of rave history, the tools are apparently getting better. Bae Bae makes her Planet Mu debut with an EP called *Gauze*, and there's real weight behind it. The record was made in response to the ongoing crisis in Gaza, drawing on her own productions alongside real-world recordings from Palestine. The lead track is called 'Still Believe.' Gareth Emery has launched a new label called Emotional Intelligence Records, and he's been very deliberate about one thing: no AI. The label launches under his LSR/CITY project with a debut single called 'Burn It Down.' Human-only. Records of the week come from Fantastic Man on Axis of People, Forest Drive West on Delsin, Marco Passarani on Studiomaster, Moodymann on Defected, and Sepehr on Kapsela. A strong spread across the spectrum this week. A few more releases to flag: Eikenhead — the Ecuadorian producer and DJ — drops his *Eikenworks 10* EP on July 1st, pulling from the UK electronic tradition, peak-hour house and 90s UK synths. David Morales and Tiger Wilson have linked up on a soulful house cut called 'Cravin',' blending classic NYC grooves with gospel-rooted vocals. Emanuel Satie has a late-night new one on Crosstown Rebels. And Lee Foss teams up with ERASR for 'Party Monster' on Repopulate Mars. Now, what's on tonight.

[STORY BREAK] James Curd is also in the spotlight this week, sitting down with Decoded Magazine to discuss Pixar, GTA, and the long game of house music. Curd is one of those names that carries real weight in the scene — the kind of artist who's been doing it right for a long time without needing to shout about it. [STORY BREAK] And for the collectors — a new photobook called Movements of the Visionaries documents Tangerine Dream between 1972 and 1974, 320 pages covering the early years of the legendary Berlin electronic group. A proper coffee table piece for anyone with a serious interest in where this music came from.

[STORY BREAK] Body Movements 2026 has expanded its lineup with two new additions making their festival debut: Horse Meat Disco and House Gospel Choir. The London queer festival continues to draw from the deep well of community-rooted nightlife culture that the city does so well. [STORY BREAK] On the premieres front — Greg Ochman delivers a remix of DRAV's 'Morning' on Sketches; Yamil and Martin HERRS reach for an emotional high on a new release for Renaissance; and Oliver Huntemann cranks up the pressure with 'Brutal' on Senso Sounds. Three to queue up. [STORY BREAK] Right, what's on tonight in Ibiza. At Universe, FISHER headlines alongside Joshua — that one's going to be loud.

Wednesday, June 17th, 2026. I'm your host Ben D-M-Z. From Ibiza, this is Pocomucho Daily. Ibiza authorities are threatening DJs with permanent booking bans following a large-scale illegal villa rave on the island. Officials are announcing tougher measures against unauthorised events — and a lifetime ban from performing is about as serious as it gets. Consider this a very loud warning shot. [STORY BREAK] Also on the island, UNIVERSE — the hyperclub — is facing fresh debates around capacity limits and legal challenges. Details are still emerging, but it's clear the venue continues to attract scrutiny as much as attention. [STORY BREAK] FUSE has released stage splits and back-to-back pairings for their 528 Ibiza dates.

It's available in 27 languages and accessible at deezer.com/explore/ai-music-detector. The company frames it as part of a broader push for transparency in streaming. [STORY BREAK] Moog in Barcelona is officially celebrating 30 years of clubbing. Small room, low ceilings, legendary sound — thirty years of that is worth acknowledging.

The New York house legend is set to headline LoveJuice at O Beach Ibiza on Monday the 29th of June. Poolside, San Antonio, one of the genre's genuine all-timers. That one should be good. [STORY BREAK] A strong remix package is incoming for Galcher Lustwerk.

And secondly, New York's Wild Dark and Dutch producer Ariaano have teamed up again for a remix of Kokoro's Limits, out on Brooklyn's Beats On Time. Peak time, hypnotic, and built for the late hours — their words, and from what we've heard, they're not wrong. [STORY BREAK] Now let's go out, what's on tonight in Ibiza? At UNiVeRS, Anyma presents ÆDEN with Mind Against, Stephan Bodzin live, and Pacs. Ushuaïa has Ozuna live.

Monday, June 15th, 2026. I'm your host Ben D-M-Z. from Ibiza this is Pocomucho Daily.

[STORY BREAK] Keep On Dancing made a statement with the launch of El Baile Pop at Teatro Pereyra on Saturday.

The Romanian-Canadian artist brings her trademark energy to Adam Beyer's imprint — always a statement placement.

