About CAMELPHAT
Made up of Dave Whelan and Mike Di Scala, CAMELPHAT are the multi-platinum production duo and DJ double-act who have taken over the world since 2016. The pair are behind some of the biggest mainstream dance hits of the past decade, including Panic Room, Rabbit Hole and, the track that helped them break through, Cola.
CAMELPHAT's ambitions are as big as their earlier successes. Seeing them DJ feels like a live show experience, with the scale and scope of production matching the magnitude of the music.
CAMELPHAT's stages and crowds just keep getting bigger. After climbing the Ibiza DJ ranks, first as understudies to Eric Prydz before later becoming his successors alongside pals Solardo, the duo moved to Pacha in 2023 and they took the cherries by storm.
When?
23:00 - 06:00 every Tuesday night, from 20 May to 7 October
Where?
Pacha Ibiza
Avinguda 8 d'Agost, Eivissa, 07800 Open in Google Maps
Ibiza Town is the capital of the island. You'll find a metropolitan centre, the Old Town and the port area, each with its own character, vibe and plenty of lively bars to start your evening. They're about a 10-15 minute walk from Pacha or a short taxi ride.
For those traveling to the resort, you can take the L3 disco bus from San Antonio or the less frequent L13 from the direction of Santa Eulalia. There is a taxi rank immediately outside the club, as well as cafes, bars and restaurants in the immediate vicinity. Many open late-night.

Who?
Artist name: CAMELPHAT
Active: Touring and producing together since 2010 (but far longer as individuals and other projects)
Status: Hit-makers with the Midas touch
Best known for: Cola, obviously!
Number of dates: From the opening to the closing and all 19-weeks in between
Whether you believe in fate or just the age-old notion of achieving your dreams through hard work and persistence, there is little doubt that CAMELPHAT's stars aligned when Pacha came calling. They were made for each other.
Long-time fans will already have noticed a shift in CAMELPHAT's sound. Now, they're operating almost exclusively in the Progressive House/Melodic Techno arena. So while everybody might know and still love Cola, don't take it as a given they will definitely play it.
No artist wants to stay still and sometimes you just need to move on. The type of DJ who CAMELPHAT invite to their parties is also reflected by this artistic direction.
Other DJs with multiple appearances: Kölsch, Pete Tong, Hot Since 82, Chris Avantgarde, Ajna, Samm, Maz

Why?
Five good reasons to go:
- there are few bigger names in electronic music than Pacha icons CAMELPHAT
- great guest DJs booked as support, including some salivating back-to-back sets lined up
- it's a party that can satisfy casual clubbers as much as those really into CAMELPHAT's music
- production that feels on the level of live concert, rather than a club night
- okay, a slim to moderate chance of hearing Cola at the end of the night - no guarantees!
Also worth knowing
5 August will be a huge date as it falls over the period affectionately known as "Scouse Week". Historically, this is a time when the people of Liverpool descend on Ibiza en masse, so it's sure to be a full house for the hometown heroes.
Top tip: Even though you might be less familiar with the names booked for the start of the night, don't let that put you off arriving early. Dave and Mike have roped in some stellar DJs. Many of their abilities defy their seemingly lower profiles. You might just discover your next favourite DJ.
Come for CAMELPHAT; leave obsessed with a DJ you hadn't even heard of 24 hours earlier.
