Afro House titan, Black Coffee has returned to Hï Ibiza for the eighth year, reaffirming his status as one of the island’s most powerful musical forces. We went along to investigate the magic behind the world's number-one club’s very first resident - a title he’s carried with consistent class, curation, and cultural influence since the club opened its doors - to find out what tunes are burning up his dancefloor this summer.
Damian Lazarus feat Fink | Sunrise Generation (Meera Remix) | Crosstown Rebels
Paying homage to Lazarus in the club room next door, Black Coffee announced his arrival in a blizzard of gold confetti, unleashing this hypnotic blend of tribal percussion, floaty melodic lines, and ethereal vocals. Meera’s remix transforms Lazarus’s original into a shamanic groove — cinematic, immersive, and deeply transportive.
MAAURA & Danidane | Like Dat (Ape Drums Remix) | Klub Record
Ape Drums injects this one with a pulsing buzz-saw lead and a high-octane swagger. The hook, “like dat, like dat” - loops like a mantra while razor-sharp percussion keeps the momentum. It’s stripped back, percussive, and built for late-night chaos, it absolutely lit up the crowd!
RÜFÜS DU SOL | Innerbloom (Imad & Denis Louvra Remix) | Sweat It Out!
A personal favourite, and easily one of the most recognisable moments of the night. The Imad & Dennis Louvra remix delivered a delicate yet driving rework, lush pads, stripped-back grooves, and just the right emotional pull. Familiar, hands in the air, yet refreshing, it gave the dancefloor a collective goosebump-inducing and euphoric moment as the iconic lead synth swept the room.
OBESTÄLLT | Riviera | Sven Records
A slice of feel-good euphoria, Riviera rolls in with bouncy piano chords, a punchy kick, and irresistible groove. Strings glide in and build up with perfect timing, adding a lift without losing the track’s dancefloor focus. It’s crisp, confident, and got bodies moving, a no-frills, feel-good house cut with serious replay value.
Jimi Jules & Black Coffee | Trippy Yeah | Innervisions
Another late-night groover with a hypnotic edge. Trippy Yeah moves with intent, led by a gritty sawtooth synth and stripped-back percussion. A staple of many of Black Coffee’s sets, the drop doesn’t explode, but subtly distorts and deepens, pulling you further into the track’s atmosphere.
MoBlack, Salif Keïta, Cesária Évora, Benja & Franc Fala | Yamore (FNX Omar Remix) | MoBlack Records
FNX Omar’s remix transforms the original into a spacious and immersive soundscape, blending shimmering textures with evolving melodies and precise, rhythmic loops. The track balances a bittersweet mood with reflective tones, inviting listeners into a deeply emotional and meditative experience. Pulsing basslines and dynamic shifts carry the mix forward, creating a powerful yet intimate journey for those of us knee-deep in the groove.
