Running for 17 Fridays from 13 June to 3 October, Galactic Circus transforms the venue into a hypnotic universe where dreamers, rebels, and voyagers unite.

On the outer rim of the galaxy, hidden from civilization, David Guetta first discovered a secret haven for renegades, where he built an alternative utopia. Now, he has powered this world for summer 2025, bathing it in vibrant lights and colour, creating an electric haven for those who dare to enter.

This is nightlife without limits, a place where those who feel the pull will find their way. With Galactic Circus, David Guetta embarks on his most ambitious Ibiza residency yet, cementing [UNVRS] as the definitive destination for forward-thinking electronic music experiences in 2025.

“Ibiza is my home and I’ve been playing here for many years, at almost every club on the island. After all the unforgettable moments I’ve experienced with the people at my F*** Me I’m Famous!*, BIG, and Future Rave residencies, I was thinking it was time to create something new. UNVRS is definitely the right place for that. I’m so excited and proud to present Galactic Circus!

I haven’t felt this inspired by a new live concept in a long time. Galactic Circus is the result of complete creative freedom, pushing boundaries in ways that simply wouldn’t be possible anywhere else. The fusion of my music, art, and technology comes together in a way that makes this residency truly one-of-a-kind. I can’t wait to unveil this extraordinary experience to the world.”

Adding his thoughts on the latest addition to [UNVRS]‘ talent roster, The Night League and Ushuaïa Entertainment Owner, Founder and CEO Yann Pissenem, mentions:

Thanks to Yann Pissenem and The Night League team, my dream has now become my reality! I will play 13 Thursdays at HÏ and have been building an amazing line-up of supporting artists: legends and new generational talent. I look forward to seeing you all in Ibiza from June 26!”

Exclusive Interview With DJ & Producer Alden Song

Alden Song photo by Paez

Alden Song has been steadily making his mark on the Electronic Music scene, drawing on a background rich in cultural influences and experiences that stretch from New York’s iconic nightlife to the creative energy of Los Angeles.

In this exclusive interview, Alden opens up about how his environment, personal style, and evolving musical tastes continue to shape his work. From collaborations and remixes to moments of creative inspiration and future ambitions, he offers an insightful look into the mindset and processes behind his music today.

Check out the full interview below!

Hi Alden, how are you doing?

Hey guys I’m doing well! Thanks for having me.

You’ve had a diverse journey in music, how do you think your experiences outside of music, like your time in NYC, have influenced your sound today?

My music is a representation of myself! NYC is near and dear to my heart, so it definitely plays a role in how my music sounds. NYC has an incredible nightlife and bustling House music scene, so being a part of that has shaped my music into what it is. Also, things like art, culture, and people inspire me.

When it comes to crafting your tracks, how do you balance your personal style with the musical influences you draw from?

I like to release House and Tech House tracks that work on the dance floor. But I listen to all genres of music outside of EDM. So, I like to incorporate different elements into my music based on what I find inspiring. That’s what’s great about House music, when done well, other styles of music can work great.

What’s your typical creative process when starting a new track? Do you start with a specific idea in mind, or do you let the track evolve naturally?

I usually have an idea of the type of song I want to create when sitting down in the studio. I like to start with the drums because I believe that is the foundation of any House song. Then I make a solid bassline to solidify the groove. Most of the time this is how I start a track, and it gives me a great platform to build the rest of the track. But sometimes the ideas just flow and the idea I started with might not be where I end up!

How have your musical influences shifted over the years? Are there any new artists or genres that have inspired you recently?

When I got into DJing, I was playing a lot of Big Room. The EDM greats like Martin Garrix really inspired me. But as I moved forward my tastes changed, and I’m very into Underground House and Tech House. LA has a very different scene to NYC so going out to clubs and underground parties has been incredible.

Collaboration is a key part of any creative process; how do you choose who to work with, and what’s your approach to bringing your unique sound into a collaborative project?

I’ve been working with a bunch of singers lately and it’s a lot of fun. So far, it’s been with friends and people I know in the music industry. Sometimes half of the session is just us talking about music! But when listening to singers, I usually think to myself, “would they sound cool on a dance track?” Also, I just love making music, even if we’re just messing around.

When you remix a track, what’s your process for making it your own while staying true to the essence of the original?

Depending on the vocal, I like going 1 of 2 ways. A club banger that’ll get everyone dancing, or a sing-along that is a bit more melodic. I love making both styles and it depends on the vocalist and style of the original. I’m very good at taking existing vocals and creating music that compliments it.

