The only thing better than seeing your favourite DJ play on Ibiza? Catching two of them in the booth at the same time! Luckily, the White Isle has long served as a meeting point for DJs from around the globe and across the spectrum.
Each summer, the back-to-back pairings only get stronger in musical diversity and heavier in names. After careful consideration and heated office debate, we've finalised more back-to-back DJ sets to catch this summer on Ibiza - and they're simply too good not to share.
Carl Cox b2b David Guetta | [UNVRS]
Sunday 26 July
Some back-to-backs instantly jump out at you - and this is the perfect examples of one of those.
Two of [UNVRS]'s most prized fighters square-off in a dual for the ages. Sunday night host Carl Cox going b2b with David Guetta is certainly intriguing, for the mere fact that they occupy very different worlds within the electronic music landscape.
Coxy rules the underground, while Guetta is Mr. Commercial. It sounds like a sound clash that surely shouldn't work. But it will, trust me. Cox gets the best out of everybody he plays with, from Nic Fanciulli to Joseph Capriati, Loco Dice to Adam Beyer. Guetta will be no different.
Detractors will argue the night will be infiltrated by Guetta's fan base. Predictably so. But what a great way to introduce them to a broader sound palette. Despite what many think, Guetta is also a skilled DJ beyond his mainstream appeal. This one is truly unmissable.
Franky Wah b2b Danny Howard | Pacha ICONS | Destino Five Ibiza
Saturday 1 August
Last month, I was at Sonny Fodera's night at Pacha as a guest of Danny Howard and watched him handover to Franky Wah. Franky's track selections added a different dimension to the prevalent vocal House nature of the night. It's always good to mix things up.
At this special peak-season edition of Pacha ICONS, both men make their Destino Five Ibiza debuts.
Despite styles that differ slightly, I think they will find some common ground in front of a young and unpretentious crowd. Plus, *old man alert* I'll have the benefit of watching how it unfolds from the relatively calmness of behind the DJ booth. Thanks Danny!
DJ Pippi b2b Willie Graff | Peace N' Music II Aniversario | Las Dalias & Akasha
Monday 17 August
Are you ready to be schooled?
Back in the day, Pacha wasn't a single-room club, but had several side rooms that, on their night, were just as good as the main room. The Funky Room was one of them. Two of its most prominent custodians were DJ Pippi and Willie Graff.
Legendary though it was, the Funky Room is no more, but it's memory lives on at Peace N' Music at Las Dalias & Akasha. The party's II Aniversario sees both DJs come together (most weeks, they play solo sets - typically Pippi outside and Willie Graff in the club).
These back-to-backs will throw up incredible music, touching on House, Disco, Psychedelic Rock and anything with a groove. No stone left unturned. It will be a proper education from two veterans. Expect forgotten or undiscovered music and possibly a few crowd-pleasers.
Lilly Palmer b2b Hannah Laing | Tomorrowland | Ushuaïa Ibiza
Wednesday 30 September
Have you noticed a theme developing? Two more DJs and another pairing that could prove a bit of a head-scratcher.
Alongside names such as Sara Landry and Mha Iri, Lilly Palmer is one of a current wave of Techno disruptors who are following in the footsteps that the likes of Amelie Lens and Charlotte de Witte laid before them. Proof that representation matters.
Hannah Laing does dabble in Techno at the more accessible end of the spectrum, but also covers everything from Hard House to Trance. Basically, all the ingredients are there for this to be an explosive, fast-paced affair. Tomorrowland at Ushuaïa is the backdrop for this one.
