Superstar DJ, Producer and label owner, Solomun will return to Destino Five Ibiza this summer for four open-air appearances as part of Pacha ICONS, the flagship event series hosted at the luxury hilltop resort overlooking the Mediterranean.
The performances run alongside his long-standing Solomun +1 Sunday residency at Pacha Ibiza, extending his presence across both the club and outdoor stages that continuously shape the island’s clubbing culture.
Solomun‘s return to Pacha ICONS follows his closing performance for the series last season, which brought the 2025 program at Destino Five Ibiza to a memorable end.
The event series has grown into the open-air counterpart to Pacha‘s club programming, presenting globally celebrated artists in daytime and sunset settings that blend the atmosphere of the resort with Ibiza’s wider nightlife culture.
Solomun Outdoor
Guests staying at Destino Five Ibiza receive complimentary access to all Pacha ICONS events, creating a seamless connection between the luxury resort and the performances unfolding across its outdoor stage.
The format offers a refreshing vantage point on the island’s dance music culture, shifting the experience from the intimacy of the late night club floor to the crisp winds and openness of Ibiza‘s hillside setting.
The new dates arrive during a period of ongoing activity for Solomun. Alongside the announcement of this year’s Solomun +1 residency at Pacha Ibiza starting May 31st and his Parisian take over at L’Hippodrome De Vincennes that will take place on June 13th, the past year has seen him move between club residencies, headline festival sets, and large-scale standalone performances, including sold out appearances at venues such as Alexandra Palace in London.
His studio output has continued together with his touring schedule, highlighted by his more recent remix of Nina Simone‘s “Take Care of Business” and his new track “Kinesphere“, out on March 6th. The newly announced Destino appearances add an open-air dimension to his Ibiza season, building on his weekly +1 Sunday residency at Pacha.
Solomun‘s confirmed performances this year are set for:
June 11 July 16 July 30 August 27