How do you stay motivated during times when you experience creative blocks? Are there particular techniques or rituals you turn to?

A great analogy I like is that imagine you’re a surfer. Sometimes you show up and there are waves, sometimes there are not. You just need to keep showing up. I’m paraphrasing but the point is you just need to keep showing up and creating. Sometimes you’ll make cool stuff and sometimes you won’t!

Outside of music, what are some of your other influences, whether it’s art, fashion, or other forms of culture, that shape your creative process and sound?

I love anything involving fashion, film, and art. These forms of art serve as inspiration for my music. Of course, I listen to music and go to shows to get inspiration, but I also get inspired after watching a movie or making a really cool outfit before I go out. It’s all forms of expression and I love that. Music is the soundtrack to our lives.

With Electronic music always evolving, where do you see your sound heading in the next few years? Are there any new directions you’re excited to explore?

I still see myself making the style of music I am now. However, I want to play bigger shows and collaborate with other big artists. It’s my dream to become a touring artist who works with talented musicians. I love learning and soaking up new ideas, so I think that has something to do with my evolution as an artist. I can also see myself extending into other art forms such as fashion and film, but definitely later down the line.

You’ve mentioned in the past that your music is inspired by both House and Tech House. Are there other genres you’d like to experiment with in the future? What does your dream collaboration look like?

Yeah, I would love to dip my toes in a plethora of other genres. I’m a really creative person so extending into other artists’ worlds as I work with them is something I’m excited to explore.

It’s something I’m already experiencing living here in LA because there are so many talented people and I’m getting involved in some Pop, Hip Hop, RnB, Afro House, and even some Dubstep stuff! I would say my dream collab would be someone like John Summit or a curveball like Pharell.

As Alden Song continues to evolve as both a DJ and Producer, his commitment to pushing creative boundaries and staying true to his influences remains at the heart of his work.With an openness to experimentation, a love for collaboration, and aspirations to explore his approach, his journey surely remains on an exciting path.

So, as we wrap up our interview, we thank him for his time and look forward to seeing what lies ahead for Alden: emerging as a talent not to miss, make sure to keep up with him and his upcoming releases and projects by following him across social media today.

Loco Dice teams up with The Martinez Brothers and Trinidad James for ‘Juice’

Loco Dice & Martinez Brothers

German DJ and producer Loco Dice endeavours to push boundaries of both house and techno while staying true to his hiphop origins and returns with his newest single ‘Juice’, out now on Virgin Records.

Following up the success of his recent release ‘Ice Cold Dealer‘ featuring German rap-legend Haftbefehl. Known for redefining genres and elevating the dancefloor experience, Loco Dice delivers another dynamic release.

Loco Dice and The Martinez Brothers are set to celebrate their collaboration at Miami Music Week as they close Space on March 27th. As a major highlight of their year, the duo will also perform back-to-back on the Quasar stage at Coachella.

Juice‘ kicks off with a driving bassline, seamlessly blending Loco Dice and The Martinez Brothers‘ signature techno fusion with Trinidad James‘ distinctive hip-hop influence. This powerhouse collaboration showcases Trinidad James’ iconic vocals, adding a unique edge to the track. The single will be featured on Loco Dice‘s highly anticipated upcoming album ‘Purple Jam‘, marking a monumental chapter in his career. Starting today, the album is available for pre-order.

The Martinez Brothers are two of the most consistent and recognizable names in the world of house and techno. Born and raised in New York, the brothers were introduced to disco and house music by their father from a young age. Their lean, club-focused productions have earned them global acknowledgement, from their break out track ‘H2 Da Izzo‘ in 2012 to their 2023 release ‘PFW‘.

In addition to their own music, they are the proud founders of their label, Cuttin’ Headz. Now, The Martinez Brothers are returning to the studio, bringing forth a massive new collaboration that will dominate dance floors worldwide.

Loco Dice comments on the collaboration with The Martinez Brothers:

“The first time I heard and saw them, it felt like they were my little nephews. It was as if we’d grown up in the same neighborhood – even though the Bronx is a world away from Flingern. The swag, the music, the history… we learned from the best, and now we’re here to pass it on to the next generation. Our back-to-back sets are always full of laughs, cracked jokes, and digging up rare tracks ripped straight from wax”.

Trinidad James reflects on the collaboration: “Every song is a Roll of the Dice, but if you can make the people dance , feel good or GO LOCO, we did our job….”
