Nic Fanciulli is no stranger to Ibiza. The DJ, producer and record label owner has played at every club during the last two decades, including several huge back-to-back sets with a certain Carl Cox at some of Ibiza's biggest ever parties. Currently, he's part of the roster at ANTS.
He's also still riding high in Beatport's Top 20 House chart with I Want You, his collaboration with Butch released on Defected back in May. The track has already proven itself to be one of Ibiza 2023's defining anthems.
Later this week, Nic plays three times in four days at three different locations. Here's all you need to know about each party.
Terazzza | Cova Santa | 9 August
First, acclaimed underground party collective Terrazzza teams up with Nic Fanciulli to take on the hidden hillside gem of Cova Santa on Wednesday 9 August. Terrazzza is a cultured party that hosts its own events and festival stages in its homeland and beyond.
Known for showcasing music from across the House and Techno spectrum, Terazzza looks to Tech House champion Nic as the sweet spot between both styles.
Nic plays outside with Tini Gessler from 19:00 to 23:00 and again downstairs in the club, alongside Alex Kennon. As with all Cova Santa parties, we recommend arriving early enough to experience the alfresco dancefloor.
RUMORS | Playa Soleil | 11 August
Down the years, Nic can count some memorable Ibiza residencies. These include Ushuaïa for La Familia (alongside Joris Voorn) and We Are The Night at Pacha, but who can forget his free beachside label jaunts for Saved Records at the former Carl Cox-owned Sands?
Nic returns to the sands of Playa d'en Bossa on Friday 11 August, when he plays for RUMORS at Playa Soleil. Nic has a long standing relationship with Guy Gerber. They worked together on Nic's album My Heart and can regularly be found sharing line-ups together.
He last played this location in summer 2022 for his DANCE concept, back when it was still under its old guise as Bora Bora. We reckon he'll be mightily impressed with the venue upgrades, as are we. Shahar and Talón are the names on warm-up duties.
Please head here to join the free guest list.
Ibiza Global Festival | S'Arenal beach | San Antonio | 12 August
Another day and another free party. This time we're on the opposite side of the island and on an vastly bigger scale than intimate Playa Soleil.
Nic Fanciulli was one of the headliners last year at the inaugural Ibiza Global Festival and he obviously enjoyed himself so much that he's back for the second edition. Afro House maverick AMÉMÉ is the other DJ playing on Saturday 12 August, with support from Global's on-air talents.
Admission is free and open to all, with drinks and food vendors and extra public toilet facilities available on site. Please do not bring your own alcohol and adopt a "leave no trace" mentality.
For those unable to attend, Ibiza Global Festival will be broadcast across its platforms, including 100.8 FM radio, website and social media channels.
With all those sets, we hope that Nic takes Thursday to relax and enjoy the island.