R3HAB links with RHODES for the second single from his forthcoming album, delivering a polished blend of emotive pop and dancefloor warmth, while also sharing an unexpected message. “Right here…” explores the tension between uncertainty and presence, the vulnerability of facing change, and the fear that those around you might not stay through it all.
“Right here…” also presents a new facet in R3HAB‘s creative legacy. As the final chorus winds down, a voice note from R3HAB begins, like an excerpt from his journal: “You just want that moment to be on a loop, you want that feeling, you want that high, the whole, the whole time, but that high is almost like a drug.”
This unexpected addition expands the song’s scope from romantic uncertainty to a reflection on chasing temporary highs and searching for deeper connection.
R3HAB – Right here…
“Right here…” is a nostalgic and hopeful festival-ready single built on sweeping melodies and gently rolling synths. RHODES‘ aching vocal performance carries the emotional weight, longing for distant love while melancholic synth textures provide warmth and lift. The result is a smooth, sunlit crossover cut that balances radio accessibility with dancefloor sensibility.
Here’s what R3HAB had to say about the single:
“Right here…” is about feeling overwhelmed by uncertainty, and still trying to find peace in the present moment. It’s about holding onto what is real, even while everything else feels unstable.”
With this second taste of the upcoming album, R3HAB signals that “Dream inside a dream…” marks a shift: not only by curating the sound, but by stepping inside the narrative himself.
In a short space of time, Ian Asher has emerged as one of the most exciting young names in electronic music. Blending infectious energy with a sharp instinct for what works both online and on the dancefloor, the DJ and producer has been turning heads with his rapidly growing catalog of releases and increasingly packed live shows around the world.
When Rave Jungle caught up with Ian Asher, the conversation moved naturally from the early days of discovering electronic music to the adrenaline of performing for thousands of fans.
We spoke about the mindset behind crafting high-energy records, the lessons that come from touring globally, and how testing new ideas in front of a crowd continues to shape his sound.
From studio perfectionism to unforgettable festival moments, Asher gave us a deeper look into the creative world behind his music.
Check out the full interview below!
• What initially drew you to DJing, and at what point did it evolve from curiosity into something you knew you wanted to pursue seriously?
I’ve been obsessed with electronic music since I was about 10 or 11. I don’t really remember a time before imagining myself building a career around it, this has always been my dream. I’ve always chased after this.
• How has performing live more consistently influenced the way you approach arrangement or energy in your productions?
My music has always been high energy so I don’t see much difference between live and online. If you hear one of my tracks and love it, you should feel like jumping around in your room just like you would at one of my shows. That’s always the goal. So when I’m producing, I’m thinking about that physical reaction, and building around that.
• During periods of strong creative momentum, what does your day-to-day look like?
When I’m in that zone, I’m just fully locked in. I’ll be obsessing over structure, pitching a vocal up half an octave, stuttering it, cranking the bass to 11, just following whatever feels exciting in the moment. There’s no formula behind it. I just love what I love and dive deep into the details until it feels right.
• What excites you most about where dance music is headed right now?
There’s so much incredible music being made all over the world. It feels less like one perspective and more like a global conversation of new voices making dope things. Genres are blending, rules matter less, and people are just following instinct. I get to contribute to that conversation in my own way, that’s pretty sick.
• For someone seeing you perform live for the first time this year, what do you hope they walk away feeling?
I want it to feel raw and real. Just instinct, energy, and music that makes you move. If someone leaves feeling like they experienced something — not just heard a set, that’s everything.
• When a track performs exceptionally well online, how does that impact your creative mindset moving forward? Do you ever feel pressure to replicate success, or do you intentionally treat each release as its own world?
Of course there is a bit of internal pressure, but what makes a record great is that it is a new spontaneous idea. So while I learn a lot from success and having big records, I always remind myself to focus on what is new and exciting in the moment.
• What’s a musical influence that might surprise people, something not immediately obvious in your sound, but foundational to how you think about building records?
When I was growing up I listened to a lot of Michael Jackson. He is the king!
• Looking back, what has been your most memorable gig to date, and what about that experience still stands out to you?
My most memorable gig has to be Storm Festival Guangzhou. It’s a NYE festival in China that I played a few months ago and it was absolutely epic, I believe there were around 30,000 people there.
• At what point do you trust a track enough to test it live for the first time, and what are you listening for when you play it in front of a crowd?
I’m a perfectionist so I always try to push myself to play unfinished tracks even when I’m not totally comfortable playing them. There’s no set way of telling when something is ready, it’s much better to just dive in and play it.
• Outside of music, where do you find inspiration that feeds back into your creative process, whether visually, emotionally, or culturally?
It’s so great that I get to travel and tour around the world, outside of music that is where I get the majority of my inspiration.
• What’s a technical or behind-the-scenes skill you’ve focused on refining over the past year that listeners might not immediately recognize, but that’s had a major impact on your work?
When it comes to production definitely mixing. I’ve spent a lot of time learning how to properly mix records, and now I’m having a lot of fun breaking those rules intentionally to come up with new and exciting sounds.
• Have there been any clubs, events, or shows recently, either as a performer or as part of the crowd, that left a lasting impression on you?
I just had a show in San Francisco at Midway. I did it 360 and there were 2800 people making it my biggest headline yet. Totally unreal night!
Ian Asher
As the conversation wrapped up, one thing became clear:Asher’s rise is being driven by pure passion for the craft and the energy exchange between artist and crowd.
Whether he’s obsessing over the smallest production details in the studio or stepping in front of thousands of fans at a festival stage, the goal remains the same — creating music that sparks a genuine reaction.
With major shows, new releases, and a rapidly expanding global fanbase, Ian Asher’s journey is only gaining momentum. And if the intensity of his productions and performances is anything to go by, the dance music world will be hearing a lot more from him in the near future.
Claude VonStroke returns with “Static In The Deep End,” the first taste of his forthcoming album, Wrong Number – a misguided musical offering for anyone still chasing the feeling of a dark room, a proper sound system, and zero interest in what’s trending.
More than 20 years into his career, it has become clear that Claude never quite got the memo. “Static In The Deep End” contains no superstar DJ collaborations, no chart-ready vocal hooks, and absolutely no giant drum builds engineered for fireworks and cryo blasts. Instead, it drifts confidently in the opposite direction – engineered to provoke feelings instead of bottle service.
One can imagine Claude alone in the studio, obsessing over drums like it’s still the early 2000s, sampling himself, tweaking microscopic details no one asked for, then dancing around the room like a freak. The track leans into late-night energy – slightly crooked rhythms, patient tension, and grooves that don’t scream for attention but quietly pull you under.
Inspired by the spirit of long-lost German minimal and house labels, “Static In The Deep End” comfortably exists in its own lane. It’s hard to explain exactly what’s happening inside the record, but it’s obvious Claude is perfectly fine not playing the game. He’s more than happy to call the wrong number and have a conversation with something unfamiliar.
Claude VonStroke – Static In The Deep End
The result feels like a club track from another time – or maybe from a parallel universe where quality rules the day. One detail that makes Wrong Number even more insular and personal: nearly all of the vocals across the album come from inside the VonStroke household. Every sung phrase, vocal texture, and strange little grunt throughout the record is performed by Claude’s son, Jasper.
Jasper, currently in his second year at USC as a pop vocal major (one of just eight students accepted into the program from thousands of applicants), is also opening for Claude as a DJ on his U.S. tour this summer. Rather than chasing features or big-name collaborators, Claude kept the entire vocal palette in-house. It’s another “wrong” decision that feels exactly right – raw, personal, and free from expectation.
The single also marks the beginning of Claude’s current run of intentionally intimate shows across Japan and Europe. Small, sweaty rooms built for people who actually want to listen. Sometimes as few as 300 heads. Big paydays politely declined.
Claude may be dialing the wrong number for right now, but if you pick up, you might realize you’ve been missing this kind of call all along.
Listen and pre-order below!
Alongside the release, Claude is launching a run of intentionally intimate shows across the U.S., Japan, and Europe, focusing on small-capacity rooms and underground club culture rather than festival mainstages.

