Solomun will be opening and closing the season himself, with five all-night-long nights thrown into the mix throughout the action-packed summer. Since 2013, Solomun+1 has grown into a fixture of its own at Pacha Ibiza,.
In recent years, Idris has taken his DJ career more seriously, performing huge shows at the likes of Coachella. He was even behind the decks at the royal wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle in 2018.
As for four-time DJ Awards winner Solomun, he recently impressed with shows at Alexandra Palace in London as well as an appearance at Las Vegas’ The Sphere.
Ahead of his Ally Pally shows, Solomun opened up to the Mirror about his upcoming Ibiza season. He said: “Ibiza is my creative home.
“Each season brings something new, and next year will be no different, fresh music, unexpected line ups, moments people won’t see coming. The island has a unique energy, and it pushes me to try new things.”
And explaining what made him tick and his shows be so successful, he added: “The key is freedom. Every week, I allow myself to experiment, with new tracks, different directions, and a very eclectic line up with completely different sounds. I never want to repeat myself. That curiosity keeps the residency alive after so many years.”
He went on: “A DJ set is never a one-way thing. It’s always a dialogue. The crowd sends energy, I respond, and then they respond again.
“When that exchange becomes fluid, almost instinctive, that’s where the magic can happen. In the best moments, the room itself becomes part of the set.”
