Pocomucho Daily

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. Black Coffee at Hï with Black Coffee with Henrik Schwarz, Fiona Kraft and Skepta . ANTS invites The Martinez Brothers at Ushuaïa.

Sunday, Carl Cox at UNIVERSE. Hï welcomes CAMELPHAT and his Summer Of Love along with Tiga and Volkoder. But the winner is Cocoon at Amnesia with Sven Väth, Richie Hawtin, Nina Kraviz and Len Faki

That's all folks!

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.

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. Amnesia has You&Me, with Josh Baker b2b with Jamie Jones, Marsolo, Laidlaw b2b Natalia Roth, Julian Fijma, Sidney Charles and Alexandria b2b Marlie.

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.

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.

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.