Betical return to Tomorrowland Music with their second release on the label, the hypnotic new single “Track Of Time.”
Formed by brothers Max and Martin, Betical have built a distinctive sonic identity flowing effortlessly between house, deep house and afro house, rooted in a lifelong connection to music. With previous releases on Afterlife, Siamese and Rose Avenue, the duo have steadily carved out a respected position within the global electronic scene.
Born around the energy of Tomorrowland Winter, “Track Of Time” carries the spirit of unforgettable days in the mountains. The choir voices were recorded in a chalet high up in the Alps, capturing a rare and intimate moment that gives the track its emotional lift.
Surrounded by snow, silence and shared inspiration, Betical channeled that unique atmosphere into a record about connection, light and timeless memories — warm, uplifting and made to be experienced together.
Betical – Track of Time
The single is already gaining strong momentum on dance floors worldwide, receiving notable support from Rüfüs Du Sol, who have been championing the track in their recent DJ sets. It follows the massive success of “Do It Again,” their first release on Tomorrowland Music, which became one of the most talked-about club records of 2025 and earned backing from leading tastemakers across the industry.
Betical previously made waves with their rework of “Back on 74,” the most played track at Burning Man 2024, supported by Keinemusik, Adriatique, Diplo, CamelPhat and Carlita. Their rising profile was further cemented when Rüfüs Du Sol invited them to remix “Levitating” on their latest album, highlighting the duo’s growing creative influence.
Later this March, Betical will bring their immersive sound back to Tomorrowland Winter, marking another key moment in their rapidly ascending journey.
With “Track Of Time,” Betical once again deliver a refined and emotive production that captures their evolving artistry while reinforcing their place among the most exciting acts in contemporary electronic music.
The sun is already shining and spring is in the air: Ibiza is calling. The Tomorrowland team, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, and Ushuaïa Ibiza are gearing up for a brand-new season on the White Isle, unveiling the first wave of artists set to ignite the summer.
As summer draws closer, Ushuaïa Ibiza unveils the first artists confirmed to join Tomorrowland and Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike for Planaxis, the spectacular Wednesday residency set to return to the iconic open-air venue from 6 May to 30 September, 2026.
Tomorrowland and Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike invite audiences to dive once again into the fascinating world of Planaxis, one of the most beloved themes in Tomorrowland‘s history. Inspired by The Story of Planaxis, the festival’s legendary underwater universe, Ushuaïa Ibiza‘s stage will be transformed into a mesmerizing oceanic realm created especially for the island.
Across 19 dates throughout the summer, the production will turn the venue into an immersive marine kingdom, where monumental stage design, striking visuals and a fully sensory atmosphere transport guests deep beneath the waves. Under the Mediterranean sun and carried by the sea breeze, the experience blends music, spectacle and collective energy into a truly unforgettable dancefloor journey.
Every Wednesday, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike will deliver their signature high-energy sound alongside a world-class international lineup, transforming Ushuaïa Ibiza into the ultimate Tomorrowland day-club experience. Twice crowned the World’s No.1 DJs by DJ Mag, the Belgian duo will headline a program bringing together some of the most influential names in global electronic music.
First artists confirmed for the 2026 season:

More artists and surprises will be announced soon.
Built around Mike’s signature piano-driven melodies and uplifting energy, “Multiply” blends infectious toplines with festival-ready production, uniting three distinct musical worlds into one powerful anthem.
The release marks another milestone for Mike Williams, whose breakthrough came with “Feel Good” alongside Felix Jaehn, followed by global streaming successes including “Lullaby” with R3hab (249M Spotify streams), “Wait Another Day” with Mesto (115M), and “The Beat” (84M).
Known for his recognizable melodic sound and dynamic live presence, Mike has performed at major festivals such as Tomorrowland Belgium, Ultra Miami and Mysteryland, and is set to bring that same high-energy performance to Tomorrowland Winter in France at the end of March.
With “Multiply,” Mike once again highlights the piano as the emotional foundation of his productions — a hallmark of his artistry since he first began playing at the age of four.
Mike Williams Bruno Martini and Stephen Puth – Multiply
At the same time, the collaboration shines a spotlight on Bruno Martini, one of the most innovative talents to emerge from Brazil’s thriving electronic music scene. With more than 2 billion Spotify streams and global hits such as “Hear Me Now” with Alok and Zeeba, Bruno has built an impressive international reputation through collaborations with artists like Timbaland and Sunnery James & Ryan Marciano, as well as remixes for Zedd, Alan Walker, Jason Derulo, Lady Gaga, J-Lo and Katy Perry.
A seasoned international touring DJ who has performed at events including EDC Las Vegas, Tomorrowland Belgium and Hï Ibiza, Bruno continues to push his sound forward while also nurturing new talent through his label Beeside.
Combined with Bruno Martini‘s refined production touch and Stephen Puth‘s distinctive vocals, “Multiply” delivers an uplifting message amplified by soaring melodies and euphoric drops. As both artists continue to tour globally and connect with millions of fans, the collaboration highlights the creative synergy between two influential forces in contemporary dance music.
DJ Snake unveils the full lineup for the return of his legendary event series, “Pardon My French”, making its Miami debut during Miami Music Week at Toe Jam XL on March 26th with promoter Phase 3.

The series then heads to France for two landmark summer events: June 27, 2026 at Matmut Stadium de Gerland in Lyon, and August 9, 2026 at Les Plages Électroniques in Cannes.
Together, these four dates mark a full-scale relaunch of Pardon My French across the U.S. and France, reaffirming its status as one of dance music’s most globally resonant and culturally progressive live concepts.

The four-day event brings a curated selection of underground house, tech and melodic electronic artists to one of the region’s most visually distinctive open-air venues.

Support across the weekend comes from Ace Brothers, Zoe Done, Pablo Panda, Mene, Moukaide and Elena Mikac, completing a line-up rooted in underground house, minimal, deep tech and melodic sounds.
A defining feature of the Gates of Agartha is it’s otherworldly location. Set within a 2,000-year-old limestone quarry that once supplied stone for the Pula Arena Romanamphitheatre, Cave Romane is defined by towering 50-metre rock walls and powerful natural acoustics. Located in the coastal village of Vinkuran near Pula, the site sits within Istria‘s historic landscape, a region often referred to locally as Terra Magica.
Founded by brothers Yalim and Yaaz Acar, creators of the Echoes From Agartha festival in Cappadocia, the project focuses on staging electronic music events in historically significant locations, transforming ancient landscapes into cinematic festival settings.
“Gates of Agartha was never meant to be just another festival,” say the founders. “Our vision has always been to create timeless moments where sound, history and community converge.”

Pan-Pot launched a new chapter for their long-standing imprint Second State with the arrival of PLANET1, a various artists transmission.
PLANET1 marks the first sonic broadcast from the Second State mothership in 2026 with four tracks, four precision-engineered weapons, one coordinated disturbance in the known dancefloor continuum. It’s less a VA, more a map to somewhere stranger.
Pan-Pot open the portal with ‘Altered State’, a track designed to scramble the border patrols of consciousness. Built for rooms without clocks and crowds that don’t blink, it doesn’t play fair – it bends reality until it sweats.
Pan-Pot – PLANET1
Emerging Indian producer Stoked has steadily carved a name through driving, peak-time techno and releases on respected underground imprints. On ‘Splintercell’, he delivers a stealth-tech weapon forged in digital shadow – a precise, high-impact cut that infiltrates, slices through perception, and vanishes before the smoke machine can catch up.
Mexican DJ/producer Redraft Memories is known for atmospheric, emotionally-charged techno that bridges melody with power, earning support across Europe’s underground circuit. Teaming up with Spanto, a rising force in the Italian scene recognized for his energetic, groove-driven selections, ‘Elevate’ arrives like a hypnosis device disguised as a club track.
Berlin-based artist Victoria Engel crafts deeply textured electronic music shaped by cinematic tension and late-night introspection. Her debut on Second State, ‘Unfolded Memory’, feels like a prophecy whispered through a laser grid – dangerous and engineered for bodies in motion.
Composed of Tassilo Ippenberger and Thomas Benedix, Pan-Pot have spent over a decade shaping global techno through Second State, nurturing both established heavyweights and the next wave of uncompromising talent. With PLANET1, they initiate a new compilation series that extends the label’s future-facing vision: raw and unapologetically built for the floor.
With PLANET1, Pan-Pot have entered a new era for Second State, they invite the dancefloor to step into the unknown.