Wednesday, June 10th, 2026. I'm your host Ben D-M-Z. From Ibiza, his is Pocomucho the Daily. One Ibiza stories to kick things off. The Ibiza Global Festival 2026 full line-up has been revealed with among others : Deep Dish, R3hab, and Patrick Topping. Carl Cox has confirmed a DJ set at Croatia's Cave Romane, the ancient 2,000-year-old quarry venue that's become one of the most dramatic settings in European clubbing. Amelie Lens is set to headline the same venue earlier in the summer. Meanwhile, the Carl Cox Invites series is extending its reach into the autumn, with Milano lined up for a massive summer closing as the season winds down after its September peak. Thomas Bangalter dropped a surprise set at Brooklyn's Lot Radio — one hour fifteen minutes, weaving in cuts from his Mirage project alongside Burial and Aphex Twin, and closing the whole thing out with Daft Punk's Contact. No announcement, no build-up. Just Bangalter doing Bangalter things. Prospa have released their debut album Free Your Mind on CircoLoco Records — making it the label's first ever full-length release. That's a significant moment for a label that's been one of the more consistent forces in underground house and techno. No Bounds Festival has revealed its line-up for the 2026 edition — the ninth — taking place October 9th to 11th across ten venues between Sheffield and Rotherham, Healiners includes Max Cooper, Blawan, Mala and Oppidan. Madonna has released Confessions II — The Film, a 14-minute short threading together six tracks from her upcoming album. The cast includes Honey Dijon, Cole Palmer, Arca, and a range of actors, musicians, models and artists. Worth a watch. On the remix front, Rocco Rodamaal has turned Fiona Kraft's Dreams into something built for the late hours — out now on her label NON MERCI MUSIC. And finally, the phone ban debate is back. A Grammy-winning musician — returning from a three-year break — has announced a fully phone-free arena tour.

John Summit launched his Experts Only residency at UNIVERS Ibiza, and FUSE has dropped its line-ups for three consecutive Sundays at 528 Ibiza. Both are worth keeping a close eye on as the season heats up. Over in Manchester, a new event series called Escapism is launching this October, debuting at Victoria Baths on the 10th. It's being described as a grown-up, immersive daytime experience, and it opens with Deep Dish. Victoria Baths is a genuinely stunning space, so that one has real potential. On new music — Kapuchon, also known as Afrojack, has dropped another excellent track on Hot Creations. It's called Secret Moves. Worth your time. Refraction Records has a new EP incoming from Havsmörker called Ilväder. The lead track premiering now is Nordanväderslyckan — a name taken from an old Scandinavian word — and the record is described as steeped in the atmosphere of the Nordic coastline. Minneapolis marked ten years since Prince's passing last week, with thousands of fans travelling from around the world for the 10th Anniversary Prince Celebration at Paisley Park, running June 3rd through 7th. Five days of tribute to one of music's most singular figures. And finally, The Dancefloor Archive has been doing the quiet work of documenting club culture at a time when a night out is more likely to be remembered through fifteen-second clips than anything lasting. An interesting read if you care about how this scene gets remembered. Although hand curated, this episode is AI-powered.

it's Friday, June 5th, 2026. I'm your host Ben D-M-Z. from Ibiza this is Pocomucho Daily---Starting with music, and a couple of reviews worth your attention. Out today, GiGi FM drops a new single-EP called *Shelter Our Time*. Also a new album from Beatrice M. titled *Sinking* — an albums-category release, so a fuller body of work to dig into there.On the more leftfield side of things, a posthumous collaborative record from Lee "Scratch" Perry and German electronic duo Mouse on Mars has surfaced — titled *Spatial, No Problem.* The record draws on the late dub pioneer's voice, and by all accounts it lifts the project to what's being described as an eerie kind of joy. Over in the world of house, Solardo have landed on Defected with a new release called "Forever," which dropped on May 22nd. It's their first original for the label, and it deepens a relationship that started when the Manchester duo played Defected's Pacha Ibiza residency in 2025. A couple of premieres worth flagging. Kamil Ghaouti has a track called "Loose" — notable because after more than eleven years of releasing music, this is the first time Ghaouti has put his own voice on one of his records. Also premiering today, a Mac Seldom remix of Nathan Fake's "Hypercube," drawn from Fake's album *Evaporator*, released on InFiné back in February. Finally Before we wrap up, here's what defined the week in dance music.Two stories stood out this week for what they say about the direction of the scene. First, Pacha New York is officially opening in Brooklyn later this month — the iconic brand framing it as a new era of nightlife. That's a bold statement, and Brooklyn is the right city block to back it up. Second, Germany to recognise nightclubs as cultural venues under new planning reforms. The new legislation would better protect clubs against predatory real estate developers, rising rent costs, and evictions---Although hand curated, this episode is AI-powered.
